hi steve, get the sky guy in. i did once and he still turns out wee jobs for me, cutting back branches for dishes. a really good contact, because sky dont have this service as far as i know. They are usually 100quid silky jobs, the best! And debris straight into refuse bin. Everyone is a winner.

these are great ideas, and even though they seem expensive, looked after it will last you 10years, but it is the whole weight issue as Steve said. Am i right in thinking that American pickups are allowed to tow a serious amount more.

astra/escort van with trailer. keep it small. spend a couple of hundred quid on signwriting.

do you want a job mate, i think we would get on quite well:001_tongue:

dont want to cross thread, but i get called in from the council 2-3 times a year to remove a rope swing, it must be up about 50 feet on a monster oak full of regrowth(you know what a nightmare that is)it is deemed a safety issue. If i could find the wee lad that keeps putting one back up, what a climber. takes me a good 20 mins to get to it, its about 20 feet out a monster limb i have to come down on to it from a higher point. cutting my way along with silky

thy should always check that customer who asked them "if they could dispose of a dead bird that got into the house humainly" isnt at the window when you launch it thru the chipper in a baseball pitcher stance

i have done 40 footers that were 4 years old, they love the west coast of scotland gulf stream. slippery suckers. looked like a big python when on the deck.
-
thou loved the time he convinced the town lad that pheasants were viscious and wouldnt come back in the garden
-
thou shall always consult the "minge ometer" before entering the roll shop

i think i will take on some staff just to try that out, working yourself is less hassle but so boring and no laughs. Thy heardith once aboutith a groundie that left the site to go for a dump, after returning over 2 hrs later, said boss asked where the bleep had you been.The chap replied, i asked the lady along the road if i could use her loo, she replied certainly make yourelf at home. So why have you been over 2 hrs asked the boss The gentle giant groundsman replied " i had a bath" So thou shall never wash the baws in nieghbours bathroom with lufa:001_tongue:

i know what you are saying mate, i have the attention span of nat, but its worth 15k a year for one day a week with hand tools, nothing offsite for one man.

mine tows a 3 ton minidigger better than my old isuzu rodeo:001_smile: you only get stuck in a 4x4!
-
thou shall never give a passer-by 10p after he gives you a load of crap about the rainforest and go and tell him to go and phone someone who gives a xxxx thou shant ever have to hear your van door close from the other side of a house thy shall always use roll shop with the hottest lady workers Thy tries not to flirt with the gay customers, buttith they luvith itith really Thy knows the pink pound is the bestest Thou loveth the sizes of logs the workers can lift whenith girlies are walking bye

an experienced eye then, i would like to take a piece to a weigh bridge and see what my judgement is like.cheers mate
-
thou will be the only one who thinks they are cool in full climbing gear and spikes in the roll shop. thou shall disown your harness and brush when you take delivery of your first pole pruner and blower Thou shall always convince customer that large hedge reductions will come away better if you hold 046 at chest hieght not head hieght
-
better enjoy driving slow then mate.
-
how do you know what weight it would of been mate. Do you have a contract in place and get paid once they have it over weigh bridge or do lorries have scales?cheers
-
thou shall always refer to the phone in the halway as "back at the office" thou shall always rest your hand on new lads thigh while not changing gear, awaiting reaction. thou shall never release climbers death grip to said lads knee until he shouts "please put it in me" Thy groundy should never return from the shops with bosses fiver, with a redbull for himself and spar cola for me.
-
oh no mate what have you gone and started. i have a volkswagen window van. but i have had 4x4s and have used loads. If it is to look cool, be comfy and race up and down bumpy muddy tracks. i think the new navara aventura is awesome. or if you want none of the above and want a workhorse that will take a beating for 20 years join john hancocks gang.

i thought you said they were a good bunch of lads. lol (only jocking boys)ha ha

i dont know any mate, can anyone recommend a good one that covers scotland and national. sounds like you guys are needing some. if i could make money at it, i can soon get my hands on it. from coppice ash(12") to monster horrible stuff that i can rip down to processor size. And anything in the middle.
