Now this is why I put it on arbtalk there's always some great advice 👍👍 glad you all have the same thoughts as me I lost a job I put the tpo application in for because it was that much cheaper for the council to do the job the home owner just paid me for the application a 3 day job the council priced it for 1 day but it took them 4 days to get it done we all miss price jobs from time to time but the council will never learn because they have nothing to lose

The councils are all corrupt if work was contracted out that £400k a year would be less than halved

So surely are council tax should go down if there making money but yet that won't happen I'd rather them sit round drinking tea than lowering all our prices

My mate in the council said all in there 3 man team costs £400k to run a year

It's the tree officer that's pushing it every tpo job that he approves gets a quote sent with the confirmation

They can lose on every job but through the council books it's 100% profit as the teams,gear,trucks,Chipper's and stump grinder is already paid for by the tax payer if a 1 day job takes a week it doesn't matter

It's 100% true they run one team now doing council work and private work now there putting a second team on the road to do private/contracting work could this be stopped they put a price in for every tpo job and obviously it doesn't matter if they make a profit off the job because the council tax pays for the teams to run so if they quote cheap it doesn't matter

Hi As the title says my local council is doing paid works so every tpo application that goes in to the council they send a quote to do the work and will there be a bit of well if you give us the work we will grant permission going on? is this a common thing and is it a good use of tax payers money I'm just looking for a few opinions on the situation Thanks 👍

As title might be a daft question but who's the uk fae dealer Thanks in advance for replies

Prices are area dependent round here man and grinder will be £350-450 for the day that's with a good machine

Have a look on the unimog rocks thread for skyhooks chipper mog trailer set up you won't find a much better set up than his. A C price is your man to speak to I used Atkinson vos a few times aswell they sell realy good chip boxes

Do you have any pictures of it in action

Hi this has probably been covered but does anybody have 1 what make and how good?got a price off seppi today and it was a suprise with all the bells and whistles £16990 £15500 standard I rang Rikco and there not selling them at the moment is there any other options?want to keep my Carlton 4012 for domestic didn't realy want to put 30k in a 7015 Carlton or big bandit Thanks mark

That's what I think they are worth. it is the same round here firms sending climber and a groundie out with van and chipper for £300 -£400 a day and it's not enuf the groundie will be on £50 and climber £80 a proper tree surgery team should be £500 minimum there's to meny willing to under cut!afew of my mates are plumbers sparckeys and teacher and wouldn't even think about setting off for less that £150 a day tree work deserves To be the same level

Surely in this day and age a good groundie would be worth £100 a day fully ticketed up with b+e and a good climber £120 just my opinion and also you just have the £50 a day brash draggers don't confuse them with a good groundie
