Started off today with some tight ATV trail recovery work to open things back up. Tomorrow, we shift gears and start cutting a brand-new trail from scratch. The dead ash trees are putting up a serious fight and taking a bit longer than expected to get through, but the Bobcat T770 is doing what it does best—chipping away at 'em and getting the job done. 🪵💪 Love the grind of Day 1. Looking forward to making some serious headway tomorrow!

For those of you using a day rate for some jobs, how do you 'describe' your work in your quotes? Do you state approx how many hours of actual mulching will be happening? Do you say approx 8 to 5 with X number of hours of mulching, or how do you handle that?

Hi all..I have my first lead/quote lined up. Local farm cleared a hedgerow and stacked up a good size brush pile. Normally they would burn this but proximity to road and houses they are looking for alternative options. There are 3-4 good size poplar and white ash stacked in the pile (that I can see). Curious if anyone has any experience with a job like this and if there are any recommendations for tackling it. I’m thinking about renting a mid size excavator to help separate the big stuff out of the pile. Figure I can mulch it to the side and then dive into the rest of the pile. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
