Purchasing a Tree Transplanter
“New vs. Used”
When contemplating the purchase of tree transplanting
equipment it is important to remember the specialized
nature of the tree moving business. The public is not as
aware of “tree moving” as they are of say, stump grinding
or tree trimming. This fact is one of the main reasons why
“Image” is so important in Tree Transplanting. This
equipment and what it does is highly specialized and
should be presented as such.
When starting and maintaining a business, the
professionalism that one presents can be the difference
between success and failure. Or stated another way;
between having a prosperous business and one that never
really gets off the ground. An essential part of this
professional image is equipment that is clean, well
maintained and properly adjusted. The operator should be
knowledgeable about the equipment as well as the trees
that he is moving. He should present an image of neatness
in dress and equipment. Smoking exhaust, oil leaks and
filthy clothes are a sure fire way of undermining
yourself, your business and the legitimacy of your
mission.
Our most successful customers follow these basic
guidelines. They are neat, their equipment is new or
nearly new and they charge a fee that is commensurate with
their level of professionalism. So, when thinking about
starting a business, remember that getting started on the
right foot is essential. First impressions ARE important!
That’s why we recommend that you start with NEW equipment
and a Professional approach. It’s your surest avenue to
long term success.
