I'm sure many of us have thought that. Unless there is some huge hidden cost in the process there seems to be a good mark up on them.
-
You'd get a decent mk4 L200 for that money.
-
Cheers guys. This might up being too ambitious. Often the simplest option is the best. Perhaps just mounting a petrol one would be best.

Most are pto driven but as something I am going to put together myself I'm not sure I could make the articulation work. Obviously there are chippers than work on a 3pl that can then have a trailer attached but they are going to be much bigger than I need. The hope was trailer hitch to tractor. Two hydraulic lines running between. Quick to disconnect, not a lot to go wrong!
-
Is anyone aware of any small hydraulic chippers? I am looking at putting together a small set up specifically for working on basal growth work on streets. My plan was to use a compact tractor and small-ish tipping trailer (1-1.5t) with a lightweight box built onto it. I was thinking about fitting a jo beau m200 or similar on the front of the trailer, blowing the chip into the box. The main aim of the set up being a narrow (<1.3m wide) unit that could happily be used for stop start work on streets and would not cause traffic issues. We wouldn't be chipping anything bigger than 20mm. Obviously something like a jo beau m200 would be fine but if something similar could be run off the tractor hydraulics it would be a more economical set up. I have not idea if such a small chipper exists though! Any ideas?

Half that and people start panic buying milk and bread!

Ferrirotor Rotor S Stump Drill / Grinder - wanted
richy_B replied to Morris's topic in Large equipment
I agree. A tracked grinder or a big 360 with a grinder head. -
The new customers you turn away could be your future regulars though...
-
First come, first serve. Turning away paying customers incase regulars come back is a risky strategy.

Paid 48.77ppl for 500 litres today. London.

Sorry Mick, hadn't realise you were based in France when I was asking about the VAT situation. Makes more sense now.
-
And they act like it got that big over night! Instead of the 40 years they've been looking at out of the kitchen window.
-
No disrespect to you or your product but that's a hefty price tag.
-
How much is one to fit a double cab (as pictured)?
-
Fair enough. For all intensive purposes it seems to qualify but I guess you might have an argument on your hands if you receive a VAT inspection, particularly if it's 'only for business use'. I wonder how this works with the Amarok or the 3 litre Navara for example.

How much is coppice woodland worth an acre?
richy_B replied to william127's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
A single acre or as part of a larger compartment? If you sold a single acre in the SE I'd imagine you could get £18k upwards. If you were selling 10 acres together I'd reckon 140-160k. -
Can I ask why the 200bhp model can't have the VAT reclaimed? It is a weight issue?
-
I was a big gold rush fan but it's just gets more and more farcical. All the staged 'quick the machine about to tip over' moments when it's obvious nothing is happening. And those Hoffmans! They should put the dog in charge, they'd be more organised....
-
I have bfg mud terrains on my l200 and had them previously on a ranger. Really good but noisey. I got a set of 4 fitted by a mobile fitter for £500. Pretty chuffed. No experience of the coopers.
-
3495kg if you want to be technical! The 4x2 is less but the 4x4 versions are full weight. Now whether you want to try and tow 3500kg with them is another matter! Definitely some ballast in the back I'd say.
-
Agreed. 3500kg tow weight as well.

I doubt it makes a huge amount of difference whether it is your home or rented from a rates perspective. The big difference will be in corporation tax. If you are paying a mortgage then the repayments are not tax deductible but the interest is. If you rent this is 100% deductible. The last thing would be does you mortgage, if applicable, allow the property to be used for commercial use.
-
My understanding is business rates are assessed on a combination of square meterage, type of 'space' (soft surface, hard standing, covered, steel framed building, brick building, etc) and then you get a multiplier based roughly on what you do/use it for. I imagine it varies locally quite a bit. For me 'covered storage' ie somewhere to park your machinery, had a rateable value of 17.50. If I used the same space as 'workshop' it was 32 per square metre. My multiplier was something like 0.48. There is an exemption for small businesses with only one premises when the value is under £6k. Then a sliding scale between 6k and 12k.
-
Maybe big corporate customers and the lads on the ground just grab what they need with asking the price.

I'm sure everyone has covered most points but I'd be apprehensive about taking a big pto onto a steep site on the back of an alpine. I have a agt 835 forestry spec and, as the all do, the handling is great but with 500kg+ on the back you'd be asking for trouble on wet slopes. As an alternative idea how about hiring a tracked dumper to get the tracked chipper in and about? £300-500 for a week but you could load the chipper into it then slow on the bad bits and put you foot down on the more level bits? I've used a 3 ton before and it was pretty quick.
