Good video of tree removal

yea thats an intense video! Makes me wonder semi think about getting into the trade lol.

 

If you had an extra 5 0r 6 hundred thousand you could buy a set up like this and make a killing. My tree guy had me watch this a couple of weeks ago. Amazing once the equipment is paid off you only need one employee. Even at $200.00 a day for the employee that tree had to cost the customer 2 to 3 thousand to have it removed. Not a bad days work and not much time. At the rate he is going he could do 10 jobs a week figuring 4 hours per job.

 

So true and the biggest mistake my parents, being from the old country taught me was that you work hard and you can make a good living. So untrue the way things are today people like Farmers kill themselves to barely survive. But it's hard to teach an old dog like myself new tricks.

 

I'm not afraid of many things in life, but I'd have to think long and hard on whether I want the topper job in that outfit. Not my cup of tea.

Chopy, I respectfully disagree with your statement. Some of the most wealthiest people I know are farmers. Farmers around me are barely surviving in 4000 sq/ft houses, $70,000 loaded pick up trucks and they keep adding 5000sq/ft pole buildings like they are going out of style, gobbling up tracks of land bigger than I could even phathom owning...last two deals I know of were cash deals, no finance. I suppose things might be different in other parts of the country, but the ones I know...ain't poor.

In any case, money sure helps, but hard work and some smarts is even better. You can work hard all you want, but if your spending your money wrong, your working yourself to death for nothing. I have a friend who works is tail off - 80 hour weeks most times. He started with absolutely nothing, now owns 3 small companies. He lives far under his means and reinvests his earnings on things that make him money. He just turned 30 and is very close to becoming a millionaire. Money isn't the deciding factor.

 

Thanks swags , now I know what I want to do when I grow up.

 

Not sure what part of the country you are in Sawdog but here in upstate NY you don't see too much wealth in the farming industry. This might be due to the fact that the farms are much smaller. As with anything the big get bigger and the small shrink away. I have never chased money my biggest concern was being content and after some medical problems I had, it became health. I have Youtubed things like Harvesting corn. There is no doubt that there is big money in bigger farms.
