Very nice setup! I am starting my own excavation business as well, I have a 2000 F250 with the 7.3 as well. Have you done any modifications or upgrades to your 7.3 to help it handle the heavy hauling better. I know they are a very dependable engine. I've considered upgrading my transmission oil cooler to a larger one to help it run cooler with all the hauling.

After 6 years in law enforcement, I think I'm going to get into a similar business. I grew up on a ranch and ran tractors, skids, and excavators a lot. I'm so tired of law enforcement, I really am. It's making my life miserable, and I hate going to work everyday.

Then get as much money together as you can and either finance a nice machine or start with a cheap machine. I would defiantly say skip the cheap machine and get a nice one and a nice Mulcher and trailer and truck and start working. You can offer other services besides mulching

Watched the two videos you have posted. Very good information. Looking into getting into this type of business in the next few years. Love doing work with skid steers and mulching type work. I work for a big company that maintains power line right of ways and love it. I run the big trimmers. Ran a klearway 500 with a big 10 foot mulcher some also. Started out in a tl12v2 with a FAE drum mulcher and worked my way up to the trimmer. Hope to see some mor videos you may post in the future.

I have been farming hay for a few years with a buddy of mine. I have an old new Holland ls180 skid steer. Going the the thought process of maybe starting a business reclaiming fields that have been left unattended for a while. Stuff that has gotten to big for a tractor and brush hog. I have a dodge diesel with a 6sp paid for. Wanting to trade in my skid steer, sell an extra car, nice tri-z 3 wheeler. Just some things to put money on my pocket. Using assets to get the money to put up for equipment instead of going so deep in debt. Wondering what would be adequate for a skid steer and type of mulcher or cutter. A lot of munchers are 30k and I don’t have those kinds of funds. Ive been working for an excavation company since covid killed my last job. Thinking of working weekends clearing farms around me to see if this is a possibility and if I can grow from that. Any advice would be great. Nice video.

Excellent heartfelt, straight forward video. Edit this down to about a minute or two, add some video of you running the cat, some video of you and your customers for “live” testimonials( nothing slick, just like you did this with your phone), put it on Facebook and direct everyone you know to it and you will be swamped with business. Your ability to effectively communicate and your honesty and desire to do good work will come through loud and clear to any prospective client that sees it. Unless that service body is fully used, replace it with a flatbed dump with both short and tall sideboards and you will be way more productive and make way more money with that rig. A one ton dump is one of the most underrated and over looked setups in excavating. Everybody thinks you need a 10-12 yard dump and sometimes you do, but a one ton gets in and out of tight spots, less capital expense, less maintenance, etc. Best of luck and success to you and your family.
