i get most of my domestic work through yellow pages (golden pages over here). i think older generation still refer to it and most mature trees are owned by over 50s. expensive but does the job

we run a jensen A240 with crane fed feed funnel. mostly used for brash and whole conifers. works great off fiat f140. thinking of changing for engine driven

do you mind me asking how long are you having to wait? from an objective point of view, maybe the guy is genuinely having a tough time of it. things are much different to five years ago. anyone can go through a rough spell with cashflow.

i like the stumpgrinder idea but best to try personal visit route, polite calm and businesslike. angry scenes and big gestures may cost you other work elsewhere. the type of person who will not pay their bills will think nothing of spreading lies to justify themselves and damage your reputation. slow payers are a fact of life,unfortunately. 6 months is not at all unusual in ireland. i find monthly statements,polite phone reminders,and personal visits wears them down in the end. as a professional and and a business person,how you present yourself and behave in difficult situations can be the diffirence between success and failure.

i think it costs alot to repair those insulated hoists when they fail their electricity insulation test even though they may be otherwise perfect. thats why they are often sold off while they are still in good order. ideal for avenues etc imo

-
win 100% too cheap. win 20%either too expensive or maybe other issues (reputation,presentation etc)50%+ pretty good i would think. just trying to contribute. is that a problem ?
-
self explanatory ,i would think
-
was told by both utilities project supervisor and by client who runs marketing company that 60% is a healthy ratio
