You are spot on there.

Would be nice pal

When my numbers come up i most definitely will not be looking at vans or trucks lol...maybe

I should have being a tradesman...do you think chippys have conversations & dilemmas over which hammer to buy

where abouts in the uk are they built?...what made you choose the 230?

That looks painfully slow

Just interesting to see if a tr8 is too big for domestic stuff.

Redwoods are bringing 1 on Thursday next week for a demo, offered a good finance deal also

I think that's part of our problem not having all the kit to do a job as quick as others can.

Not tracked though...Did you take all that timber off us from John Deere in Nottingham?

i spent £650 on a tiny box advert, all i got was how much to cut a tree down, and i have being quoted less than that. took 6 months to get them to finally stop badgering me! waste of time.

Apparently £4500 for 3 men 5 days site clearance, everything chipped up some climbing as trees are in bt lines, all timber off site and drove a 12 mile 1 way trip. Around 9 trips at best & haulage for our little tractor is also too much! another firm quoted half that they recon! being told i need to evaluate my costings! Are we really pricing above everyone else?

I have just being told by a construction firm that £500 a day for 2 men tracked chipper tools 8 hours on site is too much! Wtf

I used to like shiney new things...but now i think that tried and tested with a proven track record is the way forward think i have already made my mind up.

Replaced? what with? They are £30,080

I will tell you when we have demoed the Forst, there is 1 coming this way next week ive been told, going to throw some brash through it. 190 is beast in my eyes so it will have a lot to live up to. Plus Timberwolf are offering **** hot subsidised finance at the minute...forst are not!

£31,140.00 thats including the vat. Do you have the tr6?

I thought loler covered all climbing gear including flip lines as they are life critical...i have a new england flipline and mine also has black plastic heated and melted onto the spliced bit. never really thought about it failing!

That is why i am asking as we are trying to choose between the forst tr8 and timberwolf 190tftr

Nobody has any experiences of using forst chippers?

People like that are all mouth, its the ones who say nowt that usually try and get 1 over! Your doing the right thing though.

That only went out for tender a month ago. They are on the ball

Is that tree saw? and near pontefract castle?

Your on the right track their

I know their has been threads on here regarding keeping kit safe but after hearing of more and more stuff getting stolen thought id put my take on the subject. Keeping your tackle in a garden shed is NOT a secure place, neither is leaving it in the back of a van, landy etc. We always empty the van after work after catching scum on cctv looking through the windows, their is snotty old waterprofs inside and that's it. To stop a thief you have to think like 1! how would you break in? where would you look for stuff? locks locks and more locks! lights, cameras, Lock boxes bolted to the floor with extra locks welded and shielded, chains through saw handles, ground anchors etc. i got told that the key to not getting stuff nicked is to make your tackle look harder to steal than the next mans! I i know that if they are determined then they are going to get in, but you wanna make the bast*r#s work hard for their money! Don't leave gear unattended on site, a chain on the cab floor and through saw handles is a good deterrent. Most scum bags who steal while your on site are opportunistic and are praying you forgot to lock the van, or left a saw for 30 secs while you get something. Its a Ball ache keeping your eye on stuff and faffing with locks but worth it if you get 1 over the thieving gits A mate of mine constantly leaves his van unlocked on site with stuff inside, or leaves blowers on the path while he goes in the back garden to drag some brash. Then wonders why his stuff has got nicked
