We have a part time office person. She is great. Really good on the phone and works with our schedule and payroll processing, and keeping me up to date on the ins and outs. Couldn't do it without that position honestly. She makes 14/hr right now with medical benefits. Very very obviously worth...

Hey guys wish I could post on here more often just been super busy with the company. We're looking to hire a climber so if you or anyone you know is interested please call me at 808 265-7495 or email at office@oahutreeworks.com thanks -- stay safe JP

Wow beautiful Jaime, I am so stoked to try this thing out! I haven't logged on in ages (been absolutely slammed with work), but I happen to log in 4 hours after you posted this!! Whatever I have to do to try this thing out I will! After talking briefly with Claasen at Jambo I've been drooling to...

Hi all, I'm on the search for the right sales person for Oahu Tree Works, LLC. This is a great opportunity for the right person. Please see the posting below and contact me here or through email if you or someone you know is interested aloha! Title: Arborist Representative Location: Wahiawa...

I'm pretty confident Jambo will become more and more common over the next 5 - 10 years. To me it is a much closer format to how we actually work and perform our tasks on a day to day. It's like doing 4 master's trees at full on sprint mode. I can't remember ever being so wiped out in a tree...

FWIW, we aim for approx 30% of overhead towards payroll. This keeps the gross margin high enough be "acceptable" to me, but in reality a lot of that true margin gets reinvested back into the company in some form or another. jp:D

Nick are you saying your climbers are making $45.00/hr?? 3% profit margin doesn't seem like an acceptable level of return with the risk associated with this type of work. You could get a better return sleeping in all day and let your money work. The business has to be healthy, as do the...

Nice Nick! I know a few Ceiba's that would smoke that tree though in HI!! LOL does HI count or is it continental US? jp:D

I think if you start running multiple crews and you personally aren't onsite, bidding hourly can be very nice. We shoot for between 70-80/man hour in Hawaii for most pruning jobs and 90-100 for larger removal projects when we have to bid by the hour plus the added costs like log disposal etc. It...

Yes very true and an excellent point. This ties back to product development and marketing, which I'm pretty much ignorant to. My hunch would be that companies like DMM that cater to the very people I described in my earlier post, improve upon or re-develop products/equipment that are already...

I didn't see a question anywhere in your reply(s)? The point I'm on here is that I think the route you/stein took in developing a winch (lifting operation) external of the bollard although innovative in this application, I see as a downside for a number of different reasons. Again I could be...

So are you tending two different devices (rope runner, RW, HH whatever??) at the same time throughout your entire climb?? I'm having a hard time envisioning how it works Kevin? jp:D

Jay that opinion is based on experience working with different companies and getting a decent amount of exposure to the guys working in the field. The majority of the guys that I personally interact with either don't have the money, time, education, or desire to invest in researching the various...

Again, I could be way off base here and I certainly hope for the sake of your time/investment and Stein's as well I am. I'm giving you my initial thoughts having watched the video of how it's setup and operated. In real life it may perform in a way that doesn't parallel how I envision it to...

Reg do you really want constructive criticism or do you want more applauds and pats on the back? You decide what you're open to hearing. The GRCS and HOBBS have done really well in the market (esp. the GRCS) worldwide for a good reason. As has the port a wrap. From my conversations with...

I've never really understood the huge fan base of the GRCS. It's a great lifting device if you want to lift a 300lb log for 50 ft. For taking out slack on a large trunk section and then transitioning to a lowering operation in a short period of time, I never liked or trust ed the device at the...

Here's a shot in one of the platform trees looking down we were doing weight reduction on some of the leads with questionable attachment points down low Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Here's one of many trees we worked on a week or so back at the zipline project on big island. The trees are an anomaly here we worked on one casuarina that was close to 200' tall from the base down in a gully I couldn't believe it until we strung our ropes out and figured the height to our tie...

If you're running a 532dx which it sounds like you will be, i would buy the 7K ramps from TNE. They are aluminum and we use them all the time to load mini and other equipment into the back of an F550 works great. The only change I would consider would be to modify the ends of the ramps to make...

I use tri tech it's a great rope as flip line stiff for removals but light and flexible for pruning work nice balance Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
