Careful now or you'll be called "little", "bitter" and "jealous" like I was when I made a similar comment about another £65k mog.

Would you buy yours again Dean, with a similar breakdown to how you did the chipper breakdown of costs do you find it worthwhile? Appreciate it's not an open and shut questions as some jobs you'll only have been able to do with the mewp etc...

If I remember Rob, the payments were £600 per month and I charged £350 per day with operator. So in effect two hires a month paid for the machine and I got free use of it.

 

The only way you get £350 a hire is to have a unique machine, the rqg18 is a good machine with good capabilities. In effect the hirer gets an operator that can do the job for them, all they needed to do was supply ground staff.

 

You would need to be able to hire to other tree surgeons which is now much easier with such as Arbtalk. I reckon if I had the gahooners to go for a Teupen at £65K and pushed it I could get hires off local and not so local tree surgeons through networking such as this

 

One thing I used to get which I didn't persue was gutter cleaning on factories at £400 per day. Factories normally have a clause on their insurances that require them to have their gutters cleaned once per year.

 

The rqg18 did pay for itself but there was always that worry about having enough work in for it. In fact other tree surgeons hired it in and used it more than I did. But there are lots of uses for it which makes jobs much easier like ringing down large stems from a basket rather than off spikes, outer crown reductions, large wide conifer reductions, dead tree removals etc etc
