I am enjoying your video programs and I am amazed at how you seem to become one with your equipment to get the most effort into each job. I do not like watching TV, as I am not into all of the Fabricated News, Half Truths and outright lies to say nothing about the strife that is taking place in our country... Your programs offer me a avenue to avoid all the bad programing and at the same time give me a source for enjoyable programing.. Thank you for the video's, keep ;up the good work and always be safe....

Excellent operator on many kinds of heavy equipment. He uses logic on every move. Certainly good at his job. I was also a heavy equipment operator back in the day. I especially like the grappl,e on the. Excavator and the bucket that turns completely and tilts left or right . Great!!

What does a job like this cost? Not counting bad weather, how long did you think this was going to take? I mean, you've got three (Dozer, track hoe, and haul truck) large equipment, so what do you think your operating cost are per hour? For each piece? How many hours was this job? How do you charge for transport?
@littlefinkle77574 жыл бұрын
Generally speaking, you should charge enough to be profitable, and each person has different cost, so each would be different in price. Every business owner has to find his/her own niche and always plan for business growth and the cost of not only maintaining equipment but replacing equipment.

So if you were to grab one of those stumps (perhaps a softer wood) between the bucket and the thumb (where the tines? teeth? could dig into the grain) Could you split the stump? Does the bucket/thumb combo have enough force? I know it's not an efficient use of time nor good stress on the machine. It was a random thought I had watching you toss stumps around.
