Bloody hell!
So often people think ya making a fortune, but they have no idea of the costs and overheads.
I had a Dosko 20hp grinder, was grinding some bugger ficus stump, hit a bad root and the whole machine jumped forward and stopped. The large root stuck in the wheel. Bent the shaft yada yada yada and $1500 later I was running again.
Blew a hydro hose on the Kanga, raced around to the Pirtek shop,
I took old off and fitted new and they reckon they were doing me a bargain at $200 for 2 hoses.
It never ends, saws, ropes, gear etc etc etc but jeez, you made $480 in 1.5 hours mate.
I think the industry average is 18% profit for 3 man crew with chipper etc.
