All the haters in the comments telling him he did it wrong and did it with the wrong equipment and he's the one that got paid ten grand for four days of work which is more even after gasoline than most Americans make in two months of working forty hour weeks. How bout everyone be quiet and just be happy for his work ethic? Is that so hard? A young guy w his wife starting out getting his business going? Watch where he will be in ten years, you'll be working for him!
Thank you man I appreciate the support I feel as though a lot of people don’t really understand how hard our line of work really is but it is definitely rewarding God Bless you🙏🏾
Hey buddy, I just felt like I should tell you something... Never raise that brush hog up and then tilt it down so you can see the underside with the blades engaged; if there happens to be a stick caught under it, it can throw it towards you. I've done it a time or two but I stopped after I saw my friend do it. A stick came at him (about 100 mph), just barely grazed his side and stuck in the seat. It would have went right through him if it had been a few inches to the left. Also when you raise it up to come down on brush, always have the front tilted up, never have the front tilted down if your brush hog is in the air or it can throw stuff at you. Just wanted to tell you that, I would hate to see something bad happen to you! God Bless... 🙂
Idk if you know this or not but most rental places will rent grapples and stuff for pretty cheap. Also like someone else said, without having a polycarbonate door I wouldn’t raise that brush cutter above your knees and never tilt it down where you can see the blades.
And I would never run a brush cutter or muclcher in an open cab. That is nuts and as someone who clears land in an enclosed cab with a drum mulcher, there have been way too many pieces of debris that smack my windshield protecting me.
Hey man just getting into this. I bought my svl 75-3 and waiting on my trailer to be built in Tennessee. I live in south carolina. Have been using your videos to get myself trained up. Thanks for putting these on youtube it definitely lets me know how to get started! Also i am a Christian and one reason i subscribed to you is because you gave God the credit for your life, your values, and for your business. Salvation is the most important thing in the world. Glad to meet another brother in Christ. I will follow up with you once i get things started on my end!
I’m Glad you Found Christ and I’m happy to hear you starting your business your going to love it you get all the fun of being a trades man and you get the best job in the trades. (At least thats what I believe)
It is something to watch young ppl Get into a trade or start a business like this…… congrats young man! Stay true to your work and your name ….. and you will be quite successful cause everyone needs some mulching done 👏👏👏👏👏
I love that you give God the credit and tell your audience to repent and get right with Him. May He bless you in all your endeavors. You got a new subscriber here brother!
Welcome to the Family and I always have to give Glory to Our Father to show everyone what he has provided for me in my life and to show people when they keep there faith in him he will always come through no matter what.🙏🏾
Stay positive and keep working hard young man. I am glad I came across your channel. Nothing in life worth having comes easy. Stay grinding and keep the faith yougin' 🙏
The bees or wasps keep coming around because when you were initially stung, they left a hormonal marker in your body alerting the rest of the squad that you’re the target. I’ve been stung several times too. Once you’re marked, you can assume they’ll be attacking the entire day. Keep up the vids. Love & Blessings bro
If you don’t have a ballistic door, you need a helmet and face mask. Eventually your cutter will send chunks your direction. Best to get the right door and AC for Yellow Jackets and debris.
It won’t, however it will give you an opportunity to potentially survive the situation. Definitely not ideal but better than nothing. For those attachments and mulcher attachments you truly need skid-steers equipped with forestry packages. There are numerous safety add-ons equipped on those models, including one I didn’t think of prior, but a simple fire extinguisher due to heat build up with small shavings.
Dont let the haters deter you! If you have haters that means you are at least doing it right! Don’t ever be close minded and ask those that are far better than you for help or tips and before long you’ll be the best in the business!
I have about 14,000 hours doing exactly this kind of work. Mad props for getting after it and getting it done. I encourage you to get yourself a tractor with a full cab and a polycarbonate door.
Nice job. Highly suggest you get a protective door on that SVL with that cutter. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be here if I didn't have one on my machine as a ricochet of a branch left a 3" scar on my windshield. Be careful, good luck.
Don’t worry about the negative comments brother, you’re doing honest work with an expensive machine/ equipment. Love the content and love that you put god first . I’m thinking of buying my first machine , looking to spend about 25 grand to get started , any recommendations?
Man that brush cutter is impressive. I’m surprised what it will take down. Been watching your channel just bought a new dump trailer and a case TV 370. I always plan on getting the machine for my two properties I have but after watching you and some others, I’m gonna make a business out of it as well very exciting. I also have a countertop business which does very well but is a little slow right now. Anyway, I’ve been doing a lot of research on different attachments. Quite a few came with my new case, but again very impressed with what that brush cutter was able to take down!
That look’s pretty rough, you need to get a grapple, a nice bucket, and when possible get a forestry mulcher , and a flat bed trailer, keep going you will eventually get there
Not necessarily when you cutting brush you don’t need a Mulcher head I already have a flatbed trailer and a grapple isn’t needed clearly because I got the job down without one.
@@EntreprenuerDavis we do land clearing, we run a skid steer with a Fecon mulcher for around $300 a hour. We can clear a acre in under 10 hours. There will be no stumps and tree branches left on site. So the $10.000 for that job seems to be a bit high.
I'm just finding your site but reading the comments from maybe seasoned guys they may seem rough but I think that they're trying to help you out and make your job easier and look a hole lot better take it for what it is worth.
@@EntreprenuerDavisHello although many months later your video just popped up on my feed. Looking at your age and reading the constructive comments it might be wise to accept them from the experience people. Safety is always #1 priority. You don’t have to come back with comments like, “I did it w/o it”, “why a helmet”, “ I don’t need a ..”, etc for good sound advice that I am reading. Keep up the good work ethic as you listen and learn.
10K is quite high in my area but good job overall. I did a 1-acre property that I bought but used an excavator and chain saw. Took out all trees except 3. The property had tons of China Berry, Cedar, Yaupon Berry, Post Oak, Acacia, Gum Bumelia, Ash, a few Elms and Hackberry, and some Mesquite. I burned at least 60 tons of wood over 14 months ( just a guess ) and took out 2 dumpsters loads of pure trash, junk, etc...
Can you share how much you made on this job and how long it took to do it? I'm asking cuz I'm thinking I might like to get into this line of work. Did you have the option of using a mulcher instead of the brush mower? If so, why did you go with the brush mower?
Good video bro I highly recommend getting a grapple and a more heavy duty brush cutter and that makes it a lot more easier and possible a bigger dump trailer
@@EntreprenuerDavis a good brand is the RUT manufacturing brand they have RUclips video on there brush hog and mulcher, I currently have both attachment running on my John Deere 317g
They are the best and it so relaxing to sit in one and get some work done. I love it all though I wish I had the enclosed cab on my skid but I still love it
Got 20 acres with no trees, just shrubs to cut. Debating on if its worth renting/buying a skid steer to learn how to do it myself. Or just get quotes to see what it will take for someone else to do it.
@@DonteeWeaver considering you probably have to do every so often and you will probably be maintaining your land I would personally just buy a machine in the long run you’ll save a bunch of money because you don’t have to use someone or rent which essentially goes to nothing but someone else’s pocket
I think the ones telling him how to do it have the right equipment like a chipper for brush I give him my opinion cause I did that kind of work but a bigger base but had small jobs also just started watching 4:35
Good luck to you, you would be out of business pretty quick around here if you left property looking like that if he really paid you 10K. What you did was probably worth 2-3k. I'm sure you will get better with time; hope you make it. When I started, I looked at every job like it was my property and I was paying for it. You seem to have a great attitude just not much experience. And just a word of caution that is pretty dangerous with an open cab machine. I got stung 28 times after hitting a nest. I would never cut with an open cab again, 2 days in the hospital (about 8 hrs of it they didn't know if I would make it or not). Not trying to scare you but the danger is there.
Good job, young fella. You got it done and got paid. Can't take anything away from your accomplishment. However, your equipment isn't rated for forrestry work, which is what that job consisted of. Safety wise, it isnt advisable to not have an enclosed cab. Bees were the least of the danger. My stepfather's cousin was killed felling trees. He wasnt inexperienced either. Also if you had or rented a forrestry mulcher attachment for your skid steer you would have to haul anything away. It's all mulched up onsite.
@@EntreprenuerDavishahaha yeah he’s tripping I did the same shit with a tooth bucket and pallet forks no forestry mulched needed 😂 don’t mess with determination 👍🏻💪🏻
Might want to invest in a polycarbonate door. Could save ya some pain and money if something were to ever fly your way. Had a blade break one time and the broken piece of the blade went out the side of the brush cutter right through the steel, never did find it but it sure left a hole. I never cut without the door now
@@EntreprenuerDavis Tough decision, but on that 1 acre cleanup, you did, a grapple with the ability to back rake and do forward ripping would’ve been a great cleanup tool
Couple bits of feedback - you buy economy equipment you have to factor that into the work being performed, can't be using the low quality blade to grind up 3-6 inch saplings, you'll be breaking them all day long. One thing I do is buy the cheap unit but quality blades. Hydraulics are pretty much binary they work or they leak, but as you mentioned, steel can vary wildly in quality. Second, I like real sounds so I might suggest you forego the elevator music and just have the raw audio. I realize it's sped up video but you can play regular speed audio alongside it - yeah it won't quite match but you'll still be adding that realistic ambience, kind of ASMR style. Heck trim this video down but then have an alternate ASMR version where it's like 2 hours of interesting clips but the live audio track. Glad you're doing well there, good luck to you!
Skid steer for the brush trees! Then the Excavator for the big trees I suppose?? What city state was this in ? HOW MANY DAYS IT TOOK TO DO THIS ALSO? Answer every question please brotha
Not sure where y'all are located,I'm in Marion county Florida, I've been doing this for 30 your More, for heavy clearing trees and all $1500 a acre of I can burn if not hauling fees, for just underbrush work $800 a acre
In Central TX is about 3K p/acree for skidsteer mulcher, I can rent a trac-forestry mulcher for 3K per day with operator and 900 transport fee. Alternatives, backhoe which sucks due to time to put it in place , or acquire a big 4 ton or larger Excavator. Heck if I could have gotten a CAT318, I could have done my property and the next property in maybe 2-3 days and have a skidsteer come in to level it out.
Once you acquired your skid steer, was it tough to find work since there are so many people out there with skid steers? I’m in the Orlando area and they are everywhere. I want to get into the biz, just trying to make the initial void of income until I get my name out there make sense.
It’s as hard any other business but you really just have to really be looking for work and when you find what works for you and your business just attack it full force but to me its not very hard to find work now but it might be different for you.
Hey love the video looking to buy land estimating cost to clear a little over an acre. What get done with the tree stubs is that calculated in cost. Another question is leveling of land is that another cost?
Hey im located in New Orleans Louisiana, just purchased MT 100. Been doing some research on getting a business started with it. My question i want to ask is how to start looking for jobs

Great video, I’m just considering getting into this business. I asked a dealer and they said the mulched attachment is like $60000 what attachment did you run for this job and what’s the cost please? God bless
I definitely didn’t use a 60,000 attachment I used a brush cutter and it did a great job but this job was mostly brush. There are cheap option in the 22k-30k range for a Mulcher head that would do a great job you don’t need to spend 60,000 on one try feacon brand they usually will give you a better deal than that.
@@EntreprenuerDavis I appreciate it. I’m still scratching my head thinking on how to set everything up. I have a full time job so I’d have to finance this and get an operator cause I never used one. I hear they’re easy to learn. How do you suggest I get clients? Thanks
I see you said $10,000 for the job. How did you break that down? Just an hourly rate? Also it looks like your leaving a couple inches of the trees that took down. Is that typical or do you mulch those?
I was only using a brush cutter so if your using a brush cutter that is typical but if mulching you want to remove them and the 10,000 was because of mulching and cutting down many of tree by hand and taking them to the dump
Love your videos bro but you need to get a door on that machine even when brush cutting blow the window out of a skid steer last week first time in my life change my life to get a ballistic door no fun when a 4-inch piece comes flying in on you yes I was picking it up I'm setting it down on brush we all do things to get the job done it's nice to go home to your family though
Brotha no offense but that an operator error brush should not fly back into the cab of the skid steer with or without a door trust me I have been doing this for a while not and haven’t had any problems with that
Yeah I knew you were gonna get bit. Those are hornets and yellow jackets. They often build nests underground. When you're down south in thick areas the snakes and bees are a constant threat. Invest in a closed cabin.
Honestly be careful because people trash there machines and take them over there to see how much they can get for there machine that I did not take care of well or you can get lucky and get a good deal it’s a 50/50
Would it be worth it for someone like me that doesn’t own a skid, to rent one for a job like this? I’ve always wanted to start excavation, I’ve never had the capital to buy out-right, and I don’t want to finance one for my first job.
Thanks for your comment I will check out your videos as well because I love watching other people clear land and run skid loaders helps me sharpen my skills
I would be interested in how you priced this job. If you actually got $10k for that then you scored. Most importantly though is your safety. You should get a poly door for you machine especially since you're raising the deck up while cutting. Something bad will eventually happen and you will get hurt. Use some of that money to get a poly door. And eventually get a quality cutter, leave the Chinese stuff alone. That's positive feed back. Some people are saying there's too much negative comments but they haven't said anything about the danger you're in with no bulletproof door. Take Care.
@@EntreprenuerDavis I was given a job to clear 5 acres of land to prepare for commercial use is what I was told.. I checked it out today and it's mostly tall grass with brush and maybe 3 or 4 small trees to what I saw.. the land is almost leveled.. I'm hoping this goes easy for me, I rented a front loader from Kubota with an 8 foot mower... This is a first time job .. never done it before.. I'm excited and looking to make some money but it's more of the willingness to do it than the money... They own more land so that should work for me... I like your video... Looking for more in the future:)
@@IvanHernandez-wh8eq dang man congratulations that’s blessing from our father above 🙏🏾 I’m happy to hear that you took that step to start business and your closing pretty big jobs. Stay blessed man it’s only up from here!
@@EntreprenuerDavis I appreciate your honesty... I was surprised to be asked to do that job... I mowed half acre that sits near their car lot, I tried my best to stay busy no break only using an ECHO commercial grade string trimmer... String line is very thick and refilled 3 times... 3 & a half hours... They were surprised, the guys they hired before would take 2 days and 3 guys with many lunch breaks.. my investment was 1 gallon of fuel... I made $400... Which is not much but I ended up getting bigger jobs...
Did you return the brush cutter? I have two extra heavy duty blades. And the attachment that holds them that will fit your unit? So you made 10 K on this job?
I exchanged the brush cutter for a new brush cutter and yes I made $10,000 from this job. I eventually sold that brush cutter I exchanged for because of cheap quality make.
@@EntreprenuerDavis We were talking about licensing out there how does it work in Florida. It's probably not as bad as it is in California. They make you jump through hoops.
The dump fees you have to estimate how much it will cost you to dump and the skid you pretty much charge per day and estimate how many days it will take you to finish the job but I billed higher because he wanted large trees to be cut down and taken away aswell
How do you bid jobs like this? The bidding is the biggest thing from keeping me getting started in this business, I have no clue how to price these jobs and I want to win people’s business.
It all depends on what the customer wants done I usually do for mulching atleast 1500 per acre and for brush clearing I charge 1000 per acre I charged this much for this job because he wanted large trees removed as well but the most important thing you have to remember you have to charge prices according to your market and according to your business.
All business have different expenses which determines the price they can bid a job out but the base number that you should try to stay near to stay profitable are the numbers I listed above to cover if your machine goes down or something goes wrong and to make a handsome profit if everything goes to plan.
Great job! Love your commentary as you go along! Glad you were okay after getting stung!
Thank you for your concern I ended up finding out that those were yellow jackets and thank you for commenting

@@DonteeWeaver considering you probably have to do every so often and you will probably be maintaining your land I would personally just buy a machine in the long run you’ll save a bunch of money because you don’t have to use someone or rent which essentially goes to nothing but someone else’s pocket
Good job young man keep up the good work
Thank you I will
Great job looking good continue the great work your doing
Sorry about the bees 😮
Thank pops!
Great job!
I think the ones telling him how to do it have the right equipment like a chipper for brush I give him my opinion cause I did that kind of work but a bigger base but had small jobs also just started watching 4:35
Good luck to you, you would be out of business pretty quick around here if you left property looking like that if he really paid you 10K. What you did was probably worth 2-3k. I'm sure you will get better with time; hope you make it. When I started, I looked at every job like it was my property and I was paying for it. You seem to have a great attitude just not much experience. And just a word of caution that is pretty dangerous with an open cab machine. I got stung 28 times after hitting a nest. I would never cut with an open cab again, 2 days in the hospital (about 8 hrs of it they didn't know if I would make it or not). Not trying to scare you but the danger is there.
Good job, young fella. You got it done and got paid. Can't take anything away from your accomplishment. However, your equipment isn't rated for forrestry work, which is what that job consisted of. Safety wise, it isnt advisable to not have an enclosed cab. Bees were the least of the danger. My stepfather's cousin was killed felling trees. He wasnt inexperienced either. Also if you had or rented a forrestry mulcher attachment for your skid steer you would have to haul anything away. It's all mulched up onsite.
Yeah your exactly right I should upgrade my equipment for safety so I don’t end up killing myself by accident and I’m sorry for your loss man
Good job Davis!!!
Thank you
That looks like having fun and getting paid to do so! What was the owners purpose for you doing this? Building or just cleaning the area up?
You DEFINITELY NEED to rent a forestry mulcher to clear land
You definitely don’t because I got it done with this…
@@EntreprenuerDavisfr lolol
@@EntreprenuerDavishahaha yeah he’s tripping I did the same shit with a tooth bucket and pallet forks no forestry mulched needed 😂 don’t mess with determination 👍🏻💪🏻
@@tylerhowerton8518 exactly sometimes all you gotta do is just play your cards right 😂
Might want to invest in a polycarbonate door. Could save ya some pain and money if something were to ever fly your way. Had a blade break one time and the broken piece of the blade went out the side of the brush cutter right through the steel, never did find it but it sure left a hole. I never cut without the door now
I definitely want to invest in a door for sure been looking for a while for one
Way to go and get it done entrepreneually.
Thank you 🙏🏾
@@EntreprenuerDavis your welcome brother
Great work! Keep going !
Thanks man!
Did you get a grapple yet?
I like the looks of the quick attach quick grapple, appears to be able to do several functions beyond being just a grapple
I have not yet but quick attach is great I am stuck between the 4in1 bucket or grapple attachment what your thought on the 4in1?
@@EntreprenuerDavis
Tough decision, but on that 1 acre cleanup, you did, a grapple with the ability to back rake and do forward ripping would’ve been a great cleanup tool
Way to go, young man. I had to subscribe
Thank you man welcome to the family 😂

Couple bits of feedback - you buy economy equipment you have to factor that into the work being performed, can't be using the low quality blade to grind up 3-6 inch saplings, you'll be breaking them all day long. One thing I do is buy the cheap unit but quality blades. Hydraulics are pretty much binary they work or they leak, but as you mentioned, steel can vary wildly in quality.
Second, I like real sounds so I might suggest you forego the elevator music and just have the raw audio. I realize it's sped up video but you can play regular speed audio alongside it - yeah it won't quite match but you'll still be adding that realistic ambience, kind of ASMR style. Heck trim this video down but then have an alternate ASMR version where it's like 2 hours of interesting clips but the live audio track.
Glad you're doing well there, good luck to you!
The blades didn’t break the frame of the piece of equipment broke and I’ll keep everything else in mind for the future thank you for your comment.🙂
And thank you for the feedback I try to put everyone advice into my videos to improve them
Skid steer for the brush trees! Then the Excavator for the big trees I suppose?? What city state was this in ? HOW MANY DAYS IT TOOK TO DO THIS ALSO? Answer every question please brotha
I love this content!!
thank you!
Not sure where y'all are located,I'm in Marion county Florida, I've been doing this for 30 your More, for heavy clearing trees and all $1500 a acre of I can burn if not hauling fees, for just underbrush work $800 a acre
I’m in central Florida we will do the same if the county allow it and we are around the same prices when it comes to brush cutting and mulching
In Central TX is about 3K p/acree for skidsteer mulcher, I can rent a trac-forestry mulcher for 3K per day with operator and 900 transport fee.
Alternatives, backhoe which sucks due to time to put it in place , or acquire a big 4 ton or larger Excavator. Heck if I could have gotten a CAT318, I could have done my property and the next property in maybe 2-3 days and have a skidsteer come in to level it out.
forester mulcher please get attachments. love your show!
Once you acquired your skid steer, was it tough to find work since there are so many people out there with skid steers? I’m in the Orlando area and they are everywhere. I want to get into the biz, just trying to make the initial void of income until I get my name out there make sense.
It’s as hard any other business but you really just have to really be looking for work and when you find what works for you and your business just attack it full force but to me its not very hard to find work now but it might be different for you.
GREAT JOB!!!
Thank you 😊
In Arizona a lot of people get killed from unexpected hives.
Killed?!?😨
Hey love the video looking to buy land estimating cost to clear a little over an acre. What get done with the tree stubs is that calculated in cost. Another question is leveling of land is that another cost?
It all depends I would have to see the land in person
How would I start a business if I wanted to start one? How did you go about buying your equipment?
You go guys!
Thank you 🙏🏾
Next time rent a bobcat/skid steer with a front windshield and a_c. It keep bugs and animals out. And It less noisy. ❤️👍🏾👍🏾✅️😊
Its fhe ending for me 💯

Great video, I’m just considering getting into this business. I asked a dealer and they said the mulched attachment is like $60000 what attachment did you run for this job and what’s the cost please? God bless
I definitely didn’t use a 60,000 attachment I used a brush cutter and it did a great job but this job was mostly brush. There are cheap option in the 22k-30k range for a Mulcher head that would do a great job you don’t need to spend 60,000 on one try feacon brand they usually will give you a better deal than that.
@@EntreprenuerDavis I appreciate it. I’m still scratching my head thinking on how to set everything up. I have a full time job so I’d have to finance this and get an operator cause I never used one. I hear they’re easy to learn. How do you suggest I get clients? Thanks
Great content! Do you need for numbers to run your setup?
No you do Not DOT number for this setup only if you have a 1 ton truck
Bx in da building.much love family Black Power.bx🏆💜🌎🎬📺🎶📚📰🔥💯💣🎊✨️👑🌹🖤
Thanks!
I see you said $10,000 for the job. How did you break that down? Just an hourly rate? Also it looks like your leaving a couple inches of the trees that took down. Is that typical or do you mulch those?
I was only using a brush cutter so if your using a brush cutter that is typical but if mulching you want to remove them and the 10,000 was because of mulching and cutting down many of tree by hand and taking them to the dump
Love your videos bro but you need to get a door on that machine even when brush cutting blow the window out of a skid steer last week first time in my life change my life to get a ballistic door no fun when a 4-inch piece comes flying in on you yes I was picking it up I'm setting it down on brush we all do things to get the job done it's nice to go home to your family though
Brotha no offense but that an operator error brush should not fly back into the cab of the skid steer with or without a door trust me I have been doing this for a while not and haven’t had any problems with that
Yeah I knew you were gonna get bit. Those are hornets and yellow jackets. They often build nests underground. When you're down south in thick areas the snakes and bees are a constant threat. Invest in a closed cabin.
You need an enclosed cab when you're doing that kind of work
incredible!!! and yikes to getting stung!
Thank you and yeah those were yellow jackets so there sting hurt a little bit worst
@@EntreprenuerDavis ouch!!! hope u r all good now
Thank you!
Future knowledge for bee stings, with hazel takes the sting, itch and pain away.
Noted.
Thanks for the advice I will definitely be using it
How come we never hear the numbers on insurance or what you put away for maintenance?
Awesome job man, but your living life on the edge with no glass in there.
Yeah learned my lesson after making this video🤦🏾♂️
Good job
Thanks man!
Looks good bro just get you a fancy door so you don’t get impaled
Yeah I’ve been looking into getting one
Nice job
thank you
Thanks!
You need a poly door! Especially with that open front brush cutter…
It’s not needed necessarily with a brush cutter but I am working on trying to get one though
The bees follow heat fyi of the machine and always have bee spray on every job you do like that
Hi David, what are your thoughts on a mini excavator bought at an auction?
Honestly be careful because people trash there machines and take them over there to see how much they can get for there machine that I did not take care of well or you can get lucky and get a good deal it’s a 50/50
@@EntreprenuerDavis Thanks Davis! Sorry I wrote David earlier (typo). Keep up your excellent videos!
Would it be worth it for someone like me that doesn’t own a skid, to rent one for a job like this? I’ve always wanted to start excavation, I’ve never had the capital to buy out-right, and I don’t want to finance one for my first job.
Yes that what your suppose to do until you get your own machine that’s what I did for a while
Hey man, I just ran across your channel very good content - I do a lot of the same thing on my channel
Thanks for your comment I will check out your videos as well because I love watching other people clear land and run skid loaders helps me sharpen my skills
👍👍
I would be interested in how you priced this job. If you actually got $10k for that then you scored.
Most importantly though is your safety. You should get a poly door for you machine especially since you're raising the deck up while cutting. Something bad will eventually happen and you will get hurt. Use some of that money to get a poly door. And eventually get a quality cutter, leave the Chinese stuff alone.
That's positive feed back. Some people are saying there's too much negative comments but they haven't said anything about the danger you're in with no bulletproof door.
Take Care.
Good job... Gives me an idea to clear 5 acres
You should and it’s very rewarding clearing land atleast I love it
@@EntreprenuerDavis I was given a job to clear 5 acres of land to prepare for commercial use is what I was told.. I checked it out today and it's mostly tall grass with brush and maybe 3 or 4 small trees to what I saw.. the land is almost leveled.. I'm hoping this goes easy for me, I rented a front loader from Kubota with an 8 foot mower... This is a first time job .. never done it before.. I'm excited and looking to make some money but it's more of the willingness to do it than the money... They own more land so that should work for me... I like your video... Looking for more in the future:)
@@IvanHernandez-wh8eq dang man congratulations that’s blessing from our father above 🙏🏾 I’m happy to hear that you took that step to start business and your closing pretty big jobs. Stay blessed man it’s only up from here!
@@EntreprenuerDavis I appreciate your honesty... I was surprised to be asked to do that job... I mowed half acre that sits near their car lot, I tried my best to stay busy no break only using an ECHO commercial grade string trimmer... String line is very thick and refilled 3 times... 3 & a half hours... They were surprised, the guys they hired before would take 2 days and 3 guys with many lunch breaks.. my investment was 1 gallon of fuel... I made $400... Which is not much but I ended up getting bigger jobs...
@@EntreprenuerDavis it's turning out a bit tough... Miss understandings with rental company and client but hopefully Im done tomorrow
Did you return the brush cutter? I have two extra heavy duty blades. And the attachment that holds them that will fit your unit? So you made 10 K on this job?
I exchanged the brush cutter for a new brush cutter and yes I made $10,000 from this job. I eventually sold that brush cutter I exchanged for because of cheap quality make.
@@EntreprenuerDavis was this a $10,000 job that wasn't paid?
@@EntreprenuerDavis We were talking about licensing out there how does it work in Florida. It's probably not as bad as it is in California. They make you jump through hoops.
@@gunnerranch honestly it actually is the video of that job.
@@gunnerranch good observation skills
Nice video🔥🔥
Thanks 🔥
Cool video! How long did it take to do this job ?
It took me 4 days total to do this job.
Dont never tell people how much money you making cause they will burn the market up. It never fails
Agreed but if there under 10k that’s no big deal for 1 acre I had to take down trees that why I was so expensive
Keep up the good work i do the same work in florida.
@@RsPropertySolution thank you man I will hope the same for your business.
How did you bill? 10k for skid and extra for dump fee?
The dump fees you have to estimate how much it will cost you to dump and the skid you pretty much charge per day and estimate how many days it will take you to finish the job but I billed higher because he wanted large trees to be cut down and taken away aswell
Around the East Texas area a skidsteer with a forestry mulcher runs $200 an hour.
@@jasongrinnell1986150$ in ok
Get after it big dog
Definitely were ground hornets........I just ran into some a week ago
You really should be in a enclosed cab. Those blades can throw a wooden spear right in there with you.
How do you bid jobs like this? The bidding is the biggest thing from keeping me getting started in this business, I have no clue how to price these jobs and I want to win people’s business.
It all depends on what the customer wants done I usually do for mulching atleast 1500 per acre and for brush clearing I charge 1000 per acre I charged this much for this job because he wanted large trees removed as well but the most important thing you have to remember you have to charge prices according to your market and according to your business.
All business have different expenses which determines the price they can bid a job out but the base number that you should try to stay near to stay profitable are the numbers I listed above to cover if your machine goes down or something goes wrong and to make a handsome profit if everything goes to plan.
