Your a gentleman and a scholar, i work fulltime at a powerplant as a utilities mechanic and although there is a lot of overtime which is great i would feel more engaged and happier getting my own thing going as a side hustle. Your vids have helped me.
Wow, thanks
Really glad I found this channel. Thanks for the shout out for the sticker in the video. I’m a patrol Sergeant for our local Sheriff’s Office. I’ve always believed you lead from the front. I don’t ask my guys/girls to do something I won’t do. Just over 7 yrs. left so hopefully I’ll get a part time stump grinding business going so I can make it full time when I retire. Thanks again.
You made my day brother
Hi you doing im in Connecticut I charge $85 minimum I do the same thing when I quote i always bring my machine i dont charge by the inch ive been stumping for awhile i know what area are rocky or ledge and which areas are sandy and i also charge alittle more then the stump guys around here i go wider and get the root flare and the mound to make level alot of guys around here just get stump i work for a couple of trees services Monday through Friday and weekends i work for myself
Thank you!!
This video is perfect.
I'm an arborist full time, but an incredibly lucrative client whom I removed about 15 smaller oak trees requested I come grind some stumps from trees they had removed several years ago prior to even meeting me. I have a reserved hydraulic vermeer for the job.
I took a shot in the dark and asked $600, which was the $200/day rental cost and $60/ea stump, which I see now may've been a little low since the stumps were nearly flush to the ground, but about 36" diameter. I wasn't super far off at least!
Also... Our gas here in PA is $3.31, I go over to Ohio and pay $2.90 instead.
Another great video, thanks! Down here in Montreal area, Canada, prices are about 10$CAD per inch. Around the city, prices drops as you are going out of the metropolitan area. By charging by inches, you make more money with small stumps, the bigger they are, at some point you need to adjust i.e. 5 feet silver maple with a lot of surrounding roots cannot be done for 600$ or you'll be loosing money. Cheers!!!
Thanks for sharing
Appreciate the tutelage. Thinking about starting something like this in FL after I retire from the Navy next year. Thanks again.
THANK YOU FOR YOU SERVICE
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb lost my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Ezra Joel Instablaster :)
You a solid guy!!! You a man of wisdom and God gone continue to bless you because you living right and you heart is pure!
Thanks for sharing. It's always helpful to learn what others are doing because everyone knows something you don't. Some of the stump grinders on FB can be pretty ugly to someone just wanting to ask a question. One youtuber had a useful nugget of wisdom. He believed that he should be getting about 50% of his bids and will adjust his price accordingly.
I bought a hand swing to add onto my mowing business but it’s mostly for my own use. I live in a rural area where many don’t care if they have some stumps in their yards but I try to get my mowing customers to get rid of stumps in their yard so I will use it for that too I hope. If things pick up and I think I could grind a fair amount of stump maybe I’ll get a used grinder like a Bandit SG-40 or maybe you have a good grinder, not a tow behind for someone starting out. Thanks for all the info. You rock. Oh and I want a ‘70 Mustang Mach 1 soo bad but my income right. Now just isn’t there right now. Maybe someday...
Thanks for your honesty and time, very few people would share their trade experiences!!
My pleasure!
Thank you for the info real helpful. 💯
great video like always. pricing is all over the place just in one city. and they all do a different stump grinding style. Thanks again and god bless you as well. We love your videos!
Adam ! You are such a genuine altruistic american citizen. Thank you for being you ! It warms my heart to know there are still great people in this world !! Also thanks for the great info!!
You made my day brother
I had to hand swing a 56" diameter stump it took me about 3 and a half hrs of non stop swinging. They wanted it as deep as we could get it
Oh when I was younger about mid 30's I did 3 40 inchers with a hand swing and I said no MASSSSSS
Thank you for your time and knowledge i just picked up my first stump grinder STX 26 and i am definitely subscribed and listening up Thank you Sir Carry on!
Awesome, thank you!
Interesting vid, gave me food for thought. I can say, I am on par with your cost, using my skid steer and grinder as needed.
Great video! Thank you! One of my biggest questions when I started was how to price. I love your heart brother!
Another great video! Thank you for sharing with us. We do appreciate your time and experiance. Grind on brother!
I appreciate it!
Great video has helped me a lot in figureing out what to charge thanks!!!
Glad it helped!
I know the contest is over but I love that bike. I've been looking for a 1992 Honda nighthawk so I could replicate that bike. I believe the front forks came off of a Yamaha r1 or an R6 can't remember. I love building bikes. maybe one day after a good little money saved up from grinding some stumps I'll be able to buy all my parts and find the bike. I wanted to say thank you for making the videos that you make they're really helpful and we need more people like you in this world.
You made my day brother
2/12/23 SOUTH LOUISIANA,NOLA.. DIESEL $4.35GAL. GAS $2.95GAL... BEEN DOING PART TIME GRINDING WITH A TORO HAND SWING... JUST BOUGHT A 252V SO HOPE I CAN GET BIGGER THIS SUMMER... THANKS FOR YOUR INFO SIR...
Thanks for the info brother, you are such a big help for me just getting into the game!
You made my day
Great video! I live in TULSA. I have a full time job and started my side hustle with yard business this summer. I've done well paid off my trailer and will pay off my commercial mower by years end. Next year is all profit but I will run winter clean out ads to keep the hustle going. I plan to start a stump grinding spring 2022 I will use lawncare business funds from 2021 to buy a stump grinder will start with the toro 26 or 36 if that is correct cant remember the exact number. Looking forward to expanding my small lawncare business by adding stump grinding. You've been a wealth of knowledge I frequently watch your videos. Thanks
Your already way ahead of the game
Just found you today and I live in east Oklahoma and getting ready to start a stump grinding business
I paid 3.84 for diesel yesterday and 3.35 for regular unleaded yesterday in west Michigan
Great video! Especially calling out those that won't work!
I started grinding a year ago, I got a pull type grinder, electric/ hydraulic, works great,, I'm looking to buy a small grinder like yours for tight urban access,, if you're interested in selling it when you retire that would be the time frame I'd be interested buying, (financial plan)
Sounds like I'm right on the money on the price thanks for your information I've been in the business for years and I'm running 2.75 an inch I'm in Florida
Raise it to $3 contractor and $3.50 residential trust me just that little raise will put alot of $ in your pocket
@@mustangrebuilder I will give this some thought for sure I love making money just like most people should 😂
You are so fair with your brother at the PTA Golf court price. Really good video brother 😊
You are a great guy. Thx for all your advise.
I appreciate that!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. God bless
Glad it was helpful!
Just started grinding for my company still in the process of figuring out my pricing. There's a few guys in my area ruining the business with their low pricing.
Really appreciate the advice.
Great tips on customer service👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Wish I had a good boss like you
God bless you brother. amen
That is 1200.00 for the day.
What a great video.. Very informative.
Thank you!
I think your reasonable and fair on pricing.
Can you please a video or an example video of how you measure trees in diameter inches. Thank You.
Jesus that 20K job sounds like a dream - I'd kill to be able to quote a job like that. That's 1/4 of my regular salary in a week!
Subscribed. Great content. I’m looking to start a small side job on my days off. What’s a good homeowner machine than can handle regular use before investing in a larger machine? Hurricane Laura took out a gazillion trees in my area and the amount of work is plentiful. Also, what are some of the main things to look at when purchasing a used machine? Thanks!
The oldest design machine out there still in production is the Vermeer 252 ,simple design but dont use vermeers teeth ,see if you can find one that is running green teeth or upgrade the machine to them www.greenteeth.com/ they have videos of that machine on their page ...you can find one for around 7k ... join a face book page called stump grinders
Great tips brother! Thanks for sharing
You bet!
I have a 60 horsepower compact tractor with 3-point Erksin stump grinder and takes me in an hour and a half just to load up and an hour and a half to unload and I as you said I can could go out unless I get $600 I have today at $1200 for the day and it doesn't matter if it's a six-ins grinder and you probably wouldn't be able to do it my tract is so big I can't just throw it around with me what your thought on that. And I always liked your videos and have been a blessing and thanks again God 2nd commandment love thy neighbor as they self
I am not skilled in the 3 point mounted units my friend but going to a farm equipment show today
Thank you for the info, I’m a full time firemen in SC, I’m looking at getting started on my own, one man show starting out and see how it grows, I’m looking at doing it on my 2 days off! What type machine do you recommend for starting out?
Thanks for all the videos
Used Vermeer 252 or depends how big the stumps are in your area ?
Love this. My two son’s just started with Rayco RG37T and trying to figure out how to price. So irrespective of cost per inch, how do you determine MINIMUM for a single stump and then add for additional stumps?
My min just to show up is $75 even if its a 6 inch stump ... now i mostly subcontract work but I normally charge $300 to $350 per hr machine hrs with my 50hp machines...
Great videos been checking them out.. have a question what the difference & how do they work definitely between straight, k & angled teeth & pockets on the stump grinder wheel? I just purchased a barreto sg30 stump grinder ..thank you
the straight teeth on most machines are your first cut into the wood and take the most wear and the angle teeth do your work from left to right
Love your videos no bs 👌🏾
Sir we live in Oklahoma as well!! Great videos, thanks for all the info.
Thanks for watching!
Are you planning on making that finance video? I’m always interested in learning what someone successful has done to get to where they are?
Thank You
Love your videos. I work as a tree climber for a small tree care company that does not stump grind and does not want to. I have been looking for side income and your inspiring me. I am thinking about getting a stump grinder. What grinder would you recommend as far as size? Generally our company does not so that many removals perhaps one a week.
Look for an older vermeer 252 and you can update the cutting teeth to this company www.greenteeth.com/
@@mustangrebuilder ok, I will. Thanks
Love your videos. They’ve been a lot of help as I’m just getting started. Question for you. How do you charge for surrounding roots?
a buck a foot to 2 bucks a foot
Thank u my friend
Thanks for the info
You bet
Thank you for this information! So I just quit my job and sold my house and looking for some new business ideas. I am a father of 4 small boys and considering getting into stump grinding as an income stream. Maybe they can help out down the road? Do you have a suggestion for what kind of grinder i should start out with? Also I plan on getting the book how to win freinds and influence people. I appreciate your honesty in your videos, very inspiring to me! 👍
What part of the USA are you in

Specifically Selma IN.
Hey man, thanks for this video! I just started a stump grinding business about a month ago and already have work rolling in, but I'm renting machines right now, which is a little bit tricky. I was curious what you found to be the best way to get some financing to own my own machine. Thanks!
Northern Atlantic JoAnn Cucciarre 1-800-710-4361 tell her Adams stump grinding referred you from Tulsa
You may have mentioned- what is a good starter machine?
Bob if you are just getting started and are good at fixing things an old vermeer 252 .... good for stumps 30 inch wide and smaller
Fantastic stuff, thanks for shooting straight. Got a question regarding hauling your rig to do a quote so you could do the job while your there - don't you have to do a utility locate first; or not in OK?
in my area I generally know where the utilities run but if you are in ? yes call for a locate
Have you ever considered charging by the area of a stump? Like someone else mentioned a very large stump you aren't making the same as a small stump.
I cover that with a minimum charge
Another great video brother. Keep sharing!!
Thanks! Will do!
Nobody in my area has a machine and nobody around West Texas and the Permian basin does it to my knowledge
Hey mustang, its clate again,been taking notes on startup and such this weekend I've got a 2.5 foot stump I'm going to be grinding with a powerking walk behind machine i purchased and was wondering if you have any recommendations for my first stump seeing im no longer trimming and starting the grinding game..
Make sure the teeth are sharp
I don’t understand the diameter inch price. At $3 an inch a 10in stump would only be $30?
Maybe I’m calculating something wrong
Yes but you have to set a min ... ours is $100 res $75 commercial
Thank you so much very helpful
You mention that sometimes you just do the job on the same day that you give the quote. Do you call dig safe when you grind?
I used to work for the city so I know the general layout of the utility's but if its in a funny area I have the home owner call ahead
Subscribed!!!! Your video tutelage certainly helps for people who want to get in the stumping game. Do you recommend buying the machine upfront if you have the capitol?
I will make a video on that ...
@@mustangrebuilder Sweet!!! Thanks!!!

Well winner winner winner send info to mustangrebuilder@gmail.com
I should reword that is your price set at 3.50 and that is all you charge to cover travel and repair cost along with your personal wage or do you add anything else in there and what's a good percentage to take out for repairs?
I understood what you meant ... I set back 10 percent for repairs
Basic way is I walk away with $75 to $100 no mater what even if its a 6 inch stump
Great video!
Thanks!
Thank you dude
Any time
Is sales tax included in your pricing? My country has a 15% GST rate and it's typical to quote price + gst but every know and then a customer misunderstands and gets grumpy when the final price is higher than they expected
No
I own a tree company and im thinking of investing in a spider lift but im doing well as a climber and I have a 42 ft bucket truck. I don’t feel comfortable, liability wise, sending my guys out to drop trees without me. But, I think stump grinding could be profitable and something I could delegate to one of my guys while I’m climbing or on vacation. What are your thoughts?
Key word 1 of your guys .... someone who has mechanical knowledge to help with maintenance
Hi!
Great video as usuall, thanks for sharing your expreience.
I'm new into stump grinding here over in Sweden and recently bought me a used (600h) Rayco 1645S.
I still use the old teetht that came on the machine and have been sharping them with an angle grinder and a special grind disc, but i find the teeth gets dull really fast.
What teeth would you reccomend for my machine? Its an 44 hp diesel turbo engine.

Thank you for a quick reply, will look into tjoa!
We Appreciate You
You made my day thank you brother

Thanks for the information would you charge more to remove chips?
Yes , sometimes the same about that the stump cost
Hey I just started my business I bought a toro sgr 13 honda how much should j charge for half a Day or a whole day
It all depends on where you live my friend
Is there any demand for a business that cleans up stump grindings?
I do pass that on to landscapers
Where can I find your email? I would love to pick your brain further. Appreciate your attitude and your experience.
mustangrebuilder@gmail.com
How much do you charge per Inch now? what is contractor price? And what is residential? Thank you very much! :D
send me an email mustangrebuilder@gmail.com
Great job!! Love your videos!!
Thanks so much!!
Love your videos! Keep it up
Thanks!
Price sounds fair
I would like your door hangers info send to me.

Why do some areas charge 3-500$?
Depends on the economy of the area ..just like some places the same house could be $150k and in Los angles same house 1 million
Do you go and look at all the stumps you bid?
about 90%
What is the make/model of your grinder?
Bandit 2550
Mustang Rebuilder What’s that unit cost brand new? I see some used ones for 40K+. High dollar rig. Seems like it might be a better investment to buy a tractor and a PTO driven grinder??
@@texasnative only if you live in an area that is wide open to get into yards
😁👍👍👍
Do you charge by inches on the tree or do you include the raised areas on the tree. I know a lot of guys 3/per inch. Some parts of the country are 7-8/inch. Got a lot of big trees up north. Could you do a video on how you do a tree estimate?
By inch and if I have to cut it shorter I charge $25 per cut
💯💯💯 great video 💪🏽
Thanks 💯
You answered my question I wish I could pick your brain a little more
Ask anything you want
Do you charge your minimum on top of the per inch cost or if you have a 36 inch stump do you just charge 126
I have a min because of fuel especially now and its $75 to $100 if its more than 30 min drive but I use that if say it was 2x 12 inch stumps
@@mustangrebuilder say it's a 46 inch stump at 3.50 an inch comes to 161. Do you also add on your 75 minimum I know it sounds like a goof question just trying to figure out how others do pricing. Thanks in advance
