I barely charge anything for friends and neighbors.
With a moderately powerful 60cc saw that tree could be dropped in the street and sawed up into firewood sized rounds in about 20 minutes. It looks like it's leaning away from the house and seems pretty low risk, but street views can be deceiving. I have already made that mistake...
Never ever try to cut a tree on a ladder, ends badly all too often. I rent a boom lift if necessary.
Stump grinders are expensive and break a lot of stuff that's why stump grinding is expensive.
That's why I built my own. A stump grinder like I made would cost around $6,000 prior to bidenomics... It's probably pushing 5 figures now. But mine is lacking guards and such. I figured if you're close enough for the guard to be effective while it's running and stump grinding, you are wrong. You are danger close to the cutter head and to flying stump chunks, rock bits ect.
