@@joshuariggelsen6224 I love to hear it! Wright makes a solid machine. And with those huge tires you can hold just about any hill! 💪🏻

@@tcgphanatic 42k but yes still a lot! Definitely a big investment but it has been well worth the money so far 🙏🏻

@feldmanslawnandlandscape you're going to have to get 40-80 jobs this size to pay it off let alone pay for your bills outside of this debt. I guess if you budget properly you can balance bills and payment butsmy worry would be keeping consistent work enough to fulfill your requirement. any tips on keeping work flowing in?

@@tcgphanatic That’s a great question! I’m thinking about doing a more extensive video about creating consistent work for your business. The short answer for me is that my business takes care of around 150 lawn care clients a week, and they typically come to me if they need any sort of landscaping project completed (I try really hard to keep a great relationship with each client). This gives me constant work flow and the ability to choose which jobs I want to take on. There is something to be said about being the first person a client thinks of when they need a project taken care of!

@@richardbejarano8795 Can’t go wrong with Kubota! Loving the Kubota diesel they put in the Jackal. Send me a picture when you pull the trigger on it! I’d love to see it!

@@vincepoloncarz806 Can’t even tell you how many times they’ve saved my butt when something has broken down! They’re some of the best people I know 🙏🏻

@@vincepoloncarz806 It certainly is!

@@GriffinServices I’m glad you’re enjoying the mower! I am sure it will serve you well for years to come. Have a great fall my friend! 💪🍂

It’s truly been incredible! I’m going to be posting a more in depth 30 hour review within the next 2 weeks 👍

@feldmanslawnandlandscape Thanks for the reply, and I will be looking forward to the review. How hard is it getting in and out of the dump trailer?

@@jeffreyguay259 I’d say it’s actually pretty easy getting it in and out of the trailer! A little sketchy the first time or two, but once you do it a couple times you get that confidence and it’s clockwork! 👍

Just taking my turns super wide to avoid ripping up the grass! Don’t want to waste profits putting down unnecessary topsoil/grass seed!

@@feldmanslawnandlandscape makes sense :)

@@raulmedina6960 boom roasted

@@kerronemmanuel2545 Yes it does! You can absolutely run all of those attachments 👍

@@almangrant7358 yessir!

@@Floodking007 Agreed. I’m excited to get my hands on the nano battery. I haven’t tried that yet!

@@gregl7597 Don’t worry, my bubble is still in tact! It is made in the USA and I am very happy with this addition to my fleet/business. I did extensive research on the Chinese minis and I was not impressed. That being said, everyone has a different mindset when purchasing equipment and regardless of us disagreeing on value for money in this instance, I still wish you nothing but the best with your business and your mini skid! Go make that money!

@@feldmanslawnandlandscape LOL This is not adding up...but you have a good life

@@765Guys I appreciate the tip and will try that going forward! Thanks man!

@@kalibmilner877 Thankfully this is a five year loan (60 months) with no interest and the monthly payment is much lower than that (because I chose to put money down). When I purchase a piece of equipment for my business, I always choose the product that is the highest quality (materials, build quality, engineering, etc.). I definitely looked into the Chinese machines when making my decision because they are priced so low. Unfortunately, the engineering, durability, cheap materials, and overall quality were not to the standard I wanted. I truly wish you nothing but the best of luck with your machine though and hope it makes you a lot of money!

@@feldmanslawnandlandscape Hey man, I give you props you’re busy enough and you obviously work hard enough to own equipment like that. It just blows my mind when people say skilled trades are down and then pieces of equipment are so expensive and mostly out of reach for people trying to get in the trade, definitely not your fault. I’m sure the machine is top quality. But it’s like come on man. We’re Americans trying to do work and make money not spend money every month for an ex amount of years. Anyways, thanks for the response. Will continue to watch.

@@kalibmilner877 I appreciate the kind words and definitely see where you’re coming from. Equipment prices have skyrocketed (especially in recent years) and it’s tough to toe the line between going into debt to grow/support your business, and wanting to make money as quickly as possible without spending a ton to get there. If you make any videos/social media content with your machine (and attachments) I’d love to see it and the work you do! I’m routing for you brother, and I appreciate your support 🙏🏻

@@Bmx4Rizzo He’s awesome! 🤠

@@tractorworkandmore411 Thank you! I was happy with the outcome too. Definitely will be looking into that hydra bucket. I’ve heard great things!

What did you charge?

you need a stump grinder attachment and a land plane. both will speed up and add work . nice job. currently I'm shopping for a stump grinder. bauma lite, skid pro erskine, many to choose from.

@@firstname6208 I’ve definitely thought about getting a stump grinder. Hopefully in the near future! Let me know what you decide on! 🙏🏻

@@JonathanAshworth50 I charged hourly for this job (plus materials and hauling away debris). Most guys in my area charge between $100-$150 an hour for these types of jobs with mini skids.

@@Parks3876 Yessir!! 🙏🏻

@@dvdgnzlz25 Mini skids are the best. They pack a lot of punch and you can take them to practically any job site! Congrats on the Wacker man! Go make that money 💰💰

@@ern48 Thank you very much! 😂🙏🏻

@@osvaldoquintero72 Love to hear it!! 😄👍 Let me know how you like the machine!

@@georgezhou7961 Scag is made in America! If it’s quality and built over here, I’ll always try to support our economy. I did some research on the Chinese mini skids, but their build quality, lift capacity, speed and durability didn’t come anywhere close to the Jackal. Definitely a scenario where you get what you pay for.

@@abrahamwestmoreland7241 You too my friend!

@@wysurvivor Next time I’ll look into it 🤣🤘

@@kressnorthamerica Thank you! It’s truly been our pleasure using this equipment! 🙏🏻

@@robotlawnmowersaustralia7913 Thank you! At the end of the season, I plan on running all of the numbers comparing the fuel cost of our gas run crew and our crew with the Kress equipment. I have already been able to see a pretty noticeable difference with fuel cost savings! 🙏🏻 Right now in Western New York, our price for gas is in the $3-$4 range (USD/gallon) depending on where you go. I appreciate you tuning into the channel and letting me know about gas costs in your area!

@@tractorworkandmore411 It’s one of the many joys of being in this industry! 👏🏻👏🏻

@@johnsmith-wd5sq I hope to meet him someday too!

@@johnsmith-wd5sq I really appreciate it man! Actually riding on the machine makes a huge difference, especially over the span of a long day! Lots more to come 🙏🏻

@@zackeryarnett9454 It can hold 12 gallons at full. That entire job took me about 8-9 hours and I used less than half a tank 😄🙏🏻

@@castloadersusa Thank you! Plenty more to come 👍

@@EverythingElliott Go Bills!!! 💪🏻❤️💙

@@balamala2647 Thanks for letting me know! I’ll keep that in consideration for future videos.

@@feldmanslawnandlandscape What I meant to type is that I would like to see a mix of music but I also want to hear how the jackal sounds sometime during the video.

@@castloadersusa Thank you!!

@@kevinburola889 They are pretty heavy, BUT! when they’re in the units the balance is great. You definitely don’t notice the weight as much as I thought you would 👍

@@tractorworkandmore411 I’m definitely impressed so far. Can’t wait to put it through its paces 🚜😀

@@feldmanslawnandlandscape can’t wait to see the videos on it and possibly any issue you may encounter with the machine because I know most manufacturer have their own issue sometimes

@@tractorworkandmore411 Absolutely! Hoping to have a video ready very soon on my initial thoughts.

Definitely a big price tag! But new Dingo tx1000’s are around 48,000 at a dealer close to me and Bobcat MT100’s are around 42,000 at my local dealer. Just the going rate I guess. However with all the attachments and how much you can do with these machines, it is very easy to justify the price tag with the revenue it generates!

Where are you located?

I purchased a comparable machine the ir 1000. Had 104 hours, Kubota diesel, Italian hyd pump, parker wheel motors, 83" pin height. Joy stick controls, weight kit, turf tracks. Cid bucket. Out the door $21k.

@@firstname6208 We’re located in the Buffalo, NY south towns!

@@firstname6208 Congrats on the new machine too! That sounds like a great investment. I’m sure it will make you tons of money! 💪🏻💪🏻

Very good point! The only reason I might, is to keep the business’ debt to income ratio favorable just in case I want to finance another piece of equipment! 0% interest is awesome though and it definitely takes the pressure off 🙏🏻

@@feldmanslawnandlandscape That could make sense if needed, but if you’re buying this kind of equipment your income should be high enough from charging the appropriate rates that you can finance multiple pieces of equipment at a time, as long as the monthly payments are easily met, including in the off season. Having low debt is great, but utilizing 0 percent interest properly is also important as long as you’re not over extending yourself.

@@WhiteOakNW Very well said! It’s always a juggling act keeping the clients, your team, your banker, and your wife happy! 😂👍

They take a 4 amp and 11 amp battery. Both are very impressive!

I charge $120 per yard installed! That does not include edging, weeding, or delivery.

I’ll make sure to do that with future projects! 👍
