Tight sods round here try and offer 80-90 quid a day... Thats terrible and taking the p1ss i think, but aparently there's plenty that will climb for that thats when i say, sorry not me

You'll be hard pressed to compete with the "tree runner " is it? only about 125.00 Have you checked the market and what else is there ( don't mean to offend if you allready have)

Makes me laugh when people say your too cheap .... They don't know your situation, or your market! For instance, logs for eg, people begrudge paying "X" amount for a bag, but 20 miles down the road i could get 20-30 quid a bag more.... You can only get what you can get, and you make sure you get as much as you can! Cover your costs, wages and be happy! You could go in higher and loose out on work by joe bloggs dwon the road under cutting you, then your in a worse position than before..... You know what your worth and when you achieve your day rate you want you'll be happy Tbh i would like my day rate to go up and think it should as i know and OTHERS know what i can do in a day, but the likely hood of that happening at the moment isn't feasable due to how things are economy wise and money being tight.....

Is it buggery lol

Deffinetly good advice! always a pain seeing people wasting time trying to move big piles with a bower

Processor i've used would take up to 14" but was quicker and more beneficial with 8-10" timber. The smaller stuff you could just cut to size in the processor and not need to split so it may work out When it comes to bigger rings, they would be halved or quartered and dropped into the splitter part So its possible.... just depends on what the cost would be in getting someone in or hireing one in yourself and your time etc...

is it easy to tell what type of bee they are?

The bigger stuff looks like it wouldn't, some of the other stuff looks like it should have been through the chipper, is there anything medium diameter? And straight'ish?

Firm i've worked for had a bandit 90 behind a 3.5t truck, just found out it's just under 2 tonne! going off website specs, it hated it really.... didn't like setting off but once going was ok. I've pulled 2.5 tonne with my old ldv and it was fine, pulled like a good one! Yet to pull a big weight with the iveco yet... You can always tell that there's a chipper behind regardless of which it is anyhow.

Hi there, Just wondering what the best approach would be to replanting after stump grinding, where a conifer hedge has been removed and ground, and grindings left on site. There's plenty of soil amongst the grindings. Was going to give it a while to settle, rake it level again and then plant away with a bit of compost aswell..... Is this ok? and would adding any bone meal etc be worth while? Cheers

Still not heard anything about places etc... sent mine off inc cheque ages ago, Hope there isn't priority to the AA members, thought it was first come first served Hoping something will turn up in the post, or be contacted soon

Remove the stubs now i'd say

Thats not bad is it! A bigger deposit would lower the monthly payments wouldn't it. I don't like stuff on finance tbh but thats not at all bad

Hi there everyone, What traffic control signs do you need and use? I was told the other day you need the bigger 750mm ones for 60mph roads, if you use the 600mm ones you can get told off! So what do you use? AND WHERE DO YOU GET YOURS FROM?? Cheers

Hi there, does anyone know what grade of oil the engine needs? Also what spark plugs this engine takes? As for oil filter, hoping that there is some numbers on the old one to cross reference at the automotive shop? Cheers Chris

Where are the designs? Is there a grey or green one i might have seen that caught my eye
-
Exactly other wise they would just be a normal 80-90 groundie a day
-
I thought that

I need to put my day rates up then! Although some won't pay! Some offer 80-90 a day climbing round here, needless to say i don't work for them! They still do get workers though....
