    I need to try this. Any of you stump grinders out there had any success from a show ?

    That snobbery you talk about, i have seen nothing of that in this trade. Rather the other way around. Arb trade have supplied me with down to earth honest fair genuine folks.

    they must be very large for that price. i done 25 quite large stumps, and was no where near that high price. for a 1000 one would think the job would take a day and a half to complete. I can price the job for you if you wish.

    After some underpricing in the beginning i now feel i got the pricing right for the stump grinding. Feels much better and it leave me time to make sure i do a good job. I have a girl helping me with the tidy up after, blower machine and rake and helping me moving the screens. I pay her very good, and she works like a super star. 50 for 4 hours, 100 for 8, 150 for 12, and 200 for above 12 hours. And more times then not it goes beyond the 12 hours.

    I'm getting so many jobs like the ones on the picture here, the side guards is just in the way on the stump grinders. I cut mine off and modified it so i can bolt them on and off. 5 minute job to dismantle and it means i can swing the arm very near the fence.

    Great videos as always Metsaman with all that gear on, day in day out for years i used to work like that felling trees beside power lines. It is hard work.
  17. Stefan Palokangas
    I agree with you, you are correct.

    I had a customer that complained about everything.. i put up with it but was starting to be annoyed, she walked to her hut and brings out an electric black and decker tool and says its better compared to the one i use. I was doing a very high hedge and had en stihl extended hedge cutter. I packed up my tools and left. Some customers you can't please no matter how hard you try, they will find something.

    There must be room in the prices to expand if it isn't then there is no point. So from now i will charge the money that is needed to. If i end up loosing out in jobs then so be it. This forum have been of great help to be able for me to get things right.

    The prices must be realistic, to keep a grinder going is quite expensive, even the fuel cost in a days work is quite high. I was thinking 290 a while back as a daily rate, now i see how out of order that really is. I do think a realistic number for a full days work with a 38hp machine will be nearer the 650.
  21. Stefan Palokangas
    I'm not alone !
  22. Stefan Palokangas
    The prices will be realistic from now on.
  23. Stefan Palokangas
    Says it's sold out, that thing seems very handy
  24. Stefan Palokangas
    Yes you are correct... I will work hard to get my weakness sorted out, honestly i'm thinking like this... Well this customer have a work and she is meeting this and that amount of people and she will leave word of me, and that will lead to this and that, and the common sense person in the house hold says, she/he will say she paid this and that so next will expect same payment so you get yourself in to underpriced routine. I feel things is starting to kick off so i must get myself sorted out.

    When clearing power lines in Sweden we walked in to aggressive bees that lives in the ground alot of times, they go in to your cloth and you end up undressing jumping dancing shouting in your underwear. If you go with a clearing saw and take away the small growth below big power lines you wont notice them till its to late. And then you are sorry !
