I’m in Northern Colorado and I am just getting started. Started building some social pages, building my website out, and I think I’m ready to start chasing leads and equipment. Any recommendations out there?

I finally found a place that rents forestry equipment.. it’s a T870 and the daily rent is $1900. Is there anything I should know when renting that I might have missed? Also if my daily rate is $3300, and someone only has a have a days work are you guys charging a minimum? At $1900 a day should I stick to the full days work so that it’s profitable? I know these seem like easy questions to some but I’m a newbie haha. Thanks in advanced for your help

Let's say you are doing a property line with NO fence. How do you ensure you keep a straight line? Is there a compass method, a GPS? Thinking this is a liability area if you get off.

Looking for a sanity check from operators running forestry mulchers in rocky ground — how would you price this job? The setup: - (104 carbide cutters) - Ground: Central Texas — Edwards Plateau, caliche and surface limestone/flint - Vegetation: Ashe juniper (cedar), moderate density - Diesel: $5.00/gal locally The job: - 2 acres total - Mostly flat terrain, some rock - Moderate density (mixed brush + cedar, roughly 2–4" stems) - Job site is within 10 miles of my shop — short haul - Mulch in place, no haul-off What I'm asking: 1. What would you charge the customer all-in for this job, and how did you get there — hourly, per-acre, or flat day rate? 2. How many days do you figure this takes in rocky caliche with a machine this size? 3. The big one: what do you budget for carbide tooth wear per hour (or per job) in rock like this? I've seen OEM tips quoted around $90 each and I'm trying to confirm what real wear cost looks like in the field. 4. Anything in these conditions you'd add a premium for that I might be underestimating?
