44hp diesel http://www.stoneycreekrentals.com/rental-item.asp?rent=1558&d=44HP+Diesel+Stump+Grinder+For+Rent Of the 2 places I rent from, this is the largest available.

I rounded off a bit and delivered a price of 3k to her today. She said "wow this stuff is expensive". She did not seem to think I was overcharging though, she just wanted to split it into thirds. I explained that each split involved renting a machine again and that I could split the bill for...

All good points, Sean, thank you. Sometimes hearing those things that we already kinda know, helps keep things in perspective. Could you expand a bit on the soil type? My propery is mostly shale, which makes a big difference when doing excavating (and more specifically the direction of...

Indeed. Giving estimates always stresses me out.

The 2 rental places I deal with have been very reliable. Everything I have rented from them has started easily, and worked as it should. The handlebar style grinder I rented from this one before started easy and had a sharp teeth. Some of that may be luck-of-the-draw, but they've been good to...

^Good point

+1 on the emoticon, I missed it too

I'm 30 minutes from this one, not counting the travel time to go get the grinder. There is a place within a mile of them (where I rented a lift for my most recent job for them) but for a weekend rental the place I use is cheaper, and in the opposite direction. So splitting the job would crank...

That would be my preffered way to go, they mentioned the possibility of splitting it up to make it easier on their checkbook. Maybe I'll offer to split the bill into 2 payments. They are very good customers and always pay their bills, so I'm not worried about them screwing me later.

I've got plenty of room to manuever, all of the stumps are in the open. From your description it sounds like I should definitely go the bigger machine. If they decide to split the job up the smaller machine might work, or rent the bigger one for round 1 and whack the big stump, then come back...

Can you expand a bit on the HP? are the stumps I have lined up too much for the 26hp machine?

There's hardly any bark!!!! But in all seriousness I did look at the bark a little, it does not seem like pine to me, but I'm really not sure what it is. and I do need to get better at tree ID. . . .

I have no idea what species these were, they were casualties from previous storms and such before I got this client and have not resprouted. I would guess hardwood vs soft, but that's not a very educated guess. There are many pine, maple, cherry, and oak on the property.

I'm familiar with the area of a circle calculation and the exponential relation to the diameter, the relation of that to price is part of the reason for this thread. I've done very little stump grinding, only small stumps with a manual stump grinder. It worked pretty well for the tasks that...

Or I am putting together an estimate for removing 8 or 9 stumps for a regular client, I had mentioned it briefly in another thread and I felt it needed its own thread so I can ask for help. It was mentioned by Sawman that stumps locally (he's about 1.5 hr drive from me) are $5 per inch. So...
