Do you rates go up as much as they should each year..
john p replied to benedmonds's topic in Business Management
Similar here, I don't have a day rate as such, it's whamming loads of little jobs in one day that I like, did an £800 day with just me and the groundie a week or two back, easy little jobs. Then last week was £550 between 3 of us on a gruelling day. Swings and roundabouts! TBH I'm through with the glory jobs, I still enjoy them but passed the stage of pricing to win them -
Ive been happy with imori/zigzag combo for a few years now, that said I haven't tried a different rope with the zigzag so maybe I don't know what I'm missing?

I'll put a few more tanks through it, it's not bad bad just lacks a bit of top end pep, love my tiny echo, revs it's bollox off, I'm sure this one will catch up!

Ten years ago I was a subby climber on £100 a day, these days when I very rarely freelance climb for others it's £150. -
Yea, my mewp is registered special vehicle, but I run on white, saves grief and if your not covering the difference in price by running that vehicle for work you might as well give up!

Another West Deaner! I grew up there, on the vineyard. -
I ran a 4x4 Bedford with winch and grab, was a brilliant tool but just didn't come out that often, i wish I'd kept it now, got a run of jobs it would of been perfect for
-
I like that a lot!

Has anyone got any turf tyres on rims to fit a kubota b6000? 6 stud rear 4 stud front preferably but can adapt 6 stud fronts if needs be. Cheers

I've gone from full time freelance climber to running my own show with freelancers, seems to be ticking along nicely. I've also started on breaking bad, seems like easy money!!!

I'm not criticising per se, just saying that being clever is not necessarily a pre requisite for getting a long way in politics! Mr Johnson is no fool, but I doubt he'd be foreign secretary without the start in life he has had. I'm trying not to sound chippy or class war but it's just the way I see it.

The thing is with his start in life, connections, education, old boys network etc you can be thick as [emoji200][emoji90]and still reach the top, he was 3/4 of the way there at birth.

I can't wait to get my hands on this saw, it could be one of the biggest advancements in the industry in a while
-
I have to own one. Looks amazing!
-
Not off hand, it was a post on fbook by forest machine operator I think, had photos, it's a really smart looking saw
-
Have you seen the prototype ms500i, 80 odd cc with fuel injection, apparently same power as 661 with 461 weight and stupidly fast acceleration! I'm gonna be waiting outside the shop like an iPhone addict on release date.

Really interesting, thanks for taking the time to do that, posts like that are what makes arbtalk great! Nice one

Aye different strokes and all that, I found the pfanners too hot and restrictive, and yes arbortec boots are mega comfy
