  1. I use ArborTrail and ArborCAD. Chris Skellern will still support you. He does all my CAD plans externally as I just have the time to bugger about anymore. He'll turn them around quickly and the beauty is with an expert on tap all the little changes / hassle / extras that invariably come up on big projects can be dealt with swiftly and efficiently. I used to waste days buggering about with CAD or drawing manually in Illustrator.
  2. I have a 2.2 Limited, got it with 50 miles on the clock a few weeks ago. Now unto just shy of 3k. It's hands down the best double cab pick up i've ever driven. Fuel consumption is not great even driven very carefully you'll not get more than 32mpg and average is 26-28 on mixed journeys. Engine is nice, gearbox slightly agricultural. If you climb underneath there is a lot of exposed wires and bits and bobs in relation to the environmental management systems. If you were to get one muddy a lot you'd want a skid plate under there for sure. Ford UK have under provided so there is a massive waiting list for mid range models (18 months plus). A Wildtrack new to your spec. is a 24 month wait!
  3. +1 for Free Agent. Just swapped from QuickBooks. Take a look as you get a 30 day trial and its the mutts nuts.
  4. Coppards would be your best bet down there although Farnborough Tool Hire did have a mulcher / flail head some years ago.
  5. That only applies if it's his land, he manages it how he sees fit etc. If your selling on and you know about the knotweed you will need a treatment programme in place and a signed off guarantee from a consultant. There are a few companies nationwide. Riding Limited in Wigan, Three Shires LTD out east etc. A google search should bring them up. Your customer will need a written guarantee regarding the treatment though as any surveyor worth their salt will pick up on the knotweed and report back to the potential buyer.
  6. Eeek! okay, fair one! I don't doubt it would be worth every penny though.
  7. Scott, speak to Ed. Our friend Peter Haine makes all sorts of backs for pickups.
  8. Stobbarts or Bryan Harper will be your best bet from Glasgow mate.
  9. As per title. We nee a surveyor to visit a site in Chelmsford, capture data on <10 trees to BS5837, make a few site and surrounding notes and collect some photos. Should only be a few hours on site. Please email [email protected] if you can help out. NO PM"s please! Best Regards
  10. It depends on the scope of the survey. If it was an ecologist who has made a passing comment on trees then i really wouldn't be that concerned. They may even be a caveat in the limitations section of the report. If it's a development site then you will be getting a BS5837 survey done as well no?
  11. Looks like i'll be taking one over with me then! Great.
  12. As per the title. Tracked would be preferable, my sister-in-law has just bought a property with a lot of small regen to clear. Many Thanks.
