  2. got to remember when buying a truck! a fool and his money is easily parted!!
  3. good luck tony!!!! personally i run a crew cab transit tipper, had it six years it been a tank!. Looking for a newer one but single cab this time & a roller shutter box. possibly an iveco. like the look of the toyota? good luck with your new venture!!
  4. use stihl hi-flex, stein revolution & have an old pair of sip trousers, to be honest the stihl trousers have served me well. just started using the stein trousers seem good so far!! hope this helps.
  5. i use walkie talkie set bought from lidl £19.99 plenty good enough just clip it on to me shirt & lanyard it on
  6. normally just glad to get rid of the softwood, hardwood demands a price but not an attitude !!. do you live local to this guy if so whats the problem if he knows where you live!
  7. i would have probably told him to stick it at the time of confrontation, but have learned its better to sleep on it, then make a decision. how desperate are you to have the wood? If you may get some more out of it at a good price then let it slide this time maybe? He could be worried about getting stung.
  8. run both saws, 346xp, ms261. the stihl is reliable so far, both good blocking down saws, good underwood cutting saws, but have had to do a couple of things to the husky and it seems to shake itself to bits???
  9. had it recently up a rotten silver birch, just adds to the fun!, just try not to let it ruin your day!.
  10. we pay £60-90 depending on how much graft is involved,self employed with own gear! not a job offer though.
  11. ditch the trolley for scrap, get a wheel barrow, better still a bobcat
  12. just dismantled 3 90ft plus lombardy poplar that had been previously pollarded and they reached 50ft plus just on the regrowth??
  13. would like some idea on what good chip trucks are out there as my 2001 transit needs replacing?
  14. hi use a ford 4000 for our firewood, yard duties, and hauling timber. good as any!!
  15. have a t-shirt that state,s "could you just starts at £15" got it made due to people alwalys wanting a freebie, like a guy who wanted us to reduce a 40ft beech for nothing because we were trimming his hedge!!!. His quip when i said no was thats no way to run a business.
