  1. enlighten me then lol I would't like to think i'd hire my machines out! Some of the stumps i've seen being ground out with hired grinders stumps with walls running through and gate hangers
  2. cheers chris will have a look on website. Seems there is a bit of a void around here for things like this.... its either 40miles in one direction or the other lol
  3. you hiring it out to me? Actually thought of getting you in to do the job and i could stand about looking good
  4. Does anyone know of any companies that hire out LARGE stump grinders and other plant machinery.... Its good to have a few contacts! I know there's beaver plant at york but not sure where else there is...
  5. Jst curious to know what people do with their old saws after you get new etc... do you keep? Or sell on? Even if they still work.... also some newer models dont interchange bits... so do you keep or flog?
  6. Marc what tractor is pulling that trailer in your avatar/pic? also what weight was it pulling there?
  7. and you too... i'll give a pass on that
  8. where are you based?
  9. Just browsing and found this: http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/219910.htm
  10. thats a nightmare.... their the customers that make you want to give up doing logs.... until you deliver to a nice one again... lol
  11. Welcome chris all the best for 2013
  12. whats everything?
  13. Think i'll be upping prices this year again... you have to try and work smart don't you, even by a fiver or so, you earn more but work less or something like that lol
  14. And do it PROPERLY!! I recently drained fuel out of my tractor, then filled with new fuel, as you'd expect (hind sight) empty tank, pour in fuel, stir all sh1t up in bottom of tank... into lift pump, block fuel filter and be a general pain in the arse.... All rectified when i removed tank, power washed out, cleaned fuel lines and lift pump and renewed fuel filter.... what a couple of manic days All before i take it on its first outing! long way!!!
  15. Its dearer than what people do round here lol It would be good at 50.00 if delivered locally... only thing with more people doing it is that "some" want to be cheaper to sell more so drive prices down... 50.00 isn't bad depending on bag size
  16. The ratchet handle lever on the block is so you can really tension/remove slack from your rigging line
  17. Yup i run a berlingo also
  18. WHeres zetland estate? Sorry to hear about this sh1ts!
  19. You've got to realise when you get weight on the vehicle like a 3.5t tipper and towing... then fuel economy goes really down... 18-20mpg sometimes...
