Gloria - keep or sell?

[Arbtech Tree Services]

Every time i go to sell the Wee Greeny i look at a job i can barely do without her...........

 

Sometimes it would be just a case of an extra dragger to get to a bigger machine, however a recent enclosed courtyard in the middle of town saw her stripped to an engine, carted through a Bank on a sack truck and rebuilt.

 

Yesterday went to list on Fleabay then looked at a job she'd be ideal for:sneaky2:

 

With a new drum and blades, bearings and belts she should fetch £3000 all day long and i can get a nice log splitter for that:thumbup1:

 

Trailer would be extra as i could mod it for the splitter.

 

So do i keep or sell?

It's one piece of kit that I don't think I will ever sell, takes zero space to store and when needed is perfect for the job in hand. My vote is keep it and sell something else

keep it with wages from it buy log splitter then you have 2 toys

I like toys:biggrin:

 

My need for a splitter is greater at the moment, but i know i'll regret it the day i sell.

keep her and get one of these

axe | eBay

 

but on a serious note if you think you will miss it then don't sell it get a axe and do an hour a day for a month or 2 after work if you selling the logs then you should go along way to buying a splitter

I'm no expert as I haven't really been in the game long but I find my jo beau invaluable, especially when I compare it to subbing work where they only have a large machine and you have to drag. On so many jobs for other companies all I have been able to think is that we could do with my chipper on the job. If you can afford too I would keep it, just think of what money it can earn you in the long run vs what you will get if you sell it

Keep it. You'll rue the day you sell it. Short term gain, long term pain. as said wee chippers always have their place.

keep it to good a machine to get rid of once its gone it be o i wish i had it. if you need to get a loads of logs done hire a processor for a day and split it up ready to take out and sell. can hire one for £200 a day 4 bags of logs rest profit. and no outlay on a splitter

you can buy a cheaper log splitter off flee bay and keep both thats what i would do
