you get what you pay for
Then doesnt that mean if you pay peanuts you get monkeys? Not really but I think Ive said a bit of this before. A bobcat can do the same job as a 950 cat loader, just not as quick , so they charge accordingly . If you care about what you do and how you do it, it may take that bit longer and look less productive, but the end product is exactly how you want it to be, and in the timber game I think that speaks chapters. There are cowboys in this game and they phase themselves out over time, Ive seen a few come and go. It is said that any monkey can cut timber,(almost), but not all know what they are looking at or how to look after it until it becomes a product. So pride yourself on your ability to try and read the logs in front of you and what product can be best recovered. Sell your knowledge so to speek,not just of your machine but of what you are trying to produce for the customer as well. And go the extra mile sometimes and take strip sticks and teach the customer how to look after the timber, youll be surprised how those customers WILL call you back.

That's really the only way hey Johnny - get a fella to give some numbers out, if he's above board the numbers will be good, if he's not he won't hand any out unless he's pretty new to things.....
I love my Lucas!! ...just ask me!

Can't go wrong. I 'm sure it's worked for youself in the past and will continue to do so becauce you are in it for the long run and your ability to feed the family depends on it.
cheers Alan
