I have literally made no headway at all into a replacement management program, has anyone else made a decision? Currently I'm swaying towards Xero. I wonder if Mark would let me buy Arbpro? hmmm.

The news of Arbpro to cease trading has certainly come as a shock. My entire business runs from it and I'm comfortable with using it. What else do we use? Im considering a non are specific one now as there is obviously not the market for it in this country. Seems strange though... how many users do they have at £60+ a month? how much does it cost to maintain? I don't really need them to develop it more, they could just leave the servers running or sell it as a program to run off our personal computers. I hate change... this is pushing all my neurotic buttons. ;-)

A nice gentle reduction..... good one dude. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

That's right! See your learning. This post literally cracked me up. So, so true!

It's about 110kg or so I believe, it's not light but 2 people can carry it up steps and it fits through internal doorways and around the bottoms of stairs. It's very similar to the Rayco RG13 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

We have one, they are good when you really need it but the cutters ( even the extra hard rock ones) loose their edge in no time, they very labour intensive on the arms and chest and give a lot of vibration through the trigger. Think hard before buying one do you really get that many inaccessible stumps to warrant one? Maybe it would be easier to sub those ones out to stumpbusters or similar. End of the day it's your money. It certainly was not one of our best investments we use the cammon whenever we can. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Speak to Richard at kings wood training or catch up with him at the jones Arb show, he provided us with a very useful UK species orientated log chart. It's laminated and one of the team now! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Couldn't agree more Treequip, great minds think alike. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I will never see a more epic Arb product again! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

That's a really good point actually, many of the CV's we get are from non drivers, pretty much as soon as someone with some decent categories sends one in the get a trial immediately if we're looking for staff. So I'd say get a driving licence and CS30 & 31. You'll likely get a job grounding and can head on up the ladder from there. Like others have said experience is the key thing so make your self marketable, reliable and polite. It may just get you that foot in the door. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I wish I had the choice, im officially jealous of you self employed guys. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Ahh good job, plenty of labour saving equipment, I wouldn't have thought of burying the stump, I'd have probably dug it out with the 360 and used the hiab to get it on the truck. Nicely finished job, very tidy. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

You got a nice considerate groundie there letting those lumps 'run' good to see. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

That's very true I guess I'm just being over cautious these days. A few years ago I broke an arm, a leg and both collar bones crashing a crosser, Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
