Hurricanes make for great clean up work, but its not at all worth it. Nice job though.

[Mondragon Lawn Serv]

it was good work hard work i'll tell you for sure, real dangerous we had to rent the crane because of the live power line

[josh1981]

beautiful chainsaw but really strong you got to have experince with chain saws for this bad boy specially with a longer bar but it's the best saw i have but i still love my old echo's(CS6700) as well they have lasted a long time but get it if you have plenty of jobs for it

[josh1981]

nice I have ms 290 and 180 I can handle any saw big or small

How well does it cut in bigger stuff

it cuts really well, i took out a 36" in daimeter oak like it was a 12", it goes right through, has a real good kickback just watch for that

[josh1981]

sounds good how does compare to 460

i've never had a 460 so i wouln't be able to compare it it's a smaller saw but i don't know the comparisson sorry can't help ther

[South Florida Lawns]

Thats a huge mess! I'll bet that crane made life a little easier. Especially getting that stump out of the ground.

Powerline? Thats a house service.:laugh:. I commend you on the safety part. However the crane was overkill. How did you guys make any money? There are many ways to skin a cat I quess. Was that your house or did you guys get a call to clean up? A few well placed cuts and some rope would have been my choice. Atleast no one was hurt.:waving:

their insurance company paid for everything and plus we had done previous jobs for them and the light company was not going to do it till a month or two later so they called us we did it we still got good profit even though a crane was needed

[talus]

Thats good about the insurance co. Typical utility bull. If you drove down the street you probably would have seen a few of them at the local donut shop throwing balls of electrical tape ay each other.:hammerhead::hammerhead:

its alright. Im puttting an ad on craigslist this weekend for chainsaw work and word of mouth. Ill get some jobs for sure. But if I get bigger jobs ill be getting ms441. :) if I can afford the saw. If not 361 or used 046 (old 460)

so I have 3 choices :)

sucks to be the owner of that house. it looks like you have some nice equipment tho.

LOL the insurance company didnt pay for anything they just loaned the money to your customers, wait until they get there adjusted premiums.;)

it all depends on which insurance company you have cuz we had roof damage and its been fixed and we only paid a deductible (which i hate as well but thats a diff story) but our rates hasn't gone up or (premiums )

Where's your safety gear?

thats what I was thinking! Be glad OSHA didn't ride by or they would have shut you down on the spot. It sure is easy to be careless. :hammerhead:
