    $600 was pretty cheap without knowing more about the job i suppose. Pretty flat ground with just a few decent sized trees was an easy job but its location would be a major price factor. If Andrew only had to drive a pretty short distance, that could also be considered in his price. If someone had to load up and drive an hour away , then it was not worth that. If he just had a few miles to drive, maybe it was an easy $600 for him to make. Not to mention the guy will call him back to do other jobs since he wasnt gouged by Andrew.

    I'm with you at $1,500. I left land work 17 years ago and we were $125 to haul equipment to the jobsite, then $75/hr for equipment time with 8hr minimum. So that would be a $725 day rate many years ago. Given the passage of time and everything has doubled since covid, I'd say a $1,500 day rate would honestly be low. At face value, that sounds like a lot to me as an individual who works hard for my paycheck. But as a business man who needs to turn a profit, this equipment isn't cheap to purchase & maintain. So, I'd bet $1,500 is actually a low day rate when you run the numbers.

    Great episode, Andrew! Consider establishing base daily rates for all of your equipment, transportation and labor. For example: Takeuchi $500; brush cutter $150; labor $300; transportation (truck, trailer, fuel) either mileage .75+ or a zone Like UPS $100, $150, $200. Look at rental rates from local equip and they always have a delivery fee, etc for comparison. Your $600 was about half of other comments and probably close to a tractor/brush hog rental and I doubt he could have buzzed down those cedar/junipers.

    Nice rig. We wanted to clear some land like that and we rented a Bobcat with a mulching head made by a company called Fecon. It was a drum style head with carbide inserts. The head was the width of the Bobcat and had 9 cutters mounted vertically with maybe 8 inserts per drum. It was a BEAST. The guy at the rental shop said that it's his best machine for clearing land because it throws the mulch straight down into the soil and continuously recuts until it's so small and lays on the ground. And it doesn't matter what size tree you hit. You just keep grinding at it until it's sawdust. Amazing piece of kit

I remember one night back in the day one of my trucks broke down so I jumped in a truck with a few tools on a rescue mission. Unfortunately my driver and I could not fix the problem and all we had was 5 yards of rope, but we got home quite quickly. A few days later I broke down and my driver turned up without tools and the same 5 yards of rope. His revenge was sweet, driving with a less than 5 yard gap at crazy speed. We got home safely and laughed about it for many years. Enjoy what you do and stay safe.

    Your right Andrew about using the space under the panels as a shed or any kind of space. We have tons of Solar Rooves, Car Ports, Sheds here in Arizona with all the sun we get. I would definitely grab a few panels and also make a battery array to store energy when the sun isn't out(or for an emergerncy). Would love to see you put your own system together on the channel.

    Solar Panels are what you need on the Mountain. 1 or 2 rows like he had would give you power. Cloudy days would be the only draw back.Seamed like a fairly easy set up and if you made them higher you could get a few things out of the weather. Throw some sides around how ever many and you'll have small sheds with power. Take a bit to recoup the costs, but offset the fuel for generators and it might make it reasonable. Would be way less costly than running a mainline for electricity, at least for now.

That mulcher is not going to last at that rate and it won't pay for itself. I would have left the larger caliper pines and price the job stating that. If there were above 5" or so caliper trees, those would get left or cost more to take out and stack up somewhere.

    Here in Twin Waters Queensland Australia, the government subsidies homeowners to have solar power installed, with either battery storage or feed back into the grid. Whatever excess power you generate and don’t use, is feed back to the grid and you get paid a set tariff. On our four bedroom home with four adults, our twenty four panels on a six kilowatt system has us around six hundred dollars per quarter in credit, definitely worth it.
