I'm Sorry but a few things I have found thru 30+ years of landscaping, When Jeff bought his machine $60K in work was a lot different than $60K in work now days. Inflation has somthing to do with that, When I started posting on the net, 10+ years ago I figured a man to do $100K in gross sales, now day I would expect that number to be closer $150K in gross sales. I know closer but I'm semi retired now and my consulting did $60K in work last year part time.
It's really nice to figure your machine is going to cost you $350 per month, wait we forgot insurance, fuel, maintance, replacement cost, replacment parts, and other overhead. If you go back and read my posts I'm all for having equipment! If you look closly you'll see that I had all sorts of equipment. But I don't think you have reached that point yet (labor you use once, machine you you have forever). It's still you doing the labor right now and rental is not killing you, your back maybe, but out of pocket wise your in good shape.
