Piece of crap that thing was! So many hours spent sat on side of road waiting for a mog mechanic!! Andy, he's semi retired form bottle top chasing, he hardly has any teeth left!

Gerbutt has been struggling with photos so I will help
-
All I did was copy the image location from yfrog, and paste it in when asked for the url from the "insert image" icon. Because you had hosted the image its easy to put the link in for it rathet than attaching the actual image, if you see what I mean. yfrog will have downsized it already. Good work though, you must have been bored today!

Thats the confusing bit, the picture icon that says "insert image" is for links to images already on the web, thats why it asks for a url. You want to attach photos as an attachment which is (as has been said) the paperclip icon in the advanced section.

The other side of the coin is that you don't have service bills, breakdowns, or lack of work to worry about. It worked ok for me for 6 months or so before I bought my own. My only mistake was to buy second hand instead of just getting on with it and buying a new one! If you have your own and it breaks down you lose money far quicker than you gained it! -
Good stuff!! Never knew there was such a thing as a "really nice poplar"

Stevie, I love the simplicity of your life!! Kids, food, wife, arbtalk, work! Not necessarily in that order! I know you have plenty other stuff to deal with too mate but your cheerful approach to the important things in life is refreshing. Now f&*k off, I'm in a bad mood and so is everybody else!

A cheap old quad will get the chipper in the same places as the tracks will just about. And then you have a quad too to do doughnuts with at lunch time!
-
But a tracked chipper is an expensive lump to have sitting around. How about changing it to an equivelent tow behind?

Go away! I have a pain accross my forehead! I think its called anxiety! It needs sunshine to make it go away!
-
I'm in the same boat! Can't pay any bills and have nothing due in! I've been sayign for years that I would liek to have january off every year, but you need to be in for that one phone call that will start the year off nicley! That won't happen till the snows gone though!
-
Yes it bound to lose you jobs. A chipper is expected these days to be included in a standard day rate, so unless your day rate is 100-200 less than everyogn else then there is no space to allow for that addition. I used to hire one (6 inch) at about 225 a week if I remember rightly, but buying a new one was only 300 ish a month. Plus, dependign on where your hire company is at, you also have to figure in cost of collection/ return in terms of time and fuel costs, that all comes out of your profit.

Wherabouts in glos are you?

I've been doing some sums! This is the way forward IMO. My two trailer will carry more if in these bags so two deliveries at once, simple!

I don't think so, the action looked just like he using a vt.

In the first pic of the beech/wall and then the later pic of the Elm/wall, I think the walls have been built up to the tree years ago and the tree has grown and engulfed the "ends" of the walls, as apposed to actually growing over a complete wall which would not be possible IMO.

I hire mine to customers who are physically capable of using such a machine, that way I make money from the splitting but don't actually do anything! I offer it when they say "what am I supposed to do with those rings" £150 for a week inc vat and delivery, only been hired about 5 times but it makes it all helps.

Are you sure you've seen the right vids?

We had quite a few lakes by our house as a kid, they were gravel pits refilled, and they always seemed to freeze over, and we would walk accross them quite happily. They froze over last year for the first time in about 10 years but I wouldn't have walked over them. I'll be over there tomorrow, I'll go for a walk and see how frozen they are now, probably won't walk over them now, age and wisdom etc!
