It's crazy man I buddy spends 3200/4000 a month on fuel for 4 trucks and small equipment , that 40K + before you even try to make money , I got it much easier but still I ##### spending 1600/1700 a month for diesel and gas .... My wife does my quick books and somehow makes it work ... And having personal bills monthly of 3/3500 it's tough ... And if you have kids with expensive sports and hobbies ....... ####ing forget about it :hmm3grin2orange:

I think it's a way to insure that you are replacing equipment on a semi regular basis , because I question the chemicals that these new engine use to clean carbon , that can't be much better then diesel emission . My dad just bought a 2012 Mack tri axle and if you try to idle to warm it up or just leave it run , it will shut itself off in 8 minutes , it literally won't idle. And you can not take that out of the computer .

There are huge constructions here that have yards loaded with equipment they can't run and now can't sell . They are forced to lease machines for certain jobs when they own 5 of em . It's everyone that feels the crunch but I agree the mom and pop feels it alot worse

Oh I hear ya, Im in the same exact boat! Sometimes I wonder if its all worth it? But theres nothing like being your own boss and being able to take off anytime you want to spend with the wife and kids.

10/4 there good buddy I think its time for a convoy just think if all our junk hit the road together to make a statement headed to californy with tons of black smoke puffin like the chemtrails of the jets we could end this global #### and get back to 1.00 per gallon fuel
We go to tier 4 in Jan.,,,,It would be nice to move to a state or economical environment that does not tax success. But So-Cal rule's!!!!!!

Picked up this little gem in the heart of the city. Pulled permits at city hall yesterday. Absolutely zero access on a small one way street. The patio is fully enclosed, and cannot take down the walls on the left or right. Both sumacs need to be cut up and carried through the little door at the bottom of the stairs through a 10 ft hall way out to the street for chipping and round loading.

Getting a crane with enough stick to do this job would cost an ungodly amount of money given the specific location, sutting down an entire street, police details, TMP's permits etc... I'm already at 4 grand and that's with me, two helpers and a chip truck!
We have one, use it all the time. Either to handle blocks or root balls for trees to be planted.
Whenever I try and talk to the boss about getting a mini loader, he just points to the wood dolly.
Minimum rentals on a crane will pay for a lot of groundy time. You make money off groundy time, you don't make money renting a crane, except for the mark up.
