Welcome to the forum leftyokie. :usa

If you put in one more post you'll be off probationary status and have access to the forums features.

What kind of equipment do you have to perform the work?

thanks

i am in the building stage. i am researching equipment now, im looking to buy one skid steer, grapple bucket, tree shear, i would like to buy a mulching head but my budget may not allow that. over time i hope to be able to grow into more and larger equipment. i have been looking at the bobcat a300 for its aws feature if i was to get some yard jobs for minimal disturbance, but im really liking the asv's however they are pretty high. i am going to have to stay around 50k start up. thanks again. Jason

Hi Folks,
I think I found this site while Googleing around for The Greatest Show On Tracks, maybe.
I am Dave and joined HEF recently and enjoy most of what I read here and I am learning plenty also. I joined O.E. Local 3 in 1957 and am still paying dues. I worked my way from a cat skinner to a project manager so I guess I did ok. The first time I ran a dozer with a johnson bar I thought I had the world by the tail.

Same here, first I ever ran. 1949 D6 9u, same age as I am... lol
I was about 5 years old. Uncle owns it now, still runs and occasionally in use.

Welcome aboard, dozerdave... :thumbsup

Retired from a desk job. The only equipment time I have is on a farm tractor with a loader, but I don't think that counts much. I am looking to buy an excavator and wheel loader to help out on my folks ranch.
