Selling my kit and winding up my business

[Pete Hart]

Hi everyone, ive not been on here for a long while now. It is with sadness and a heavy heart that im selling up and finishing my small arb business.

3 months ago I suffered a burst appendix and peritonitis which knocked me for six and quite litterally nearly killed me.

After 12 weeks of recuperation and reflection I have decided that I need a change. My kit is listed on Arbtrader under my profile name of Yaffle trees so get over there and check it out if your after a 130 tipper, chipper, stump grinder or road tow logsplitter.

I am going to continue with my love of trees and timber but I shall be taking a step away from arb work and focus on timber crafts (another passion of mine).

Hopefully this will be slightly less demanding on my body and cause me a lot less anxiety and stress (a problem that running an arb business was causing me to suffer with, for all sorts of reasons). After all life is too short and I want to enjoy every minute of it!

I know they say once an arb always an arb and im sure this is true so i'll be arbtalking regardless of what I do, but expect me to be lurking in the timber and woodcraft forums from now on!

Cheers

Pete aka Yaffle

Hi Pete just like to say all the best with your new venture and am sure it was with a very heavy heart the choice you made.

 

Could you go down the training of other climbers? Just seems a waste of skill and talent that you can't pass on some of your know how on to up and coming climbers as good quality teachers are few and far between and we need more like yourself to pass on good work and climbing skills.

 

Anyway good luck with your woodcrafts and may be see u and shows in the near future with your own stall? Aim big and succeed. All the best:thumbup:

I suffered the same 6 years ago and fortunately I made a full recovery and now as fit as ever. I often think of packing it all in but for very different reasons. Good luck with your venture and I hope it works for you.

I did wonder when I saw the Land Rover and Stump Grinder, all the very best to you in your new endevours. SG

You are a brave and sensible guy. Good luck!
