Great tips brother! But quick question! How long those big yards with 2 + acres take you? 2.5 hours for (5) 30 minutes small yards. $250/2.5= $100hrs

I'm getting a Bad Boy Revolt demo'd at my house next week and thinking about buying one for next Spring. Thanks for the video and for the one doing the overgrown yard. Incidentally, I grew up in Columbus, MS, so not too far from you! I'm in Illinois now, still wondering what happened.

@Yogiraj1969 19 күн бұрын

Just out of curiosity why didn't you use the Bad Boy to mow the banks? It looks like it should be able to handle it without much slippage. But it is hard to judge the angle from video.

@coleheigle 4 күн бұрын

The angle was steep but it could have done it. I just didn’t want to because of rocks and wash outs close to the road and didn’t want to take the chance and mess something up

Hey Cole, great video. Thanks for the content. I purchased the Exmark 36 Metro and I’m out here in GA starting my landscaping company. I’m curious to know, what you charged for this job. And how do you go about your pricing? My thoughts is if you took 6-6.5 hours. Not sure how much the mulch and plants were. Im guessing perhaps $200. And with your labor x 2 with you and Eli. $600-650. I’m thinking total price is $800. Am I crazy or is that about right?😊

@coleheigle 22 күн бұрын

You’re close, but everyone charges different in this industry! Basically I have a set price per yard of mulch I buy and charge for plants plus to pick them up from nursery! Then bed prep, spraying, planting for this particular landscape was all charged hourly. Good rule of thumb if you have an employee I’ve learned to charge per man hour whatever you pay him say $15 per hour you need to at least make $60 per hour for just him which is 25%. Then the same for yourself

Yo, I just got myself a Toro Grandstand HDX with the 31hp Kaw 52" cut, and it's a monster! I was originally set on getting a Badboy Revolt, but multiple dealers talked me out of it. Apparently, the company's support and availability are so bad that dealers are dropping the line. I waited three whole weeks for the dealer's rep to bring me a unit, but he never showed up. He kept saying he had one, then he was looking for one. I saw firsthand the issues they're having.
