Good experience with Sherrill Tree

[MasterBlaster]

It appears the forum that never got going is now gone. I think Tobe forgot the code part.

 

[SkwerI]

I'd try the part he put in quotation marks, "code-worthy".

 

[Tobe Sherrill]

Whoops, forgot the code! My bad.

How about gypoclimber



CARTEL - an association of suppliers with the purpose of maintaining high prices and restricting competition - Example: Columbian drug cartels

...and tx, although your theories are well versed, they're as static as the most partisan political argument. There is no "association of arborist suppliers" out here trying to keep prices high as implied, rather a completely disconnected patchwork of mom & pop regional players being elbowed aside by the occasional "price slasher" who, and you can mark my words on this, if successful at growth, will eventually raise prices and lower quality.

If this meets with cynicism, I would encourage you to apply your theory to the average tree service adjusting price in order to keep good customers. Have you never had a customer request you meet a competitor halfway? What arborist is going to let every underbidding, uninsured chainsaw hack beat them out of their best client(s) over a meager percentage point? Because if so, and if we all did, the country would dry up of quality tree care, and, in time substandard would become the rule rather than the exception. SherrillTree stands behind very strong pricing and has for years. Will competitors sharp-shoot targeted items?

I'll hope for reason.

Thanks Tobe. Quick question, why dont you guys put pricing on your spray equipment?

 

[Tobe Sherrill]

Willie- Pricing is listed on accessories. Since MOST rigs we sell are custom, they're not quoted until designed. Based on your question though, I'm going to voice the suggestion that we price out the skid-mounded rigs in the near future. Thanks for mentioning...

 

[vharrison]

Thanks for stopping in Tobe! I got some great equipment from you recently.

 

[sotc]

Makes sense, I know I would like to see prices on more of the individual componants though

 

[ChuckR]

Tobe---I feel like I'm giving away the competition's secret...keep it simple!

PS: Are you still land sailing? Miss the avatar.

Hi Tobe, I get your catalogue in the mail once a year or so but I dont buy a lot of arborist gear, when I do I usually buy at one of the 3 local (within 25 minute drive, there is one Vermeer dealer but its about 45 minutes away) shops, I do want to say thanks tho, for participating in this forum and responding to the kudos and criticisms. Its encouraging to see a company owner get involved at the consumer level to discuss the things we discuss here.

 

[Old Monkey]

Is there a little red light that starts flashing at Sherrill Tree headquarters every time folks at the Tree House start sniping about them?

Who I order from is determined by who has everything I need at a given time. Usually just one company has every item that is on my list and who that is varies. Soon I will buy another spool of chain so it will be a Bailey's order next.

 

[SkwerI]

I'd guess that Tobe has a program that does a daily Google search of the web looking for certain keywords, including his name and/or the name of his business.

 

[MasterBlaster]

You mean he's not hanging out and chilling? I did notice that he ignored my query.

 

[vharrison]

Tobe, that Excellent Groundman is worthy of publication.

 

[SkwerI]

And he did look at it. I happened to notice when I looked at the who's online page the other night.

 

[Gord]

Hey Paul does that Vermeer dealer in abbotsford have a lot of climbing/riggin stuff in stock?

 

[Paul B]

I was there a couple years ago and they had some, not a lot but as far as I know they have access to anything Sherril carries, if you are headed over here I bet you could have them order up what you need. They are at the same location as Bobcat Country, just off Peardonville road in Aldergrove / Abbotsford.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I just received my Wesspur catalog and it had some waycool hardhat stickers in it. Sweet!

 

[Tobe Sherrill]

PM-ed u this am MB

 

[MasterBlaster]

No PM's in my box.

 

[Bodean]

What if Sherrils sold T-shirts of all the online sites?


The Treehouse
Arborsite
TreeBuzz
Arbtalk

Think of the broadening scope of online arboriculture interactions and education.

Promote information dissemination.

I think they all have t-shirts. This one looks good.



As far as a good experience with Sherrils, we love them.
I think my company buys over $6K a year at times.

That's a great pic, Deva.. Somehow the background looks familiar.

 

[Bodean]

People heckled me for having a wirecore flip line on a rec climb.

Gear Nazi's is what I say.

 

[gf beranek]

It works

 

[MasterBlaster]

I need to get me one of those.

Tobe may be able to hook you up B.
