Operations: How to Decide if It's Time for New Equipment


Listen Later

In this episode, we continue with Part II of our series on equipment with returning guest Seth Pflum, President of Grunder Landscaping. While we love seeing fleet pictures, we also believe that trucks and equipment are investments for the success of our company. By investing smartly in these tools, we can have the greatest returns. Tune in to hear Marty and Seth share how the team at Grunder Landscaping evaluates if a new, or additional, piece of equipment is needed and how its purchase could impact productivity.  If you missed Part I, there’s a link below in the resources section.

Discussion Points:

  • Thinking of your fleet as ‘assets’
  • Buying or replacing - tax deduction alone is not a reason
  • Keeping older vehicles for salting
  • The team involved in fleet decisions
  • Budgeting and efficiency
  • Paying overtime vs. hiring and buying more equipment
  • Smaller equipment life cycles
  • Mowers and mini skid steers
  • Using data to track your equipment life cycles
  • We love equipment, but is it going to make money?
  • The Grow Show podcast is sponsored by STIHL and brought to you by The Grow Group - a leading coaching and education firm for landscape professionals.
