Lol its by the ton here friend
I have to say besides the (should I say) delicateness of the palm thing....
those big dramatic eucs all you guys refer to all the time that you climb up 200 or 300 feet daily...
in reality in my encounter are for the most part puny little sissy trees.
this is an awful attractive unit you must admit tho....
Look at that hacked-up trunk. Someone used a chainsaw to pretty it up. I learned to ball and round with a small spade. Seems someone went with the low bid!

Dang TV! You were right down the road from me! I am at the end of Palomar Airport Road. Your phone book sucks!

I know what you are saying. I had a spike go thru my forearm and it was pulled thru all the way as to not make it worst. Also most don't know that it is best to remove only the dead fronds and the fruit if needed. I don't like customers that feel like they are ( "paying by the pound",
Jeff , CTSP
Oh mannnn I hate CI date palms...
This spike was in my arm for 10 months. I was happy when it finally came out!!!

I am thinkin less than 10 seconds with a pair of vice grips
we slammin a moderate size tuliptree and a few others today and then taking a limb off a roof of a house that was built around a huge organ to record church music. The house itself is a music instrument to some degree (in the woods).

After it initially happened two doctors dug around and told me there was nothing in there. I just had a huge sensitive bump on my arm for 10 months. Then finally, I saw something sharp begin to poke out of my skin- so I grabbed some tweezers and pulled out the bugger.

Today:
Sweet little Zen job trimming cedar hedges, no power tools, quiet, relaxed, and in the shade most of the day. But still at our full rate. Beauty.

Well, I may or may not get crap for this, but, Seems to me as a two man operation, you are taking the easy way. What if I come show your groundie how to climb and bury you as the groundie, and then go brag have a cig. If you are as good as you think you are, you could of ran up that "groundie burying limb" and wizzed out a bunch of cut up and ready to move debris! If you are ground friendly, your guys are productive.

Tell me Jeffy, how good do I think I am? I'm still unsure how to answer that myself. lol. IMO, it's always easier and faster to cut stuff up on the ground than in the tree. Yes, Eric had to work harder for that lead than I did, but overall we were quicker...which is what's important. On many trees, I work harder than him. That's the nature of the biz.

200 bucks for a 395? Sounds like you landed a sweet deal!

It needs a little work but the piston looks good, compression feels good and it starts and runs. My buddy does this every year, buys some saws and equipment, loses his ass on a tree job, vows to never do trees again and sells everything. Last year I got a 385 for $200 and a 200T for $100. I always shake my head at him but readily hand over the cash.
Nice. I did think there was some irony in you mentioning his "annual going out of business sale"
100 bucks for a 200t is unbelievable. PM me next time he has one of these sales. I will fly over!

With a 2 man crew (all I have really ever had) throw in a Dingo and it will drag that (lead?) out of the picture immediately or if nec spin it around and then drag it out of the lz.
On a daily basis the machine just boggles my mind what it does and how it would be impossible to be competitive without one anymore.
Took out a 30" dia 90ish foot Tulip today and the little toy figuratively manhandled that tree whereas in the past I would have brought in the crane to boom in the logs.
Magic pure and simple.
