Why forestry kit is hard to quote
A forestry mulcher is only half a product. The other half is the machine it goes on: a tractor, excavator or skid steer with a particular flow, pressure and coupling. Quote a mulcher without those details and the order goes back and forth with the manufacturer before anything is built. Most forestry kit is priced in euros, too.
Machine and coupling details captured on the quote
When a salesperson quotes forestry equipment, DigDealer asks for the details that matter: the host machine, its hydraulics and the coupling. They are saved with the quote line, printed on the quotation PDF and carried through to the order, so the manufacturer has a buildable spec on day one.
- Host machine make, model and type
- Hydraulic and coupling details per line
- Standard equipment listed with the model
- Details carried from quote to order
Imported price lists, handled
Forestry manufacturers are often in Spain, Italy, Finland or Germany. DigDealer converts their euro price lists at your rate, adds freight and PDI, and applies your markup, so the salesperson quotes in pounds with the margin protected. See euro price lists.
Quoting on estates and in woodland
Forestry customers are rarely next to a good phone mast. DigDealer's offline quoting keeps the catalogue on the tablet, and the customer can sign in person before you drive away. Forestry dealers who also sell rotators and grapples should see attachment dealers, and those selling into farms agricultural machinery dealers.
