passed a show today, just started sometime in the last week or so.
they gots a 300 doosan loader, a big tiger cat feller buncher, and a big Deere grapple skidder, and something much farther back as maybe a processor.
All of em looked real new like last year at the most
Heres the deal, its only like 3 acres, and all cotton wood which i know they aren't getting more then $300 per 1k mbf. Knowing that and knowing they are probably getting much less then 300 per 1k. I have to ask how in the hell do they expect to make any money on a job like that.
At best there was probably 20 loads, and you would need to move 1 load for every piece of iron on that job, and then pay 1 load a day or more to every operator just to break even, and here these jokers are with 4 brand spankin new machines?
It makes me wonder how in the hell they are getting it done, or if maybe they are getting paid for clearing it...
