Who's got the biggest badest chipper in the westcountry?

:confused1:I only have a 10" vermeer mate. -
Even with the tracks in those 530ts are mega stable?!?

Not a patch on massey mate. Case are fairly budget machines. (now mccormick, and they really are pretty crud). The 390 was a good solid machine, the only problem was that sometimes the oil seal to the front axle would go, but wasnt too big a job to sort it anyway.

There should be 2 rings in that saw.

The whole Chipper Hire thing... etc etc etc

YOu can hire a 6" machine for £89 from brandons and a plant etc, and an operator must be worth at least £120 a day just to stand there shoving sticks into a machine. TBH i wouldnt get involved with chip disposal- let your customer have the headache. If they need you to do the removal too then price for a tipper hire too maybe? -
I dont get the heater issue- I have a wonderful heater in my defender. If you are struggling then leave a bit of ply in front of the rad, and get rid of the viscous fan (pre TD5 of course). The viscous fan will help with power and fuel consumption too. I know a few tdi owners who have put electric fans in, and never use them even towing in the summer.

Or he isnt greedy? I have met the lad in question, and worked with him. He has his head screwed on, and is happy with his price, and isnt a toatl newbie and works like stink. Personally i think he ought to charge more, but it obviously works for him. I rent my machine with myself for minimum £200/ day for a 9" vermeer. -
Well done mate! Good thread too- I am sure there are many 'newbies' on arbtalk who are, or soon are to be, in the same boat as you.

I was recently dragged into a customers neighbourly dispute over a leylandii hedge. It seems that only after all courses of mediation betwen concerned parties have been exhausted that a court will get involved. It is then looked at on a case by case basis, taking into account the distance from the house, the effect on the amount of light getting to the house, etc etc. Apparently the commonest outcome is that the owner of a hedge who refuses to be neighbourly will have an ASBO awarded to them, but both parties are usually told to sort their differences out first, the court only getting involved as a last resort. There also appears to be quite a variation in the approach taken by councils across the country.
