Hey guys — could use some advice. I just did a site visit on a 50-acre property and the customer wants mulching/clearing work that my small brush mulcher can’t keep up with. Curious what you all do when you run into jobs like this. Here’s the scope: 1. Selective Juniper & Trash Tree Removal Selective clearing of unwanted juniper and miscellaneous trash trees within approximately 1.75 acres, leaving desirable trees intact. 2. Cedar Clearing / Removal Clearing of approximately 3 acres of cedar and mixed canopy trees, primarily 2–6 inches in diameter. 3. Fence Line Clearing Clearing vegetation along approximately 4,500 linear feet of fence line, with an estimated 75% containing brush or tree growth. 4. Access Road / Trail Clearing Clearing a corridor approximately 700 feet in length and approximately two trucks wide to create a passable access route. 5. Dead Tree Work • Felling of two large dead trees • Felling and removal/burn of one large dead tree 6. Bamboo Removal Clearing of dense bamboo growth along approximately 262 linear feet, varying in depth from approximately 2 feet to 16 feet. 7. Brush Mulching Mulching of approximately 360 linear feet of brush along a tree line. 8 ft deep 8. Light Mulching & Deadfall Cleanup Approximately 2 acres of very light brush mulching and deadfall pickup. The local rental yard quoted me $6,700 delivered for a Fecon FTX150-2. So I’m debating a few options: • Rent the Fecon and knock it out with a bigger machine • Subcontract the mulching to someone with a large unit • Use my 4-ton mini excavator to rip, pile, and burn everything For those of you who’ve been doing this a while — what’s your move when you land a job bigger than your machine setup? Appreciate any advice.

Still wondering what marketing channel to use? Here’s the marketing play we’ve run for 3+ years and same one that guys like @Blake Browning & @William Swingle are using: Step 1: Steal the Before & After Ad from "Facebook Flywheel" training Blake literally said, “I’ve never run a successful ad before.” He copied William Swingle’s ad, plugged it into the Facebook Flywheel training, and in 12 days (in the middle of winter): - 26 leads - 3 estimates done - 3 more booked when snow clears - 13 qualified leads waiting on estimates Why it works: - Call out the right people:“Hey [County] landowners…” - Show the BEFORE: “Does your property look like this?” - Show the AFTER: “…and you want it to look like this?” - Your FACE on camera, 3‑second hook, simple pan from brush to finished. $50/day budget: ~1–2 leads/day (season dependent) If you’re spending >$100/lead, your video / hook should be reviewed. A Facebook page + video ad gets you in the game. Step 2: Be Savage About Speed‑to‑Lead Across 100+ clients, @Jacob Neffendorf data says: the winners are the ones who call the leads FAST Stryker guys say the same thing... went to Stryker event last weekend (1–10M home‑service businesses) same message from @Andy Walker The best companies call leads FAST Treat every lead like they’re ready to buy right now Here's what to do if you're a Solo operator: - Phone in pocket, notifications on. - Lead automation comes in while you’re in the machine → kill the throttle, hit call. - Script:“Hey, it’s [Name] with [Company]. Saw you reached out about land clearing. I’m on a project right now but wanted to jump on this quick. Give me a quick overview of your property…” You’re not “bothering” them. Speed is the service. Step 3: Book the Site Visit & Prove You’re a Pro

If you run a land clearing / forestry mulching business, you probably feel this: - Leads and jobs scattered across texts, Facebook, Jobber, your notebook - Guessing at pricing and hoping you didn’t underbid - No reliable way to see, “What’s booked and what’s actually hitting my bank in the next 30 days?” That’s exactly what drove me crazy in the early years running Bear Claw... Since then, we’ve been duct‑taping GoHighLevel, Jobber, and a bunch of spreadsheets together. It works, but it’s way harder than it should be. So this year I finally said: screw it, I’m building the software system I wish existed. What I’m building (and why you should care) Over the last few months, we’ve been building OPS ENGINE: The operating system I use to run a 7‑figure fire mitigation / land‑clearing business… turned into software you can plug into your business. -Profitable Pricing -Fast FB Lead Capture -Automatic Text/Email Follow Ups -CRM Sales Pipeline -Speed To Lead Tracking -Quoting, Scheduling, Invoicing -Payment Capture -Dashboard (with metrics that actually matter) OPS ENGINE is built for one purpose: Take a “guy with a machine” and turn him into the owner of a real, scalable land‑clearing business by saving time, automating repetitive tasks, and tracking the most important metrics. If you follow along, you’ll see exactly how we: - Price jobs using crew‑day math so you stop working for free - Capture every lead from FB Ads, website call, form submission into one clean pipeline - Automate follow‑up so bids don’t ghost and jobs don’t slip through the cracks - See jobs + expected cash 30 days ahead so you stop riding the feast‑or‑famine rollercoaster Last year I used these same systems to help a guy go from $0 to ~$150k/month in 6 months. I’m not sharing theory; this system was designed on what already works. What you get now (before it ever launches) OPS ENGINE is not public yet. Bear Claw will run on it first.
