Most small builders work out of a van or garage and can get customers to buy materials so dont need to show them on there turnover -
The pred/ laski 360 is a good little machine, basic yes but ours has earned its cost many times over.

Builders generally don’t have “on the books” staff, pensions paye etc and little over heads. -
I’m really not sure you have been fed good information, Greenmech are as well built as anything else out there mainstream and better that a lot of others, I have run a good few GM machines and had little issues, as for Forst, I had 2 and both were terrible on reliability! If I buying another small machine it would be GM TW Jensen or shitslinger!

We had one for a while, good little machine, very capable and well built but I was never a fan of the roller set up, the new Evo is a different level .

Yes most councils want it in meters now simply because it’s much clearer and less open to interpretation.

Does it state the salary on offer? I couldn’t see it, not for me but I’m sure most will want to know.

That means they have passed basic industry competency tickets to use a chainsaw and climb a tree , doesn't mean they know what there doing in reality, its done now, leave it to recover and see how it goes

Cheap normally means crap! were they actually a bonified firm or a gardener with a chainsaw/travellers? What was the spec that was agreed before they started?

I would use the term "Arborist" v loosely ! No its very poor work, did you pick them on price alone?

Jack, are you still doing the isa TRAQ course? -
The tackle tarts will love that !

That the one of flebay i take it? i was considering buying it but the seller didn't answer this phone or email on numerous occasions, never use either so cant really help but i would guess there there will be a difference in throughput due to the extra power. My only concern with that machine was if it had been "blown over" for sale .

Depends how you want to do it, proper job, strip down, bead blast re spray and re build or just blow it over and roll it in glitter. I would say anywhere from 500 quid to 5k

Cracking little saws Josh, I sold our 150s about 3 yrs ago and got a brace of 2511’s fantastic little things, I know what you mean about the on off switch, I wish they would make them spring loaded so always live like the 540t .
