Stumpgrinder business...

[Little Butch]

Saw a setup on here where he sits his grinder in the back of a 110 hicap. Looked the mutts!

I know of a hicap for sale too! Very tempting...

[Mountain man]

Oh no! Not a Land Rover!

Joking aside, remember you're doing this to make money, not to drive round "looking the mutts"

You can do both thats why I have a Mog

[Mountain man]

You have a Mog?

You've never mentioned it.

[Little Butch]

Very true! I am a bit of a landrover addict though!

Ford rangers seem to be pretty reliable though? As much as I love landrovers, I could see the repair bills eating into profits lol...

[skyhuck]

When you consider the lack of depreciation, Landrovers are pretty good move, even with repair costs.

[Little Butch]

That's true, I guess. Plus I know my way around a landrover...

So to just get an idea of startup costs. I'd need:

 

Vehicle

Plant trailer

Grinder guards

Boards

Clean up kit

 

Not sure if my liability insurance would cover it as is? Maybe have a word with them.

I'm not sure how it works business/tax wise as I'm a sole trader at the moment...

[skyhuck]

No reason you cannot remain a sole trader and just add stump grinding to your current services

[Little Butch]

True! It's just at the moment I've got a 'company name' but do no private jobs, pretty much all subbing for others.

 

Wanted to make sure I got the name/branding right!
