Forst dont break down Johnny
-
Im talking no access for a lift, can they be dragged without damaging it? would the tracks lock up?
-
Always thought how screwed i would be if the tracked chipper broke down in the middle of nowhere! how would you move it, as in could you winch it onto a trailer? would it even move or would it knacker the hydraulics?
-
Don't do it, if it was easy they would do it themselves, they will want it doing for nawt! Decline his offer, you will make better money elsewhere
-
The business name is on the invoice, but as verbally asked to make payment out to me I assumed that would happen! All small jobs this week so I recon job done cash in hand sorted:thumbup1:
-
The woman i was ranting on about has coughed up yes, cheque in the business name so barclays will charge me, despite asking for it in my name! Some people either go out of their way to be arseholes or are genuinely dumb!
-
Ha ha
-
I always get asked how i want paying, cash cheque bank transfer is my answer, in future it will be cash or cheque on completion less hassle, as andy said the ability to take card payments would be good however the cost to operate such a machine, reliability and also the beating it will take means its not an option for me personally.
-
How do you actually enforce it though? surely a solicitors letter is going to cost.
-
We do commercial stuff too and 30-90 days is fine as this is made clear before we take on the work, its folk who have known for 4 weeks that we are coming and recon they have not had time to go to the bank and then take another week to do a bank transfer they can do in their living room
-
We turn up on time to price jobs, turn up on time to do the work clear up and i like to think we give a good service so why do customers insist on dragging payment out latest 1 is an oldish woman who lives a 2 min drive from me, did everything i said we would cleared up and when it comes to payment....nothing! i hate when you have to ask them to pay you after you have finished, she dodged the question twice then said when i give her an invoice she will put a cheque through my letterbox that was 4 days ago wtf in total we have 11 grand outstanding! its a joke.
-
Teaming it down here, really bad! Knocked todays jobs on the head.
-
As that man says, it flicks back when you switch it off, makes you think is it gonna switch off, has done everytime though
-
I got 1 last week, plenty of power, I just don't like the new on off switch.

simonm replied to mendiplogs's topic in Large equipment
You got your trailer yet jon? I'm off to look at 1 in a couple of weeks. -
Tbh we were really lucky as they came to us, nobody else tips there. Alot of other tip sites have banned other contractors from tipping as their chip was ful of ****! Nice clean chip tipped where they want it, everyone is a winner.
-
They are cool.
-
We must have dumped 100 tonne at a riding school, local allotments are eating it faster than we can chip it. Sometimes i have found that the longer you are in business the more things tend to come to you "including people asking for chip"
-
That just looks like a bench grinder?
-
What type of grinder would be needed?
-
Already got a flat screwdriver I've bent the end over in the vice, was my best screwdriver too
-
We once hired a tracked skid steer with flail to mash up loads of overgrown mess on a huge traffic island, perfect for the job. Struggled a bit to find 1 as mts had them all out on sites erecting wind turbines. 99% of our jobs wouldn't have access for a machine of that size anyway, I would have thought there would be more work for a mini digger with a good operator.
