Get your self a good head torch I would recommend petzl and it will help. But yes some lights on the machine would not hurt. Maybey some lights on the trailer/van on a switch so you can see easier to load/unload.

Not knowing your customer and your own circumstances. Would a day rate be possible? And give them a estimated number of days that way you shouldn't be out of pocket or break the job in to smaller chunks I.e. Roadside trees will be £..... Leaning trees £..... Other 2 trees £..... Also traffic management for one side of the road could make life easier for the crew.

Pricing is very specific to you or any other company /sole trader. Different people will different availability of kit different levels of kit. Some will look at a job and think my machine can tackle that easy. Others with out the machine. Will think by eck I need x number of guys on this. Overheads are another thing to think about. Do you have to rent a yard do you have your own place to dispose of arisings. Work out your overheads. Work out what you need to put bk in to the business and what you want for profit. And that is your price.

Art and science of practical rigging is a very good book. I have not read the other one. the imperial thing can be overcome with a bit of converting and creating a crib sheet of your own then laminating it.
