How much profit does the brand generate annually? A multiple of that is a starting place. If you have enforceable contracts (book of business) with meaningful time remaining, you can include some value for them in the brand's worth.

Guess I’m upgrading my 10 year old excavator… for size reference it’s a 24” bucket on the old, 36” bucket on the new. Now my mini excavator is bigger than @BIGTWIG ‘s, but his smallest excavator is bigger than my mini 😂😂

Normally you’d buy the number with the brand/book of business.

It does fine and was ~1/3 of the cost of a Hypertherm 85 with the hand and machine torch. If I was in to heavy production I’d be interested in a Hypertherm. Everlast consumables are very cheap compared to Sync cartridges, Hypertherm last longer.

Nah the 45 is a Hypertherm, the 100 is an Everlast.

Gouging with the 100 amp plasma is heckka fast compared to the 45 amp.

It's my favorite CTL that I've owned by a decent margin. The first was a Mustang branded Tak, second was a Kubota SVL90-2.

I started the day pushing a few loads of dirt out for my neighbor, apparently he spend an hour with a small tractor trying to spread the little bit that was done in the first picture. The top soil should have been cut out before dumping the dirt, but not my circus, not my monkeys. I was...

Really? Seems like it'd get in the way to me. I like a short, sloping front with the least overhang for getting around tight spots.

I pretty much always have AirPods Pro 2's with me, noise cancelling is beautiful, and the AirPods are more socially accepted than orange earplugs. 😂 The subs in my living room get down to 15hz, but they're much more alive around 20hz.

That was my impression... I've never heard of someone enjoying a rental stump grinder experience. For me, profit margins grinding stumps have always been substantially more viable than mulching here in the South. Mulching you'll have $130k minimum in your CTL and mulching head (new), easily...

Kanaga has been around forever, Ekka in Aussie had one years ago.

That reminded me of part of an atypical job we did on a construction job last year at MSU. Had to grind down to the engineered depth/through the bottom of the stump, excavate the material, and backfill with specific dirt. This was part of a larger job and 45 miles from the house... this was...

Another tree/stump from this month, a ~3' pine. You can kinda see the mound from the roots above "common grade". Took 24 minutes. Would have probably been a $250 bid if it was a stand alone grinding job.

That picture isn't great for seeing the root mound, which can greatly increase the grinding time. Like on the video I posted, the stump was 4.5' in diameter (measure one way, measure 90* to that and average), but it was 4' tall. I forget but I think it was 9' or 11' where the grass started...

No, the common grade is where the grade would be if there never was a tree there. On a 6' stump the roots will normally have a mound around the trunk that could be a foot higher than the common grade. That stump looks considerably smaller than 6' in diameter. Grass won't grow on wood chips...

A 6' stump has 4x the wood of a ~3' stump and 10x the wood of a ~2' stump. Definitely not something I'd want to do with a handle bar machine. I generally go a minimum of 8" below common grade. On stump that large the dirt around the stump could be mounded a foot above common grade. You...

I don’t run a saw as much as many here, but I’ve never replaced a bearing, 21 years of doing trees come April.

While it does reduce the amount of steel in the blade by ~28.5%, at some point buying thinner metal doesn't save money. For example, locally, 16ga steel costs nearly twice as much per sq ft as 14ga.

I paid ~$16/gallon for my last gallon of bar oil, $23/gallon for synthetic diesel oil.
