Stumper

Stumped, You aren't charging enough for the big stumps-This diameter inch thing is common but stinks(If you double diameter it quadruples the area.) $2 per inch may be all your market will stand ( I know that prices in the east and midwest are often lower due to a high volume of stumpers.) I do little ones for about that but get more as the stump increases in size. If you can't break the price per inch habit in your area you can play the phsycological game and also make bidding easier(even on trees that haven't been cut yet) by priceing by the CIRCUMFERENCE inch. $1 per inch circumference =$3.14 per diameter inch but it "sounds cheaper". Regarding used stump machines-My father is contemplating selling his Levco HD45. He wants $4000 for it. It has less than 25 hours on a new engine.
