  1. exactly what I was thinking , id have someone on who could look after vans, chippers etc when required but out on site the rest of the time
  2. I think the fact that the idea has been copied shows confidence in the idea We dont use ours much because of the nature of most of our work.id never sell though , as soon as it was sold you'd be kicking yourself.......its just one of those bits of kit . a bit like thr big shot , not used all the time but your glad youve got it when you need it
  3. Love the sales pitch. Im guessing its not in the advertising
  4. I dont remember agreeing to help anyone this weekend!!!
  5. Thats pretty amazing.....i didnt even know you wore coats down there:biggrin:.........you really do learn something new every day
  6. Snow plough??? Must be a pretty niche market down there:001_tongue:
  7. Fuel genie for us. Morrisons,tesco and im sure they have just added sainsbury now. Ive found this the best option because your never from from one of these options.we also have keyfuel but rarely use them .on the odd occasion they come in under supermarket price your never near one anyway
  8. This is a great tree. It part if a lager tree with extra caving all over it
  9. I use 18v Bosch. It also has battery indicator lights on the batteries. Done tons of eco plugging with it. Drilled into brick etc no probs
  10. Not really sure what looked wrong with it? Just an old track 150. Bloke wanted a quick sale. And offered to deliver
  11. Sounds like a lot of improvement on the unimprovable
  12. We have lifted tw190 plenty of times and not just lifted it but had it carried by rrv along rail tracks some distance on the cetral lifting eye. Also lifted g/mech 19-28 safetrack over walls and fences using the 4 eyes along the bittom of thd machine.
  13. I might be wrong. But the jensen 50hp stump grinder looks very similar to a predator with a bit of extra engine casing stuck on it.....any ideas if this is the case or my mistake??
  14. Weather is beautiful in zante ......so is the cold beer and the lack of noisy saws and chippers P.s anyone who might have been concerned about holidays in greece this year. No probs whatsoever ....business as usual.
  15. Cant help with panels. But if you need any other parts give me a shout. Ive got some bits and pieces left. Engine , roller box , rollers etc. All crom the mavhine in my pic. It was 3 months old when written off
  16. Id would say you do need to deduct from your subbies. We used to carry out highways (on the motorways) for Tilhill. They were working for interoute and we were working for them , they still made the deduction from us.
  17. Nice liitle vid. Shame it was only a brief look at the smart winch , it does have a quick look at the portable winch as well.....great little bit of kit , its saved us an awfull lot of graft. I actually ended up sticking gcrs.
  18. Grinder.......easier ,faster and more profitable work. I reckon even hiring you would still be quids in and wont have a load of junk to still deal with
  19. Cleveland site safe!! Very good , id say about as good as you can get
  20. I remember some years ago. An approved site vault. Big walk in thing. Ours withstood a couple attempts untill the simple used gas torch to cut through the back of it But even when the cut the hinges it stayed shut because of locking bars into bith sides of the doir frame A good vault. But pricey i should think
  21. Good info. Be handy if the police actually decided to go and find out.i think its pretty shoddy they say we think bur are not 100%
  22. ?? A single old trunk ? When the " large job , day rates and unknown variables" were being mentioned. I had visions of several months work , multiple tree pruning and removals .tonnage of timber to remove. A single trunk , just get round there. The most accurate way to learn is by experience and by making mistakes and learning the lesson
