Four Ideas For Earning Big Bucks With Big Equipment This Spring
Spring is in full swing! With days getting longer and temperatures on the rise, it’s time for land clearing professionals to break out their equipment and prepare for a productive – and profitable – season. Make the most of your time and tools with these four revenue-generating ideas from Diamond Mowers: Spring Cleaning. Among the biggest opportunities for land clearing pros during Spring is cleaning up the mess that Winter left behind. In northern regions, brush and debris become trapped beneath layers of snow. Large estates may need fields cleared of fallen, dead, or hazardous trees. “After the snow is gone and before ground foliage comes in is the best opportunity to see exactly what is on the ground,” notes Matt Nelson, director of Development at Diamond Mowers. “This clear line of sight helps operators avoid hitting rocks and other obstructions while mulching and clearing.” Employ a brush cutter to slice through grass, brush, branches, and trees to keep land neat and manicured and prevent weeds from sprouting. To clear large expanses of land, opt for the speed and productivity of a disc mulcher. Its distinctive disc design stores energy and combines it with hydraulic power to enable operators to slice and process trees and brush in their path. Removing Invasive Plant Species.

Three Winter Work Ideas For Mulchers & More
Despite freezing temperatures and limited daylight, Winter is the perfect time to expand your service offerings and ensure a steady income. Instead of stowing away mulchers and equipment until Spring, consider ways to grow profits with these three revenue-generating ideas from Diamond Mowers: 1. Land Clearing Winter can be one of the better times for land clearing because frozen temperatures make the ground solid and provide better support for heavy equipment. Additionally, precipitation and runoff occur less frequently, and many plant species are dormant, reducing environmental damage caused by erosion and aggressively cutting back invasive vegetation. Cold weather also helps keep engine and hydraulic temperatures cool during the all-day jobs that are common in land clearing. “The sooner you begin this process, the more time you will have to fully prepare a property for Spring projects,” said Matt Nelson, director of development at Diamond Mowers. “This way, you can commit more time surveying the land and devising a plan for landscaping, planting, and building.” Utilize a brush cutter to slice through grass, brush, branches, and trees effectively. This utility tool keeps land neat and manicured, warding off tall brush and invasive plant species, trimming branches, and removing brush. A disc mulcher’s speed and productivity are particularly well-suited for clearing large expanses of land and excel at cutting through thicker trees. Drum mulchers, on the other hand, are an excellent choice for small trees and brush. For more on disc mulchers vs. drum mulchers, click here. 2. Tree Removal There are ...
