  1. £1k+vat seems good deal and a nice job to add to the album:thumbup1:
  2. Mate of mine had the same thing whilst he had his 20k winch challenge landy on the trailer going down the motorway he's verry good at his maintance and took the local dealer to task over the faulty thay where shocking ended up in a shouting match funny. In all seriousness there seems to be an issue with these trailers and the i shudder to think that there could be incidents out there where the out come was not so good carrying landys plant all big bits of kit scary to think:confused1:
  3. You need to be speaking to hamadryad he seems to know his stuff big time.
  4. Thay do a childs size got one for my son

  6. Last time there was talk of a logo comp it was epic and don't think it had a conclusion this was some timeago maybe years???
  7. Love the fact that you guys have some monster kit our company "cant" use cranes its crazy cos thay would be fantastic on our work specs and could be used frequently. very envyous
  8. This boiled my blood today agreed that if there was a tpo that had been breached then ok thats a crime, but the kind of stupid remarks made by the sun are sensational crap and the damage it does is further reaching than the willow being pollarded. This does "us" no favours at all and the contractor in question could be A1 and the tpo an oversite or client error etc we will never know but the general sun reading public will, and think that we are all butchers. Nice work SUN Rant over
  9. What about an arbtalk logo for members ???? maybe a special group buy price ????
  10. Got me gripped,we fell alot of diseased trees and love to have a better understanding of fungi and there effects etc great thread
  11. No air brakes, when there loaded the brakes cook, we have the crew cabs the engine noise and heat is annoying generally poor build quality. So wish we had mercs the company run a fleet of them for another contract there much better but probaly much more money wise
  12. Mitsubishi canters are crap imo we run five wish we had the mercs
  13. I am limited pretty much to hampshire county boundries we have a large job in kingsclere tomorow dont know exactly what its is buit there is a grab wagon of timber looking for a home possibly
  14. In my day to day work we quite often need/want to loose logs from our sites quantities vary from 1>18tonne dropped in a grab lorry we work all over Hampshire i want to put together a list of places where people are happy to take the timber ???????????? Any takers all we need is good access
  15. The money might be fantastic but i dont see thay get 5 days a week, week in week out ?? dont fancy being up there in the wind and rain thay may well free climb bet thay dont do it in sh** weather
  16. If i was in the position to finance such a purchase deffiantly look at preimer have used timber wolfs, jensens, brush bandits, TP's, and the preimers
  17. Makes the hairs on my neck stand on end

You should see the mountian of salt thay have at work fekkin huge bigger than huge. I am more exicted about the weather than christmas yippeeee
  21. Good tip off i have been considering going this course for a while so will be signing up for this asap
  22. For sure its mixed bag i can remeber the sawmill i worked for was losing out on jobs to the FC so i can only think its going to open up the market for small companies but also who is in the position right now to purchase these forests and will it be another buricratical sell off for a fraction of the true costs ??? could it just destabilise the industry ???? no expert but a big player in the game goes pop then leaves all the smaller out fits to fhight it out, no disrespect to the small guys.
  23. Stihl splitting maul or check out englebert strauss catalogue my dad get one from them and raves about it:confused1:
  24. Ok emergency callouts outs of curiosity how do you do yours. This is mainly directed at guys that work run larger out fits including utility firms where call outs are apart of a contract thay forefill my intrest is what is your set up ie vehicles how many what setup and once on site whats the general spec deal with it whatever and what back up you arrangements you have plant, TM, extra man power ??? Im not an industrial spy just intrested in how other companies structure this some time key aspect of an important contract.
