Had a call five minutes ago and the job is in the bag and booked for the 27th of Feb, result :001_smile: £2000.

 

you certainly seem to be getting the jobs in mick, good on you. since you do have good money on the job why dont you do some playing about with some of the kit edd and dean are talking about, if you are thinking on upgrading kit at some time this seems a good job to try it on. organise a demo of a tracked mewp and find a local guy with a hiab. personally both toys are great in the right situation, why not get both in on the same day save your wage bill and give the good lady an easy day.just my 2 sense worth mate.:001_smile:

And worth of every penny of it Stevie :001_smile: I seem to be having my second wind since last August and reinforced by finding Arbtalk. I love the look of big boys toys and fancy a slice of it. Thanks to everyone for their input.:001_smile:

my advice on buying kit is find a good mechanic first then buy the kit. downtime is the killer. if you have someone local already with a good hiab or cherrypicker that is reliable use them and keep your money in the bank. it means in times like this you arent having sleepless nights worrying about payments on kit. i am glad mine is paid for. but my tractor has a fault and the guy with the laptop to find the fault is in sweden and isnt back till next week.:mad1:but i had a day splitting logs and filling bags with my old man:001_smile:
