Evening all, We have finally got to the point were we require an digger to enable us to continue to grow the business, we have various contracts with local authorities and also carry out rail work so a digger is the next logical step. I have been looking at a volvo ecr25d looking for pros and cons or people's thoughts on other diggers/makes looking to purchase a new unit then adapt to our needs. Many thanks

Bit of a head scratcher, Got an ash to take down in a garden homeowner states deeds say the tree has tpo on it but looking on the councils online tpo map the tree isn't plotted and thus no tpo order but an application was made on the tree in 2009 which was for pruning and was refused. Rung the planning department they have confirmed same as me, that the tree's not plotted but it does have history but can not find tpo order. My feeling would be take photos of said tree and then remove the planning department wants me to email the tree officer to gain some clarification but if I do is this then is it going to alert the tree officer to the mistake? Looking for other people's opinions

Looking to do some advertising to bring some more domestic work in. We used to do mostly domestic work which then led us to local authority and mostly commercial clients whilst retaining some regular domestic work, we used to use Yell, local letter box mags, add words, website and facebook basically we would be starting over with the advertising in are area. What do people use and find works best dont mind spending money on something that will bring the enquiries in. Many thanks.

Hi we require a skilled groundsman or someone wishing to progress to climbing. We under take mainly domestic work with some site work but we are expanding in this sector. We are based between Bradford and Halifax and are looking for someone for 2-3 days a week possibly more. Pay depending on experience

Just been looking into getting chas accredited but construction line stuff keeps popping up. Which one do you think is the most cost affective/best for achieving more work. Thanks

Does the tw230 have greasable bearings?

To be honest sub 750kg doesn't bother me.

Climber required for growing business in Bradford, West Yorkshire. We require a climber for 2-3 days a week. We carry out domestic and commercial work. Good rates of pay for right person, can be a collage leaver or someone wanting to gain experience.

As above no good for tree work but for gardening leads used to send me a least 50 a day all in the spam draw.

Hi all probably been asked loads of times but I am sick of spending money on my chipper so I am after something newer. I stuck between timber wolf 150/230 and forst st6. I just want to know people's opinions on both. Also best place to buy. Cheers
