i reckon 2 of us a day, 8 hours. would pay quite well if local delivery. im still on arb waste and not even got started on my 50 tonne i bought in. so it would be well worth it.

Evening All. A request from a mate. He is a Landscape Gardener and wants a good all round saw for about £250-£300? anyone got any ideas. Cheers.

How long is a piece of string. if its softwood and you have sharp teeth then its can be quite quick, especially if the trees have been down for a while, willows and poplars can be quite stringy and take a bit longer, hard woods can take sometime if they aint been down for very long but even old oak stumps are rock hard, you would be best getting a machine and just trying it out and getting a feel for it. charge on a day rate and you should be ok. whatever you do MAKE SURE THE TEETH ARE SHARP.

but what about the wood chip?
-
depends on the price. at the mo i use a standard lecter bus, sorry sack trolly, only cost 30 quid but you cant stack brash on.

Interesting bit of the program. just wondering why the climber wasnt using spikes on a take down?
-
Ok skyhuck, whatever. im off to have my t.
-
Skyhuck, I do not think anything that is not locked up etc is fair game. i cant stand theiving scumbags. My point was that if rob had not left the blower in the pick up then it would probably not have got stolen. If you went out and left your front door wide open on purpose and some scumbag walked past and went in and nicked your tv would you expect sympathy? If you went out locked all your doors and windows, put your burglar alarm on and you got broken into and had your tv nicked then you could expect some sympathy. These are my opinions which i am entitled to. that dosnt make me a bad person or a sympathiser to theiving scum.
-
Ok, I feel for rob because he seems like a nice guy just trying to make a living like the rest of us. he left his blower in a pick up where it could be nicked quite easily. so even though i feel for his plight it was his own fault for leaving it in his van.
-
what dont you understand? i can feel bad for someone without sympathising with them. My point was that leaving gear where it can be taken is a gamble, it will get nicked or it wont. I know what i mean anyway.
-
What sort of price is it gonna be?
-
Of course we should. we should be able to keep our gear locked in our truck same as we should be able to leave our houses unlocked when we are in the back garden, or stuff in our sheds without some scumbag climbing a fence and robbing it, same as we should be able to use our credit cards without the fear of it being cloned.But we cant. These are the times we live in and unfortunatly we cant do much about it. I do feel for rob that he has been robbed but thats what can happen if you leave gear where it can be taken. when i got robbed it was my own fault for leaving my gear where it could be eaisly got at. i wont ever do that again. I also have all my gear insured.
