This one got replaced by an Iveco , had a couple of clutch and gearbox issues and running strong on 210 thousand and definitely turned over some money and is now the local team bus . This was replaced with a Iveco 3 litre which is going strong . I tend to replace the vans for the teams that do the more miles with newer ones and the local team get the hand me downs.

This is a great way of putting a value to this , I had a 2011 transit sold it at 185 thousand , hardly had a spanner to it apart from regular servicing . It had a new intercooler but that was it , no clutch or transmission issues whatsoever .Easily earnt over a million and was still going until November this year ,

Do any of the single/king cab trucks tow 3.5 tons?

I have a whippet , doesn't shed , likes to be out and about as much as on the couch at home .Try JR Whipet rescue on FB . They have them come up quite often .

I'm looking for additional help shortly for a ground based cutters , climbers may also be helpful .Usual certs and CSCS card helpful however can be arranged . Anyone interested PM Me .

Its something clients are asking for now . To be fair most other qualifications such as machinery operations ect require refresher or resits . With my assessors head on and not contractors I might run some refresher courses on the Devon Somerset border this summer if there is enough interest . I've just got to get some spiking poles set up and I'm good to go .

Gristwood are really near there they take it

If people don't like the wages learn to type and leave the industry . All this talk of everyone else getting all this money is as bad as farmers . I've lads on decent money leave because they can get double elsewhere just to bounce around from job to job for years after . Usually the ones with this talk aren't even a week in hand with payments and hassling for payment within minutes of finishing the job . If I could lay bricks maybe I would but I know it wouldn't be straight and I would want to live in a house I'd built as I've not the eye for it . I've enjoyed tree work and couldn't imagine doing anything else . As for a short career as a subbie climber I agree but it longer than it was . A lot of the big stuff is done mechanically and lifting equipment with avant and diggers makes bigger work just fun now.

Exactly the sort of money my subbies are getting , I supply the saws and fuel as I'm bored of lads turning up with broken saws so I think they are doing pretty well . On this there are those that completely take the piss for this type of return also .

As per the title can anyone reccomend a grapplesaw operator in the Bolton area . That is all thank you

I still have a complete one with a damaged winch which could be repaired with the right pair of hands . Strictly collection only though . Devon?Somerset border

Housing for youngsters is terrifying , the rental market round here is probably the same as the rest of the country . Its never been so easy being in arb and living in the countryside finding accommodation. New builds are awful and a single person is pretty much priced out of the market . I've done some domestic works at estate type properties and they have empty cottages which I just don't understand .

I am looking for staff for a couple of roles as usual Commercial climbing arborist with the usual quals and ground staff/landscape operatives to assist with the tree teams and undertake fencing ground based de veg works and landscaping .Machine certs would be helpful . PAYE or regular part time self employed . Call 07855 316780

The annoying thing I questioned their ability to pay when the spec on the job changed I had promises it was all good , my advise when working for a recently formed company get a written directors guarantee. It will be interesting to see what the debts are as they were only trading a few years ,my accountant has said 60 k to hmrc which must mean they made alot surely .

The company directors involved are now both working for a company owned by their wives and all absolutely legal .
