Good on ya, you won't be disappointed! ?

Chill out cheesy, this is Arbtalk and even better than a thread derail so pull up a seat and break out the popcorn! ?

Motorised driven tracks would be a start! ? yes even if it means adding a separate little engine

Having used both machines and as an owner operator of the peruzzo TB100-C (tracked version) the quality is similar but the peruzzo does feel more capable of taking a damn good thrashing. I've abused my peruzzo most days for the past 18 months and it still looks brand new, paint finish is superb as is the support you'll get if you buy from equipment 4 industry. Personally I'm not a big fan of greenmech (issues with arb130 reliability and output on site) If you can stretch to it go for the tracked version (TB100-C) it's a game changer! Had mine on finance and the payments are cheap as chips so get the tracked version!

Macrocarpa!

And what were you searching for to 'find' this?!

Go and find your own contracts, sorry I can't help how as every single one of mine approached me but it's worth registering on tender websites.

I can't recommend them highly enough, Ben and Marco have helped me acquire three game changing machines when the banks wouldn't ?

Aye I forgot about shuffling, thing is I can hop quicker than I can shuffle! ?

If you find yourself in this situation and you need to bail out of the vehicle, don't run, hop on one foot until you're 20 foot away,(seriously!) from memory I think the ground is live from about 10ft away from the conducted / contacting vehicle but it's been a decade since being with sse so hopefully someone with some more recent knowledge will expand on this.

Hi, I've had my TB100-C for about a year now; it's been a game changer and totally faultless, quite possibly my best purchase to date. That much so I'm seriously considering a second one purely to hire out. It all started with the idea of mounting a small chipper on a tracked barrow for narrow access jobs and after researching the possible options of bastardising two separate machines I came across Peruzzo and then Equipment 4 industry, problem solved! Also for an extra (I think at the time ) £350ish I ordered the track bed to convert it to a mini dumper which then covered all bases ? but due to the regular need of using both on the same job Danny from @equip4ind did me an amazing deal on a baumax (German) tracked hydraulic tip mini dumper, again great quality and hasn't missed a beat after being beaten and abused regularly! Initially I was apprehensive of Italian build quality (if you've ever had an alfa or a fiat, you'll know what I mean!) but I'm that impressed with the Peruzzo brand I have also bought one of their tracked pedestrian flail mowers and again build quality, functionality, reliability, after care and their parts department really are second to none. Equipment 4 industry are now my main provider / first port of call for all my grounds maintenance, landscaping and tree surgery equipment as everything I have experienced so far is quality kit and great value. If you're anywhere near south West Wales and serious about purchasing one I'd be happy to give you a demo, or pay you for a days work! Ps It's horses for courses really, a Tr8 it is not but everyone who has used my TB100-C has been very impressed with it, it's manoeuvrability it's output and it's balls, make no mistake this is no toy, it is a pro machine not some chinese (or British junk that will simply disappoint) so I'm certain, if you see one in action you'll want to have one 100 %

Why was I not informed of this?! ? would have been very handy last weekend ?

Hello Sir, I take it these prices are inclusive of Dutch Vat.? God's sakes man, stop talking shop and enjoy your holiday! ?

How much did it cost to make? Oh and how many hours? Cheers

Bfg 's every time, great on road when it's wet (compared to similar tread type) I got 40k miles out of the last set, ranger has mt on now mpg has dropped a little but off road is more fun and less hoping and praying. A mate has the new coopers on his L200 and rates them highly on the road but he doesn't do great off road but that could just be the L200 or driver error!

My understanding (info from my insurance company) was that you can carry up to 30 litres of petrol in a work vehicle without it being an issue or require any further hazard control.

Ah, I see now where you got your training... YouTube certified! ? ?

Fair play Vespasian, credit where it's due - probably the best come back ever! ?

Doesn't make up for this though! ?

Apologies, i'm with my old friend jack Daniels and we misheard you! ? ?

So you wouldn't entertain the idea of hiring someone with bags of experience but no academic qualifications?! Over little jonny churned recently out of college with his diplomas and tickets upto CS69 (unless you're solely commercial) who hasn't been higher than 40ft...

I'm only at 10 years + but still loving it (when I get paid!) & every days a school day ? maybe try upping your rates! ?

Er, price of scrap is to low atm, every little jonny has a chainsaw and every Tommy n timmy have a tipper! Dunno about low wages but low margins compared to plumbers n sparkys. Good mate of mine's a s/e sparky, £50k on the books in the week and £50k cash hobbles ont weekend, minimal equipment with maximum profit, not breaking his body etc and even the smallest arb operator has to be looking at £15k - £25k of kit, all he needs is a £5k Van and a grands worth of tools... The bar steward.

Sure but to remove as far as I could see a healthy beech with OK structure, fair enough sided off on one side and with the weight over a quiet footpath and keeping a heavily weighted ash that's close to a block of flats and it's entrance that had a group of ash removed due to die back right next to it seems odd but I'm just a contractor (atm) I'll pm you some available dates in December, will be in between Carmarthen and Llanelli if you're interested?
