$200 isn't too bad considering you're in a major City. A lot of place like golf courses, resorts or even hotels might be willing to trade tree services for space to park vehicles. I have a similar setup on a farm here on Oahu we do a lot of tree work for them and we have a nice secure spot for...

What I was getting at was the feeling of how much easier your life is about to become with that machine; I had a similar experience recently getting the mini + bmg, and like many others had the same thought of 'why did I wait so long'.... jp:D
