Just looked at some stumps this morning for a buddy of mine. He's got a large lot w/probably 100 stumps ranging 6" to over 50" (at least 7 or 8 this size).
Being a buddy, I didn't commit to a figure, but told him I'd work for $75 an hour, & get as much done as he wanted to pay for. Also told him that at that rate, it's worked out to under $20/stump in the past, which I thought was reasonable.
He said that his dirt guy had a machine, & gave him a bid of 8 bucks a stump. 8 bucks!!?? Just yesterday I did a job at $20/stump. The guy was so pleased he paid me a $25 tip. Even told me that he got another bid at $30/stump.
Good grief, 8 bucks?? What's the industry comin' to??
Sorry, had to vent
