  1. I moniter all my calls, and i've never had a client say to me your website attracted me to your company.
  2. Do websites really pull in work? my old website is down, but i've had a website for years and i'm not convinced they pull in that much work
  3. Yet another reason why I won't vote this shower in again! As for the fallen they should never be forgot!
  4. You must be talking about a few years back Ed, no big money in grinding these days , the bubble burst on that job a few years ago, well around here it did
  5. My big grinder ''used to'' go out a lot, I don't know how some people justify something like a carlton 7015 or Vermeer sc60tx
  6. five minutes with a paint sprayer would sort that..
  7. I agree 100%
  8. So you think the area 30 miles down the road in general pay better, or is it in your case the company in question has a first class reputation and can charge more?
  9. What make you use or own? do you have a narrow access machine? do you have/use a big diesel grinder? If you have/use a stump grinder does it go out much? The reason I ask is I have 2 grinders and neither do that much work, and i'm thinking of selling one. If you don't own a grinder what do you do sub stumps out,hire in a machine or leave all grinding down to the client to organise?
  10. Still no pick-up here in Ipswich
  11. I don't think their is a big difference in regional rates, and running costs definatly aren't any different accross the country. Obviously firms running in London and the home counties charge a bit more. IMO the difference in pricing occurs between the small firm with 2 blokes and a Transit and the larger firms operating with a lot of kit, office ,industrial unit, and several men..
  12. Oh well if they hold a course down here I might well go, to be honest every course i've ever attended i've learnt things..
  13. You don't think my cousins 400HP Claas would pull it then?
  14. The question is what did you learn? not being funny but what is there to learn about TPO trees?
  15. I was pulled by a bod from the councils enviroment department, he told me point blank tree surgeons should have one
  16. I have one
  17. Nice job Burn a bit different from the norm..
  18. Stihl
  19. I agree with Ian
  20. so how about a platform on a chasis over 7.5 ton, do you need an o licence or hgv? well seeings as its classed as Plant! I wonder if a 4x4 chip truck, with hi-ab could be classed as forestry plant?
  21. find a ''good'' local saw shop and stay loyal, thats what I did, my saw man is fugging A1!
  22. Plans never work out in this game, I just plan from week to week..
  23. Hi Timber hey bro,we don't need no set time , members can chat anytime..
  24. Whats it like for vision, like most grinders it looks to me like a case of feel your way through the stump? How hard would it be to convert the whole machine, and grinder to remote control? only a thought... What do you think Ed for compact tractor users, mount the grinder on the 3 point linkage or front end loader?
