ASV Dirt Work House Site Part II 

Glad you enjoyed it!

Live right up the mountain from you in Hville👍👍

Thanks Eric, I'm ready to see some video of you machine running!

All ASV drive sprockets make clatter noise. It’s the roller inside of a roller positive drive. Mostly noticeable from outside the machine.

Scott Linn Was asking about there experience with new machine

Cookies Services well, I work at the factory. I hear them daily coming off the assembly line. I hear them running on the test stand. Yes, they clatter. I also have done many pre-shipment operational functions tests. Barely noticeable inside the cab. It’s a small “price” you pay to have an internally positive drive system that you would have to totally neglect maintenance on to get a track derailment.

Plastic undercarriage instead of heavy duty steel

WPOG84 Jon had stated before that you can feed mulcher so you have a controlled work area plus it wouldn’t be safe to work in the same area without a cab. Check out Vbelt and son they have a similar operation

@@cookiesservices4552 yeah I mentioned that in my question and that's actually why I asked it. Under average circumstances just feeding a mulcher will not justify a $65k machine. Like Jon, I would not charge by the hour for anything, but on that mini-ex, I would have to gross at least $200 per machine hour minimum for it to be worth it, especially on specialty work. At that rate, you cannot charge the combined price of hiring both machines for a forestry mulching job in most areas of the U.S. .... especially the South. Im guessing that he bought the mini ex to diversify and offer a variety of services and helping out the mulcher is just a plus of having it. I was asking him how he did that?

Yeah I know he has said that he figured so much per hour but having a three man crew he must be figuring by the job or at least that’s how I would figure it. Some people don’t wannabe bothered with cost and just want it done. Doesn’t work that way for me tho

@@cookiesservices4552 yeah me neither.

In my opinion, they go hand in hand, it's a team. We are 60-70% more efficient having the excavator, and that makes it worth it. I charge by the job, not by the hour.
