well said, i have only been a member for about a week.i need a new laptop, this one is about burnt out. My brain is lighter, just being able to unload all my questions theorys and opinions. think how lucky young Dak is, within 3 posts of a thread, he has been given a reference from buzz, to get himself some work. It took me 3 years to get a start with someone, and he was an idiot.then another 6 months gap then i got a job with a cowboy. if only i had a bit of guidance and honest advice from guys like you when i was 18. i got there in the end, but i made a lot of mistakes getting there. 3 cheers for steve bullman and a big pat on the back for all of you, some may say we are in for some rough times ahead, but when has this job ever been easy.head down and arse up.thats what i was told.all the best folks

hi steve, i dont know how to get the utube stuff up on screen. maybe you can help.

hi dave,the fabricator made it far too heavy. it is solid and well made but over engineered.
by the time i put on the chipper, it was too heavy for the mog. it will lift it no bother but i would have to add weights to the front. but i made it 2 yrs ago and since then i have bought a valmet roofmount.
it is a cracking crane, i was going to keep it and maybe use it for a firewood processor that you could self load.
but hey, i have enough stuff lying around.
i would take 3k for it, because that is what i need to clear the original loan on the shredder.
if you are close feel free to come for a look. i am in largs, 30 miles sw of glasgow.cheers

happy birthday too you all.have a good one.

someone gave me a shot of zambuca once, so i thought. it was tibasco. i never noticed because i was so wasted. but lets just say my arse was like the japanese flag the next day.

awesome, great set up, i would love something like that, have you seen the guy on u tube. i think his name is michael poor. you have big kahoonas mate, 1 for having the guts to invest in excellent kit and 2 for using it like you do. i will pm you on costs for trailer. if that isnt being too rude.stevie
-
i would go and see the guy buzz mentioned.spend a week doing all the crap jobs in the wind and rain.He will give you anything you need at first. dont expect to be the cool guy swinging about the tree. see if you like it. if you do like it, i have loads of stuff i can give you to get you started. you can pay me back when you are a rich man.

maybe his gran is needing a new car, and he could be named driver.

aint a loop hole mate just a huge grey area. stick a snow plough on the front of it just to cover yourself.
-
if you fail mate dont worry, get an old mog, fill it with cherry and use your provisional.but watch what trailers you use.
-
21 and obviously intelgent. if you arent fit you better get fit. if you dont have too many financial strains, then dont worry about the crunch, you are in the right hands here. speak to buzz. i met him yesterday, sound guy. he will keep you right and he lives in your area, he has loads of good contacts and friends in the industry. it might seem a bit doom and gloom just now but this is the best job in the world, playing up trees with chainsaws.all the best for the future mate.

swap your 026 for it mate.

l have one of those back pack attachments for hanging a pole saw on to save my back. i am too skinny for it to get a grip round my waste, would suit a larger gentleman. really good though if i was fatter. i need nigella over with a few puddings.

no one can show you how to have big balls you cant hire or buy them you earn them. as long as you go up with 10 fingers and come down with 10 fingers you will be ok mate.

hi there, i am selling some bits of kit just now and i have had some interest but speculate to accumulate is one thing but spending money just now is another.but i think most of us are all thinking what we can do to get some work, and having time on your hands does give you time to think. all our ideas crazy to some but genius to others will always differ either to market, location or general interest in chasing work down a particular rd. most of us i think will have pieces of kit lying about not getting used, for one reason or another why not swap it for something that you have always wanted to try but not to sure if it will be ideal. worse case senario is you have something of similar value not getting used. or is this just pipe dream to my ideal world. or is there already something in place i havent noticed?
