How do you like the Kubota hydraulic cooler? And where did you get that rear bumper with the winch?

I've delt with customers telling me that they had gotten a lower price before. And I wonder if the customer is lying just to get a better deal, or if the other contractor with a lower price even has insurance or does quality work. Maybe the other contractor is new and is trying to build his business and is offering lower prices just to get their name out there. Maybe the competitor isn't basing his price thinking of his or the company's future ie. rain delays, replacement of tools and equipment, maintenance, inflation. So when a customer tells me some other person quoted them a cheaper price, I say well I can't come down, this is what I charge for this kind of job and then I leave. I know what I'm worth. and will never lower that. The only discounts I give are military, senior citizen, repeat customer, and a discount on future jobs if the customer recommends me to a future customer and I get that job.

One thing to keep in mind...stating the obvious, but sometimes it's that simple. You work 4 days for 1k ea. I work 2 days for 2k ea. It's the same ammount of money, remember not everyone is your customer and the person that gets every job isn't pricing appropriately. You should focus on perfection and going the extra mile more then doing more hours for less, careful when discounting larger projects, the complaints you will receive will not come from your large jobs, they will come from the small quick jobs

good video. you are 100% correct. you get what you pay for. And yes your workers are a reflection of the boss. You know your worth so keep it up.

What length tilt trailer do you have? Do you feel like it’s enough for a skid/cutter m/grapple/plane?

No you don't get paid for travel time. Your first error is thinking that hourly is the way to bid a job

I'm able to do the job less than the competition because I don't have the overhead most guys do. So I'm able to transfer affordable work to the customer

Great job! Im learning from you. Tfs

It starts with debt how much do you have vs the other guy

Bro you really need to learn how to cut expenses and work on your own equipment. Those hydraulic lines can be reman for $100 to $150 and you can replace it yourself. Many operators think the need heavy equipment and feel like they need to bulldoze thru every job. I have light equipment and get the job done and at a good rate. I don't even have a big skidstreer. Finding the right attachments and being smart about using them. Having systems in place, finding ways and processes to work smarter. Learn to weld and turn wrenchs and buy used quality equipment. Don't overpay for warranties and services and give yourself a raise and open more opportunities for yourself by living within your lowest budget and not over spending or splurging thinking you deserve it because "you work so hard"

That $1k/day dude ain’t got leather seats and sunroof!

I'm thinking about starting a brush clearing business in Oregon. I'm about 30 miles east of Portland. I have a Takeuchi TB260 and I have been looking at mulching heads for it to clear some of my property. I'm also thinking about buying a skid steer because I need one for lots of things around my property, and if I bought a disk mucher for it I could do just about everything. I have my own business already so I have some free time to start up another business. Just not sure how much demand there is for this type of work and if it makes financial sense. I want to do it to make money, not play around. It gives me hope when I see videos like yours. I thought I might just start doing jobs with the excavator mulcher and see how it goes. I like your channel, I wish I was as articulate as you.

Hey brother, soon price cuts will be the new normal. 5 years from now it will be higher than it is now. Just make it through the dip that’s coming. Best wishes my man! By the way I’m seeing the same thing over here in Florence S.C.

Day rate in northeast most charge 2500-3000$ a day

These days contractors might be getting a little too comfortable tossing around fat margin quotes. Better be ready to sharpen pencils for when the good times end. Lots of your customers could soon be looking to spend less and will gladly accept prices from lower cost contractors. My advice would be to reduce debt and other overhead so you have room to better compete for tight budget business.

Did yall get demoted to the Sin bin

Valentine’s Day… Sounds like videos are a little late coming out lol JKJK! Looking great! 😂

How much are the teeth

Kind of turns me on

What does it do exactly?

Finally the machine that killed Squidward

Curious if you know if skids are geared to handle this for a long time?

Great job! Where are you located sir?

Great show bro, keep`em coming.

Thanks for remembering the CC, Adam. Nice project. Should be fun to see you work it.

Great video bro. keep them coming.

Hey Adam, sounds like a cool project for sure! I’m with you on what you said about doing jobs that look good at the end…

Great job. Looks a lot better. Thanks for sharing.

You got Instagram?

Foley!!!! I’m thinking somebody went to Buc’ee’s and Lamberts!!! 😂

Hello, i just wanted to ask how the Kubota is holding up for mulching? I heard they run hot more often and that the a/c dosnt cool very well in the summer. I would really appreciate any input or recommendations, im needing to make a decision soon on a machine. Thanks so much Randy Holmes.

Not sure how it works with live feeds, but making sure videos have CC is very helpful to those of us whose hearing is poor and understanding even worse. Thanks.

The upload quality in this live feed is GARBAGE!! 🙄

I can understand your frustration but don't let it get the best of you. There are two problems with your story, first the owner, second the other contractor. A good client is not going to start haggling price before you even get the job. That is a clear red flag in my book. Not getting the job is in your favor because these are the clients who will do their best to renegotiate after your finished. The other contractor is already on his way out of business he just doesn't know it yet. Too many contractors are not businessmen. The moment you hang your sign on the side of your truck you are a businessman in the contracting business. Its not the other way around. You said it best know your operating cost and stay with them. You can't go wrong. Great video!👍

You found D B Coopers landing site. 😂

Awesome

You should make a video of you doing estimates otp wit customers

Hmmmm. Interesting. The company that mulched under the power line at my place asked me if I wanted them to wrap up all the barb wire from an old fence that was there or said they could just mulch right over it. So I said go ahead and mulch it I guess. So they did. There was chopped up wire everywhere! Lol. So I wonder how they do it without having issues?

🤔 I hope it didn’t come down by itself, if it did, you may be mulching something a little more interesting. 😬

Country people do love leaving wire and fencing laying around. And always an old toilet in the wood line. Am I lying?

This is probably the same reason why the scrap yard doesn't take mattress springs they say it jams the shredder

What are the odds of that.

Looks good! Do a video when you clean that machine out.

DB cooper

So where is the person that used it. ???

Whyd you let that happen

I’m not sure if this was the ultimate culprit, but I just had to replace the bearings not 3 weeks after this issue! 😢

Ouch

Try catching barbed wire with a disc mulcher. It slings it around and shatters your side glass. You think you’re being shot at!! Replaced with Lexan. Won’t make that mistake again. 🙄
