The John Blue pump on the Sprayers/Nitrogen Applicators was a game changer in the fact that you no longer have to calculate and run numbers to get accurate application rates , once set the pump compensates for your ground speed and IMO is very accurate.
This customer said that they hired a bulldozer to push the property lines when they bought the place so that the fence could be put up, but that was over 20 years ago so it was pretty thick with 12' to 14' high scrub oaks and vines, and yes I agree anything that a customer allows to go un-touched for years that is going to be hard on your equipment you should charge more for, fixing and making equipment repairs is inevitable and isn't usually cheap.
Very nice work.
This forestry mower is tough, it takes a beating and is none the worse for it, it's a 3 blade model with carbide grinding teeth on the bottom of the blade carrier, the blades are heavy and made out of AR-400 steel, I am still on the original set believe it or not, I have a new set I just haven't put them on yet. It does make me cringe when I hit hidden steel , and a concrete block will be obliterated when you hit them, my most time consuming chore is cutting fence wire out from around the bearing housing if it gets past the wire prevention studs that are welded around the housing. I will charge more if when looking at the job I see it's a junk hole, I have found abandoned cars lawn mowers etc in weeds, vines and trees that you couldn't walk through.Very nice work.
What happens with the trash metal and your equipment? You can't see it until after it's hit. Do you charge more in advance? How bad does your stuff get abused?
