  1. I think not being Vat reg'd rules you out for any large commercial work eg when we do a big big job and we do plenty of them now days if you start having to pay for Vat on things like timber wagons, diggers, hire etc but can't charge it out you loose alot of coin. It also makes you look more grown up when pricing with commercial, you don't cringe when you have to buy something and they say oh plus Vat, We do about 80% commercial and thats what I prefer to win work on my good looks and professionalism not on price. If you did 100% domestic its a no brainer Vat should be avoided
  2. Smoking pipes
  3. I'm also told its the only make of tractor which you can choose the colour.
  4. any one seen this
  5. Not many around I'm looking too
  6. The man who made it is in the advert. I'm getting his autograph when I see him next
  7. We have the midland ones for the stein ptt Came in great when on holiday last week. Had no mobile signal so when I went of walking with the dog I could radio the misses to come pick me and the dog up. Worked all across lizard pennisular in Cornwall and she was indoors and I was miles across hilly country
  8. My theory is, if your a good enough employee to do the job well ie manage your work site, climb, fix etc your probably going to scratch a few k together to go and start your show.
  9. What! Well that would be daft as most climbers wear the petzl. I have them and they fit my petzl helmet just swell,
  10. Who ever told you that Was lying the fit petzl/husky balance as standard
  11. There was a lovely fasttrrac with botex grab on wilsons site recently, gone now but a thing of beauty
  12. Hope this maybe helps
  13. I'd rather be expensive than a busy fool, Depends in your machinery but in forestry a man and tractor forwarder will day rate 300-400£ a day which seems mighty cheap
  14. If it don't work after you've bi passed your no stress get your circuit tester out and check all the micro switches in the button box and safety bar and replace the ones which don't work and check none are floating around. Some are OC some are CC which can be confusing but I think it says on them. I just replaced all mine as was becoming a pita If one don't work it messes the whole thing up
  15. Took a load dumped in a wood I manage to tyre shredding yard, cost me a quid each
  16. Do you skid the logs to the machine at a stacking area or work your way through the woods?
  17. Cheers sparrow, won't work in my situation sounds like a handy one to have in the bag though
  18. Well yes this would be the obvious and has been offered but the tree was in a neighbours property. The none payer who initiated the works had after a dispute agreed with said neighbour that compromise and although I get on well with tree owner they don't want another inch thanks to the none paying client being quite a arse to them. Long story Thanks for that fantastic advice But my interest is in the statutory demand. Like whats the wording and how enforceable is it? Whats stopping them blowing a raspberry at you?
  19. Congratulations on winning your money, I have a similar predicament only the client is disputing the invoice as we pollareded of the tree a foot higher than originally planned, Its only a few hundred quid but really urks me. How does the statuary demand work and how is it enforceable?
  20. Just keep plodding on, something always comes in. Failing that book a snow boarding trip so you have something to look forward to in winter
  21. Sorry my bad, half asleep
  22. I needed a new one when a glove got sucked in that was drying on the engine, not a lot of money £30 from my local tw dealer
  23. Got stung by your police mag a few years ago, I never paid but they sure tried hard to get there money including getting the debt collectors in
  24. Do you get a competent card after so long in the same way as your CPCS cards do?
  25. Kelly kettle. It runs on conifer
