I found your information to both well thought out and very helpful but I'm wondering if perhaps I've missed something.  You indicated that two of the skid steer guys that you refer your customers to have added 2 or more machines, presumably in response to heavy demand.  One would expect that profit was the reason the additional machines were required.  On the other hand, there appears to be some resistance to the notion that profit of perhaps $65.00 is sufficient to even warrant loading the skid steer on the trailer.  Being a prospective skid steer entrepreneur myself I would be quite pleased with a realized profit of $65 for an hours work but I'm not at all certain that I could survive for very long unless that $65 per hour was generated every hour of every day for most of the week.If I could produce $65 profit per hour for 5 hours every day... assuming at least 4 days per week... I could live with $1300 per week profit, but if I could only book a few jobs per week then I could not survive for very long. In your experience, what would you estimate the actual potential to be?  In other words... is it reasonable to assume that a skid steer guy would get 5 jobs per week?  10?  20?  How many driveway jobs do you refer on a weekly basis?Thanks</blockquote>
