Stumpgrinder business...

Recommended Posts

I'm currently self employed subbing for somebody often and occasionally other people but am toying with the idea of buying a grinder and trying to push that side of things as my own.

 

Just trying to figure out numbers.

 

What would you say is the average cost of something like a predator 28x per day with and without a man? Am I far wrong in thinking £150 and £450 a day?

 

Also would you suggest a van with it in the back or a pickup and grinder on the trailer?

 

Just trying to see if I can make it work...

 

Cheers! :001_smile:

It all depends on whether you price to take away arisings, if you can "get away with" leaving them on site, so much the better. But a lot of householders won't stand for a meter high pile of grindings where their stump was, kind of defeats the object.

Vehicle wise a 3.5 tonne tipper is going to be your best mate as far as money making is concerned in the tree game.

(At least in the beginning before anyone kicks off!)
