  1. Good age to start, not everyone wants to go traveling, I started at 20 and being young I had the energy to work 24/7 with no other commitments. I have a successful business now just not much energy left 🤣
  2. Yes so far so good, I am no digger expert (more an Avant expert) all seems strong enough and a few mates of mine who do operate diggers often have mentioned its well built for the money. I think its a real good all rounder and the dealers are easy to talk to, 100 hours in and no complaints yet......
  3. First day out tomorrow with the Sunward SWE 25 UF
  4. Evening Looking for some advice on flails. Would you go for a Femac or a Ghedini DA53? or any other make you think would work the best for heavy brambles, samplings and small Gorse Cheers Joe
  5. I have the exact same engine. The solenoid has failed a few times. Cheaper to buy the full starter. Got mine from www.nixonhire.com they are Hatz dealer.
  6. Left school at 15 and thought I was having the summer off messing with mates, turns out i was into full time branch dragging on the Monday thanks to my mother. Much appreciated now tho!
  7. I have a versalift on a Merc Sprinter. Really reliable and easy to buy parts if need be
  8. The 25 meter spiders are the way to go. You need at least 10 meters outreach i find. You are looking more like £80k + Vat for one now but on the right jobs you can do two days work in one. Thats how you make your money with them. Even better with a good climber to be doing the dismantle whilst the spider is on other trees crown lifting etc. Mewps will never replace a climber but if you get both working well together then thats where the dollars at.
  9. The dream set up that Merlo and grab. With a Ash die back contract I think it could pay and they hold the value when selling on

  11. Hi Anyone got expericence in using a company to spec a truck and large hiab combination?
  12. Hi guys Anyone ever wear the chainsaw protection sleeves for your forearm? I know one arm use of the top handle is bad but just looking for some extra protection for the lads especially whilst in the MEWP Cheers Joe
  13. We do 8am on site, 10am brew for 10 minutes, 12.30pm lunch for 20 minutes. Back in the yard by 4pm very latest. Usually job and knock.
  14. Hi Guys Need to buy a new chipper and want it to be diesel. Anyone bought the new stage 5 engines in a TW230 or similar? been disappointed compared to the 35hp or does it get the job done just fine? Thanks
  15. What problems did he have with the machine?
  16. Yer dealer back up is my biggest concern with moving away from Timberwolf as I cant fault spectrum plant.
  17. Thanks guys. As long as the pull in power is good I don't mind it being lower. They certainly look well built. Does anyone have any experience with dealer back up?
  18. Hi Guys Anyone use the Schliesing 235 MX? need a new chipper and fancy something with better build quality to Timberwolf and Forst. Any videos I have seen of the chipper in action seem very slow infeed. What do you think? Cheers
  19. Cheers for the advice guys. Will crack on with the Jensen trailer
  20. The machine is 5 years old. To be fair to Jensen they have offered me a reduction on price for the Jensen chassis. Still comes in at the same price as something like the above which has the axle,wheels and lighting all set up ready to go..........
  21. Yer should have mentioned it doesn't really matter if it goes over as we have trailer licence
