Makes you wonder just how much and what to resell your insure, depressing

I had a break in, lost 2.5k of kit. That was October last year. My renewal has come through and Aviva, the underwriters have increased my excess from 250 for small plant and 500 for any one item over 5k to £1000.00 per claim. This is utterly outrageous. The jobs hard enough. I could rant on and on but I'm too disappointed now with the lack of back up from the "big companies" who have taken, so much of my money, currently and in the past. As to the future, well I am going to review every Aviva policy I have. Just thought I'd ask if anyone else has had to put up with the same?

Hi all, sorry to see my little CS up for sale but it's got to go as we want a bigger machine! Its won me a lot of work since I've had it:001_smile: its just that time to get hydraulics! I've put it on Arbtalk before going down the Ebay way...

Colette, Thanks for your effort in taking the video. I have been looking at this machine for a while now. With showing this, I know I can take care of the majority of my work. The balance, my mates with their bigger choppers can deal with. Would the m500 be able to drive itself up a ramp into the back of a 110 high cap do you think? Are they any good on the slopes? P.s. Love the blue strap holding the throttle open? I had a demo and knocked the throttle off with a gnarly bit of conifer! What do you think of the folding plate too, thinking about regs etc or does that really matter being as the cs100 doesn't have one? All the best

Wicklamull, ty,Mick are right. put monies saved down as a deposit and then pay lower monthly amounts. Have confidence in ability, you know what your doing don't you

me too, not watching it....

I went for the big dolly 9010 on a 28. It is a big saw, heavy but then relatively they all are. The point is though its far cheaper than the husqy and stihl, if your using occasionally then the thought of spending less may help your thought process. Shavey offers a great and tested back up service. I would buy Dolmar through Shavey again so buy with confidence. Do the changes which are sorted before you get the saw and off you go, happy days. 660 revs higher judging by the noise but the dolmar still cuts uick enough as its linear torque you get instead of screaming its nuts off. Not had the need for skips as yet. Hope this helps

:001_smile:Cheers thanks

Hi Sandworks, Lol it was new from craddocks! Plug and play! Think it was a britpart piece

Folks, a small problem could you give me a pointer please? I've just installed a new indicator stalk, if the stalk isn't in its right place the main headlights go out! Put the indicator on, sometimes they go out again... Any thoughts and thanks in advance

Hi Try Andy at Global Sales in Kings Heath Birmingham. He had a new one in the other week in his showroom, that's where I bought mine a year or two ago. All the best

Not too bad Jon plus the ignition thing is really visible too although if there going to take it...

Can anyone recommend a company who are good at applying under seal, do a proper job? Thanks

Jon hi, try the EX ENG website steering column ignition barrel lock and a Halfords special dustbin lid steering wheel lock

Jamie hi, min 20.00phr as once your costs are paid there's relatively not much in it for your business, all the best

There's the difference! Shortly after taking this, the front main beam packed up on the switch.........

Hi Jon, was at the Landry show in Peterborough, 4x4 lighting I think their web page is

New lights, 40w LEDs from 4x4 lighting, UTV lights

I've had some for a while now,I bought mine because I thought they were lighter than hi flex. really nice fit but, today soaked through they didn't give at all

Chaps, So does this equate to an extra 3.5% on every policy I have then?

Shavey, thanks for taking back my big saw this week, turning it round quick and posting it back up all sorted. Top dealer help Thank you

thanks Steve

We are writing to provide you with an update on the forthcoming change to Insurance Premium Tax (IPT). IPT was introduced by the UK Government in 1994 at a rate of 2.5%. Subsequent increases in the rate were made in 1997 to 4%, 1999 to 5% and in 2011 to 6%. In the July 2015 budget the Chancellor announced that IPT will increase to 9.5% with effect from 1 November 2015. All policies effective from 1 November 2015 onwards (new and renewals) will therefore be subject to 9.5% IPT unless otherwise stated. Mid- term adjustments which result in an additional premium that are effective from the 1st March 2016 onwards will include IPT at 9.5% (irrespective of whether the mid-term adjustment relates to the period when the initial premium was charged at 6% or 9.5%). All mid-term adjustments which result in a return premium and relate to the period when the initial premium was charged at 6% IPT will include IPT at 6%. There you go, what do you recon?

Hi chaps, Arborisk sent out this email saying, hang on

I had an email from my insurance company the other day about the fact that they were warning current customers that their insurance policies, no matter what they are are going up, in this case an extra 9.5%!!!!!!!!! I haven't begun to add up the overall costs on EVERYTHING which has an insurance policy. So he's making more and more out of business. Taking more out of the back door and out of my bottom line. What has everyone else done to cope with this, absorb or pass it on?
