Hey Bill, could that be modified to dig those deep holes when I detect a coin at 12"?

Up here it's $400 for a trim, $600 for a haircut, $800-4000 for the full cut.
Stump grinding is per inch.
Tree robbery
But if one doesn't maintain it can be a liability.

I can just imagine how much tree service companies have to pay for
insurance..???

I've got an 18" bar Stihl, and my neighbor has a few, including a Stihl
090 (I leave the big stuff for him). I'll be dropping a half dozen trees
this summer, mostly in the 12" class, but there's a couple 100'+ cedars
that also need to go.

Tree service in my town usually involves trading a case of beer, or two
if it's a big tree. And yes, the beer doesn't get drank until after the tree's
down...

That would be nice

Yes it was amazing to see how that was on a track and work
Those deep holes are really hard to do and one has to be cautious of the ticks

These days I donā€™t have the equipment to handle these wind and ice storms.
Seems thereā€™s a swing in the weather patterns over here causing more turbulence at times

Tree work is hard dangerous work. Canā€™t rent a bucket truck or boom lift and trim yourself for much less.

I Pay for the tough stuff. Chain stays sharp for easy drops and clean ups.
I agree this tree service does a great job with the five men crew. and stump grinds ..removes everything and rakes and leaves everything in good shape
My first estimate was $2500 and these guys cost $1500
