    I would do a trial week to prove myself if i needed to, its perfectly normal/resonable to do a days free trial.

    If i had the money yes! Do you take credit cards? Im just having to fork out for a new turbo, and fix the bits my van failed its MOT on so any money i had for cord has long gone, oh and insurance. Actually, depends how much delivery worked out at.

    I dont do mates rates for that reason... They can pay like everyone else one way or another.

    Posted this on another thread, but thought it may be worthy of its own thread, mainly due to the introduction of ECU remaps and "chips" which alter your engine performace. If these are found/picked up on your trucks it may well be a fail! I often read of people putting/doing this to there trucks so thought it may be of interest. Seems it should be easy enough to get around. Couldnt find a link to the VOSA website, but this link talks about the remaps/chips. Its a post on another forum but it seems to sumerise it well. VOSA MOT Changes - Page 2 - totalMINI Forums A google search will bring up the other changes.

    Also, in 2012, ecu remaps will be picked up on M.O.T tests, this will be a fail. A couple petrol head friends have told me this, just looking for an online source to post on here. OK, found a summary posted on another forum. http://www.totalmini.com/forum/9-general-discussion/15583-vosa-mot-changes-2.html Seems to sumarise it pretty well, and should be able to get away with your remap if its done properly.

    Have you finally bought a tractor??

    Agreed, i dont always wear PPE. On a work site yes, but when at home using the saw or processing firewood for myself i dont always wear it. Common sense goes a long way in this industy.

    Well said.

    My kit gets thrown around a fairbit, even if its from the barn onto the truck in the morning. If i didnt think crabs were man enough to take a bump now and again i wouldnt climb on them.

    I would say you wont find it any cheaper than that anywhere delivered in. Dont sell it by the tonne. If you sell it at £80per cubic metre, which is perfectly resonable, you will make more money. 1cubic metre will weigh less than a tonne. Dont be afraid to put your prices up, explain to your customers about the increase of fuel, raw material costs, etc...

    This reminded me of an old TPO application my tutor showed me at college. "Applying to protect one horseradish.."
  21. Tree Man Tom
    Is that delivered or roadside? Works out at just over £48 per tonne, which is about as cheap as your going to find it at the moment.

    I see you come form the plant hire trade. Do people think that if i hire a digger for the weekend, i should have been through training to allow me to do so? FWIW i couldnt care if joe public use saws or not, only time i get annoyed is if they come out and gloat to me that they only wear shorts and sandles when there using one.
  23. Tree Man Tom
    We plant extra heavy standards a fairbit. Digging holes by hand sometimes 3ft deep and 3ft wide all day can be pretty tough going. You can quarntee it wont be easy digging ground either! lol

    Was chatting to the stihl guys at the apf about this, it seemed pretty good.

    If you run a saw completly dry, it will take a few pulls to pull the fuel through the lines into the carb. I dont think there is anything wrong with your saw... You can hear when your saw is running out of fuel, i tend to switch it off then rather than let it run completly dry. Then once filled up with fuel you tend not to get the problem of it cutting out on you so often.
