Raking it in!

Does that include the French being called the most backward nation in the world? I'd find that offensive personally.

That's how to run your business, assessment and future planning. Good news hope all goes well.

Always good to hear someone is working hard & doing well, can't begrudge a man that.

I'm sure this is a balanced approach... The grinding machine as part of your kit is a large outlay...

The hire costs are reasonable so I'd be looking at number crunching and see what best for your business needs.. also size of machine is very dependant on contact requirements. Domestic work is very varied when it comes to access to work zone so unless you have a swiss army grinder then I'd look at hire machines and still make you money without the hassle of servicing maintenance ect.... Also you can hire the right machine for the task....

 

As a city based Arborist I have a number of hire options so this work for me, maybe different fo you are based miles from a specialist hire shop.

As for the French insult... I'm sure they won't loose any sleep over the francophobia... They are a very self assured nation (similar to us British) that don't need to react to mindless generalizations about their culture and systems... Hence they have not adopted the English (American) language unlike a lot of Europeans and the rest of the world... I respect them for that.....

If that has offended you, then please do accept it.

[Ty Korrigan]

I have no idea where Nick Watkins is coming from or even going too...

Some people just hate it when others do well and I think we have one here boys!

The number of French or expats who would read posts on this forum number few to none and those in my working range even fewer.

As for offering clients a win win situation... I offer a price, client takes it, I do a good job, client is satisfied, I get paid therefore, I win they win!

IF they didn't like my prices they'd vote with their wallets.

I just wanted to share the success of this little grinder with others having also had similar success with a wee chipper.

If that gets up Nicks nose then 'Chouette' as the French say.

Well good on ya Ty for bucking the trend and spilling the beans about doing well, it seems to be a big NO NO these days for some reason

 

The investment in a bench grinder so you can sharpen your stump teeth will pay for its self time and time again and also if you run with an Iveco tipper do what i did and board out a pair of old ladders as ramps, that way you need not rely on a labourer to help load and unload.

 

Good grinding comes down to being organised, carrying spare teeth pockets bolts and belts is also a must.

[Ty Korrigan]

You got it!

I've always got pockets and teeefff, red and green.

You know, I can get the grinder in the back of a Renault Kangoo with the folding passenger seat!

We are just in the process of registering our recent purchase of an Iveco tipper and the grinder goes up the ramps easy as pie.

The wee Bandit is 'Hors service' for a week as of tonight as I'm just replacing the bearings before they go, one has always run dry since new, just can't get any grease in it.
