Build the request around the outcome
Describe the finished work, quantities and programme before you lock in a machine. A supplier can only judge suitability when the brief includes material conditions, access, operating space, delivery constraints and the expected work pattern. Treat attachments and supporting plant as part of one production system.
Compare rates with transport, minimum hours, operators, fuel, service response and return requirements all visible. For regional work, find out where the proposed unit is now.
