Largest Diameter Tree Felled with Small Chainsaw?
roseyweb replied to Billhook's topic in General chat
Lantra will do you a 5 day medium felling course just on doing a hinge boring cut thing, delivered by your local never done it except in a training school instructor. But that's enough of my gripe against training establishments -

Mini digger flails- are they worth it.

We hire in a nifty 17.5 almost weekly there best of both easy to tow, light and no need for a trailer and you can walk them into tight spots, 17.5m seems to do most of what we need, two hire shops within 10mins have them so normally i can get one there sturdy at full reach too, we looked at buying one but we can hire for £150 a day or £250 a week, the second hand ones were around 15k and complete dogs of machines, brand new about 27k but I did't fancy the maintenance commitment. One thing I have noticed about locals who have mewps is they seem to take them to every job which is a nice idea but can't help think sometimes there taking them just for the sake of it, doing dismantles with a mewp is a awkward, James x

You’d need to plum a direct to tank in off the 4in 1 which is no big job, I run a old Massey digger which is like a 3cx, good yard Machines I wouldn’t want to rely on it to make a wage, finds. A new place to leak hydraulic from everyday

congratulations

Yep I agree with all of the above as the main contractor you make the big bucks to allow for the cock ups the Subby is probably making a wage and not a lot more hardly seems fair to lay it on him,

Thanks I know its a shamless website plug but quite a few have been asking about them so thought i'd share, topping that off would have been a right crap weeks work of toil, took a few hours to get to a rough level.

Yer, client jumping is pretty poor, 90% of my work is subbing and I meet some pretty powerful people on behalf of the people I sub to, they let me do it because I’m trusted and in return I get tons of work spoon fed to me. reputation spreads far fast in this industry, we all know who is loose with giving out cards when you ask them to bring a machine to site, There are lots of people around here I would never let on to who I would work for and loads of people I trust. theres not a value you can put on being able to hold your head high and not watch your back

Lots of time wasters, In the lock down the phone was going mad, a few polite questions made me realise a majority were either like @treevolution says unaware of the cost or getting everyone in the county to price, I don't mind pricing in the lockdown but i don't want to unnecessarily go to peoples houses I tend to ask for a photo now using the plague as the excuse so i don't loose a hour looking at £150 jobs which the local builder will do anyway
