  1. hers the link for the 50cc makitas and above http://www.worldofpower.co.uk/acatalog/Makita_Powerful_Chainsaws.html
  2. DCS500O it is then, its the best 50cc saw i've ever owned, had mine 18 months not a problem, i'll be buying more for sure
  3. makita anyone of these, I have 2 makitas and love them equally as good as Husky any day http://www.worldofpower.co.uk/acatalog/Makita_Petrol_Chain_Saws.html
  4. Just had a thought if membership counts as a representation of the industry blah blah blah, I say we members of ''arbtalk'' are now the representatives of the UK arb proffesion, right or wrong? lets face it we have far more members than the AA have! If the government want to push any new legislation, they better come and consult us from now on...:wave:
  5. one AA member so far out of over 400+ forum members
  6. what do you mean by serviced, new filters, plug etc?
  7. £150 whats wrong with that? i'd have thought that was good money for the Welsh market Like J The Tree wrote, you'd be shocked just how much it costs us biz owners to operate, I think £150 is a fair wage
  8. Any man, women or child is deemed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, thats the law of the land..
  9. I agree with paragraph two! the most
  10. Trust mark, AA aproved, ISO, kite mark, lists for this lists for that, deviding the industry thats all it is, the big boys trying to push the small boys out, simple as that in my eyes.. If we small firms just sit on our arses , we won't be in business in 10 years time.
  11. I don't agree and neither does the majority hence the lack of AA members and tiny minority of arb firms in the AA contractors scheme, you can't argue with facts and figures...
  12. If the government got in with less than 10% of the population voting for them, would you be happy about them being in power, point made!
  13. Can we start a thread called '''what haven't the AA done for us'' ?
  14. Very interesting........
  15. Like the 99% of other small arb firms Pete I couldn't afford to...
  16. I might have to buy a bit of land around Guildford, and hook the caravan up lol, jeez that was a good rate.
  17. Well thats something i'd never thought of, good these forums aren't they.. I hope the council see reason at the end of the day, i'd be inclined to go to my local MP, they hold a surgery most Saturdays, best of luck..
  18. In that case I congratulate you, only AA gentlemens club members can command that kind of day rate in my area..
  19. are you AA approved?
  20. yeah I bet the council was happy, I bet you they might be there for a few years pending a planning appeal,or untill your local council provide adequate council run traveller sites. I bet the travellers haven't got planning to be on there for good. Mark my words they'll be moved , fined or imprisoned. Planning permission for logs and chip on a field, something doesn't sound correct, agricultural land can be used for ''any'' agricultural or horticultural purpose period. Sounds like your man from the council is a jobs worth, a quick print out from a google search would have soon put him in his place!
  21. Is that right! if only it was that easy!
  22. Oh well just think of us poor buggers with no crane the next time you put a big lump of holm oak on your forwading trailer....
  23. Common sense tells me which trailer is more versatile for arbwork...
  24. couldn't you fit your crane onto a tipping grain trailer?, I'd be happy with any crane Oliver, but my first choice would be a tipper/crane combo trailer, i'd like the tractor first though.. Wish I was made of gold, more like mud...
  25. I would never buy a forwarding treailer for arb work, i'd get something like this much more versatile imo
