I've been thinking about getting a small battery ground saw for next to the chipper etc and when lads need to just snip bits up once lowered. Only really for prep for chipper to be fair. What is there out there that's reasonable? I've seen some Stihl at 300 odd quid but is there anything cheaper that would do the job? Lads may hate this idea so might not even get used much at all. I have no interest In any other battery gear so using batteries for other things would not apply. Thanks in advance.

Another side point to this is why are we paying road duty on unleaded fuel when it's for the saws and stump grinder etc? That takes the piss too

Exactly....all them machines full of white diesel.. A diesel thiefs wet dream. They won't give a toss about how much damage they do to get it out. Lost fuel cap, drill hole in a tank, rip off panels... Hundreds in repairs possibly each time. Then what? Insurance claim? Insurance rockets for the whole sector then and will become the norm. Bad enough keeping red in the tank let alone white.

You use red at the mo in your planyt\ digger? You be happy to put white in it?

What does it weigh?

Nice big piece of cedar here for you Simon before it goes off for biomass

Well. Funny you should say.... My motor just come up for its first MOT and tester picked up on no marker lights..... I said there were never any on the old transit and that had been tested there for years! Anything 2.1m wide is it? He says all this size should have on so like all the Tesco's, Sainsbury's and Asda vans etc all-sorts.... Wagged it this time anyhow. Plan to do the same next time aswell lol. Roads I drive on they will get ripped off easy

Yes agrotron or a silver hurlimann. Never see many about for sale and go quickly. Think it must be bad timing as there was a few at one point last year but mainly newer stuff about. Quite a few deutz 4 pots with bigger HP about.... In the 40k plus region though
-
Yes, but it's trying to buy something that won't depreciate much.... Problem is price of newer tractors being more keeping used prices high.... 23-28k for anything around the age you want

Good luck and I will be following this with interest! I've been going round in circles for a while on a tractor upgrade. Don't think newer and simple go together with tractors... Be Interesting to see what you go for. Where you looking for tractors? Dealers and eBay etc?

Has Your Arb Insurance Cover Claim Been Paid Out?
swinny replied to Jamie Jones's topic in Insurance Forum
What's crackers is your premium went up.... But most likely so did every bugger else's. ( Not having a go here just at the way insurance works! ) I'm always told at renewal that ins has gone up as there's been a lot of theft. Royal pain for those who have never made a claim. NCB is a load of rubbish also. Hardly affects premium. One thing for sure is the insurance hardly ever loose out. -
And here's.me.thinking I hope it is heavy built and over 750kg! What does it weigh? Sorry if I have missed it

A good question to ask and something that should be displayed when people are looking for business from said companies! -
You not think that this will all end up with the Aa selling themselves to hse so we will all have to be Aa contractors to be doing tree work? Alterier motives and all....

Mainly Scots pine. The pile of oak was left for employees firewood. Wouldn't it have been cheaper for them to just buy the chip in? Just curious when sat here thinking of the costs of 2 people, vermeer, truck and chipper etc. Cheers

? What you mean Mick? Wasn't saying to flout owt. Just saying how can it go up if using a supposedly more safer system. I think the main problem is the amount of prats in this industry.... Hard to see how some have survived since off the nipple.... One lad told me Cari tool clips were banned on one site / firm due to some plonker clipping their main line to it.....
-
Can't understand why it would double... I think insurance are money grabbing bastards that are just out to capitalise on things.... Yours still just as competant as you were last year.... How has an additional rope and supposedly safer working techniques made your insurance go up? Bastards is the only word

A green predator? That looks a solid pulley on a square key way..... I would say that you need the puller back on that and something to stop your puller damaging the threads on the shaft.

Never used one of them before but have recently seen another firm using one and thought they looked great!
