Struck Equipment
When it comes to landscaping or maintaining a property, the larger the land, the greater the expenses and challenges, especially if you don’t have the right equipment to help you get jobs done.
That’s exactly what Thomas, our customer, was up against. He owned a property that was a mix of working farms and recreational areas and he didn’t have the right equipment to maintain it by himself.
If you’ve ever been in a similar situation…
You know how expensive it is to regularly hire a contractor.
You know how much of a hassle it is to constantly borrow equipment from somebody.
And you know how stressful it is to constantly make every improvisation possible to do jobs with your current equipment.
So, just like most of our customers, Thomas had a similar goal — completing jobs with one machine and on his schedule, without paying contractors.
Because of this deep desire to finally do jobs himself using his own equipment, Thomas’s family heard him saying for years “All I want for Christmas is a bulldozer”.
When he discovered that the MH8500 fits the bill of what he’s looking for, which is a versatile piece of equipment that’s reasonably priced, he took the opportunity and things quickly changed.
For his very first major project with the MH8500, Thomas tackled a long-standing issue. He replaced a troublesome 12-inch field tile standpipe that had been broken for several years. And with his new dozer, he effortlessly dug out about a foot of sod and clay soil to extend their concrete driveway. The MH8500 came to the rescue again, prepping the area with gravel for the upcoming concrete work.
Thomas didn’t stop there. He moved on to his next project: tearing down an old 30 x 30 pole barn and preparing the area for a brand-new barn that is currently under construction. In this project, the MH8500 and a trusty nail puller became his primary tools.
But Thomas’s tasks extended beyond just the farm. He used the MH8500’s capabilities to its fullest. With this versatile machine, he developed a mile-long trail around their lake, curving through the woods, hills, and hollers of southern Indiana.
In a little over a year, Thomas managed to put quite a bit of money back in his pocket. He estimated that he saved approximately $25,000 by taking matters into his own hands and not relying on costly contractors. It was a significant sum, and it spoke volumes about the impact of having the MH8500 by his side.
Thomas loved everything about his MH8500 that he couldn’t stop singing its praises. One thing that really stood out for him was how easy it was to use. The learning curve was short, and the operation was a breeze. And lastly, he said that the power it packed is excellent for its horsepower and size.
He summed up his feelings about his equipment with a touch of humor, saying, “You will know if I am dead or in financial trouble if you see my Struck M8500 for sale because I won’t part with it willingly.”
He even teased, “My wife says I love it more than her. Well, it’s a pretty close call.”
