Whilst this is likely true for a lot of more modern firms, I occasionally contract to a couple of more "agricultural" firms who'd gladly take on a bit of basic labour in exchange for firewood. Keep the barter system going, don't let the government get their cut 🤣

Well technically it's a road tow crane with a potential 34m reach. It's a bit flexible at that extension though. It converts to a mewp if you put the basket on instead of the hook, but it's limited to 29m. At 29m it feels way more stable than his other 25m spiderlift.

Yeah Colledge is still doing bits. He's got a 29m road tow mewp. I imagine the travel would add up though

I dunno mate, I've worked with plenty of bitchy blokes too.

Is this "subcontractor" working for you full time? As an employer you have an obligation under HASAWA to ensure/provide that all operators are adequately trained to carry out the tasks you require of them. You can add recuperation of training costs into a contract of employment, but to my knowledge this would need to be enforced through small claims court, since it's not legal to stop wages at source. -
Kram is the sort of person that could be suffering a debilitating illness, and choose holistic medicine instead of fixing it.

Tbf I've heard nothing but good things about the kalimba

The RR needs a stiff rope in my opinion. Black widow is great but won't work well worth the Runner. Your tachyon will be better as it's got a secondary inner core designed to keep it firm. I'm running courant squir with mine. Best rope I've round so far. Super static too, and cheap.

I'd advise against giving legal advise when you clearly haven't a clue. Few of us know the intricacies of the law regarding such matters.

Does your surname end in "stein"?

Perhaps it's accounting for one of them being an amputee

If they were designed so that 1 person could carry 2 full cans, why would 2 people need to carry 3 between them?

Rich, i run a camp gyro swivel on my bridge. Love it. Gives options for 2 rope work positioning when needed and make I don't get systems twisted.

Not my experience, I've always listed ppe items like helmets as business use (sole trader) and skipped the vat.

I've had similar to what you've described, Alex. My thoughts ran from ear defenders to clenching teeth while sleeping etc. Bit of research came up with the Digastric muscle as the offender. Found a simple stretch which helped (you look like a retard so avoid it in public where possible) and now it rarely troubles me. If i feel my jaw getting tight i know what to do.

Does anyone run another business? Or not do tree work full time?
Joe Newton replied to Cordata's topic in Business Management
No disrespect intended, but it sounds like you're running a business model that isn't working for you. Time off is necessary and beasting yourself on the daily isn't viable long term. The phrase "busy fool" springs to mind. Try charging more. Get freelancers in when you can. You can't run a business and be on the tools full time. -
Damn near broke my wrist on my first crane job. Nobody mentioned there was a better way so i was trying to swing the chains round like a rope 😂

Sounds like you want cheap, powerful and quiet. I'd suggest you pick the 2 most important factors and then you'll get some realistic answers.

There's a stump grinding guy on here who would make those hours look like a part time job. Personally I prefer to work reasonably quickly for the shortest time possible to get the earliest finish I can. I choose who I work for accordingly.
