  1. Get lost !!! Come on then get me a link to a pic, or some other info!!!!!!!!!!
  2. Yeah, victim less crime init, like fly tipping and working without insurance, when you told the client you have insurance and are going to the tip. If I agree a spec I stick to it, but I guess your either ARE a pro or your not, just my opinion.
  3. I am so envious of a fell like that. If I was offered a job like that I would probably price it very low just to make sure I won it. Did you cut a slice from the stump to keep for posterity?

    A loler inspection costs what £200, every year? I think most chipper cost more to maintain than that

    My crane cost £25K and makes me money (and is loler'd) My Mog was £45K and costs £5K to £10K per year to maintain and makes me money. My trailer was £20K and makes me money. Why don't all my competitors get MEWPs and steal all my work?? I've never been beaten on price by some one with a MEWP I really think the guys who think they are great should just buy one and clean up.

    This makes no sense if they saved the time many of you claim then then hiring or owning one would make you more competitive surely Do you ever hear any one say the cost of getting a chipper in is prohibitive?? No, because not having a chipper would make you less competitive, a chipper is a REAL time saving peace of kit.
  7. Skillfully re railed Yes I must concur good vid, although as it was OK to free fall the timber I would have just cut and chucked it all. But then I cut and chuck every thing
  8. You must have a nice powerful truck to not notice
  9. Yes they are available.
  10. If some one conned me like that I would be livid!! And people moan about cowboys, pikeys, and having their gear nicked!!! doing the above is just theft!! plain and simple.
  11. Won't stop it being crushed.

    bats in trees

    NO,NO,NO!!!! The law was changed, you have to have taken steps to ensure there are no bats of nesting birds present.
  13. Stopped wearing mine years ago when it cut into my finger when hitching a trailer. The biggest cause of finger amputation is Sunday league foot ball, whist fitting the nets to the cross bar of the goal, guys jump up to hook the net, ring catches, finger comes off.
  14. So if I've got this right, trees don't like being topped, but they don't mined being felled??
  15. I don't know why anyone falls for this, the camera has to "flash" to take a pic, so if pic's were being taken we would know
