Mowing Hired a landscaper!

   / Hired a landscaper! #31  
$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.

I broke a $32000.00 attachment!

Not exactly me. The forest clearing guy came Saturday morning to clear my weedy trees that make up my jungle/rain forest. You literally can not walk thru it, unless you follow the game trails.

His attachment cost $32000.00, made in Sweden and only lasted 1.5 hours. It has the quick attach same as everything else I致e seen. The pins on the QA locate and are held in by what I call metal straps.

He broke both of his! Also took out one of the cutter teeth on rocks, tuff day.

Coincidence, I broke the same strap on my OEM bucket from kubota last month but, I believe the Swedish attachment used higher quality steel than kubota? Mine welded back no problem, I must be more gentle.

He quit, said too much for his machine. In the end it was the rocks, not the trees.

I致e cleared 3 acres buy 6432DC1D-1BA8-453D-A7ED-A18DD74A70D1.jpeg6F0BEA63-554F-403B-96B4-E0DEC5E02505.jpeghand, looks like 3 more.
