Can someone point me to slope safety and limits for newer operators.
Title ^ Would help I quoted a STEEP property today and was unsure of the entrance to his access. once i got down it leveled out but wow my first instinct was to say i cant make the machine down here but he assured me another skid steer was down there. I am so new i am just not sure its worth the risk. Any tips? Ill upload some pics

I could be wrong here, but I have heard some operators say they don’t like to go past 20° slopes in a skid. Otherwise they’re getting remote machines rented.
Small win.
We’re back in business boys! It took awhile, but with uploading the correct documents and pictures, Google overtures my suspension!

Hey everyone, in the spirit of the group posting their ads on here for review, I wanted to see what your take on this one is. My wife and I made this last fall right after getting the machine here in Alaska. This was before I found Austin and this group and photos weren't bringing anything in and we didn't know what we were doing, but we knew we needed before and after and action videos. My wife did the voice over because we didn't think about doing that out there. We also didn't put any text in the video. So this was a boosted post. We paid about $1200 over about 2 months starting in November last fall (2025) and it brought in over $12k worth of work before the snow got too deep to do anything and before it got old and didn't work anymore. We're working on a new one from the stuff we're learning on this school group, once I can get access to land through the ice and snow. What are your honest thoughts on this? We're really curious what you all think! This has been quite the journey and we're learning more all the time!

If this was before you found the group, looks like you’ve got entrepreneurial traits in your veins! I agree with the previous comments, captions go a long way. Also, maybe a low volume music of sorts. What aspect ratio is this video in? I think 9:16 is best for videos on apps like Facebook and TikTok. Great content!!

@John Tyznik absolutely brotha. Keep doing what you’re doing
What I’ve learned
Not that the whole training isn't worth its weight in gold, but what really sealed the deal and made this attainable for me, was when I learned Crew Day Pricing from the Crew day pricing video. I took action by implementing real numbers into my business. As a result, I was able to see what I would have costs wise, vs income. I started out with napkin math with what I thought were realistic numbers. Then, to be solid and secure, I went out, got an actual quote on a machine with mulching head and forestry kit, I got numbers for a 20k trailer, figured my fuel costs, maintenance and wear, mobilization costs and got quotes on insurance from GL all the way up to Inland Marine and workman’s comp. Moving forward, I will do more of real numbers talk. Napkin math is great, but it can be blind leading the blind and I will do less of worrying about what could be realistic and how to get there, rather than implementing real life scenarios and numbers. You get nowhere questioning everything. It’s good to be calculated, but when that calculation turns into procrastination, I found myself setting myself back. I started to be my biggest issue. Taking the small step to go out and actually get quotes to run real numbers changed a lot for me. I then ordered door hangers, business cards, and got my website in the process of being made. I advertised to friends and family, and tried to compromise with Facebook on advertising to strangers. When Facebook kept removing my posts, I pivoted and started going out, talking to people and hanging door hangers. I listened to Austin’s comment of “If $1500 is going to sink your business, you’re not ready for Facebook ads.” Hearing that, I realized I am ready for Facebook ads, and it would probably be more beneficial with his videos on how to set all that up. I think doing that, I can reach who I want to reach, without jumping through all the different hoops and rules of various Facebook groups. That’s what I’ve learned and it’s just the beginning. Thank you to @AustinGray and his team.

@Cliff McRae I just put all my numbers together as accurately as possible with the real numbers from the quotes. I have yet to do paid ads and really see what the demand is around my area. Right now we’ve got road closures and 12” of snow so I can’t continue to do the door hangers. Off to paid ads I go I guess! I put all the numbers together basically to prove to myself it is a feasible plan and prep myself for what I need as far as jobs per month.

@James Louros haven’t had a call yet, didn’t get nearly enough out. Found myself in the wrong area. Had some good conversations with people though! Could be potential leads once our snow all melts. We just got like 8” dumped on us last night lol
