Renting a stump grinder VS paying Someone
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2023
- If you consider the cost of renting a stump grinder, safety gear and all other tools needed for this kind of project, along with time spent, you're better off hiring a stump grinding business to come and do the job right the first time.Renting a stump grinder can be a good option if you’re comfortable with operating machinery and have some DIY skills. Stump grinders are powerful tools that can quickly grind a stump down to below ground level. Rental costs vary, but you can generally expect to pay around $150 to $400 per day, depending on the size of the machine.

I've rolled up on many jobs with my lil 252 and I tell them price then they ask when I can do it. I tell them right now and the customer is shocked lol. They cant believe that I was gonna take care of them right then and there. They always jump right on it. It's always a great idea to take your grinder with you if you are ready to work right then. Customers feel like they are a priority and they will be happy.
@Brockwell72, yes, sir!! That stuff you just learn from doing the job over time. Thanks for watching!! Keep grinding!
Great points as always
Thanks for listening
I like your videos . I started making a few but I actually use your videos as a reference on how I need to improve. Nice videos.
Thanks for watching! What is your channel name??
Good video and points. Learned alot from your videos. I bought an older 252 a couple months ago and have been grinding as a side gig since my main job is 3rd shift. Really enjoy the work. Lots and lots of competition in our area though so jobs are scarce but have a blast when I get some lined up. First job was x25 30"+ Beech stumps....that was a workout. Lol. Good pay though. Keep up the good work, look forward to watching your videos. Dan
@danwing6016, thanks for watching!! It has served me and my family well. Just keep grinding it take off over time.
I dont do stump grinding, but alot of these principles still apply to many lines of work. Thanks for sharing. What an awesome machine you have.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good job, keep on grinding!
Appreciate it
Good pointers!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching sir!!!
Thanks for the video.
Quick question- if you offer to do it on the spot how do you handle the risk of underground utilities?
My advice is, if you can afford it , is to rent a rayco just like in the video. I did twenty years in the parks service and used a machine just like yours. It was always a blast driving around destroying stumps.
@wadebarber6493, your right I love stump grinding also. It's been a great living doing tree work and stump grinding. Thanks for watching sir!!!!
Yea Chris in my area I see people with brad new stump grinders especially the ones with remotes they hardly gonna make but nothing
@felicianoleal4358, I'm getting that in my area also. We are getting more storms this year than last year. Thanks for watching friend!! Keep grinding!
I would have to disagree regarding at least one point. even if your stump grinder is paid for you still have additional costs other than teeth and gas. you need to be saving up for a replacement stump grinder. if you're not setting aside money for a replacement machine then you will eventually go bankrupt.
@penguinistas, I just thought everybody did that. These machine rattle and shack and under pressure so much you have to set aside some money for repairs. Thanks for watching!
Agree. Wear on your machine. Grease is expensive now.
I would probably charge $375 here in NY. I really need to buy a grinder. I only do jobs when and if I can stack enough, making it worth renting.
@hilldweller8610, you are doing it the smart way doing it like that. Just line up a lot of jobs at once to make it worth it. Thanks for watching!!! Keep grinding
Been grinding for a long time now. There is hardly any work because everybody has bought a stump grinder now thinking it’s the next best thing probably because of videos like this. Good luck to all.
Right on
$350 to rent for the day? That's too much...unless they are giving one as big as yours.
I made this mistake on my first job. This lady wanted the tree cut down and ground for under $1,000. I would have had $450 just in the stump grinding. At the end of the day she had another guy come do it who owned a stump grinder when I didn’t but the reality is most people are cheap and don’t understand. I would have done the tree for $900 which was a steal but she wanted both done at the same time. Understandable but I lost that job.
Sales pitch is you dont have to risk your life and limbs to get that stump out....price becomes real cheap then
I would think this is a job for a huge excavator and a dump truck. (with a thumb on it's bucket) The stump is already broken away from it's root system. Ron W4BIN
@W4BIN, it's really not in this case. If you pay someone it to dig it out it cost more. Plus, you have to fill the hole with dirt. Thanks for watching!!!
Hi Chris, I wanted to ask you, I have to quote a 20-stumps grinding job here in Avon, Connecticut a Richie section of Ct. what would a ballpark quote be? thanks joe PS just starting out.
Joe, it all depends on the sizes of the stumps and locations. I would not have a clue without more info. If it's a big job I price for the whole day and not for each stump. You price yourself out of a job really quick doing that way. Thanks for watching!!! Keep grinding!
I realize not everyone can,
... but for me, I'd have just taken a chainsaw and a few Saturday hours to be rid of that stump, rather than pay someone to do it.
The thing is, there are people who are completely capable, but just won't do such things in their own property,
There are people who will pay a company to come pick up their own dog's poop from their yard, rather than do it themselves 🤷
But, these are the best sort of people when you make your living off doing what they don't want to or can't.
$500 $450 with labor and gas 🤑🤑🤑
