Good advert, makes you seem a bit of a tool in some ways, but i get it, although its a bit OTT at times.IMO no one will ever work as hard as the boss because they're not getting paid like the boss. If they do they're selling themselves short. However your bang on with the respect presentation, football and all the rest lol.

The only time i've had this happen is whilst using a shagged chain usually on a saw thats a bit small for the job. as mentioned CS30/31 only cover materila up to 15" and its usually all done on tiny stuff like chestnut coppice stools so it means nothing when attacking a fair sized lump of cedar like that. cutting bigger should be common sense i was cutting 3ft+ timber before i had any tickets its just common sense, but not for all i guess. I personally would have supplied a bigger saw, at least a 36 with a 20" bar for that job as its better suited and probably would have stopped that happening. But if your sure your saw had a tip top chain, then with a years experience and some tickets he should have been able to cut that straighter than that even with a tiny bar....you know what happened better than any of us so we can't really judge. its easy for people on here to say it must have been the equipment as we're all capable of doing that job fine with a saw that works properly...But maybe your guy can't.

lol, thats it guilt him into it!

Tipper, I had my Transit tipper and a LWB Sprinter 311 CDi I got caugfht out and had to use the sprinter for a few small jobs and it was awful. Pain inthe arse loading brash into it and then unloading it again made the day much harder and longer. Wasn't too bad for putting big lumps of stem into as the back is nice and low comapred to a tipper, still hard to get them out. But it was fast, quiet and good for motocross, but has since been traded for a fast car :-(. You can find a decent tipper for £2500 easy just get a smiley transit you'll get a really nice one for that money, or even half that. Mine was £750 and stands me in about £1100 afer building a high sided body on it and replacing both front wings, arches and sills + a bit of paint. But you will struggle to find a tify Mk.6 for that money.

If you like :-). I see where your coming from but if educating them means they just think my bag is smaller than a competitors identical bag, and drives business away, it hardly encourages me to do it.

We all know that a builders bag isn't a cube but customer slike to think so, and i'm not about to change that. I've tryed educating a few times and then they wanted to go and buy someone elses magic builders bag that is a cube or "half a ton" or whatever **** they have been fed, so i now just go along with it as long as they're happy.
-
Are we calling a cube a builders bag here? I sell a builders bag for £75 and will stack it as long as access is half resonable for that price. Full truck load generally slightly heaped, for £150. I met my 'almost' ha girlfriends boss last week picking some stuff up from his big house and seeing the signs on the van asked if i had logs I told him yes, £80 a load (transit tipper, approx 3x2m) and he was shocked, and told me he usually gets his logs from a guy with a 'Big Unimog' and he does him a whole load from the back of that for £80! He didn;t specify how big the bed on the mog was but i guess its gotta be at least the size of mine or probably alot bigger. I mentioned mine were 'seasoned' and split but this didn't seem to make alot of difference. I dunno how someone can bring themselves to sell such a large volume of logs so cheap, especially if they are processed to the same standards as mine, its rediculously cheap, and he's running a mog!

if the csacks are ina small yard can;t they just be moved to a larger truck outside with a 360 or forklift or whatever you have, should all go on one artic then, depending how much you need to shift.
-
Same as this, get off army blokes at your local Market £40 got me bottoms and top with massive hood. bloody tough too i've done Motocross, 3 hour hare and hounds races on them getting ripped past gorse and brambles all day long, as well as the standard abuse at work building, landscaping, grounding and climbing, great stuff.

With an Aston Martin in the garage I doubt the financial loss is their main motivation in the decision. Just brace is and put it in wiriting that it doesn't mean it wont fail, its purely a measure taken to give it a bit more time, should be fine unless the customers a bit dodgy
-
aren;t they all designed to tear? Otherwise i would have just cut a short piece of climbing rope and used that. Just get one that allows you to take advantage of the full length of your arm. Its really annoying to go to cut a branch you can touch but the strop wont let you get the saw to it!
-
Looks fine to me, considering they're paying you to use it.
-
looks like type A gladiators on special offer for me then
-
Aviva, one of the few companies who will insure tippers
-
Are you guys climbing the type A gladiator's? you say they are less stretchy but are they still good to climb in, i'm not worried about the lack of all round protection
-
price for day rate of groundie with tipper and chipper

I've searched on here and looked around quite a few retailers websites and can,t find what the difference is between normal stretch airs and the gladiator model so can someone tell me, please?
-
anyone know the scaffoldining weight capacity??
Billy replied to mikecotterill's topic in General chat
should take anything you'll put in there fine, saws generators etc. -
one end of my climbing line, no side strop until it starts to affect my positioning/confidence. Seems much faster with less to get tangled like that, just one rope to a good central anchor
-
as per title leave a message here or pm me if interested, thanks.

Mercedes make 4x4 sprinters, head and shoulders above the transit anyway why not get them? I think the Varios, the 5 to 8 ton bigger version can be specced with 4wd too. Much nicer vehicles to run in every way.
