    A big thank you to Steven (Leeker) and Aonghas for their hard graft on Thursday. It was a horrible job, that i was expecting to take about 10-12 hrs. The lads hard work and non stop graft meant we were heading back home around 5pm. I can highly recommend them, good time keeping, never went near their phones, safe and enjoyable to work with. Oh and of course Rab (Arbscape) cant forget him:biggrin: Cheers guys:thumbup1:

    Websites great for doing a lot of pricing, if you want jobs then I feel Facebook is the new word of mouth. I am rural so maybe diferent if you are in a city.

    Used them once about 15 years ago, pointless advertising right next to a few pages of your competition , Facebook is the way forward, set up a free page and away you go

    Bob depending on kit and how much i had made that week would depend on my price and if i really wanted the job. They could be felled up the drive, lifted out with a tractor and put into a monster high sided trailer and then tipped out in a corner and dealt with on bonfire night. So as little as £350 to cover ninja farmer and me with a saw doing minimum fells and maybe a few undercuts to squeeze trailer down. Or as much as £3k and sub it out to the TW/Transit brigade who could lower it all to the deck, look good in all their fancy new bling from the Catalogue and get them to do it for £700 and i could sit back and watch from the cafe. The variables are huge, or maybe its a trick question because its bird nesting time as we all hang up our saws for 6 months, unless we do utility, that doesnt count, you can spike all day and wreck nests all night and thats all ok in the eyes of the tree police!

    simplest 1 i have ever seen ( pallets and ply not inc)was another set of transit sides just welded onto the first
  22. Stephen Blair

    Nitrax boots Steve, comfiest coolest boots ever made, i tripped and spiked mine within a few weeks, gutted!!! That hedge was amazing! Huge cedar was it you were up? i usually just take pics of them with my phone to get them on here.

    These guys are just hungrier and harder working than you, simples! £200 is better than nothing, there are going to be weeks on end you are not going to make any money, months perhaps, maybe even a year and come the end of it, not made a profit. This is self employment. The time you are sitting here moaning you could be dragging brash through a conservatory .

    If the ram is put in the hole nearer the machine then you loose a bit of reach but gain a lot close in I was told today. Machine is working on its first job this week.
