I am at a critical point in the starting phase in picking a machine. They are both 205-215k here in north Texas. I’m thinking CAT however i thought i have read on some reviews that it’s cooling package doesn’t perform as well as bobcat. At that price i will have to go used it do monthly rentals for the first few months. Does anyone have any advice for a newb like me.

Since my vehicle is 11,200 lbs and considering the weight of some of this equipment, I'm considering getting a CDL. I plan on taking a 4 day course in MO for the hands on portion and road test. Does anybody have an advice on a good a source to study for the learners permit? I haven't started YouTube research yet because the algorithm will start force feeding me trucker stuff. In 2 days it'll start showing the top 10 Lot Lizard hacks that no one wants you to know about.

my name is Jamie Kaspar and my business is Texas Guardian Land Services. —-I live in Henrietta Texas, a small ranching community in north Texas. I’ll be operating in Clay, Wichita, Jack and Archer counties. —I’m in the starting phase and trying to decide whether to buy new equipment or used. Or even do monthly rental if that not a crazy thought. —No revenue yet but when i get started the goal is 30-50k —What is stopping me is getting over the sinking feeling about not having enough market interest. —I’m really enjoying reading all of your inspiring posts.
