    Evening all, been a while since I was on here as I had an accident and can no longer climb and sold Shropshire twisted oak tree services to someone who can carry the business on. However that is not why I am here to moan I am after some poplar or willow or other fresh cut wood rounds have to be 8 inch or thicker and 3 foot across or a bit larger for axe / knife throwing in the Shropshire area. what have you got guys and girls feel free to ring me 07866941348

    I agree Steve so make it an area were the ones advertising can peddle their wares with rough guide prices to entice us in, a sort of one stop compare shop, what do you think?

    I have to agree with you Global have been a wealth of information and help, also Greenmech have been a big help with a list of dealers who have second hand machines in stock who do work that they recommend is done to high standards, it all go's to helping you make up your mind on what machine to buy and who from.I would just like to thank all who have chipped in with information and advice on ARBTALK you have made some hard costly decisions a little easier to make and put me in touch with some Very knowledgeable people, who I will remain in contact with for future dealings. Once again thanks Arbtalk your site is AWESOME

    God I wish I was young (52 years old)well I have just spent a few hours getting quotes and have gone with alliance for £597.09.I had the following quotes 1 £1465 2 £975 3 £720.09 4 £1160.59 5 £600 6 £597.09 so that's the best by far fully com, guess it pays to spend a few hours shopping round

    Ok who does everyone use for van/truck insurance, I have just got a 2008 3-way tipper ford transit and some of the quotes are over a grand who do you use?
  16. marc laycock
    What are the weights on these chippers as the van I MIGHT be buying is a 3 way transit tipper and I need to think about total load weight.

    I don't want to "just play lumberjack" everything I do I put 100% into,what I was trying to say is that I am in a position where if the work slowed down it would not cause me an issue. I am ex forces and the reason my pension is so good is because I have complex PTSD so working keeps me on line I NEED to be busy
  21. marc laycock
    I sub for a few people (I am in the great position of not having to work if I don't want to pension is awesome) I just need to work to keep my head ticking over, I want a reasonable set up (van/chipper) and if I am lucky enough to get a lot of work that's fine if I get enough to tick over that's fine too
  22. marc laycock
    cheers Marc (great name and spelling lol) will take a look now
  23. marc laycock

  24. marc laycock
