    I wear riggers Mark and keep Other boots in the van. Elten for non spike dry weather, big red zaimemt things for steep ground, wet ground and spiking, neoprene Wellies for walking about in puddles, non chainsaw work, chainsaw willies for mucky non climbing jobs.

    I was so disappointed to see such a small chipper on that Haggland when I saw it at the APF! Brilliant idea though.

    Wage + holidays + insurance for them + Insurance for you + clothing + PPE + vehicle insurance extras + accounting fees + PAYE contributions + a lot of stress + you need to make some money off them + 3 months full and 3 months half pay if their sick. Realistically there hourly rate x 4 is what you need to charge them out at.

    Rich the just isn't any chasing stuff, you just pick it up and put it somewhere. No more trying to pick up pennies with boxing gloves on!

    I will donate my big bag of nowt to who ever wants it:sneaky2:

    Jim price is dependant on what hydraulics you have on the machine. The grab itself is around £4800 pv, then the diverter valve kit valve on the hitch is another £900 p vat if you don't have enough hydraulics for the second service. It's a fair investment , but the work that can be done with it is brilliant. Yes a thumb is 10% the cost and if you don't need a grab and rotator go with that option. The second I put the grab on the machine and picked up and moved some branches and small logs I'd forgotten the price!

    Ostiopath is great, my last neck seize was all caused from my back being siezed up on the opposite side, I'd had a few heavy days chipping big with the Mog, 1 sided dragging and feeding!

    I blame the iPad and iPhone for my dire necks! But will I learn ??

    Hope everyone's ok where the floods are! Monsoon and windy again here tonight.

    Nice 1! If your on steep ground, treat it to some new tracks, save a lot of lost time from my experience.
  23. Stephen Blair
    Cool video.
  24. Stephen Blair

  25. Stephen Blair
