Hit 500 trees pruned this season and it snuck up on me

I was just tallying up my job logs for the month and realized I passed 500 trees pruned since spring started. Never thought I'd hit that number in one season, especially after that rough elm removal in June that took three days alone. Anybody else keep track of their counts and get surprised by the total?

Snuck up on me" huh? That elm removal probably padded your numbers more than you realize.

Keep a close eye on your debris weight tickets next time, especially if you're chipping or hauling anything with heavy trunks like elm. Those dense hardwoods can throw your totals way off if you're just estimating by eye. I started weighing every load separately after getting burned by a similar surprise on a big oak job years back.

Saw a study once that said elm can be over 40% heavier than pine per cubic foot.
