  1. Nice work mate:thumbup1:
  2. like mine too, but you do need to tweak the carb:thumbup1:
  3. will bear that in mind when i go mad with the mill next week. anyone want 50 slabs of poplar?
  4. what make is this? any ideas, thanks for your help wood chipper tracked 5" feed 360 discharge | eBay josh
  5. thanks mate waiting for his email, pics etc !!
  6. : that will sell well then
  7. Hi all, just ordered my small log mill from Rob D, very helpfull guy, just wanted to ask what would be the best things for me to make? and with what timber? i think im going to practise on some poplar, thanks for your help
  8. my typo sorry mate
  9. no PM'd not for sale, gutted
  10. never said i was expexting £150, i will put my date rate up to £120!!
  11. £150 is proper, yes i agree some are shite, skimp on equiptment, no saw chain brakes etc but you do get the hard workers with well maintained equiptment and they are obviously worth more
  12. Not relly , i save as much as poss to re invest in tools, after the rent van etc has been paid for!!
  13. So you call a cs100 a food blender:lol: just been to seen the greenmech rep tried it out (18hp electric start) seemed to be pretty powerfull & quite impressive, i guess your right if you can offer a bigger chipper you can charge £50 per day chipper hire, i still quite like the idea of the narrow access chippers, we will see what pops up i guess
  14. i would love say a 13-20 or a quad chip, but just dont have the quantity of work into justify that cost at the moment, i will have to make to with a "WEE" chipper untill work and budget allows me to change!!
  15. If i charge £140, around here i would get laughed at:confused1:, its still nice to know what other subbys charge, the same guy i was talking aboutcharges about £100 for subbying, he has his own tipper kit etc.. i guess thats what im up against
  16. yes im now looking at a cs100 on finance,
  17. Juat been on a 150 mile + trip to go and see a bearcat 5" chipper/shredder, What a waste of diesel, got to the yard bearing in mind this is ment to be a proper machinery sale place, one tyre was nearly flat, the other was soft, the lad wheeled it outside, and started it up without engaging the clutch:confused1: poor engine no wonder it smoked like buggery, i said your ment to engage the clutch he replied "the engines so powerfull you dont need to :lol:", then i got the 261 out the van snedded up a few little branches 3" max asked him to show me the chipper working and he would put the bigger stuff (max3") throught, i could see why as the blades wouldnt even cut butter, to top it all off when he turned the machine off, on the engine wind down i stood on the machine frame and looked in the shredder chute and the fly wheel was bent , so i walked away head held high, he knocked £350 bucks of the price to try and get me to take it but i said no mate sorry
  18. yes i love mine as in pic << tweaked the carb as you said, drinks a tad mor enow but screams:thumbup1:, cuts well, been spot on so far, well chuffed:biggrin:
  19. awsome job, loving the landy, looks like a nice place to be when you get peckish
  20. yes i get what you mean, im not fussed, i will climb or i will drag brash, just glad to be doing what i love,
  21. Thanks bud, well i think hes happy to do it for that god only know why:lol:, just thankfull of the other tre surgeons i work for, they are reliable to me so i repay them by working hard and doing a smart job,
  22. thanks mate, like i say i put the graft in im on site on at house 5 to 10 mins early EVERY TIME, i work hard, im tidy & safe so i guess thats why they phone me back,
  23. Thanks mate, take today for an expample, nice crown reduction/limb removal on an oak, client wanted solar pannels to be a little more exposed to the light, I climbed (subcontracting) got the limbs down, tidyed up, logged up by 2ish, we were asked to top a little beech, we didnt mind as we were doing well for time, so we put the effort in and then left site tisy @3pm, it doesnt happen like that every day i know, but its nice feeling when you work hard and finish on or a little before time, gave me time to price up a job on way home to
  24. £120 thats fair i dont mind that £80 thats a piss thake sorry but it is:thumbdown:
