Description:
Tree Service company averages 18-22 k a month. I am even working all winter. I am running about 30 days behind schedule because of lift can not function on wet ground. This piece of equipment is a leased towable unit that only reaches 55 foot at basket. I am making money but spending 6500 dollars a month in lease equipment. I also have a Vermeer wood chipper 700 xl that is leased. I have been doing tree service for years and fell free climbing with spikes a few years back broke three ribs and ankle plus ribs. I do not free climb with spikes any more. I am still old school with guys rolling logs and loading a non dump trailer. I loss about four months of working and loss all my equipment and now after my separation have bad credit. I was approved for equipment loan yesterday but paying daily 220.00 from my bank account and loan 1900. a month did not make since. I would agree paying 15 to 20 % on money loaned and set schedule. But not going to pay 75K on a 38 thousand dollar loan plus daily. I make money but not going broke with something I love doing and very well known in my area and very busy.
