6 way

24 ton tractor mounted.
-
£60 a day - employed (so about £70 really).
-
I had 2 others out doing a job aswell so it wasn't my only income. We were using my 4.5 ton Iveco tipper - similar size to a transit.
-
I've had some great muppets from the job centre - free for 6 weeks aswell. Just give them an axe if you don't trust them with your splitter.
-
Myself and one member of staff cut, split and delivered 6 loads of logs today at £90 per load - that's not bad money, is it?
-
You poor b*stard!
-
Are you nuts - why don't you just get some muppet from the job centre in your yard with a log splitter and sell the fire wood yourself?

Very good quality pics for a mobile:icon14:

Don't think so Peter, I ain't no council employee! I employ others to do silly things on ladders above streams:proud: -

Same here, never had any dealings with them, nor has anyone I know. I see you're from the south-west, must be different here to the rest of the country? -
Do you go anywhere without a camera Pecontools?

4 times in 14 years doesn't sound too bad. The way some people talk on here it's as if they can't move a muscle without the HSE breathing down their neck. -

First of all, being told that Cornwall is still in the dark ages by a Northener is a bit of a joke! Secondly, I think working on a construction site is slightly different to 2 or 3 men spending a day cutting a tree down in someones back garden - not exactly crawling with H&S people. -
100% deductable in first year?
igottacabstar replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Business Management
I would be surprised if capital expenditure started being treated the same as general running costs - where 100% is knocked off your taxable income in the first year. -

I think what your accountant means is that if you bought a new truck on credit you could put the full value of it against your tax in the first year - not just the repayments that you make in that year. But it would still only be 50% against your tax in the first year, as with all capital expenditure, then the remainder gets carried forward to the next year in your 'pool'. -
I think not. I only supply my staff with the latest kit.
-
I haven't really got the 'f**k off if you don't like it' attitude with my staff, but don't kid yourself - plenty have. If you really believe that those days are gone you are very naive!
-
A large part of HSE's purpose is to provide and keep jobs in that sector. My aunt is head of H&S at Gloucester County Council and even she will tell you the same.
-
Well that's not going to make me any more money, is it?

Is arboriculture agriculture

No one obeys all of the rules all of the time. You would get very little work done for very little profit if you did. -

Yes, it's the same sort of thing. In my 12 years of tree work experience I have never known of anyone to walk on to site and ask for any certs - of any description. This also goes for the other tree surgeons that I know in my area. Obviously other people on this forum have different experiences, I can only guess that it varies from area to area. -
Just have to agree to disagree on this one.

No, it was a dealer I bought from on ebay. And I don't think you would have to many problems with insurance or hse as the non ce marked saws are identical to the ce marked ones, apart from the emissions in some cases, all safety aspects of the saw are the same - so it would be easy to prove that the accident would have occured whether the saw was ce marked or not. -
I've got plenty of experience using big chippers in Oz. The guys using that machine must have been chipping material contaminated with rocks. I count that as abuse - which is what I said originally.
