I would just like to show the community what my sale at the time $COST (-0,14%) sale went into.

In hindsight, I would do it again at any time.

The good piece was rented almost continuously for the last 3 weeks at 60€ per day.

This weekend I'm going to do a bit of work in the garden myself 🏗 or remove an unnecessary strip of grass from the barn.

Every child's dream. To drive an excavator.

@Tenbagger2024 I think there were more fathers than children here today to have a look or to ride for themselves😄

Perhaps a gap in the market.
An hour's excavator ride at the funfair or fair

Jannik@jaheu

Get 10 of them and you'll have a Tenbagger!

Not at all off-topic in my opinion.

Femke@femkelbn

We also have a 2.7 tonner. 🥰 You simply can't do without it.

•

Enrique@Dividenden_Monteur

@femkelbn also a Kubota?

•

Femke@femkelbn

@Dividenden_Monteur Jap. ☺️

•

Enrique@Dividenden_Monteur

@femkelbn A good friend of mine also has the 2.7T, as he does landscaping work.
When I picked up my little one, he drove past me with his excavator.
You have to show who has the bigger one...
Just village life 🙆‍♂️🤣

•

Femke@femkelbn

@Dividenden_Monteur It's no different for us, haha! 😂 And if the neighbor has a new wheel loader, then of course you need a new one too - one size bigger, of course. 😌

•

Tenbagger2024@Tenbagger2024

$6326 Maybe wait for a bottom to form. Are you satisfied?

•

Enrique@Dividenden_Monteur

@Tenbagger2024 yes very much.
Incidentally, Kubota also sells its diesel engines to no-name excavator manufacturers.
The little one already has power for its size

I have seen that they will grow again over the next few years. Maybe the share price should turn around soon. Great valuation and perhaps an alternative to Deere and Caterpillar.
Thanks for the inspiration.

Huhu, what did you pay for that one? :)

@PiHu 8000 at a forced sale

Walter@Tellotellz

How exactly do you rent out the excavator? On which side and when do you think it armotized?

••

“Klaatu_Barada_Nikto!“@Ash

@Tellotellz I would also find that interesting. And is this more of a seasonal business or a year-round rental? And what is the bottom line after maintenance, repairs etc... of the €60 per hour?

••

Enrique@Dividenden_Monteur

@Tellotellz via classified ads.
With 135 rental days it would be paid for.
After that, I would only need around 15 rental days a year to cover the cost of possible spare parts such as chains and hydraulic hoses.

••

Enrique@Dividenden_Monteur

@Ash I do the maintenance and repairs myself, in case something comes up.
The biggest issue would be a broken chain, as they are only made of rubber.
It runs on a naturally aspirated diesel engine which is very easy to maintain.

There are people who buy a demolition hammer to go with the mini excavator, but they then have higher costs, as the forces acting on the excavator during concrete work are completely different.

I only add 3 buckets, which is enough for most people.

Yes, it's seasonal, in winter you can't dig up frozen ground with it, after all it's only 1.9 tons :)
You need something over 20 tons

•

Enrique@Dividenden_Monteur

@Ash and you have to mention that there are people who buy a car especially to bring it to the customer.
It's 1.9T + trailer, so you're up to 2.5T towing capacity.
I just have it on the trailer and people have to pick it up themselves.

Otherwise you would have to include that in the calculation.

•

Fynn@Fynn-

Interesting post! 😄
How have you set yourself up fiscally for this and how much time do you spend on customer contact, repairs etc.? :)
Always cool to see side hustles like this. But the issue of tax and time is still holding me back.
