What is the simplest way to know when I bid a job if I'm going to need a permit for that job just to cut down trees and mow it? Also, in Florida they are big on protecting "wetlands". Any advice for staying on top of that? And what actually qualifies? Thanks

Two weeks ago I blew out a hose under the seat of my '98 Bobcat 863. Had a new hose built, installed it, filled hydraulic resovoir with 5 gallons of pride 68 and started it up. Finished the job no problem then brought it home and let it sit for a week. A couple of days ago I get on it to move...

I have a 98 or 99 bobcat 863. While working today it began to stall out on me. If I stopped moving and allowed the engine to recover it would go back to full throttle...eventually. A couple of times I just let it sit for 10-20 minutes then it would crank and run for a while before doing it...

Do you know where I can find some video on the roto axe in action?

My question for everyone here is "What is the best and most effective way to advertise land clearing services in order to reach your customer base"? Right now I'm pretty much going on business cards and word of mouth. Word of mouth can be great as far as your reputation goes but I don't think...

Has anyone had any experience with the mulcher from baumalite? The mulcher only cost 9k and looks a little on the lite side too but I'm curious as to how well it actually works and if it would hold up in the woods day in and day out. Don't want to throw my money away if it would be better...

A buddy of mine had a dot officer come to his house and inspect his rig to make sure he was legal as he had been told he needed a cdl to haul his bobcat. After being inspected the officer told him he was legal except for one of his trailer axles needing a set of brakes. He was within the...

I got a chance to demo the CAT 297C today with a FAE mulcher today. I was impressed with the machine but not so much with the mulcher...in it's defense I think it's a little overdo to have the carbide teeth replaced but being as it's a rental and it cost 3k to replace the teeth I guess I can...

Here's a few pics of the rotary cutter I've been working on. It's done pretty well cutting so far...I've been through some 6-8" material a few times pretty easily. Anyway, I thought it turned out ok. Maybe this weekend I can post some pics of a few jobs I did with it.

Except for a coat of paint going on it in the next day or so, the rotary cutter I started last weekend is complete. It turned out pretty well too. It cut well in some really dense stuff down here in south alabama. Mostly youpons and small trees but it did walk through one six inch hardwood...

I managed to get all my materials in about a week ahead of time so I got started building on Saturday. I've got about 20 or so hours in it now and am pretty much finished with it...just a few finishing touches is all that's left. I got to cut with it a little today and it did good, I just...

I ordered all my metal for the deck and other parts (hydraulic motor, hub, blades, quick attach plate) on Friday. Should have everything in about two weeks. I can't wait to get it built. I'm building an open front brush cutter like the one on brushmonster.com. A guy selling a used one let me...

I have a few questions about starting a mulching business. First, I'm curious as to how you get enough business to justify spending what it takes for a dedicated machine and mulching head without even having the equipment to begin with. I have already started a land clearing business. I...
