Thinking of starting a tractor service business in southern Oregon. ie. mowing, tilling, post holes, leveling, etc. Last spring I put out a craigslist ad to test the waters and I got at least 1 call/day until I deleted the ad 10 days later. Since I'm not setup yet I referred the business to another guy I know who has a tractor. So I'm wondering 1) is this really a viable, profitable business model, 2) would I be better off with a skid steer vs a tractor, and 3) do I really need a backhoe? I'm thinking of going with an LS XR4046HC at this point, with loader, brush hog, tiller, etc. but no backhoe. Appreciate any advice. Thank you.
