What ground saw is best these days?

My view. And off topic. Is that people see the £ signs in big work, without working out the costs. £2k for two days, 4 men each day and then all the waste and extra chipper etc. Vs me and one other bloke earning £5/600 a day smashing out hedges and small work to a high standard...

 

In the end I had four blokes working for me, all earning GOOD money. And we nicknames ourselves the hedge specialists. We were knocking out jobs other people were claiming would take a day in half a morning, and then doing loads more work.

 

It just meant when it came to something bigger, we were not as used to it. We would take apart the "big tree" brigrade at small stuff, and they would do the same to use with big stuff. I know who drove nicer cars though...

 

 

Can't wait to meet ya at the show. What ya driving now?

Err - well I've only recently decided to get back into the garden work. More because I was getting calls on my phone for jobs, and decided it would be better to earn some money rather than looking for a "normal job".

 

So I currently have a bmw 320d, but I'll have to change that for a van, or if I decide to start very small again a pick up.

That's about the long & short of it, a certain air of respectability has to be maintained on any open forum.:001_smile:

 

Hi,

 

Agreed, particularly as there are more than a few female participants.

 

choice between 550 & 261, if the recent 261's clutch bearing issue has been sorted?
