  1. Each situation is different. In someways the fact that a team have bonded to such an extent that they want to help their work mate get to where they need to be, is a good thing!! far better than them being at each others throats. But if a taxi can do the job and the other lads can crack on, all the better.
  2. A member on here called Rupe, put forward a very good point some years ago. From time to time we all underprice a job, if a customer gets enough quotes they will get a someone who underprices, so a fare portion of work is being done to cheap, this can then drive down what customers expect to pay. Another point it small firms trying to grow will sometimes work at "cost" just to cover wages, waiting for "better times" The bottom line is WE are ultimately in charge of quoting our price.
  3. I think he is buying saw logs, not pallets.
  4. Simply instal a bull rope, then attach to that.

  8. You don't don't need to climb a tree to install a high winch line.

  10. I have a 400 on the front of my mog, its excellent!!!!
  11. sorry should read "wouldn't".
  12. The alternator would charge the battery as fast as the motor would drain it, so you could well still end up with a flat battery. An additional battery would probably be best.
  13. I do mine in the chipper hopper, lean hard onto the saw, sharpen righthand teeth right-handed and the lefthand teeth left-handed.

  15. Are you a climber??
  16. How would you posable move a flip line up that???
  17. So long as they are cut pretty straight and sit nicely together, they will be fine, if they are cut like door wedges you will have problems.
  18. I've dodged them for 20 years, I'll take my chances
  19. How do you know they did not give notice of intension to fell, in which case they can do as they wish. Your life must be pretty blessed if you see this a issue worthy of your time, IMO.
  20. Free climb to the top, then install rope, then descend and start stripping the Ivy.
