Had this recently.... even rang hmrc up as didn't want to believe my accountant lol 😆 Your vat reg, charge vat.
-
Sounds awful, but dumpers suggestion sounds good then.... scaffold and small grinder. And most of all...... Charge plenty for an inconvenience pain in the arse job 😀
-
Like ****************...... Come on! Thats clearly a cut to stump job and poison and walk away.... let the builders sort the stump and roots as they dismantle sections of the wall and repair. You or someone will make a right pigs ear of that if you grind! (claw away with a digger if you have to gently but no no to a stump grinder)

He's like you say naive or plays dumb and just a winging twat questioning and bidding 2 sides of stupid questions / arguments against each other. Like radio Jeremy Kyle. I suppose its what folks like to listen to nowadays. Pointless shit to distract them from their lives or getting forwards
-
Scott Mills is the replacement I believe... ohh my he is shite and annoying..... With that and that prick Jeremy vine it's gna be hard to tune in nowadays.....
-
I wouldn't say undercut.... that word gets thrown about too often. I would say some can go work cheaper or have less work in their diary so can jump on sooner. And then some folk will be a bit desperate
-
I'd say this interest rates and energy scare tactics are coming in early..... I'd say its a lot more quiet on enquiries at the moment. A lot more window shoppers too.... There are some folk still with money that will get things done but a lot that either won't or will wait for people to go cheaper or find someone cheaper. A lot recently I have found if you ring back maybe 2 days later, some one has allready been out to price and even some folk are doing the jobs near straight away! Folk just do not like to wait but if you've a full diary what can you do. I try to be optimistic but I fear things will get a lot quieter sooner than later.... you can't even blame it on summer holiday lol as they're not even here yet....
-
Just get the deposit put down and worry about the rest later lol 😆 No videos?
-
I think personally the smart thing to do would be to get someone to price them.... If your hell bent on doing it yourselves : Up your budget slightly. Buy a driven hydraulic machine like a vermeer sc252 or rayco 1625..... stumps will be a lot easier for you and your back! with the above machines, you stand to the side and use levers to grind the stump and drive the grinder. Lot easier than ragging yourself to bits with pedestrian grinder. Do the stumps and move the grinder on for very little depreciation!
-
I was wondering that.... A friend sent me a video a good while back of a new tracked 540 or even 550 demo video and it was absolutely pathetic.... You wouldn't have parted with your brass with that performance!
-
Didn't they go small crappy engine?
-
Ahh balls.... better get my wallet out again then! Ebay sort me out hopefully
-
Right I've ordered it... if its shite, its on you Gary lol
-
These are the ports I want to check
-
Right Gary hopefully that box will do and get more connectors as needed I see yours is for the tractor spools etc 👍
-
Just wondering what kit people have or use please for checking pressures on their diggers, stump grinders and chippers etc? All seem much of a much Ness..... Spotted this on ebay : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm?itemId=401619232165&du=1 Not a clue what connectors I need but on the grinder and chipper seem like small quick fit connectors and the male on the grinder and chipper is approx 12mm dia.... handy they both seem the same. Anyone have one then and what or where did you get it from? Thanks
-
I'd have that 955 and the 56 series in the back ground 😎
-
183.9 p at my local..... 185.9p the other day down in Hampshire..... 199.9p at motor way services
-
Don't worry Hodge.... trigger Andy is a dick most days. Someone must have put 50p in him
-
Don't know if I've got the same one or not.... handy little thing tbh.... not powerful etc. Quite quiet. Ideal for the side of the chipper and nipping off side branches etc. Will cut some bigger diameter wood but that's where your battery drains.... if its for cross cutting don't bother. Snedding for chipper we've had the battery last for a good few hours in a morning. Chains arnt the nicest. Bit grabby horrible vibe... was wondering if a 200t chain might fit at some point. Chain tensioner setups a bit of a faff and a bit crap but it all works
-
You'd have to see if they make a wheel for your grinder. Not sure if you can fund out online? Alternatively you can get a rhino wheel and look at rhino teeth. Rhino teeth also work with the std predator wheel and keepers etc

Advice: Which Stump Grinder for my Small Business
swinny replied to Jamie Jones's topic in Business Management
I have just put my vermeer sc252 up for sale 25hp tatty but good machine 3500 plus vat -
Once you start hitting crap with them they soon wear their edge and pissing in the wind. 28 quid for the lead cutters, not like greens or yellow jackets and a quick turn or cheaper teeth (albeit more of them)
-
It seems currently that we keep getting hammered with punctures and its due to the yard that I am in, nothing I can do about this. Only issue is nowadays, the garages cant be arsed doing puncture repairs and if the do its 20 quid plus vat for a repair! We've had between 4-5 punctures in the last couple of months! so it adds up and i'm getting annoyed with it. I'm just wondering if anyone uses kits like this anymore? 6pcs Motorcycle Car Tire Repair Tools Tubeless Tyre Puncture Needle Patch WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Compatible with: vehicles with tubeless tires, this kit will allow you to repair perforations quickly and efficiently. This is... Maybe not specifically this one as its first example i could find but same setup.

Im just wondering what grinder wheel people use to tickle up teeth when on site with a 4 1/2" grinder? and if so where you got from? Im using multitip at the moment and would be nice to try tickle them up on site rather than just swap them out all the time. I hope its worth while lol Many thanks
