    Free Bid versus Consult, how to explain to the customers

    I run into way too many questions at bids, and would like to 1) get paid for my time 2) weed out bad customers 3) not allienate good customers, and lose out on doing their bids. Recently, as an example, the renter was told to get bids to 'clean up' the tree or remove it. I ended up skipping...

    Employee management/ problems/ solutions

    Hey all, just thought this would make a good consolidated discussion, allowing August's Driver's License thread to be uncluttered. One rant thread to blow off steam, another thread in a slightly different vein. Sena's help immensely. I have such a hard time with getting information back, Call...

    New employee experiment

    I was thinking of hiring a brush monkey, working from the neck down. Low skill, low training, low pay, low expectations. A person to put branches into a machine, rake, and blow. I haven't had this before. Always trained guys to cut and rope, some climbing. My new guy, who I've spent...

    Tulip Poplar dripping sap, attracting insects. Discuss.

    HO has a TP which is uncommon here. Never worked on one. New homeowners with young child. Tree allegedly drips sap which attracts insects, which makes the backyard less usable on this typical, small residential lot in town. Internet research points to 'scale' infestation. What is your...

    Tulip Poplars, Felling and Rigging, Discuss.

    I have a bid request for a TP removal or treatment. New homeowners complain of (according to the neighbor) sap dripping and attracting insects, making the small residential back yard use problematic. They are not typically found here.

    Windfall and Spring Pole cutting technique links?

    I know someone doing owl surveys that has to go out into forested areas, sometimes clearing jackstraw/ jumbled windfall on roads. Any good links for beginners to pick up techniques. So far, I gather it has been figuring it out as they go, to a degree. Especially useful would be a more formal...

    Which new mid-sized saw?

    I'm in the market for new saws this season. I'm accustomed to Sthl models, and don't speak husky numbers well. I like my MS 361 in the tree, and for lighter cutting on the ground and could use something similar, or a big more powerful. I have a 460 and 660 now. I was thinking of a 461, but...
