  1. I swear by haix timber pros and get 18 months out of them. really comfy boots on hard standing also and not a bad price compared to others. if on spikes 90% of the time I’d look at pfanner zermatts as they are a really wide boot but terrible for reductions.
  2. Ring arborisk they are cheapest around for our fleet quotes
  3. I used to have 3 of them and they all done this. Sometimes go so tight used to have to get mole grips to loosen them
  4. I hear a lot of issues regarding the 330 charger. I’ve had a 500 charger for 4 years now and used daily and never failed yet. Even the batteries have been fine.
  5. Hi everyone, This isn’t something to do with a company or person not paying but more looking for advice/opinion on a company that providing a service didn’t deliver at all. So this all makes sense had a lead generation company set up an ad campaign for myself. They said first month will be hit and miss which is understandable. But in month 2 and 3 they was producing leads that were 100-200 miles away or you’d ring and they didn’t even want a tree surgeon just wanted a painter or something stupid. they kept promising they would solve it but they never did and I never bothered renewing after the 3 month trail. Plus they said they would use Google ads and I signed up for the use of Google ads but in the end they used Facebook ads as they felt this would work better. I just feel this is false advertising. I understand that lead generation doesn’t provide leads or results but they have just produced spam and kept blaming other problems. In the end I had to teach myself how to use Google ads and produced really good results which is frustrating when they kept giving excuses when I could do it. would you reckon taking legal action for a refund for being missold a service and a service that wasn’t even working. Or am I just better off walking away. Sorry for the lengthy post.
  6. If husqvarna is an option then the 562xp mk2 should be considered. Blinding saw to use and much improved over the mk1
  7. I’ve got a sprinter that’s on 277k miles and honestly compared to the one with 74k you can’t tell a difference. supermarket ones can’t get hammered as they are autos and restricted to 60 so can’t be thrashed too hard. id be more looking at drop lines, ball joints and the likes as they’ve probably be up and down kerbs harshly. sprinters are reliable and parts are cheap. Just make sure it has got a service record. I’ve got 3 sprinters and never give much bother.
  8. yes this is correct. They can’t tax the vat as it has in theory been paid just you’ve been able to reclaim some of your vat expense to take the burden of vat off you. just remember though that 20% only applies to adding on not taking off. Your 5000 with 20% off would be something like 833
  9. Fiesta van. Lovely drive and can fit a lot more than you think in the back of them. Plus they just sip diesel.
  10. We’ve just got recently the 562 mk2 it’s a completely different saw to its predecessor and is finally what a 560/562 should have been from the beginning
  11. Mitsubishi outlander. More reliable than a disco and returns really good mpg
  12. I’ve got 2 merc sprinters which have single rear wheels. Never give any bother and as every tree surgeon knows they are always over weight. As said they have a much larger tyre on them and give good traction. do wallow around but my transit does as well.
  13. So you’re basically wasting your money then. As quickbooks will record the vat for you. You’re already inputting the data into the system and quickbooks will work it all out automatically. It’s literally end of a vat quarter 2 clicks and it’s done. Hardly takes any more time and you’d save yourself a £100
  14. I had this issue with a forst in the end just traded it in for a diesel best decision ever. but with my forst I know this will sound crazy but if you blow into the fuel tank and then quickly put the cap back on it would start fine when hot. If you didn’t it would just keep turning over and never start.
  15. Easiest thing to do would bolt down everything on the stands and just have a qr code ticket to pick up and take to the counter. Almost like ikea. Would take slightly longer to process but then the staff they have watching for theft could be put to better uses
