I am new to the industry as of the first of the year. I am focusing on residential landscape design and installation. So far I am doing everything by hand (and back).
I've heard claims that "minis" do the work of two men or more. (Which sounds like a sales pitch or a line from 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas').
Is there a quick&dirty way to calculate if it's cost efficient to buy one of these "minis". Keep in mind that in our area of the country (Houston TX) day labor is relatively inexpensive. How high do your labor costs have to be to cost-justify replacing a worker (or two) with a machine?
