Just had two people cancel on me after they told me to show up whenever I’m ready. Then two days or a week later they cancel.

I am a new member Veteran owner operator trying to get my way in to the market area. We are running payed adds now and have boosted our following and interactions about 100% just not getting quality out of our leads. Any ad on how to respond to the leads. Are y’all just calling everyone of them, or are you respond to the listed emails and waiting for a counter response? Any advice from the group?

I have locked in my pricing but was curious at what point to you guys give volume discounts and how much. Is it regular price for a job up to 3 acres and then you discount from there on for volume or where do you start? And then what is a typical reduction in price? 15%? Less, more?

Super excited 15 acres. Some trees are staying. Hopefully I can land my first job.

Hey guys! Long time no talk. So I’ve been pretty fortunate the last two months as far as jobs/work booked. I’ve completed around 50k worth of work in the last two months, my goal at the beginning was 15k a month so this is outstanding! But I’ve got a problem. I’m running a Bobcat T770 with a ShearX 61” mulching head. I’ve NEVER had any heat soaking issues, but we’ve also been fortunate to not have 90° weather. Except this week. I was in the middle of a job yesterday and the machine threw “High engine compartment heat” code 3 different times shutting me down each time. I religiously clean the cooling packs every morning, clean the screens and all multiple times a day. I rinse out the rads every weekend and all. It’s not a buildup issue. I contacted my dealer (who’s been a nightmare since the start, will not purchase anything from them again) and I’ve contacted the guy I bought the mulcher from. He’s an experienced mulching head dealer with 2 machines of his own. Dealer didn’t say much, mulching head guy said to get rooftop cooler. My question is, do any of you have a Roof Top cooler and how much do you think it actually helps? Like I said, I’ve never had this problem yet with my T770 but I believe the Hydro system is heat soaking the engine compartment in this hot weather mixed with the heat the mulcher creates. A rooftop cooler is roughly $6,600 so I’m asking for real world results and opinions from people that may have experienced this. Thanks!
