At least 2k you have to pay for your equipment that just saved you x amount of man hours

When my crew gives leaves back to the woods we call it, "giving back to nature" .. we, mainly I, also makes sure piles aren't really visible and it looks "natural" lol

Yes love this I find it’s easiest to “hide” make it look natural is have one entry point for leaves . And don’t disturb the woods line as a whole .

I recently retired and told everyone I was going to buy a ride on leaf blower, got it last month and I love it. I have two elderly neighbors and I’ve always have done their yards also, now it’s a lot more fun. Used to push around a little wonder that was a pain in the butt with hills. I enjoy your videos.

Nice!

Man that P2000 is an absolute beast! I can see why it allowed you to take on such a large site like this for leaf cleanup. Watching leaf cleanup is so satisfying. Honestly, being a part of leaf cleanup is also satisfying too!

I bought the fb3000 this spring at last years cash price and im glad i did. We used it to move twigs and clean yards this spring and I had a pile about 5’ high today working the church and cemetery combo I have. That property took two days last year and we had to make some piles and pick leaves up. Today we picked up a small pile up front and blew everything to the woods in the back today. I am very happy with that blower. We made 4 visits to our top 4 customers last month compared to 2 last year. Oh yeah, 4 rain days, didnt work one Saturday and still broke the goal number!

That blower unit is one nice pice of equipment. Thanks for the video.

good luck. amazing !

Totally agree with not taking any leaves off site! that is a huge profit killer because it takes time to load them up and then you still have to pay a dumping fee often times. I used to collect the leaves but it was nothing but a pain. A few years ago I had enough and stopped and now I still change the same price as if I would bag them but don't have a single leaf in the back of my truck at the end of the day. Profit has gone up big time.

It's been so nice doing leaves with weather in the 60's. Usually it's in the low 40's for high by this point

Been watching you for awhile, decided I was gonna get a landscape pro trailer this year and couldn’t get any dealer near me to get one, so decided to call Sue Kelley and she had no problem ordering me a trailer in January and I had it in May. They even had delivered all the way to MA where I live. Funny thing was because I used Sheffield, they required a signature in person so I ended up flying from MA to MI just to sign the papers then spent the day in Detroit before flying home. It was a neat experience that I won’t ever forget. Sue and her team made it happen for me.

Great video

Pricing is spot on. I watch your videos often although I never comment. I'm based in the Northeast which is such a different environment than y'alls. I can't believe you never pick up clippings for mowing, it's essentially a requirement in my area. Anyway, our goal is a minimum of $500/man per day for cleanups excluding the dumping fees. The point is, in my opinion you're pricing that job perfectly.

I worked at a shopping center cleaning the lot and we always had a problem with leaves in the fall. One strong wind and alot of those leaves will be back where they where before. So pick up your leaves or chop them up with a leaf vac.

Good video…killing it

I've been out on my Ferris FB2000 stand on blower the last week. I'd be lost without it. Sure makes the job faster

Excelente 👍🏆

Nice machine tho and two blowers too love it Brian

Should have picked up the blower attachment for the Multiforce as well. Could have had 2 stand-ons running.

I would've loved to have a riding one like that back i the day....

What blower do you prefer for these clean ups ? Echo work best with big jobs IMO

Be cool to see that blower vs the scag windstorm side by side like you did with the backpack blowers a few years back. At least around here, every time I turn around it seems like someone else has a new windstorm.

Windstorm has way more power not only that but other features that make it easier to use but for a budget option this honestly makes sense doesn't cost a lot more than a large walk behind unit. I think if you had more jobs like this the added benefits and extra 5 grand for the scag would make more sense

We use a hurricane daily. I love it

Right around $2,000. My goal this winter will be to retrofit our Buffalo Turbine to the front of one of our Steiners. I miss having that for fall cleanups. It’s probably 3X more powerful than our X3’s.

It would have been nice to see the U mount beside the ride on for a pro and con comparison. Might help someone on their next purchase

Couldn't see the model but mine is a 2019 z3000 and it is so refreshing to see they put the battery up front now. Mine is behind the tire in a compartment and you have to take the tire off to get the battery out :(. Such a bad design lol.

Great video, how would you’ve price It if you were to take away the leaves ? Per truck load and how much ?

I noticed you got a headache rack on your new truck. Any special reason for it? Or know of any place to get a custom one made so I can put company name and possibly logo? Loved the video. Definitely wouldn't have done with anything less then the p2000

That was a massive job guy’s. Job well done! 👍🏾 The property looked spectacular, with the equipment y’all used. It was also done in a timely manner.💯❤️👍🏾😀🙋🏽‍♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

Keep that cold over there. I'll take these tornadoes Thursday and Friday lol

Wow a Billy goat way to come outta the 80s bro was running g one of those 30 years ago

Its brisk 77 here in the Atlanta area

I don't have a stand on blower. I would have put 4 guys in the bed of the truck with ECHO 9010Ts on. 2 guys on each side blowing as I drive down through there. Hit both sides at the same time and save some man hours.

Damn, thank you. I do major leaf cleanups, all of it on my own property. Was considering offering my services to others. The driveways here are long & rural. Why not an hourly rate? So that the custy only pays for what they get?

Kid down the street from me would have taken care of that for a crisp $20.

Hey man are you going to be picking up the new Redmax ebz 9000 backpack blower next week from weingartz

$1200 or so id like to get, depending if the hurricane is rented or not

How do u guys do billing do u invoice and get paid later to you charge up front ? What merchant service do u guys use I use stripe but definitely sucks waiting 3 days for Payouts. After our clients pay we bill in the rear and it’s definitely not working any advice newer business here .

Great job but didn't seem very efficient? Bet this would have gone faster with a leaf plow on a mower or quad. Build up the line with the Billy Goat, plow it out of the way with the leaf plow, then build again! ESPECIALLY, avoiding the bushes that were blown right into lol.

That job would’ve been 2500-3000 in mass. I also agree with others, a push blower and more backpacks, plus a leave plow would’ve been faster! I don’t think that stand on it that powerful?

I think you were kinda light on your price. Considering you didn't have to haul any leafs off which is wonderful in itself lol however you left some money on the table. I think you should've got atleast $300 more minimum. Just my humble opinion and what I charge. Keep on getting it man!

We would be around 1800 so believe you still did fine

Besides your set man hour how much extra should we be charging for bigger equipment other than back packs and maybe a push blower? This is always where I get frustrated. Are there other variables I should be considering? Besides PIA factor.

they need to design a flame thrower like that.blow all your leaves into a chain link fence & burn them without ever getting off your bum.

Loved the vid, but your stand-up Billy Goat blower doesn’t seem to put out even HALF of the CFM or velocity of a simple 13 hp blower.

@@BriansLawnMaintenance Glad you like it. I’ve unfortunately developed somewhat of a mania and a fetish toward blowers (I’ve got 4 now), perhaps in part because our house is surrounded by about 10 full-grown maple trees which bury us in leaves every October. I’ve still got a little 5.5hp walk-behind blower, but I’ve replaced it with a SKAG 13hp which is a solid upgrade. Today, now that our freakish Michigan snowstorm has melted and given us a well-deserved 52 degree day, I broke out my NEW 1024cfm backpack blower. I’ve always wanted a Billy Goat, but I’m sure their 13hp (393cc) probably moves the air similar to my SKAG 13hp. I guess I just wanted to be awesomely impressed. However, Billy Goat does have an 18hp walk behind … 🤔. haha
