    nice one robert, these folk are scum. they intimidate people, usually the old and vulnerable. i have done loads of jobs where folk like this have shafted someone and we need to fix them, the worst was a bow saw half way through a big lime over a kids nursery. they had went through about 50% of a 18" stem, luckily it was an old totempole pollard, so it wasnt too tricky to get down, but could of been much wore, cracking job there mate, they must be delighted

    does it do the vax thing, water through the carpet and sook it back up??
  13. Stephen Blair
    the credit card thing is a great wee trick, but you MUST adhereto there policy and swap to another the second one is up. i have never done this myself but i know lots of people that have, but you need to be disciplined and not let one lapse or they will thump it into you

    run a line along the banking and clip onto that, giving you an esape route, use as big a bar as possible so to try and just work from the one side

    jcb finance is one of the best companies to deal with, as long as it isnt a competitor machine they will finance you, but if you have a low profit on the books for last year then you may struggle mate

    any climbing shop jamie, they arent to expensive, i have thought about them but i think they will be a pest tbh, and i worry you would get too much grip and twist a knee or ankle, i sometimes rope onto the tree for putting the gub in
  22. Stephen Blair
    wow tom, it looks cool already. its a pity there is a horse in the last photo, it spoils the shot lol
  23. Stephen Blair
    sure does, thanks. my dad is good at that stuff, i will get him to do it. thanks
  24. Stephen Blair
    nice pics, the one i saw went into a liquidation auction, i think it made about 14k and it was under a year old. it went down south i think. it just purrs away and where it went was amazing when i saw it working, the guys could feed the tracked chipper with it aswell. good on you mate for taking the leep and buying such a good bit of kit, takes guts to do that:thumbup1:
  25. Stephen Blair
    make business plan with projections on how the chipper will help you make money, then give it to them. but i would borrow of a family member if possible and offer them a better interest rate than what they are getting which shouldnt be to hard these days
