onyx landscaping/fencing

id go with a 211 as well. can(and do) use it all day long with no problems

movano 56 plate 180,000 vivaro 55 plate 115,000 going to change the vivaro this year for one with sliding doors on both sides

get a tractor with loader just drop trailer off load with loader job done

17mpg for the type of driving you have described would not surprise me

nothing wrong with ECHO a have 1 and had no problems with it

grain trailer and some cheep labour would be my choice

as above depends a lot on what the majority of your work is going to be? if you NEED a 20" bar I would go for ms440/441 but that's just me

so what di you get offered ?

from what I have seen £60/ton is the exception not the rule ?

went something like this.... few weeks before xmass get a call to go look at a fence that is "moving in the wind" urgent so rushed off to have a look at it. when I got there It was one of the most cow boy fences I have ever seen. 6'6" high feather edge posts every 3.6m put in 18" max in made up ground with next to no concrete around them. fist rail was 4" up from gravel board 2nd was 14" up from g-board and 3rd rail was 3'6" up leaving over 2'6" to the top with no rails. fence had only been up 6 months. my advice was contact the person that put the fence up and get them to come and correct the F-ups (provided it wasn't the old home owner that put it up) they didn't want to do that so gave them 2 options. 1 bodge it by putting extra posts in between the existing giving 1.8m spacings and also dig down around the existing posts and put more concrete around them, also put another rail higher up. said I wasn't happy to go down this road as it just looked such a mess and that I couldn't guarantee the work 2 take it down and start again/replace the hole thing (was going to cost the same as bodging it) so gave them the prices and went on my way. week later get a call early eve saying the fence is about to fall over and is there anything I could do as a stop gap while they make there mind up so went down with some 6' half rounds banged them in over 3' deep (ground was soft as s£$t) and screwed cross beams to the fence. told them they would need to make there mind up sharpish as they wouldn't hold long. 2 weeks later at 4.30 on xmass eve get a call to say the fence is in the road and could I do something about it so off I shot again this time taking the chainsaw with me. arrive there and say there realy is only one option now but they have a tizz "cant I just prop it up blah blah blah" sorry the only thing I can do is cut it up and get it out the road. they agree and ask how quick I could put a new fence back up. told them I would try and get it done between boxing day and new year (was ment to be having time off!) weather was crap so it didn't get done but I communicated with them a lot letting them know what was going on. the hole time this has been going on they have been nothing but rude

only reason I asked is 95% of my customers are good as gold but went to do a fencing quote couple of days ago and the customer was rude from the word go despite going out of my way to be as helpful as possible hence I will not be quoting/getting the job

how do you deal with rude or wrong customers? I take "the customer is all ways rite" way of thinking but its bloody hard sometimes lol

and the 2years of calls from "you can make a claim" types

id try it on fresh fuel fella! I couldn't believe how fast my fuel had gone bad!

how old is the fuel in it? I had the same problem week or so ago with my ms211 and it turned out the fuel had gone bad! thing is the fuel was only 5-6weeks old!

hi there fella I PM'ed before do you ever come dorset way? if so how much would it be for a load delivered just out side Dorchester? thanks Gary

pneumatic timber harvester/processer ?

yes but normaly only on larger amounts not the odd tipper load

exactly!

There seams to be a lot of people posting looking for arb waste/cord to make in to fire wood and they mostly seam to get an ok response so why not have a place where people can put up what they have going spare and what they want for it? i understand that most people have markets for larger amounts but there must be times when you just get some arb waste/cord spare in smaller amounts or just to far from your yards so why not have a place to try and put the people together?

thanks fella

bit of a hi-jack as I guide how much would it cost to supply and install a log burning biomass boiler in an average 4bed house? we have gas central heating at the moment thanks Gary

hadn't even thought about it to be honest

its very good on top of cauliflower cheese to give it a bit more bite

as everyone is asking im looking for arb waste for fire wood big or small hard or softwood can collect within 20 miles of Dorchester/blandford
