  7. when I start getting more that 3 calls a day for quotes, its starting to really busy which is needed to pay for the new engine on the mog lol T-shirts on Landrover 90 is not like a fridge anymore flying bugs
  8. I do also feel that this is a waste of money and also a real crime to destroy the ancient woodlands. But I dont think it will be stoped. also if they plant 1000s of trees in time (lots of time) would this not become ancient woodlands?? maybe I am well off here. I will sign up :-)
  9. I under stand the laws around nesting birds and tend to agree with it but I cant stop work so we carry out a survey before we start. As for shooting pigeon i ve been doing it since i could hold a gun and as far as I know you can shoot them all year round?? on our farm pigeon is one of the main course of damage to crop. So are you saying I cant shoot a pigeon in nesting season? As ive NEVER seen this before and I am sure i would have seen it in the shooting times etc... one last point some very good info on here Ive just printed off some of the info on the links and put it in the team folders
  10. one of my customers ask us to wear yellow long sleeved tops and orange hivis trouses (chain saw)
  11. now is this working as a sub-contractor direct for Fountains (on never get paid basis lol) or are you a sub-contractor for fountains? as this would make a big differance!
  12. I dont think its the case of if you do work to the tree and then it falls you would need indemnity insurance this would come under your public insurance but if you said that the tree was safe (got paid for advice) and then fell over you would then need it this is how I understand it
  13. Yer I had the same covered if I give advice BUT if they are paying for this advice you would not be covered so I took out indemnity, I think its about £550 (£100k-£120K turnover) its with Trust.
  14. Tesco in Holyhead
  15. Hi, One of my large customers has been let down and have asked if I can give them 2 men (ground) a chipper, saws & burshcutters (metal heads). the work is to start monday 21/03/2011. 2-3 days work we would go but to busy so if you are intrested give me a call 07880795462 Good rates of pay
  16. I use Saturns of my chipper and never had a problem and tbh a lot of the work we do is in some real crap places and a fair bit of crap goes into the chipper and they have lasted really well. Very happy with them.
  17. Yes thursday 10/03/2011
  18. Hi Guys, I am looking for a gang of 2 men with van (to chip into) and a chipper. Must have cs30/31 insurance and first aid (one team member). I have one days work (thursday) to start with if it goes ok can then offer more. the job is near the A140 south of Norwich. Need a rate please (day rate) Please call me asap to have a chat about it my phone is on till 22:30 so please feel free to call at any time 07880795462 Many thanks Ed
  19. Nice one thanks:thumbup::thumbup:
  20. Have you got a number for him? thanks
  21. No turbo 100bhp, yer they will do the engine swap for about £1100 (is that a good price?) but this depends if I need new clutch and others odds and sods But I am now thinking about a bigger engine 150bhp to bring it in line with the other mogs. I know that they are more or less the same engine and you change bit and bobs to power it up. might just change fuel injectors to bring it up 130bhp thanks for the ebay find. Do you know if they speak english?
  22. I gave Ibbetts a call but they dont have an engine and a rebuild on mine could take up to 3 weeks and I dont have that sort of time. still not sure what to do will have a ring round on monday and decide 1 who is going to do it 2 who to get the engine from 3 what engine to buy A new one a recon one or a 2nd hand one plus should I get it made up so its got more power??
  23. I dont have the tools/skill to take it on myself otherwise I would give it a go. Anyone fancy doing it? going to give ibbets a call this morning
  24. Thank you will give them a try
  25. Thanks guys, why not Park Agri? I have used them before and never had a problem. yer I have spoken to Atkinson vos and I could take it to them but it would cost a fair bit to get it there as for mobile guy it would need to be indoors with a crane etc... and I dont have this. and tbh I have spoken to a few guys who have used them and were not to happy with them. will give newmarket hire a call monday I had thought about that but never gave them a call nice 1. were is Ken based? could you pm his number please. also I think the piston rings may have gone due to the lack of oil in it (no leaks) and I think it was burning the oil off. If that is the case I will prob just get a new engine apart from the above people mentioned do you know were I could get one from?
