Equipment hours and maintenance tracker for tree services
Every chipper, stump grinder, saw and truck has its hours logged, and you get a heads-up before oil changes, blades and inspections come due, instead of finding out when something breaks on a job.
A machine that breaks on the job costs the job
A tree crew depends on its equipment. If the chipper goes down halfway through a removal, the brush piles up in the customer's driveway; if the stump grinder throws a belt, the crew packs up and comes back another day. Most of those breakdowns follow a service that was due and slipped, because the hours were on a meter nobody wrote down.
Keeping track means knowing the hours on every machine, the interval for every oil change, knife, tooth and filter, and the date of every inspection. That usually lives in a mechanic's head or a notebook in the shop, and the repair history for a machine is hardest to find exactly when you need it: when it is time to sell or replace it.
How it works, step by step
The crew logs hours
From their phones, the crew enters the hours each machine ran that day. Machines that stayed in the yard are left blank.
Service intervals per machine
Oil changes, knives, teeth, filters and grease points by hours, and inspections by date, using the intervals from your manuals and your mechanic.
A heads-up list
At the top of the page: anything overdue, and anything coming due soon, ranked so the most urgent is first.
The repair history
Mark a service done and it is logged with the date and hours. Repairs and notes sit with the machine, ready when it is time to sell or replace it.
Click through it yourself
The demo runs a made-up company, Tall Pine Tree Service, with seven sample machines. Open one to see its service schedule and repair history, mark a service done and see the next one move. Switch to the crew phone view, log a day's hours and watch new heads-ups appear. The service intervals in it are sample settings, not a manufacturer's.
Sample data. Every name, job and number in the demo is made up. Nothing is saved and nothing is sent.

Questions people ask
Where do the service intervals come from?
From your equipment manuals and your mechanic. The demo uses sample intervals. A real setup is loaded with yours, machine by machine.
Can it track inspections by date instead of hours?
Yes. Annual vehicle inspections and similar checks are tracked by date, with a heads-up a set number of days before they are due.
Does the crew need training?
No. At the end of the day they enter the hours each machine ran, one number per machine, on their phone.
Does it order parts or book the mechanic?
No. It tells you what is coming due and keeps the history. Ordering parts and booking service stay with you or your mechanic.
Is this a finished product?
It is a working demo with sample data. A real setup is built around your company: your name, your wording and your jobs. It is scoped and priced before we start.
