How do I Expand my Lawn Care Business? #2
What happens here
Before investing heavily in expensive excavation equipment, it's crucial to rent different types and models (e.g., skid loaders, mini hoes, tractor loader backhoes) to gain hands-on experience. This allows you to understand their capabilities, assess their suitability for various tasks, and ensure they 'feel good' to operate before making a significant purchase. The speaker recounts his own mistake of buying a TLB (tractor loader backhoe) and later realizing a Bobcat (skid loader) was much more versatile for his needs.
Goal: Gain practical experience with excavation equipment to make informed purchasing decisions.
Tools and materials
- Mini Hoe — Hardscaping projects and trenching in tight spaces
- Skid Loader — Versatile excavation tasks like grading, loading, and digging
- Tractor Loader Backhoe — Initial heavier duty work (though less versatile for landscape applications according to the speaker)
