Hello mate. Welcome to the forum

Hello mate. Welcome. You arent far from me and a few others on here.....look out for the reccy climbing thread for southwest arbs- we are trying to sort one out at the mo.

[Stephen Blair]

Hi Stevie, thanks for the advice, ive got some re-learning to do and some money to spend, im all for modernising and making life that little bit easier, youre a big fan of small chippers(ive seen some of your other posts/threads)do you use a larger chipper as well or does gloria do all your chip work?I like the idea of minimal brush dragging and saving on labour costs, reckon i'll be speaking to Jonesie in the near future.

 

Cheers buddy:thumbup:

 

just gloria mate, in the last 6 months i have owned a 10",7" and 12"x18" chipper. and i have opted for gloria nearly every time. no point having a big chipper if you dont have the boddies to drag to it, i even got an avant loader in to feed the monster bandit. but by the time i divided up the £400 and chipped everything and took away 5 monster loads in a high sided ifor. i thought whats the point. i could have done the job myself with gloria, soread some chips and taken away a lot of firewood.

 

Gloria paid for herself in under a month with 2 jobs. and at a higher profit margin on each job. oh and i did them wearing shorts, shades and used a silky and loppers, drank a lot of coffee and worked 6 hour days (5 in total over 3 weeks) doesnt take a genius mate to do the math.

Thanks Steve, i can see your point it makes masses of sense especially for someone like me coming back into the industry to minimise expenditure-cheers, by the way youve got some fantastic bits of kit in your armoury im v jealous:thumbup:
