$600 was a hell of a deal! Time and equipment would have easily been closer to $1,500 around here.

@warrenmichael918 11 ай бұрын

$600 was pretty cheap without knowing more about the job i suppose. Pretty flat ground with just a few decent sized trees was an easy job but its location would be a major price factor. If Andrew only had to drive a pretty short distance, that could also be considered in his price. If someone had to load up and drive an hour away , then it was not worth that. If he just had a few miles to drive, maybe it was an easy $600 for him to make. Not to mention the guy will call him back to do other jobs since he wasnt gouged by Andrew.

So basically you and the machine were getting paid very little per hr. Not worth getting out of bed for $600 especially with moving equipment to the job site.

@branchandfoundry560 11 ай бұрын

I'm with you at $1,500. I left land work 17 years ago and we were $125 to haul equipment to the jobsite, then $75/hr for equipment time with 8hr minimum. So that would be a $725 day rate many years ago. Given the passage of time and everything has doubled since covid, I'd say a $1,500 day rate would honestly be low. At face value, that sounds like a lot to me as an individual who works hard for my paycheck. But as a business man who needs to turn a profit, this equipment isn't cheap to purchase & maintain. So, I'd bet $1,500 is actually a low day rate when you run the numbers.

You inspired me to start my own business. After years of working for companies.

Rates for doing equipment work seems to have went through the roof and he probably was getting quotes to have it mulched and was probably getting numbers in the 1500-2500 range so 600 probably was a great deal for him

Solar Panels are what you need on the Mountain. 1 or 2 rows like he had would give you power. Cloudy days would be the only draw back.Seamed like a fairly easy set up and if you made them higher you could get a few things out of the weather. Throw some sides around how ever many and you'll have small sheds with power. Take a bit to recoup the costs, but offset the fuel for generators and it might make it reasonable. Would be way less costly than running a mainline for electricity, at least for now.

For example: Takeuchi $500; brush cutter $150; labor $300; transportation (truck, trailer, fuel) either mileage .75+ or a zone Like UPS $100, $150, $200. Look at rental rates from local equip and they always have a delivery fee, etc for comparison. Your $600 was about half of other comments and probably close to a tractor/brush hog rental and I doubt he could have buzzed down those cedar/junipers.

The head was the width of the Bobcat and had 9 cutters mounted vertically with maybe 8 inserts per drum. It was a BEAST. The guy at the rental shop said that it's his best machine for clearing land because it throws the mulch straight down into the soil and continuously recuts until it's so small and lays on the ground.

@@AndrewCamarata It is excessive force (Government>/ City counsil) telling you that you need a permit. No permit, no license to do the job. Next fase is Police and hefty fines...

Hi Andrew great to see another video, as to the solar its around 25 years you get out of them basically no maintenance , you need to balance your battery storage with the panels you have, its an investment for sure but if you get a half decent amount of sun 🌞 it's probably worth it ,its definitely worth looking into.

I'd say 600 is way too cheap. You pushed that mower hard! What an impressive unit. I'd have said a 3k min with all those trees. I'm honestly surprised the mower mulched up all those big trees. I say 3k aud, maybe 2k usd

I think that is the first time you have mentioned the price for a job. It looks like about 6 acres. It would have estimated it at $350 for the loader and mower and $60 per hour for operator. Travel at $5.00 per mile. But it all depends on local rates and the relationship with the customer. Nice work!

Andrew, your castle home roof would be a perfect place for solar panels... and after saying that, if you get your long shed built, the solar panels would provide more power than you'd ever need there (with proper battery storage). Our church invested in a solar system in 2015. It was making us money from day one. It was paid off about 2 years ago and its life expectancy is about 30 years. Panel degradation at the time of installation was about 10% over the life of the panels. That's gotten a bit better over time. Our panels are 250w each. Now, the same size panel is pushing nearly 400w. Things are getting better, I think you'd be very pleased if you were to make that kind of investment on your property. Thanks for your time. Be well, be safe!

@LaTech064 11 ай бұрын

Man that brush cutter is a hoss. 600 bucks seems like a reasonable price especially when you have the perfect piece of equipment for the job. Land clearing outfits can get pretty pricey depending on the area and what all equipment they have to bring for the job so I think you just earned a repeat customer for the future, helluva job Andrew.

@guytech7310 11 ай бұрын

$600 is way to low, but since he has a YT channel it makes up for the difference. Probably between the Skid loader & the brush hog its about $40K in equipment. Another $10K for the trailer used to haul the skid loader to the site. Usually daily rates is $1000/day (or more) per machine\operator.

@raeanker3078 11 ай бұрын

Here in Twin Waters Queensland Australia, the government subsidies homeowners to have solar power installed, with either battery storage or feed back into the grid. Whatever excess power you generate and don’t use, is feed back to the grid and you get paid a set tariff. On our four bedroom home with four adults, our twenty four panels on a six kilowatt system has us around six hundred dollars per quarter in credit, definitely worth it.

Pricing for this ?x,000 sqft ararea.. $600 was too low..considering both machines, Travel, fuel & man & insurance & maintenaince/overhead..$800-1000 would have been a reasonable/solid offer. Also, confirm that machine, T10, is a low flow unit. Thought (from earlier video) your T12 was the high flow unit. This combo used 2day did just fine! Glad you had those red Bolt cutters on hand, good planning. Stay safe & carry on !👍👏💪⚙️🛠🍺😊

build your sheds for your detachable equipment then mount your solar on top. also, you can use that power on trickle chargers on your big equipment. will save you battery money and time from jumping them when needed. you already have the shed with the lift so test it {price, install, etc.}and decide from there. systems are easy to expand.
