Your a gentleman and a scholar, i work fulltime at a powerplant as a utilities mechanic and although there is a lot of overtime which is great i would feel more engaged and happier getting my own thing going as a side hustle. Your vids have helped me.

great video like always. pricing is all over the place just in one city. and they all do a different stump grinding style. Thanks again and god bless you as well. We love your videos!

Great video! Thank you! One of my biggest questions when I started was how to price. I love your heart brother!

Thank you!! This video is perfect. I'm an arborist full time, but an incredibly lucrative client whom I removed about 15 smaller oak trees requested I come grind some stumps from trees they had removed several years ago prior to even meeting me. I have a reserved hydraulic vermeer for the job. I took a shot in the dark and asked $600, which was the $200/day rental cost and $60/ea stump, which I see now may've been a little low since the stumps were nearly flush to the ground, but about 36" diameter. I wasn't super far off at least! Also... Our gas here in PA is $3.31, I go over to Ohio and pay $2.90 instead.

You a solid guy!!! You a man of wisdom and God gone continue to bless you because you living right and you heart is pure!

Thanks for sharing. It's always helpful to learn what others are doing because everyone knows something you don't. Some of the stump grinders on FB can be pretty ugly to someone just wanting to ask a question. One youtuber had a useful nugget of wisdom. He believed that he should be getting about 50% of his bids and will adjust his price accordingly.

Thank you for the info real helpful. 💯

I bought a hand swing to add onto my mowing business but it’s mostly for my own use. I live in a rural area where many don’t care if they have some stumps in their yards but I try to get my mowing customers to get rid of stumps in their yard so I will use it for that too I hope. If things pick up and I think I could grind a fair amount of stump maybe I’ll get a used grinder like a Bandit SG-40 or maybe you have a good grinder, not a tow behind for someone starting out. Thanks for all the info. You rock. Oh and I want a ‘70 Mustang Mach 1 soo bad but my income right. Now just isn’t there right now. Maybe someday...

Interesting vid, gave me food for thought. I can say, I am on par with your cost, using my skid steer and grinder as needed.

Thanks for the info brother, you are such a big help for me just getting into the game!

Great video! Especially calling out those that won't work!

Another great video! Thank you for sharing with us. We do appreciate your time and experiance. Grind on brother!

Love your videos no bs 👌🏾

Really appreciate the advice.

Just found you today and I live in east Oklahoma and getting ready to start a stump grinding business

I know the contest is over but I love that bike. I've been looking for a 1992 Honda nighthawk so I could replicate that bike. I believe the front forks came off of a Yamaha r1 or an R6 can't remember. I love building bikes. maybe one day after a good little money saved up from grinding some stumps I'll be able to buy all my parts and find the bike. I wanted to say thank you for making the videos that you make they're really helpful and we need more people like you in this world.

Great video has helped me a lot in figureing out what to charge thanks!!!

Really glad I found this channel. Thanks for the shout out for the sticker in the video. I’m a patrol Sergeant for our local Sheriff’s Office. I’ve always believed you lead from the front. I don’t ask my guys/girls to do something I won’t do. Just over 7 yrs. left so hopefully I’ll get a part time stump grinding business going so I can make it full time when I retire. Thanks again.

Thank you for your time and knowledge i just picked up my first stump grinder STX 26 and i am definitely subscribed and listening up Thank you Sir Carry on!

Thanks for your honesty and time, very few people would share their trade experiences!!

You are a great guy. Thx for all your advise.

You are so fair with your brother at the PTA Golf court price. Really good video brother 😊

Another great video, thanks! Down here in Montreal area, Canada, prices are about 10$CAD per inch. Around the city, prices drops as you are going out of the metropolitan area. By charging by inches, you make more money with small stumps, the bigger they are, at some point you need to adjust i.e. 5 feet silver maple with a lot of surrounding roots cannot be done for 600$ or you'll be loosing money. Cheers!!!

Thank you so much very helpful

Adam ! You are such a genuine altruistic american citizen. Thank you for being you ! It warms my heart to know there are still great people in this world !! Also thanks for the great info!!

Sir we live in Oklahoma as well!! Great videos, thanks for all the info.

Thank u my friend

I think your reasonable and fair on pricing.

Great job!! Love your videos!!

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. God bless

Wish I had a good boss like you

I paid 3.84 for diesel yesterday and 3.35 for regular unleaded yesterday in west Michigan

Appreciate the tutelage. Thinking about starting something like this in FL after I retire from the Navy next year. Thanks again.

Love your videos! Keep it up

Another great video brother. Keep sharing!!

I had to hand swing a 56" diameter stump it took me about 3 and a half hrs of non stop swinging. They wanted it as deep as we could get it

2/12/23 SOUTH LOUISIANA,NOLA.. DIESEL $4.35GAL. GAS $2.95GAL... BEEN DOING PART TIME GRINDING WITH A TORO HAND SWING... JUST BOUGHT A 252V SO HOPE I CAN GET BIGGER THIS SUMMER... THANKS FOR YOUR INFO SIR...

God bless you brother. amen

Great tips brother! Thanks for sharing

I started grinding a year ago, I got a pull type grinder, electric/ hydraulic, works great,, I'm looking to buy a small grinder like yours for tight urban access,, if you're interested in selling it when you retire that would be the time frame I'd be interested buying, (financial plan)

Thanks for the info

Sounds like I'm right on the money on the price thanks for your information I've been in the business for years and I'm running 2.75 an inch I'm in Florida

Love your videos. They’ve been a lot of help as I’m just getting started. Question for you. How do you charge for surrounding roots?

💯💯💯 great video 💪🏽

Great video! I live in TULSA. I have a full time job and started my side hustle with yard business this summer. I've done well paid off my trailer and will pay off my commercial mower by years end. Next year is all profit but I will run winter clean out ads to keep the hustle going. I plan to start a stump grinding spring 2022 I will use lawncare business funds from 2021 to buy a stump grinder will start with the toro 26 or 36 if that is correct cant remember the exact number. Looking forward to expanding my small lawncare business by adding stump grinding. You've been a wealth of knowledge I frequently watch your videos. Thanks

What a great video.. Very informative.

Just started grinding for my company still in the process of figuring out my pricing. There's a few guys in my area ruining the business with their low pricing.

Are you planning on making that finance video? I’m always interested in learning what someone successful has done to get to where they are? Thank You

Can you please a video or an example video of how you measure trees in diameter inches. Thank You.

Fantastic stuff, thanks for shooting straight. Got a question regarding hauling your rig to do a quote so you could do the job while your there - don't you have to do a utility locate first; or not in OK?

Jesus that 20K job sounds like a dream - I'd kill to be able to quote a job like that. That's 1/4 of my regular salary in a week!

Great tips on customer service👍👍👍

Subscribed!!!! Your video tutelage certainly helps for people who want to get in the stumping game. Do you recommend buying the machine upfront if you have the capitol?

Great video!

Thank you dude

Love your videos. I work as a tree climber for a small tree care company that does not stump grind and does not want to. I have been looking for side income and your inspiring me. I am thinking about getting a stump grinder. What grinder would you recommend as far as size? Generally our company does not so that many removals perhaps one a week.

Great videos been checking them out.. have a question what the difference & how do they work definitely between straight, k & angled teeth & pockets on the stump grinder wheel? I just purchased a barreto sg30 stump grinder ..thank you

Thank you for the info, I’m a full time firemen in SC, I’m looking at getting started on my own, one man show starting out and see how it grows, I’m looking at doing it on my 2 days off! What type machine do you recommend for starting out? Thanks for all the videos

Hey man, thanks for this video! I just started a stump grinding business about a month ago and already have work rolling in, but I'm renting machines right now, which is a little bit tricky. I was curious what you found to be the best way to get some financing to own my own machine. Thanks!

Subscribed. Great content. I’m looking to start a small side job on my days off. What’s a good homeowner machine than can handle regular use before investing in a larger machine? Hurricane Laura took out a gazillion trees in my area and the amount of work is plentiful. Also, what are some of the main things to look at when purchasing a used machine? Thanks!

We Appreciate You

1992 Honda cb750 with yzf fr end

😁👍👍👍

I have a 60 horsepower compact tractor with 3-point Erksin stump grinder and takes me in an hour and a half just to load up and an hour and a half to unload and I as you said I can could go out unless I get $600 I have today at $1200 for the day and it doesn't matter if it's a six-ins grinder and you probably wouldn't be able to do it my tract is so big I can't just throw it around with me what your thought on that. And I always liked your videos and have been a blessing and thanks again God 2nd commandment love thy neighbor as they self

Hi! Great video as usuall, thanks for sharing your expreience. I'm new into stump grinding here over in Sweden and recently bought me a used (600h) Rayco 1645S. I still use the old teetht that came on the machine and have been sharping them with an angle grinder and a special grind disc, but i find the teeth gets dull really fast. What teeth would you reccomend for my machine? Its an 44 hp diesel turbo engine. /Marcus

Love this. My two son’s just started with Rayco RG37T and trying to figure out how to price. So irrespective of cost per inch, how do you determine MINIMUM for a single stump and then add for additional stumps?

Thanks for the information would you charge more to remove chips?

Do you charge by inches on the tree or do you include the raised areas on the tree. I know a lot of guys 3/per inch. Some parts of the country are 7-8/inch. Got a lot of big trees up north. Could you do a video on how you do a tree estimate?

Hey mustang, its clate again,been taking notes on startup and such this weekend I've got a 2.5 foot stump I'm going to be grinding with a powerking walk behind machine i purchased and was wondering if you have any recommendations for my first stump seeing im no longer trimming and starting the grinding game..

Price sounds fair

Nobody in my area has a machine and nobody around West Texas and the Permian basin does it to my knowledge

Thank you for this information! So I just quit my job and sold my house and looking for some new business ideas. I am a father of 4 small boys and considering getting into stump grinding as an income stream. Maybe they can help out down the road? Do you have a suggestion for what kind of grinder i should start out with? Also I plan on getting the book how to win freinds and influence people. I appreciate your honesty in your videos, very inspiring to me! 👍

Great information. Thank you. Where in oklahoma?

You mention that sometimes you just do the job on the same day that you give the quote. Do you call dig safe when you grind?

I own a tree company and im thinking of investing in a spider lift but im doing well as a climber and I have a 42 ft bucket truck. I don’t feel comfortable, liability wise, sending my guys out to drop trees without me. But, I think stump grinding could be profitable and something I could delegate to one of my guys while I’m climbing or on vacation. What are your thoughts?

Have you ever considered charging by the area of a stump? Like someone else mentioned a very large stump you aren't making the same as a small stump.

You may have mentioned- what is a good starter machine?

I should reword that is your price set at 3.50 and that is all you charge to cover travel and repair cost along with your personal wage or do you add anything else in there and what's a good percentage to take out for repairs?

Hi the video is good info looking to get in this business what's is a good dollar figure monthly grinding

How much do you charge per Inch now? what is contractor price? And what is residential? Thank you very much! :D

Is sales tax included in your pricing? My country has a 15% GST rate and it's typical to quote price + gst but every know and then a customer misunderstands and gets grumpy when the final price is higher than they expected

Do you go and look at all the stumps you bid?

Hey I just started my business I bought a toro sgr 13 honda how much should j charge for half a Day or a whole day

OK? OK. O-K!

Just sent you an email.

Is there any demand for a business that cleans up stump grindings?

What is the make/model of your grinder?

Where can I find your email? I would love to pick your brain further. Appreciate your attitude and your experience.

Do you charge your minimum on top of the per inch cost or if you have a 36 inch stump do you just charge 126

I have a few questions do you have a way I can contact you?

I don’t understand the diameter inch price. At $3 an inch a 10in stump would only be $30? Maybe I’m calculating something wrong

You answered my question I wish I could pick your brain a little more

Why do some areas charge 3-500$?

Hey what part of oklahoma

I would like your door hangers info send to me.

I really hope your not charging $50. There's no profit in that.
