Tough Times?
Invest in YOUR business.
This may not be a good time to buy a new boat but consider some of the reasons it may be the best of times to invest in YOUR business.
The more efficient you can work, the more competitive you are and the more work you can get. The exchange rate is advantageous.
 Better tools- You can invest in tools that will assist you to work more efficiently. A bigger chipper, a winch, more power or maybe a powerful more compact chipper or a chipper on tracks.
Tier 4 engines are coming. These will start to show up sometime in 2012. Information about these engines is scarce at the moment. The one that I have seen had an electronic muffler and air cleaner. They are rumoured to be less powerful, consume more fuel and cost about 30% more. I am absolutely in favour of clean air but it might be a good idea to avoid the first go around of tier 4.
Worksafe BC. There are proposed changes to the Worksafe BC regulations for hand fed chippers. If they come into effect it will probably happen in February 2012. My guess is that chippers that are in service will be exempt, only chippers that go into service after Feb. 1st. will have to comply with the new regulations. We are ready for the change if it comes and we welcome anything that makes for a safer work place but there is bound to be an increase in cost.
A customer once told me that he never made any money until he invested in new equipment. Maybe this is the right time for you.
There is no substitute for the right tool for the job.
Give me a call.
All the best.
