Right on guys, thanks for the responses. Still in the very preliminary stages of this venture, considering everything very heavily before diving headlong into anything. The area is booming and money is here, just not 100% sure about anything (Nor will I ever be, surely). Mostly looking into structuring a business at the moment, got a good local mechanic who knows the machine (fixed it since it was new) that gives me a good rate, a list of potential clients (haven't contacted anyone......yet!) and a list of long shots, financing, and insurance/licensing requirements for the area. I know a skid steer and a truck are the more conventional ways of starting, but every local joe's already got one of them. Blades on the other hand........ well there's a few of them around too but we'll see!
