New route for mulchers

I believe that large commercial clearing jobs are the way to go. Commercial jobs are going for $3-4K/acre with stump grubbing and a tub grinder. If you can get on a couple 30 or 40 acre jobs with a big machine you can pay it off. I have found that if your jobs are only 10 miles or less apart and you have rubber tires, a midnight move is the best option. Slap a rotating beacon on top and a chase truck and off you go.

As far as working on backyard jobs I really enjoy the security of knowing that I have a surplus of work for the next six months.

Soctt,

Everyone I know started small. Bill Gates started out in a basement (or somewhere similar). I am not knocking the small job model, my point here is if you are making back yard work your business model than you can definately be sucessful and make some money. I just prefer to go and sit on a job where I do not need to move every day. You have to take the good with the bad, I am working away from my family and have to fly home all of the time. If I were working locally I would be in my own bed every night.
