I just purchased a new L3400 HST w/FEL, bh75, bush hog and box blade. I bought it for work around my farm and the bh for digging some footings that my stepson needs from time to time.
My question is how many of you do side work for extra $ with your tractors? I am thinking about doing this and would like some tips from those who have been there. Specifically things like how you get word out that you are available, what kind of jobs you do, how busy do you get, how do you charge (hour/job) and how much? There is a lot of new construction within 20 miles of my home and wonder if some of these contractors would be interested as well. I forgot to mention I also have a 20' dovetail trailer to haul it all on.
Thanks for any suggestions!
