i like the rotties and sleeping bag option but somehow i dont think the missuis would be too happy lol...ive just spent £200 on 3 locks un a cropper resistant chain...has any1 heared of those trip wire things? its a blank shotgun cartridge in a holder round back of door and like fishing wire across the door so when u walk into the wire the cartridge goes off??? what they called?

ive thought about taking wheels off but 1st time they go in an see no wheels second time they mite come back with wheels "doesnt take much 2 get crappy wheels on it" ive seen those battery powered alarms thought about that too just think they wouldnt be right loud???i can back the van up to the front of garage door. its the back thats the problem though because its that sectional concrete crap its only got 3 bolts in each section thats why i was going to put bollards behind it too...how much are those trackers??

ive recently bought a new chipper the only place i can keep it is in a prefab garage opposite my house! its pretty dark and quiet there and plenty of people will see the machine goin in and out so this weekend im gettin some welding going i thought about 2 steel posts concreted in behind it that cant be removed a security bollard infront to box it in with a lock box ova padlock "made from 5 mill thick box section not 1 from wickes made of wotsits" a ground anchor underneath chained through A frame and a lock box over towing eye so it cant be hitched up and towed away oh and a wheel clamp!!! when i think about it it seems exessive but i really cant afford it to get stolen! any1 got any other ideas? oh an theres no way of gettting power to garage so an alarm in out of the question! any ideas would be greatly apreciated.

just looked on ebay turns out the seller was dodgy got an email from them sayin their account had been cancelled! scumbags

ive asked about viewing but the seller seems to have gone quiet! gunna see what happens deffo a cash on collection jobby me thinks

ive asked if i can go view and if theres prof of ownership its only a few mile away...no reply tho al give it while tomorrow and see what comes of it thanx for your advice

yeah thats the 1 what you think?

i just sent a msg asking why it needed all them bits if its done no work at all seller says and i quote "I thought it was fair to sell it with the new belts & rollers.. Is this a bad thing ?" sounds too good to be true! just asked if i could view it and if they have prof of ownership...am sure ive heared somewhere that entec/timberwolf can find out who owns the machine from the serial number do you know if its true?

sorry i have no idea how to make a link! if you search for entec it should come up

just seen on ebay a 2000 entec 35dh looks brand new says its only got 70 hours on clock:confused1: surely this is wrong?! asked the seller if the clock is wrong and when was last service and if its had new pullys rollers belts etc seller replys " the clock is correct its had little use and its recently had new pullys belts and rollers"! im no expert but surely a machine thats only done 70 hours would not want new pullys and rollers? i can understand new belts as rubber would perish even with no use? sounds fishy to me.

Where can i get parts for a kwikchip chipper? anyone?

is it petrol or diesel the 222? are they not been built anymore because i cant seem to find anything about them on google...did you have any trouble with the turbo? ive heared roumers of them just blowing up!

KWIKCHIP 222 6" feed...anybody know anything about them? any good or not worth bothering with??

think its about time we got a new van...was thinking about a newish transit or maybe an iveco!!! any ideas? want something as low on fuel as possible...whats everyone driving round in??

anybody know where i can get sum stein bergsteiger pro boots from? SIZE 9 nobody seems to have any left in a 9!

ive been fully qualified 4 quite a few years now although ive neve done tree work full time! am 27 ive worked on a farm for 11 years and for roughly 8 of those ive worked most weekends with my friend whos a full time tree surgeon basically all of the work we get is through word of mouth. theres not really enough work to set up on my own an go full time allthough ultimatly this is what i wanna do. ive got the funds to buy more tackle so we can do bigger jobs and most other things are already in place. im just worried about making the leap into the unknown how could i get more work in? what if i cant get enough work in? what do i do when winter comes round? an also the van weve got is battered i dont think it will last another year am just concerned about laying a load of money out on a new van then finding out ive not enough work for it! anyone else either in my situation or has been there??? any advice about starting up would be greatly apreciated

anyone know a good shop round leeds area that sells ppe saws climing equipment the works? ive tried google but everywhere seems to be down south! i dont mind travelling as long as its not 100 mile away

cheers for that matey its grately appreciated

hi simon, i only started in sept on my own and i'm kicking myself for not doing it years ago.

the monies good, the hours better.

 

get it done, you'll love it

where do u get rid of all waste? theres loadz of farms round ere was thinking bout knocking on sum doors and seeing if i cud get permission to tip...also do u advertise in local paper etc?

ive been working as a tree surgeon 4 the last 10 years now and am thinking about setting up on my own in the leeds area...is it the wrong time to be setting up on my own in the middle of a recession? am just a bit worried that people wont be spending so much espech on tree work.
