  1. With respect,did your decision to use yours not result in some one being quite seriously injured,and really your both lucky to have survived. They have there place and people are free to use them if they wish,but people must be aware that MEWPs, just as many things in life, come with some risk.
  2. Tony, in my post where i said "borrowed money gets you out of bed in a morning" i was implying that borrowing the money to buy your business was a GOOD idea.
  3. Oh well,that told me:bawling: The one i used was on loan from Alex price,my chipper was having some work done on it so Alex leant me a jensen front mount for my mog,i realy liked it,not enough blow to put conifer in the back body,but other wise very,very,good.
  4. No worries mate:icon14:self-employment is all about doing things YOUR way.:wave:
  5. I'm very lucky,I over look my yard from my bed room window,and have a very big dog:scared:who lives out side.
  6. Are well now i know that i wish to change my guess from 1200 hours to 1100 hours and 50 minuets.
  7. A guy i know said to me years ago that if your worth £100,000 and borrow £50,000 the bank has you by the balls,but if you're worth £50,000 and borrow £100,000,you've got the bank by the balls.
  8. Don't think I could have bought my £45,000 mog,£20,000 trailer,9inch front mount chipper,12inch rear mount chipper,rear mount 6 ton winch,30 ton splitter,fire wood processor,Hiab,2 tractors and 6.5 ton trailer,without borrowing some cash. I currently owe £2,500. Borrowing is a tool and,imo,is very very useful,I used with care.

  10. Not aimed at you you Mate:icon14: Its those bureaucratic parasites,that get my back up,they should get a proper job and stop trying to get use to pay there wages:thumbsdown:
  11. You've lost me? Its because I have ambition that I borrow money to make money.

  15. Don't you think it about time all trees were felled,I'm sick of all the "POLLUTION" come Autumn:alberteinstein::alberteinstein:
  16. I've laid a butt at the top of a bank and run the cable over it to stop it digging into the ground.
  17. I give most of my chip to the farmer next door,he uses some for bedding his cattle and sells some to gardeners ect,if i get calls from people wanting to buy chip i give them his phone No.
  18. Which planet is he living on:alberteinstein:
  19. No,it down to legislation,they are trying to get them to burn cleaner.
