  1. When I served on the Torbay lifeboat we regularly had excersises with helicopters, either Portland or Navy, what those pilots can't do with a helicopter isn't worth doing, the Pilots and Navy officers are required to winch to and from a moving vessel, might be worth finding out when this is and hook up, they were only to pleased to get involved when we made the call, sounds like your day was pretty cool!
  2. I was very close to getting done a few years back, if it wasn't for a member staff at the post office I would be down 3.5k! Good luck with your case.
  3. Great work lads! Tunes go well with video, keep posting monkey.
  4. Nothing but in return we take care of trees for farmer and 2 days sheep shearing every year.
  5. Awesome!! Living MY dream!
  6. Awful news! Thoughts to his family and friends.
  7. Once my pants are wet that's it! When it's raining heavily the lads are constantly enquiring as to the wetness of my pants, not good if a client over hears!
  8. Check sensor on fly wheel, had the same problem few months back, replaced sensor now sorted, wasn't big bucks either.

  12. Looks like aphid, looking at photos too late to pull hedge back to good health, remove hedge and roots, enrich soil and re-plant.

  14. My boys are 16 and 12yrs, I'm still buzzing! Congratulations!!
  15. In the past I would say we had a success rate of 60/70%, recently much less, even with previous clients their getting other quotes, I haven't increased our prices for 2 yrs to try and retain a good number of customers but it seems people are really struggling at the moment and if they can save £20 then their off, I'm by no way expensive but there are individuals willing to do it for less.
  16. Thanks for posting Reg, found your vids very informative, do you have any others I can have a look at? Thanks again John
  17. Not sure I would either, you can get a decent truck and chipper for 25k!!
  18. Havent clapped eyes on one of these before, Check it out, Ebay Item number: 170849794119m I dont know how to upload pictures so if someone with a bit more know how than me can put them up for all to see that would be handy.
  19. I have tried flyers and didn't get a single enquiry, that's not to say if we delivered a load more next week we would get enquiries, right place right time, we were very quiet early in the year, the phone didn't ring for weeks! Couple of weeks ago a client rang us for some work which included gardening and general maintenance, since then they have given us loads of work, they have a few large properties which we have been given to sort out, since that initial call work seems to be picking up, my point is, stay positive as 1 phone call can make all the difference and be prepared to diversify.
  20. Hi Steve, love your new Mog, I hope you've got a business plan for it....! Hope your keeping busy, John. (Devon)
  21. Hi, We are based in Devon and are interested in this, we also have a 17m MEWP available, thanks.
  22. Possibly sensor on the rear of the fly wheel.
  23. Hope he's ok, must have been a right shock!
  24. I'm fat now so got nothing to lose!
