  1. I ve got the d max think it's a cracking truck. Not used a newer l200 so can t compare.
  2. Will Check out the sale of goods and services act don't think you ll get anywhere unless you had physically started the works. I am afraid you ll probably have to walk away. But would be worth getting an explanation from the guy who accepted from you so you can make sure there's no bad feeling and you may keep contact and maybe get future work. Unfortunately that's business it will happen to us all at some point and probably more than once. Just don't take it to heart life's to short.
  3. Speak to dean he will help you.
  4. Try Hampshire garden machinery near Romsey don t know for sure but they should be able to help.
  5. Buy cheap buy twice I would get the bandit. 5 year warranty plus theirs service is second to none.
  6. My mum runs a B and B in nethy bridge she does a cracking breakfast with bacon and sassages from the local butchers. I don t know how she makes money to be honest.
  7. I poly bushed mine then fitted hd bruit part plus 2 inch springs with super gas shockers. I also have a anti roll bar off a scrap disco. It has made the world of difference. Highly recommended.
  8. Basically for chip, logs, rakings and hedge cuttings from your work you must be registered on the lower tier licence. This one is free. If you generate landscaping or construction waste you need to pay for a higher tier licence.
  9. Going to have to make up a form similar to this to give to customers. Has any one got one similar and more suited to arb work but still meets the legal requirements. Cancellation Form If you wish to cancel the contract you MUST DO SO IN WRITING and deliver personally or send (which may be by electronic mail) this to the person named below . You may use this form if you want to, but you do not have to. (Complete, detach and return this form ONLY IF YOU WISH TO CANCEL THE CONTRACT.) To: __________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ [trader to insert name and address of person to whom notice may be given.] I/We (delete as appropriate) hereby give notice that I/We (delete as appropriate) wish to cancel my/our (delete as appropriate) contract _________________________________ [Trader to insert reference number, code or other details to enable the contract or offer to be identified. He may also insert the name and address of the consumer.] Signed _______________________________________________________________ Name and Address: _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Date: _____________________________
  10. Contracts made at home (or at your workplace) Since October 2008 there are improved cancellation rights if you agree to buy something during a visit by a trader, whether or not you invited the trader to visit. If you make a contract for over £35 with a trader in your own home (or someone elses), or at your workplace, for goods and/or services: You have, in most cases, a seven day cooling off period in which you can change your mind and cancel. The rules only apply if the contract is agreed while the trader is with you. These cancellation rights do not apply if the trader visits and later sends you a written quotation, which you accept by phone or in writing when he is not present. The trader must give you a written notice of your cancellation rights, including a cancellation form, which explains how you can cancel. If the trader fails to give you this written information he commits a criminal offence and does not have a legal right to demand payment. Contact Trading Standards if this happens to you. You must cancel in writing. Cancellation takes effect the day you send the letter, not the day the trader receives it. Keep a copy and get proof of posting. If you buy something online, by phone, fax, mail order or TV at home without any face-to-face contact with the trader you still usually have a right to change your mind and cancel but the rules are different. The trader must still send you written details of your right to cancel. If you make a credit or hire agreement at home you still have a cooling off period but the rules are different. Your right to cancel must be set out in the agreement. Never agree to work being done by a cold caller, however tempting or convenient it seems.
  11. Had a small issue with one of my clients recently and have been informed that I need to redo my quoting procedure. Just wondering how others are making sure they follow the rules with this regulation notifying people of there rights. As there's a £5000 fine if this procedure is not met think I better get it sorted ASAP.
  12. There's a Carlton 2010 on ebay for 375inc vat if you could stretch that far.
  13. Nice I was out in New Zealand back in 2012 just for a month wish I could have had a opportunity like that to get up close to such magnificent trees.
  14. That's my biggest issue, what's the best to have maybe I ll have to get both and a trailer with hi ab. Just so I have every thing covered.i had better find that winning lottery ticket.
  15. That's my biggest issue. Getting older and fairly knackered from all this tree work thinking about how i do work more now to make it more effient etc.
  16. Does anyone use it for arb work. What can they lift etc. thinking could be usefull and open up other avenues of work. Was thinking about skid steer etc but they seam to be more money and abit more limited and more expensive. Did have people picking up timber from bigger jobs but thats not likey to happen now so need to find away of saving my back. What's your thoughts
  17. The wheels are quite small and could do with being abit wider but overall very usefull. Got it from Paul at pa welding in thatcham.
  18. Here's one I bought from a guy on ebay. He was happy to sell them for £80 each it was one of the best investment I ve made for the business.
  19. Lawrence have a think about the 150 they may be sold but green mech had a couple of ex demos at a great price. Think you need at least that capacity for your work. Don t want to have to change again in a couple if years as you get busier.
  20. The range of bandit machines are defiantly worth looking at plus deans probably the best salesman I ve met. Although he has a easy job as the machines sell themselves most of the time.
  21. If its anything like the the 252 it will be belt driven. Mine has a 27hp petrol kohler engine it's a old design but very good.
  22. I have a 252 and its very very good, thinking of upgrading to a bandit but nothing really wrong with the Vermeer just the bandit may be more productive.
  23. [ATTACH]142746[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]142747[/ATTACH] All done within a couple of hrs at most. Great machines very impressive.
  24. A mate had a 300 till last week when he traded up to an isuzu. Great little truck carried weight well and had a impressive legal carrying capacity. Think its on ebay now at the dealers for sale.
