Have you always done tree work?
not really, ive done little stuff from the ground for a long time, only the last couple years started doing it regularly. i work with a friend of mine who has a ton of gear but got sick of having employees, then covid kind of shut him down. i basically provide labor, chainsaws and truck/dump trailer and he has the lift and stuff. its incredible how much work 2 guys can get done with the lift he has and a chipper and loader. involves a little bit of moving equipment around, but its orders of magnitude more efficient than climbing with ropes.

Very common for a tree guy not to be mechanically inclined.

Of the couple I've been around I discovered the exact same. On the last removal I was at, one guy using a 395 w/36" hit metal, pulled the saw out and couple of them all gathered. Then he proceeded to put the saw back in the same cut and tried to cut through the metal. Smoke started pouring off the b/c, I started waiving at 'em. I volunteered to make that last cut w/ my saw. Moved down a couple inches and no metal. That was the worse chain I have ever saw. Completely clueless.






Great hall of produce from the garden yesterday.
