  1. £350 a day is top of the game and doing 14 hr days, then there is the Scandinavian tax system 48% I believe in Norway . In Sweden it's around that too... So prob around £13 an hour if you do pay tax. Have good child care benefits though if you have the family
  2. Is it located in the highlands or Isle of Man .. Saw it myself and looks to be fraud . Been a lot on lately , will normally contact you wanting bank transfer... Doooont
  3. Live not far from him . Does a lot of training for me.. Try and get in touch with him around 6 on the evening.. In the woods all day .. Email, [email protected]
  4. Yeah was out driving trucks out the .. Robbin mordecai 07715505580
  5. college!! if its showing signs and in the roots then not a great deal you can do.. Probably the landowner ..
  6. Torden 22k best for JK but they are removing it from sale and will rebrand like they always do.. 6 or 7 the price of glypho but a lot more effective and we use alot
  7. Wilton is the closest to you. Government stopped subsidies so hardly worth doing unless you have a lot of good quality
  8. is it on southern or northern plates
  9. How is it the word bastaerd does not get blanked out but pi@@ey does? are we PC againt thieves now or are people scared of the truth?
  10. depends what work you do.. If your a contractor don't bother as a lot of firms will not want you on there sites promoting your company or they should be using there own men and don't wanna let client know they are using subbies.. If you do work where you have to stay away, don't bother as you will meet the travel lodge thieving bastards as has happened to lads I know... as been said plain is better.. I have one that says painter and decorator as was on van.. ****** not gonnna be looking for chainsaws in therre
  11. I can understand as a member of greenmech you are going too defend your machines/dealers to the end. does not make you right though.. As mentioned just because a contractor has hired a machine it does not mean its gonna be abused, perhaps worked.. The cost of hire is very little if machine goes down and your paying 3 or 4 lads wages.. Greenmech have a very good tracking system, feed aperture , blade system but on the mk2 they don't rev high enough to push wet material out of shoot. The buttons are flimsy and expensive to replace as is the cable working stop bar.. Getting parts is a joke from my dealer in the north east. Good job old dealer always ready to help .. Its a shame as is prob the best machine for the rails
  12. we had 3 machines. one owned and two new ones on long term hire.. The new ones mk2 have had loads of problems with blocking up.. Gone back to hire company and bought a tracked Jensen instead and not had a problem yet.. Just does not travel aswell as safetrack over bad ground
  13. new style or old.. Had a lot of problems with the new ones blocking up when its wet.. Been told they don't rev as high on the computer so does not blow it out properly.. kept getting told I was only one having this problem. We solved it by shortening shoot but still occurs time to time but not as much as before
  14. you sure it was not a QTS chipper as I know they have had there chippers built that way.. NWR have a safetrack at York and Newcastle, but they are not modified in any way and have to cover all of north.. That's the proper north not Manchester to the southies.... The buttons are in a bad place, mount them on top as TW did or in a recess as when trying to get through gaps they do get knocked off...
  15. because he may like the job and don't fancy a call centre.. Yeah its about making money but that's not everything.........
  16. the old mark 1 are a lot better without stupid buttons... All track chippers have problems with ballast. New ones are not as bad, but soon as track stretches a bit or piston weeps.. then you will have ballast in... just learn hw to get track back on quick..
  17. even if they have bought 17 that's not a lot when you look at how many depots there are and since most nwr are not allowed to tow the chippers hardly work.. They have always said that about greenmech... Greenmech safetrak are prob the best machine for embankments but Jensen not bad either and what will happen when greenmech patent up? unless they gonna spend a lot of money keeping it... If they do they want to get customer services better from there dealers in the north.. As they are bad but always knew that would happen.. Timberwolf dealer happy though as selling lots of machines as orange cant be arsed.. Just want you to constantly hire machines and not sell unless you want a 150 road tow...rant over
  18. I bet its the new model... Have 2 on hire and they do it all the time with elder or conifer or the end of birch.. If I could get the parts to fix my mark1 I would be happy, but since they put oliver out in the wilderness I have to deal with the orange machine.. xxxkxxs..... 3 weeks and still waiting...................lets try a spider
  19. Torden 22k ... Best out there for JK. Its what network eail use and they have big problems and spend millions on it.. Enviro mix lose licensing for Torden in july ,so get it before then or will be released under a different name next year
  20. sure you will offend someone, as not hard sometimes but your thinking is the way forward.. If I am not getting paid I want my bed or a hot blondes,,
  21. That's why I said each to there own................
  22. If I climb , I want to be paid... everyone to there own thing..... Seen them before at shows and seem full of gear junkies.. Half the lads I see fly up the tree, but give them a saw and its game over.. As said each to there own
  23. Ha Ha .. tell Damien you want some nice leaf fall sites,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
