The Bang Tidy is Back

[CJM]

The van I've bought is another Iveco 35c15 3.0Hpi with only 16,500 miles on it. Comes with toolbox with roller shutter and 11ft ally tipping body, the only thing it's missing is the Orange paint...!!

 

Good choice, it'll be less of a ball ache (checks every 10 weeks) than the 5.5 ton iveco you've got now.

Did you look at any transits? The new ones look decent

I looked at the transits but they don't carry weight like the ivecos and I need big HP to pull my big mincer

I've learned a hard lesson this last month, life is not all about how my business looks to others, nor is it about fast cars or houses in the country. Non of this means anything especially when my wife and daughter is not here when I get in from work 😞

The Bang Tidy is an awesome piece of kit but I am reducing my outgoings, I'm stopping working 100 hours per week and I'm going to spend the next ten years hopefully with people around me who love me and I'm going to put them first over everything. I love tree work but the person I am have let it take over my life leaving me with nothing

Bang on Chris, hope it all work out for you....

After experiencing one of the hardest days of my life so far I woke up this morning with a positive attitude, I was so low yesterday things couldn't have got any worse so I've started making changes. The bang Tidy is going and I've just put a deposit on a new van. I'm going back to 3500kg so Matty can drive it, I have my ifor tipper to team up for bigger jobs. Popped out for lunch after eating nothing yesterday and picked up the menu only to go straight to the mixed grills etc (old habbits), but I'm not that person any longer so prawn salad and sparkling water it is. I will be happy again but I have a long road ahead of me

 

Chris........."Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye"

 

You'll be right mate....

Can anyone help with a tree ident...? This veteran tree is growing very close to my house but not sure what it is 😳

Looks like some sort of elm to me, not sure exactly which one though?
