Looking for ways to keep key employees AND making them responsible. Anyone ever set-up a profit sharing program? In Canada? My bros worked for 1-800-GOT-JUNK and I think he got profit sharing at the end of every day. Didn't make him stay, but I remember him working harder to get the job done...

I have a municipality that have asked me to give them a proposition for risk assessment in three parks, roughly 1100 trees. They have no idea how to go about this, so I was thinking of doing it this way: - Level 1 walk by assessment with a 360 degree observation of each tree. Note only major...

Anyone run these? I'd love to get some feedback. I'm looking at a used 2015 model: http://stumpcutters.com/wood-chippers/drum-style/2015-15-in-apache/ They seem to be well made machines. One thing that worries me about this particular model is the relatively small drum (24 inches) for a 15...

Short video we did with the guys from UpEquip who distribute Easy-Lift in North America. We took down seven dead EAB infested ash trees in a pretty tight spot. They weren't super huge trees, but using the lift made it just that much easier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoUAJnTUwrU <iframe...

http://equipment.treetrader.com/user_images/7773958.jpg These look awesome! I heard they were ridiculously expensive though, like 150k used. Anyone know? Seems like a smaller kboom, like a Timberland Truck, would be a better investement if that is the actual price tag.

I don't know all that much about trucks or cranes, but this seems like it was a decent price. We have a federal contract with a couple of military bases around here and the guys say government stuff is very well maintained. What do you guys think, did I miss out on something...

from the past few weeks. First is a couple of fairly large poplars that we're deadwooded, located in a parc. Second is a dead hemlock over a solarium. Got to do a bit of speedlining. Enjoy!!! <iframe width="853" height="480"...

So, bad bad news, my truck crapped out on me today. Damn 6.5T won't hold it's pressure, apparently most likely cause would be crankshaft bearings. Anyway, time for a new truck. I really want a cabover this time, preferably with an aluminum box. I'm going to try this one out in the morning...

So, I got to get this out... Large muni contract came out yesterday: 62 ash trees to take down, different sizes, a couple difficult ones with live wires, some stumps with soil replacement and grass, all the trees are completly dead from EAB, haul everything away. I came in second, but the guy...

We did this job a couple of weeks ago. We took down 9 white pines total, 7 with a 175t, one was climbed and the other flopped. This was by far the biggest machine I've worked with and one of the larger projects I've coordinated in the three years my business has been running. Space and...

Anyone run one of these on the top of their truck? My 3500 has been having a hard time dealing with full loads and the bigger chipper. There seems to be two types, concave and convexe. Any brands or recommandations...

I just might be pulling te trigger on a small piece of property. This would allow me to keep, produce and sell firewood. I've seen people stack wood on pallets and then move them with forks. My Vermeer 600 isn't very strong, but I think I could move at least a third of a face cord at a time...

Nothing too special, but the guys did a good job on the removal and on the video editing. The battery died right before they started rigging... oh well. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQHCybh6xU4 Note: for some reason the client wanted the logs as long as possible, lawn damage was...

I'm wondering how EAB has affected the timber market in areas that were hit hard? The insect has just started to do it's damage in more urban areas around here, which will bring alot of climbing business. My question is more about how a mass flooding of ash wood has affected it's value? Is...

I've heard this is a common problem on these models; bottom roller jamming on dead wood mostly. We open the belly pan but it still happens. Now, the rollers seem to be sensitive and jam even just when feeding larger branches. The hydraulics make a good squeal when it happens. I don't want...

Anyone? Seems to be a double braid...

This is being sold a couple hours drive from me. 200 gallon tank with a honada 5,5hp engine. The guy doesn't know what kind of pump it is though. He said he doesn't think it will produce that much pressure, they only used it for watering flowers and stuff. He paid 3500$ about four years ago...

I wanted to change the sprocket on my 346, so I stuffed the closest piece of rope I had laying around in the spark plug hole. Seems a couple of the strands made their way into the muffler port and now the piston is locked up. I tried turning both the flywheel and the clutch in the opposite...

So I wanted to install some brakes on my chipper that has a Torflex axle. The guy at Bandit told me that since it's a non-brake axle, I would have to replace the whole thing. Anyone know a way around this? Is it possible? I have a couple of pics around if they can be of any help. Thanks!

I just went to check out a nice Bandit 90xp from an older fella whos has been using it to clean up around his property. The machine has really low hours and is in pristine condition. The only issue I think I might have spotted was on the hydraulic motors that turn the feed wheels. They had a...
