$200.00 an hour. My guy, after 5 delays due to rain, is supposedly on his way to my place right now with what he calls the MOTHER OF ALL WOOD CHIPPERS.
I’m excited to see it work.
He says he had to buy a huge skid steer, add pumps and capacity, bought a monster attachment that obviously goes on the front. The attachment has a big metal cylinder that is mounted horizontally, east/west. He says a 5-6 in oak is no problem.
Goes on to say it takes the stumps down to grade and leaves nothing but mulch! Hope so.
Over the past 3 months I’ve cleared about 1.5 acres of pure jungle by hand. 2 chain saws a rope and a hernia. I bet I’ve removed 500 1-4 in diameter weedy trees, maybe 5000? You can not walk through it, period.
I will post video if I can.
BTW. Everyone knows how it works. Most my guys like cash and will sometimes give a discount....I wonder why?
This is the first guy in 50 years that looked me right in the eye and said, I do everything under the table and ONLY work for cash. No BS! I thought I was back in Italy. 40% of the Italian economy is black, under the table, and everyone knows it!
Like John Lennon said, Just gimme some truth.
