I think it's worth a punt. After all, he has 100% feedback, and if its not as described you can get your money back. Consumer law states you can get your money back within 28 days without a reason, let alone if the item is "not as described" Go on boys, give it a go, you have the law on your side:biggrin:

Lol! And the rest was history as they say! I guess in a situation like that its got to be done, but in the world of a tree climber it's all about having the most amount of power in the tree from the lightest saw, so some of these lesser powered versions of the same saw always seem pointless to me. Often there's only a few quid difference to the next size up too, so unless budgets are so tight I can't see the point of getting the lower powered one. Your situation was needs must of course. .

Yeh, I get you chris. Then again thinking of it, I wouldn't of bought the 650, just gone straight to 660. Not that it really matters, but was there a reason for getting the 650 and not the 660?

:lol:

Is a 1m bag not a dumpy bag then?

500 quid delivered.

Mate, there is virtually no difference in weight, and very little in price, so why bother with less power? Just go for the 61, you won't look back!

Ms150 is an ideal chipper saw for those awkward little forks that jam, a 200 for general small felling/shedding and a 660 for anything above 20". That could also double up for a climbing saw on anything the gomtaro can't handle.

No worries

If you need a bit more detail, PM me your email and I'll send you a pdf. It may take some digging out but sure I have one if you're stuck.

Similar here. I've been running my own set up for enough years now to know how to price accurately. For those moaning about being undercut, just sit back and figure it out. There are ways of quoting a reasonably cheap price to win the job yet still earn more than your competitors. It's not price per job you need to look at its amount of profit from that job. Start looking at the bigger picture by thinking outside the box a little.

Nice little vid Tim. It may seem a basic procedure but there's plenty around who could learn from such simple techniques.

Glyphosate-what you need to know

How do your customers feel about this? -
Mmmm, think I paid £380 inc vat for my 150, but the other day was offered a 540 at £420 +vat from another dealer. Didn't sound bad at that.
-
So what's everyone paying for the 540 at the moment? I paid strong money for my 150 compared to what I've recently been quoted for a 540!

That's the point! What VOSA and DVLA say is what is legal. Not Land Rover.
-
I must stick my head out here mate and say, you are completely barking up the wrong tree! I believe the question was about uprating a 3050kgs gross landy to a 3500kgs one. What you are quoting is what land rover spec is. Very different issues. As long as you keep the vehicle within PLG rating, and there was an equivalent rated version of model (defender 3500, 110 or 130) it can be uprated. Just fill in the docs, change the plate, job done.

Looks like it has some low ground pressure tyres on for it. When I worked with them the main reason for using them was, the corn went onto trucks for transport, tractors were not widely used on roads as a trip of 50 to 100 miles was common back to store. The trucks themselves were not always ideal for travelling in the field alongside the combine, hence the chasers.

I did in oz and Canada in the late '80s Steve but they were a rare thing here. Having been out of ag for 15 years myself, and the fact combines and machinery in general are getting bigger all the time, guess they must be getting more popular here now.

Mmmm!

You may have answered your own question there!

No, it's you not knowing what you're on about. .

Come on Ian, catch up!

Ok, so he's selling at around £140 a cube inc vat and you say its around 3 times more than you. I'm not sure what you're charging, but lets say yours are £60 a cube. You are possibly making £15 cube profit on those. Just think if you started selling at £140 assuming your overheads stay the same. That would give you over £90 per cube profit, 6 times what you're making now. So, a large percentage of your customers are going elsewhere. Stuff 'em! If you keep one third of you original customers, you will be earning twice as much as now. Just think of all that extra time you'll have to spend doing other stuff 'cos you only need to process a third of what you're used to doing. Rough figures, but it does work! .
