Stuart Cole from Haverthwaite might be able to but I don't have his number or David Norman might be past that way 07771 850329.

Is it for Atlas?

It has a high regard for you too Paul!😃

Why not, any opportunity to spread the word. That was taken this morning at a local caravan site.

I spoke to Vermeer in Nivember and he said they were getting some in secondhand in Jan, I've not heard back about them yet though.

Could you not have called him in the Sat at brew time or lunch or just taken 2 mins out of the day to call?

Defender with chip body works for me.

My 150 did that years ago, it was caused by a dodgy fuel cap that didn't breathe.

And Hardoh!

I spoke to Yvonne on Monday and it's going to be in the next couple of months she thought.

Agreed. I have one of the stein ones, it's in the shed! Utter pants imo. The CC&C is great, I own 3 of em!!

There are more and more of these threads popping up on here, do people not know what they should be charging to run a business? Truck, fuel, chipper, insurance, waste carriers licence, these all cost money. I charge minimum of £100 to joe public to chip there stuff take it or leave it. A bloke called me before Christmas, he had cut a load of lonicera and privet down, bloody grt heap on his drive, all tangled up. I told him £160 to chip and take away. He never got back to me. I really don't care. I used to chip other people's crap but after finding wire and roots in the pile I really don't want the hassle. Somebody will do it for 2 and 6, let em crack on.

I thought the same but touch wood it's worked out ok.

If I'm vat reg my overheads are going to be 20% cheaper as I can get the VAT back on most of my overheads where you can't. Also due to the amount I can get back which in turn lowers my running costs which in turn lowers my costs and daily rate I can be pretty much in the same ball park as you.

It's the same old story that comes up on here time after time, if you have been running your own outfit for a while and you know your pricing is usually right then price it at what you want for the job and walk away. If you want the job and can do it to match or beat the other quote then do that. I have had a customer get me to look at the job and tell me he has been quoted x to do the job whereas in reality he hadn't had a quote he had it in his head that's all he wanted to spend. I know firms round my way that charge so little for jobs just to get work and get a start but the problem comes when they hit a problem or they then put the price up in the future. Remember on big jobs there are lots of things that can happen to take the profit if any out of the job. Chugging down with the 880 and you hit a bit of metal and knacker the chain or accidentally drop a branch and it hits something etc,etc. Set your price and go for it.

You still can if it as an implement for digging holes, like a fork or a shovel.

Sweeping generalisations should go in. Yes I drive an Audi and so does mendiplogs!!

Mines a 130 and works great, it was made originally, by Land Rover Special Vehicles, the scissor is original but I had a new frame made as the old one rotted away.

stihl

the tank is behind the near side rear wheel.

I can see most posters points of view in this thread but the retard comment of out of order. End of. It has no replavance to the thread.

Come on there is no need to make stupid comments like that, the retard door knob thing is really out of order!

You pay what you owe now by the end of this month and then in July you pay half or there abouts of what you just paid on account then the following Jan you pay what's left.

That's on the BBC news website, nasty stuff but could of been worse.

From your post it really would help you to get an accountant👍
