All start somewhere I suppose.

IMHO those microchippers are not ideal for a start up.

Ok for the odd minimum access job/through the house job admittedly.

You need a minimum of a TW125/GM130 to really pose any sort of threat to bigger firms.

I know people will say “it’s just to get me started till I can afford something better”

Whereas owning it is just preventing you from getting what you really need.

Good luck to him, at least he’s not a pikey.  We all start somewhere. 

What have you got to back that statement up?

 

I wasn't knocking the fella for putting a days work in, it just looks stupendous all piled on the roof rack. Push the chipper in the van and tow a trailer.

He could well be getting by doing the jobs the big boys just cant be arsed doing. Sometimes mopping up these jobs can be a good earner. Say £200-300 a day for the baby chipper, in 6 months the lads got the funds to get his GM130. Just depends on how hungry you are. If times on your side and your not a moany old cant then you can make that hunger and drive work for you. You can turn your vinegar into wine. :)

I might be moany and old, but every day I go to work with something you’ll never have.

We all know what a pikey looks like. He ain’t one.
