what do you mean by serviced, new filters, plug etc?

£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

Any man, women or child is deemed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, thats the law of the land..
-
I agree with paragraph two! the most
-
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.
-
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...
-
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!
-
Can we start a thread called '''what haven't the AA done for us'' ?
-
Very interesting........
-
Like the 99% of other small arb firms Pete I couldn't afford to...
-
I might have to buy a bit of land around Guildford, and hook the caravan up lol, jeez that was a good rate.
-
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..
-
In that case I congratulate you, only AA gentlemens club members can command that kind of day rate in my area..
-
are you AA approved?
-
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!

Is that right! if only it was that easy!

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....
-
Common sense tells me which trailer is more versatile for arbwork...
-
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...
-
I would never buy a forwarding treailer for arb work, i'd get something like this much more versatile imo
-
cheers mate
-
never been please give me the run down on how I might get a ticket or two?
-
I have an IPAF mewp ticket , and totally disagree, whilst on the course we saw some pics of horrific accidents, the number one safety message the instructer forced down our throats was DO NOT USE A MEWP AS A CRANE OR OVER LOAD IT, and I too have vast experience using them, it takes very little to set the alarm off, a good gust of wind, and we could be reading a whole different thread, If anyone used a mewp as a crane on the sites I work on you'd be down the road sharp! IMO if vduben needed a crane one should have been priced into the job period, if whoever priced the job knew a crane was need why wasn't one priced in? no tree is worth a life or serious injury ever!
-
MEWPS are still not to be used as a crane, however big the branch was

I'll get a pic of 'Gaffer' in the morning, for those who haven't seen him he,s a Bullmastiff, for those that saw him as a pup, he's grown i'm guessing he's touching 10 stone these days and hes got a bit to grow being only a year old
