    That tractor and stump grinder combo seems to work really well. I like it!

    I don’t care what side your binders are on, but you should have 4 points of attachment on your machine. If your chain breaks, you’ve lost all attachment on that end of your equipment.
    That said, I enjoyed your video. Thanks for the content.

    I have been doing tractor 🚜 jobs for nearly 15 years, my number 1 attachment by far is a brush hog, you just have to stick to your pricing , you will go broke if you work too cheap

    Great explanation of what actual costs are and like you said, once you've done these calculations a few times it you will know it off the top of your head. I looked into starting a forestry mulching business and the minimum job would be $1000+. Anything less was not worth the time. I'd add that cleaning your machine, loading it and unloading it are all part of the job. That's a hour right there. Unless you are fortunate to be able to leave your rig hooked up and just tow and go. Oh and what you said about having a guy that will show up is HUGE. I tried to have my house painted and had 4 contractors tell me they were going to show up for a quote, none came. I got pissed off and bought a $400 sprayer and did my entire house in a few days. I finally got quotes and it was over $10k+

    Here's a tip. start at the side and work into the stump. not top down. you want to grind with the grain you are grinding against the grain. like trying to sand the end grain of a board vs. sanding with the grain. I've done hundreds of stumps, trust me try it.

    • @TonysTractorAdventure
      @TonysTractorAdventure  7 месяцев назад +2

      I talked about moving to the edge in the video. I normally use it on another tractor. I had to learn my angles from this seat. Each tractor is a little bit different. I actually prefer using my little 25 horsepower tractor because I can see so clearly. The t474 is obviously stronger, but it's harder to see implements. I would say we are up into the hundreds of stumps as well. It is a satisfying experience.

      Please post a video and tag me so I can see what you mean. He was going in from the front side and moving back. Looked like it worked pretty well. Im being serious, I'm thinking of doing this after I get my stumps done here and there and don't wanna ruin my grinder or 3 pt.

    • @GozonTheGonsarian
      @GozonTheGonsarian Месяц назад

      @@JRsVsO I've ground hundreds of stumps so I have a little experience. You want the teeth to be running parallel to the tree fibers so the fibers pull out instead of being cut off. It will work either way it's just faster if done right. I don't have videos but I'm sure you can find some videos of professionals doing it the right way on here. When I grind I start about a foot away form the wood you want to start getting the roots first. hope this helps

  • @drozcompany4132
    @drozcompany4132 7 месяцев назад +4

    Keep in mind there are lots of folks that have implements and do services for people at cut-rate pricing just because they like doing it, or to put gas in their machine. Not all your competition is going to be from businesses. That's why there's that guy that will bushhog your field for $100. He doesn't care about the wear. He probably doesn't use the machine a lot on his property, so he does other jobs for seat time, or other reasons, but he's not trying to make money as a business. Usually they have a full-time job doing something else and do this in their spare time. Yeah, it sucks to compete with them, as some customers are just looking for a cheap deal, but they don't last usually.

      Valid point, I don't think there's enough of those to be real competition.

    FYI that premixed 2 stroke fuel is some of the worse fuel to run in your small engines. Lots of videos on this topic.

    When cutting off big stumps with a saw plunge cut in to center then go around the stump with the top of bar. It will pile wood chips inside and never pinch the saw.
