  1. T24EES trees of course --- £250 inc transfer and vat ... happy days
  2. hello - i currently do my own arb work half the week into weekends along side my 'bill paying' job at family garage...tree work is heaven compared to other job

     

    at the moment i run a small gravity timberwolf , which , today burst a hole thru the head / valves bent , engine goosed - ebay may have saved the day thou, so , in short , chipper hire , not at the moment , as item doesnt realy cut the mustard so to speak.

     

    when i inveast in a newer chipper , asap , wether it be a 125 or 150 (thou this is what id like but work alot on my own , they weigh a ton ) i am moving into hire with operator and waste removed.

     

    i do also work with other people occasionaly doing tree work they cant do.

     

    im up for chatting any time , im friendly and approachable .

     

    my number is 07707567033 , names richard , and can offer any adivce you'd like to ask or need help with , always looking to meet new faces round the doors

  3. its in a very nice area hence why they have probly put that clause in , most houses around there are 300-4k .... however id be happy to not build on it but just small scale timber storage and recreation til i could maybe build a eco home. going past xmas eve for another look around-- - thanks again for clearing some items up
  4. if your business is small and you dont work every day , why not ? i felt a little cowboyish but the key is to have the flyer / website / vehicle decals all the same and of course cardflyers look and feel alot better than a pice of paper. i must agree , i have put a card thru a door and seen all the other shite junk mail there and thought 'thats mine going in the bin' i do a flyer run every 2 weeks when i have a few hours spare friday afternoon , i get min 1 job , so for a few hours i return a min £150 job plus return work. i rather be out on an adventure with a smile on my face than in the house sitting infront of tv getting fat
  5. probly belongs to somebody who already has enough money not to worry about an extra few quid in years to come... i could buy it - wait til im 55 when the 25year clause runs out then live in small timberhome then after most trees need to come down - such a shame its a nice spot even just to fish at- the hunt will continue , thanks for clearing that up for me
  6. i had my eye on a piece of woodland in a very nice area next to mine - althou most trees are tpo'd and in a conservation area i thought maybe i could put in an application to use for recreation or even a small scale timber storage / mulch... or a small timber home there are a few details in the information i am not sure about , i have listed them below , can somebody put it into english for me please ''''A purchaser will be asked to enter into an overage agreement where 50% of any uplift in value on granting of planning approval and where the land is either sold or developed will be due to the vendor, this to last for a period of 25 years.''''' an application for a building has already been declined however applications for others things can be considerd . its up for 25k - 1.5ac - the river derwent runs thru the bottom of the land , some cracking trout in there.

  7. drugs and a new chipper , o , and some skins , ive ran out
  8. these are good items , and for the price plus the radio , works out just over £300 i feel they are worth it - speeded work up striaght away.... 1 improvement could have been to hav a perminant switch on the earmuff so it could be used with the vox function on the radio for handsfree communication, however , does it realy matter ? (could use some ducttape like i did for 5mins then my lass was waffling on so i took it off , haha)

  12. shieldrow just behind the school .... my aquentance is called 'the good sir barry' or andrew lockey to others... getitng windy up here tonight , plenty for you to do in next day or so - jury service for me til xmas hoping for a 125 to come down the chimney -
  13. only posted this last neet and there more replys than i expected - had a dream last night i got a 125 , and been to look at a job today where a 150 would be unsuitable for moving myself. have weighed up pro and cons , bearing in mind i work 3 days a week thats it . also i measured today and the 125 will fit nice next to my work bench and maestro turbo , so all my toys stay dry in the garage... cheers for input hear like from all... and lorry , cheers , been talking to some1 recently who knows you - stanley is a small place full of strange people
  14. ok , im looking to upgrade from my tw100 to ethier a 125 or a 150 . obviously the 150 is a better choice for capacity but im just a tad worried about overall weight if i ever have to move it myself. i do alot of conifers so i would love to just roll up , cut and chip and not do as much processing althou i keep anything just over 4inch. ive probly answerd my own questions as i am favoured towards a 150 but keep hanging on the idea of 125. 2 realy stupid questions to be honest- how much bigger in length is the 150 compared to 125 ? and is it possible to run a 150 on red diesel? bit daft but im worried a 150 might not get into my garage along with my car and work area , no way am i putting my car outside. cheers - also any 125's or 150's for sale - around 5k ?
  15. <<<<<<<<<<<< heres mine , its mint , now , wheres the snow ..
  16. getting a good youngin is hard these days - i also run a garage and we have had 6 young college spraypainters who think they know it all and are usless - and i had to pay them 100 a week from day1 ... couldnt even earn me that and couldnt make tea , now theres a fail straight away. maybe the 7th will be good --- hope the first tree youngin is a good un. myself started on a yts in 90's ,got £29 a week, of that £10 board/£10 travel/£10 fine per week so £1 down per week... it lead to an apprietiship at porshce thou ... worth the days i would have been on street corners
