[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 3778, member: 307"] Hawg Sounds like you well set up and ready to roll. Have you tried all the pieces out yet? What did you prefer about the tree terminator compared to quick attaches shear? What do you think abut the hydro drive brusher? They are a little less of a animal the a pto drive one, but I personally like the way it stops when I hit a stump. As for customers, at times they can be hard to find enough of, but they do tend to grow with a good reputation. One thing I learned shortly after I started out was not to try and price yourself too cheaply. For me it does not seem that a low price generated more work, people do not seem to “want more done” if they feel the price is good. It seems more like they decide to do something or need something done and expect it to cost whatever. I did several jobs to cheaply when I started out and mostly it was ok, but I had once where my equipment let me and the customer down, They would have liked a discount for this reason but I felt I had bid it rock bottom to start. Later I wished I had asked for more to start with and would have left myself some room to compensate for the (inevitable) unforeseen problems. Regards Ken [/QUOTE]
