We buy the more expensive equipment we use regularly such as a small front end loader/backhoe, sod cutter and EZ trencher edger. All save an incrediable amount of man hours. We sub out or rent any other big ticket equipment. I don't want the storage, insurance or monthly payments that go with anything else unless we can use it in at least 50% of our jobs. I frequent nurseries where I can drive in and drive out with what I want on a whim or that will deliver the day after I call. Service , service, service from those I buy from saves us time and money. I have found over the years that paying my bills ahead of or on time establishes a relationship of great service from suppliers. I agree with Site on doing what you do well and leave the rest to others. Henry Ford once said " I don't have to know how to do everything. I just surround myself with people who do." It works in small companies as well as large.
