Renting Out My Kubota Skid-Steer Went Terribly Perfect

- Just another rental that worked out as planned! It's always nice when that happens but isn't how it always goes down! Rental is a Kubota 65 SVL-2 paired with the heavy built Jenkins Rock Grapple Bucket! Hope you decide to like, subscribe and visit the channel again!
Also, I really love how you actually post your prices on your website. That's one of the things that really grinds my gears, companies not posting prices and always making you call for the "price gouge of the day". That totally makes me NOT call and keep on looking for a more reputable company, one that's not afraid to post it's prices. Be real, be upfront. kodos to you.
Yep! The idea was to flip the traditional business model that has been around for years with all these big companies! We are in a time of instant gratification, instant info, and tech. If you make it hard for people, you loose business like crazy
If you ask me to call for price, I don't - I keep looking pretty much because I hate it so much it's out of spite!
Just got our first piece of equipment, 17G miniex, loving the videos! Rentals up in NW Ontario. Loving all the tips. 👍🏼😊🚜🌴😎
Appreciate you! Congrats!
Keep it up man! I've been watching your videos for a little while now, it's good inspiration to start me some side hustles. I really like the way you're branching out too. I have similar ambitions. For me, I live in a dense city and storage options are limited or at a premium, I found this out when we purchased an RV. Even finding a place to park my cans/trailer if I get into this business will be a challenge. I just have to keep looking for that spot.
Thanks man! Yea I really appreciate it! I post to hopefully inspire people to dig into industries of opportunity. Not necessarily dumpsters or real estate like myself. There is opportunity out there, you just have to keep digging!
if you get a snow pusher, you can get some parking lots for snow removal, so many options for work with one. Kubota has a bad design where dirt falls behind the arm and packs in, dont know if its that way on the newer ones but the older one I had was brutal.
I have noticed that in the old ones, I think they mitigated it a bit in the newer ones!
The brush cutter is definitely a much sought after attachment to have for the skid. I could see it being great for your personal use. For renting I think it might get destroyed pretty quick? Keep us updated
We will def find out! I hope to do most of the brush work myself!
get a good rental agreement, don't use rubber tracks for demo work, get on forums and find out how to bullet proof them the best as possible, get window protectors for when it is parked overnight along the street because kids are stupid and love to throw rocks, get some chains on the front of the cutter so anything getting shot out the front gets knocked down to the ground, get your self a hot power washer to help with maintenance, your cab gets dirty because you run it with the door open instead of closing the cab and using the a/c and heat. its designed to be a conditioned space and will help you cut down on the time to get it ready ,hope this helps
Good to know man. Any idea where to find a good rental agreement?
@@FrankJr-nt3hz I would ask for a copy of a rental agreement to some local shops.
you can cut grass with new blades but after using it with heavy brush the blades get very dull.
But I like your information about the rental of the skid steer.
I think your brave and smart to rent it t out and make money on it. Afraid money never makes money.
Scared money doesn't make money! Absolutely!
The thought of renting out my skid steer makes me nauseous. But then again maybe that’s why I’m not in the rental business. 😂 People treat machines like garbage.
Yep, it's definitely not for everyone! I don't see it as "my skid steer" as much anymore. It's just something I rent.
Totally understand it my friend it’s just so hard seeing such a beautiful new Kubota being fondled by strangers!
@OShackHennessy haha that's a good way to say it too. Some are more gentle with the foreplay than others
I am sooooo in the market for my own skid steer and need at minimum a mulcher and a bucket. What would you estimate my spend would be on a decent used piece of equipment? They seem so expensive, damn near as much if not more than a nice 1/2 ton truck!!
Look at em new man! 0% interest or 1% interest typically. Plus warranty. It's honestly worth it in the end. And I typically buy everything used when I can. They retain value soso long
@@rollingops I’m seeing $70k for bobcats 😮😮😮
If you plan to rent it out at all I'd avoid bobcat, I was told that by multtttiple rental guys.
@@AmericanAFDumpsters I'm hearing Cat, Takeuchi and Kubota are just the way to go if you plan to share the equipment. It's no Cadillac, but it's is basic and will take abuse
@@rollingops I have a Kubota dealer a few miles from the house…. That shiny shiny orange is oooohhhhh so tempting 😂
What’s your thoughts when buying equipment… buy fully loaded machine to help with resale when being replaced or base model to save on initial investment?
Base model 100%, it will still hold value. Last thing you want is all the bells, whistles, touch screens and feature a customer can break.
Few ?s.
1. Do you have insurance and how much is it more less and who?
2. Can you finance a machine and use/rent it out ?
3. I live in Texas more less what you charge for mini x and skid per day so I can get a ball park figure
1:58 was a little intense for a RUclips video - there are CHILDREN on here! Haha
Hahaha I knew someone would like that part
@@rollingops lol, that's why you get that explicit spam
That's his new side hustle! ASMR cleaning videos! People will pay! 😂
Man I would love to have a skid steer My uncle's in them have one that I can use but I just kind of want one for myself but I don't have a need for it yet
You make a need for them once you have one, trust me!
What tracker do you use for your equipment?
Galaxy and apple trackers
How has your rental business been on the skid steer and excavator? Would you do it again? I’m kicking it around down here in SC.
I'm still figuring it out, but yea, just like dumpsters it didn't take off right away, do I'm definitely pushing it harder this year. But the amount of work I got done without needing to rent a machine was incredible
Hay bud. You mentioned something about wanting feedback on brush clearing. Go check out V-belt and son Chanel. That’s mostly all he does. Based in California. Lots of fire break prevention type work. Skid steer and mulching equipment. Ok.
Oh awesome! I'll check it out then! Thanks
@@rollingops no worries. Your welcome.
Keep it up 👍
Thanks!
Hey who do you go through for your rental liability insurance?
Do you have a rental agreement for your skid rentals? Something that covers liability / etc. I would want to be covered!
Absolutely 💯
Hey bro love the channel. I've purchased a mini excavator to rent it out. Can you guide me to a contract to present to my customers?
I love your videos they are entertaining and fun to watch hope you keep making more! I was wondering do you charge people a flat rate like $350 a day with no hidden fees or are there other fees? What do you recommend your viewers to use to keep their clients card on file and be able to charge them? I remember seeing in one of your videos you use something like google drive and make folders with your clients name then put all their documents like credit card info, driver license. and contract. How do you go about charging them if your not allowed to store their CVV though you have an authorization form signed by them?
I use Square to take credit cards, and it stores any information appropriately if you need to charge again! Take a look at my site for pricing rollingops.com. I use Google drive to signed rental equipment contracts, but not dumpsters.
By the way Clayton I looked on your website to check it out you are way too cheap on the rental for the brushmower attachment. I had too rent one for my Bobcat loader because mine broke and they are $320 A-day in my area Additional for the attachment.
Oh wowza! I'll look at it, I literally just posted it on there today! It's actually not suppose to be live, I put it there as a placeholder. Thanks for letting me know!
@rollingops Can you send me the link or the correct name of the Trackers you use so i can purchase for my equipment?
What type of insurance is required or needed on the equipment?
Rental insurance, there are only a few companies that will do it
Clayton are you charging people additional for the Fuel usage or are you just including that in the equipment rental ? For brush clearance work I usually charge by the job. I try not to charge by the hour because It is a set rate and the customer agrees to the final price and it's on a signed contract. The problem I had if I charged by the hour people would complain if if I Took longer than they thought it would And think that I was trying to stretch out the job to make more money And the other problem if I got it done quicker than II thought I would I didn't make enough money to justify going out there for 1 or 2 hours. On government work Most of that was bid by the acre With a minimum charge per site Location or straight bid per location site.
Dude! Love this comment! Thank you for the insight on bidding. You are reinforcing my existing thoughts! I have in my contract that we follow up with a charge for fuel use!
What size is your trailer
14 ft bins
Tilt deck is 23 ft long
OK so I'm looking into renting out my equipment, how do I go about getting all the paperwork and contracts set up? I don't have the knowledge of that stuff do I need to hire a professional or attorney?
Hey, great videos, what is your rental rates, do you also do weekly and monthly rates?
Take a look at rollingops.com! Thanks for watching
Could you please help me with some info on who can handle payment processing or website to handle rentals
Also how to handle total loss/ damage/ theft ect do you use insurance or written agreement and where I how I can write up a written agreement ect thanks
If it makes sense(cents) it makes $.
I like that!
What insurance company do you run your rental business through?
Your enthusiasm for the business and craft is infectious. Earned a sub. 🤙🏻🫡
Hey man I love your videos! What's a good way to message you privately? I have a few questions about the rental business as a whole and would greatly appreciate some feedback!
First take that @connorward
Pure crap Kyle. You can't beat me
Got em
