The guy I work for owns processors and bunchers, so I run both. The money is decent, and 5 months off a year is good.
The 6 days a week, 13 hours a day gets tiring the other 7 months of the year.
My goal is to work till 50 and retire.....My plans rarely work out lol
Our first show is north of us up past bear lake this winter, that is a snow belt area, and they can realistically get 30 feet in a winter up there, so should be interesting.
My whole family is in the industry.
My sister runs road grader..........youngest brother is a hand faller.........and other brother is a self employed mobile repair man, that 99% of the time is out in the bush repairing equipment with his mobile service truck. I do the day to day servicing on whatever I am running........and sometimes extra work in the shop or yard at freeze/breakup seasons. I can sort of weld (no tickets) and sort of wrench okay.
Good at replacing normal wear items, like hydraulic hoses, chains and such.

I have it easy compared to you. 3 day workweek at 12 hrs. per. I wrench and weld on my stuff. Spend some time at the local wrecker helping the old fella out. I think he likes the company more than anything else. This makes my parts bill small cause it's normally if I need something I can have it. I have keys to the place which is nice.

Hi Steve.
So for someone who hates winter, why would I go look at these?
