    good business sense?

    One of my closest friends has all kinds of nice equipment and makes a good living for himself. Unless it's for a good friend or family member he won't take his machines / trucks out for less than $800 per day. That's only for his 555 NH backhoe, 550 JD track loader, LS180 skid steer w/ w/o...
