    There’s a long post on this in the large equipment forum. I bought a Worky quad last year mainly becuase I got it very cheap. Haven’t used it as much as I was expecting to but when it does come out it makes the day a lot easier.

    I’ve never had this problem. Each time run out of Aspen I go to my local dealer and pick up 3-4 5l cans. Then when needed I decant them into my Stihl combi can and have always got to the 5l mark on the combi can. Depending on what work we are on those cans can sit in the shed for a few months. Have never the filled my combi can with a 5l and it’s come up short.

    I just paid £17k + vat for an ST6P HD. No idea what the 8” costs. There have been some really cheap 2nd hand machines coming up second hand with less than 100 hours recently. Worth looking on FB marketplace before you buy new.

    Calls for quotes has pretty much dried up for me, a busy week is looking at one job. Probably have enough in the diary to keep us going until mid May. Hopefully some more will come in before then. Instead of working late and cramming as much work into the week as possible we’re just finishing early and enjoying the extra time off. I’ve recently become a dad so the extra time at home is appreciated by my wife and it nice to be around with the little one. Hopefully the spring weather gets people outside and the phone ringing.

    Isn’t predators stuff all rebranded Czech made Laski machines?

    Work enquiries for me have virtually dried up. Have gone from looking at 6-8 jobs a week to 1 maybe 2. Even the large estates I do work for where normally money isn’t a problem have all gone very quiet and seem to be saving money where possible. Had two week long jobs accepted this week which keeps me happier. Means we’re still 4-5 weeks behind. Have noticed that normally where I win 3 in 4 of the work I quote that’s gone down to maybe 1-4. There’s an awful lot of people round me that are quoting work stupidly low just to win the jobs and bring in a few quid. Ultimately all that means is people are running around doing 3-4 jobs in a day badly to get a half decent wage and then bringing down the price of what is deemed the average day rate.

    If your anywhere near Heathfield in Sussex there’s a guy selling a GRCS which looks pretty much new for £2k.

    I only do advertising through parish magazines. I have a fairly good return on the 5-6 I advertise in. Plus it’s a good way of of getting the right customers. The people I want to work for read through parish magazines for a local person who does a job well. The people who want the job doing as cheap as possible just tend to use Facebook or Google and start calling.

    I had one for a little while. Used it on a few jobs and didn’t really get on with it. Was always easier to throw a rope over a union if needed or put a pulley in. Ended up selling it as it was gathering dust in my kit bag.

    Which plant trailer is that? Fits really nicely on there. Also do the Giants have the same headstock as the Worky quads? If they do there’s a second have set of pallet forks on FB marketplace

    My Timberwolf will be up for sale in January. It’s being traded in at the end of January if it doesn’t sell. I’ll put it up on here before it goes on FB or eBay. I purchased it from spectrum plant as a trade in 3 years ago, the advert picture is when I purchased from spectrum plant. If you’d like up to date photos I’ll send them over. Has currently racked up just under 500hrs but will increase slightly. Within the last 50ish hours has had the bearings changed and new rotor fans. Have also not long had three new tyres, have changed over to the newer style Timberwolf tyres and a new jockey wheel. About a year ago I had a trailer company service the brakes/bearings. Paintwork is very good for the age with minimal rust on the machine, has been barn stores in my ownership. Everything works as it should and I have a spare set of keys for all the locks. Depending on the price I can included three sets of spare blades. Only two negative points are the engine needs a service and the brake away cable needs replacing. I’m located just outside Haywards Heath West Sussex if you’d like to come and view.

    £7,450

    Yes this one in the picture. Have had no problems with it

    For years I’ve been using Invoice2go. It’s made my quoting/invoicing a lot easier as I can do it from my phone and you can take card payments via stripe. Very easy to use. Have recently gone over to Quickbooks as I’ll be going VAT registered soon so want one system that will do it all and my accountant can access. Did try Xero for a while but I found Quickbooks easier for me to use

    I’ve got a petzl zillion with a swivel fitted. Real winner for me.

    Our local agricultural dealer who is also a Husky dealer had 5 in stock when I went to get some bits a few weeks ago.

    https://shop.spectrum-plant.com/index.php/default/timberwolf-spare-parts/used-machinery.html spectrum plant have a used one for sale. It’s for a cast loader but sure you could get the bracket changed.
  22. tim361
    Definitely takes a bit of getting use to. Have to slowly let the controls off or it’s flinging you around. Have had a few interesting moments.
  23. tim361
    I’m hoping one might come up for sale second hand at some point. I like the fact your has the padding on either side. Mine you just have the metal side of the tank so if your getting flung about it does hurt. Need some foam to fit to the sides

    Was having a play with the grapple bucket that got delivered. I fully intended to pick up a Klou type grab at APF, but for £3k it can wait. Got this one from a company called stag machinery as an ex demo for £950 delivered.

    Speak to Robin on here and buy an ms361 from him. Had a couple of saws off him now and whole thing has been faultless.
