    Keep the saws as spares/backups, selling them you're going to take a hit. You only need to use them a couple of times for paid work and they will have paid for themselves

    There's "snaw on the ben" (wyvis) so I'm assuming there must be something down in the cairngorms by now

    It's only a small area, I don't have a branch logger, I would get one if I thought there was much paid work with it, but I'm not sure. I think a good size to let them grow to would be the biggest you get without having to split them.

    When I got a 2nd van 5yrs ago I had to start off again with no ncb on that, and the the insurance was the same price with with 0yrs ncb as the maximum 12+yrs or whatever on the other van. Then as the years went on the prices stayed similar to each other. So for me no claims bonus has no bonus
