@@CC-nq7mp it is really hard to get that point across to customers. That's why my company would do a stump that size for maybe $100. It leaves very little room to even believe a customer could do it any cheaper renting. Because those $40,000 machines are about $300 to rent for the day and I'll take two days with that baby machine to do a stump this size.
@@StumpGrindingCheap and. What people don’t realize. If a customer rents and grinder and they break a window it’s on them. They pay you and a window gets broken it’s in you. But hey WTF do we know.
@@CC-nq7mp In 18 years I've broke 1 window. Besides, I don't fix anything broken from things outside my control. My contract states this as I also explain this before each job. It comes down to either the customer rents a grinder for two days at $500 and break a window or I grind it in 10min for $100 and break a window. In both situations they have to fix the window on their dime but hiring me was $400 cheaper.
You should take consideration your workers and the property owners and invest in some debris / safety shields , no reason to send chips all across the property
When it comes time to replace the belts you will start to realize taking a few extra mins to grind a stump instead of rushing and stalling the wheel isn’t worth the extra time your saving..I say this from experience
Get yourself a Rayco and you won’t have any belts to replace. It’s all hydraulically driven. And personally, I don’t like remote control on stumpers. You can’t variably control the swing speed. If you’re going for time, I’ll beat you every time with a manually controlled stumper. And I might add ,with less damage/stress to the machine.
@@FROG2000 So your point is that it's cheaper to rent the machine and do it yourself? Big surprise. When you call someone to do it, maybe you should pay him? And maybe you also have to pay for the second machine we see in the background that's collecting the chips, and the guy driving it? Maybe you should pay for the transport of those machines to your property and back? When you removed those 5 stumps, how much time did it take you? Including the time spent finding a rental, doing the paperwork, getting back home with the machine, doing the work, then going back to the place you rented it from, the time cleaning it, etc. I feel like I'm explaining life to a child.
Any guesses how much it cost to buy that machine? Trailer it out to jobs & set up. The expert to use it & cleanup. Then payroll & business taxes. Insurances & maintenance. Trailer it back to shop or next job. You obviously oblivious to how much money it takes to float a business? Just be glad those services are offered. $400 is way cheaper than digging it up yourself & the bark mulch is reusable in the garden. I call that a win/win.

Your not just paying the stump. Your paying for his insurance. Comp. Payroll taxes. And most importantly. His knowledge
Thank you! I wish more people understood business and the true cost of providing services
Great video well done Alex!
@@workinghardusa I appreciate that! Thank you so much!
1:45 This video really demonstrates the power and efficiency of modern stump grinders
$400 in seven minutes demonstrates the wealth and stupidity of some customers.
Covers the neighborhood in mulch
You may want to consider cleaning off that radiator.
looking good buddy!
@@madenewwashing2020 yes sir I appreciate it!
He's trying his best to find a gas line.
Same thing I Thought.
@@GarryLommel There are no flags for buried utilities. It's a free service but people still don't use it to their advantage.
Skid steer mounted recon stumped !!!
less than 10 minutes to complete is great. can the cutting speed be faster?
That price seems low for the size of that stump.
What does the cutter wheelbelt cost? How many hours are you typically getting from them before they break?

Need some netting to keep the spraying down but other then that nice going
@@nickthrane4940 yea those nets definitely help! I’ve considered getting one for a while now 😅
What a nice video
Cost of this machine?
They are close to $100k now.
I got mine for $78,000 in 2020
What happens when you encounter big stones in the roots ?
They charge more duh
Did you call before you dig (811). I see your in a DB development. All the more reason to have a mark out.
What wheel is on there?
He opted in for the "green teeth" system. Some think it's faster but also places the machine under more stress.
lol whos the guy swearing and yelling?
$400??? Holy cow. Thats maybe $100. Without debris removal.
If it’s a cheap job then why doesn’t the home owner do it themselves Oh yeah. That’s right. They don’t have a 40k machine

That really is great advice! Those belts are super costly too 😅
That would be the reason to consider a unit with hydraulic run cutter instead of belt driven

400 a stump, will take 42 years to pay off the equipment
Nice machine though😊
Not at exorbitant prices like that.
cALL MISS UTITLY
$400 to grind a stump??? Where the hell are you located that makes this price acceptable?
fairytale land.
Look up how much that machine costs.
