Was curious if anyone has used or uses drones to do aerial surveys of the jobs they quote? Thinking of the larger 10+ acre jobs where it would be simple enough to deploy a drone and survey the land and present that in the formal quote? I know they are expensive but curious if it would be a boost to the professionalism and possibly a secondary service of providing land surveys to people including timber companies or anyone else

Looking to upgrade my 333G. I like it up its getting up there in hrs (3400) and looking to upgrade capacity. Rented a 275XE over the weekend and that was a great machine, and have used an ASV RT135 which was a beast, but looking to see if anyone has had experience with a Lamtrac or other 150hp+ machines and if they are even that much better. The difference in my 100hp 333G and 135hp RT135 was astounding, I cant imagine what adding another 15-20hp on top of that would be, especially if it was deleted and tuned....

My name is Thomas and I own Wright Management Solutions L.L.C. We’re based out of Maryland. I’m still in the rental phase but I know eventually I’m going to have to buy a setup of my own. I’m torn between Deere and Cat I’ve heard great things about both, but not so much about the ugly. What’s the comparison between the Deere 333p and 335p and the Cat 275xe Lm 1 or 2 and the 285xe Lm 1 or 2. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Was out to quote an 8 acre lot on a fairly decent incline with light/med vegetation tree removal. Since I have a 333g I would like to rent a piece of equipment (like an FAE PT175). Besides the rental price, how would you quote this job assuming they wanted all the little stuff gone but leave the big trees? Note: Each line is 10ft

I will be launching a forestry mulching specific company with a new 275xe and a fecon head. I filed my LLC with the state and got my EIN. I created my Facebook page and also did my Google account. Soon I’ll be renting a skid steer from cat to take to my buddies property to mulch so I can make content and make videos for my pages. I have a 2022 Chevy 2500 dmax. It is paid off and I am looking for trailer ideas. I DON’T have a flat bed so I am worried about having space on a tandem 10k axle bumper pull trailer. I would like to have a job box for spare parts and maintenance items. Also store a grapple bucket. My truck is setup for a gooseneck as well I know the ride quality is better and I would have more space but is it really necessary? I have a class A CDL. Any input on what I should be doing from now until January when I start scheduling jobs for February would be appreciated and any input on the trailer setup I should go with would also help.
