Nice one!

Try this website for some free bookkeeping software http://www.yorkshireaccountancy.co.uk In their site search box type: excel bookkeeping spreadsheet and follow the link, you will have to register though. It comes in the form of an excel spreadsheet with pre-formatted columns etc. and all the pages are linked so will always update as you input information. It seems really simple to use and when the time comes just email it over to your accountant.

Why would anyone try to do their own accounts?thats asking for trouble. Hire an accountant they will save you money in the long term, especially when dealing with large pieces of equipment, home/office costs, fuel/heating for office and depreciation etc.

You're absolutely right about dogs being harder to control, everything seems to done "when he's ready" !

Just seen your's Zep on equipment pic thread, good looking girl!

Nice looking borders Ben! You're right they do appear to be a tree surgeons dog. Does yours just go off and do his own thing like mine? very independent breed! Do you hand strip yours?

Hi all, i'm also fairly new to the site , been watching in the background for a little while but i'm now hooked! so i thought i should introduce myself. Loads of information, tips etc. some of which i've already put to use in work situations. I run a business with 2 man team in Sussex with truck, chipper etc. Anyway, great forum so keep up the good work!

Yes they are easy enough to tie, it is also easy enough to tell when they have'nt been tied/set properly. I would personally buy a length of cord and tie it to my favoured length, on the other hand i'd have no problem with buying one ready tied.

i use the dragonfly which already has a rigid seat, it is kind of fitted so it neither feels bulky or compresses the hips, very comfortable all round i reckon

its the first thing i was taught on my cs38, i now use a split tail and blakes

We run a 4" timberwolf pto chipper off of a kubota compact. It comes on a low speed trailer, so it is easy to manouever. Very handy piece of kit and will genuinely take a clean piece of 4-5" wood. It is gravity fed however so you need to be aware enough to let go at the point the blades bite

I really like the husqvarna pro tech type a's, seem quite durable with far superior ripstop than hiflex, most comfortable trousers i've had so far

hi zep, to be honest mate he'll chase anything that moves! a bit of a handful when you're trying to get some work done. We are in Worthing how about you?

This is our 3 year old border terrier "Billy". Fantastic dogs, would recommend one to anyone. He is now used to the sound of falling trees although it did take a while, he also loves the taste of rabbit!
