Hi All! Just wanted to update and wrap up my long saga on here for everyone. I know it's a lot to read through, but if you're in the position I was a few months ago, wondering if this is all possible, I hope you can find a little motivation in this to give it a try. - April 10th I took possession of my new CAT 275xe. I finally got out of the dealer at around Noon and drove straight to my first job. Risky not having ran it before, but you gotta learn somehow! - spent almost every week day in the machine on jobs up until today trying to get caught up on all the work I booked before even having the machine (thanks to facebook ads) - have just a couple jobs left with paid deposits, finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. - grabbed some good before/after pics and vids to start creating new content for updating socials and new ads - 5 5-Star Reviews achieved on new Google Business Profile and counting Since April 10th, I have completed and received payment on $23,875 worth of work with an average job ticket of $3,410. The rest of this week and next week will be spent finishing up the final 2 jobs with deposits which will be for $9,875 worth of work. I hope someone gets a little value out of all this to see what is possible. A month ago, I was working a $90k a year W2 behind a computer all day. Miserable. Now, I'm in woods all day tearing things up and enjoying life so much more and making a great living. While I don't plan to run this wide open all the time, it is nice to see what is possible if you truly wanted to grind away and make hay when you can. Just don't get burned out! I am posting before/after vids of one of my favorite jobs I completed on a random Tuesday, and the rewarding joy you can bring with this work. I did this job for a couple who had inherited this property from a passing parent. They wanted to build their retirement home on this property. Both husband and wife were in tears after seeing the finished property (in a good way!) He said "I haven't been able to walk this property like this since I was a 6 year old boy. If it was Friday, I'd pack the kids and tent up and we'd camp out here all weekend."

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?

All my research said this was the best Mulcher for my machine (I didn't say The Best) and was curious has anyone had any experience with this unit and any tips or tricks I should know? Thanks
