  1. This is something I'd love to do in 2016.
  2. I've only started selling mine this year. Just been shifting average 6 bulk bags every Saturday for past 2months. All goes towards new truck build. Every seller around here seems to sell timber ethier freash cut or stored outdoors. Won't be long until I get more customers. Nice steady side line to pay of tools quicker
  3. I highly recommend uprated springs. I also recommend moving to a 6.5tonner like im doing. This was a one off thou next to the tip site
  4. Unlucky. I once had a ball hammer go thru my old chipper. Was hidden in some privet hedgerow. A Grands worth of parts later it was fixed. Total headache Luckily your tw is ok.
  5. It's quite tempting but I'd be still no further forward managing my tip off time It be nice shift a lot of waste in one go safely for a change I think this ticket says more than £300 fine mind chris . (I must state Thou I was on private land adjoining the tip site)
  6. I'm getting away from the 3.5t Chris. It's just pointless playing roulette with vosa as someday il get caught out on the a1/a19 hence moving up
  7. I drove a 65c170 last month. Lovely. I left the counter offer a few hours to late and somebody else bought it Looking for another in my price range but no joy
  8. It's on an ash. Sorry. Few more pics she just sent
  9. Hello I'm a right I thinking from just this picture this is 'meripilus giganteus' ? Only a few small clusters at the base That's all the info I have until I visit the tree in person (customers sent an email saying it's honey fungus) Thanks
  10. In April I bought a new greenmech 150. Kept my 125tw and all it's done is gather dust Greenmech changed my business
  11. I visited the Morpeth place , plenty choice but Personally if I didn't have my landrover I'd have one as a second vehicle. The payload wasn't best I my view as a main vehicle but each to there own. Now back on the ideal 3t payload search which is now in place
  12. I looked into them / viewed. I soon reliesed I've got a d reg ex army landrover that's hard work to drive. In the end I didn't want another vehicle that's was the same The parts thing was also another factor Needed a geet long left arm to use the gears too. Ive an old tree surgeon friend from wark/Northumberland who has had one in his shed since the late 90s. His plan was to convert it for tree work, the day he sells it cheap then I may join the club
  13. Shame the trucks gone. Was a nice motor, got told at Charltons when tipping off On another note I've been thru exactly the same situation the past 2years thou no children, the last thing is signing my remortgage after Glastonbury and it's all over . The heart wants to push for better work / business but the mind can't but in time who knows Life's better ticking along , were here for a good time .
  14. <p>Hello. Your looking around 200 max if I'm there all day. Includes a full load taken away. If I'm not there a full day 160min. Includes waste disposal. I can drag brash and fetch ground saw. Running a new greenmech 150 so kit is reliable</p>

  15. As per title, 4x4 for access with greenmech 150 and operator £160 day , willing to drag brash and fetch a saw. Saturdays and Sundays covering Tyneside,durham,Northumberland sorry can't do weekdays because of other workload unless paid more but can also fetch chip truck if needed and remove waste
  16. Double cab. Tools. 2 blokes 5.6t. Opp's. Hence upgrade
  17. Thanks, I'm awaiting a reply from the guy in Morpeth . defo good advertising. Same coin as an 'ok transit' but with the O'liecence which in reality encourages u to keep in tip top condition. Would work well with my 90.
  18. I'm thinking of going down this route now. Seen an unregisterd unit mega low miles for same price of the vehicles I've been looking at. Rb's more versatile How's your brakes and steering may I ask?
  19. What's your payload then? Still keeping vehicle options open at the moment until the right option arrives
  20. Yes. What's the mpg? Place up the A1 has a few of these
  21. Does anybody have insurance on there yard? For example in case of fire My yard/land is only surrounded by 6ft fence , climb paint and wire until conifers grow so access by ***** is possible
  22. Nfu £900 fully comp. only 350 more than my transit Next is to barter with the seller of the truck as the original truck I wanted in conventry I think is now gone
  23. Thanks. I know about o liecence and the likes as it's alllllllll been discused before on here. Awaiting insurance company's opening at 9am The main reason is constant overloading for 3years and now is the right time to move on
