  1. Didnt like mine so sold it.
  2. I had a similar thing happen a few years ago, I made him pay for theorem he broke as it was due to stupidness rather than an accident. From what you say about the lad he is a bit careless with the gear, I would get rid and pay for a decent lad, that's what I do now and it makes a huge difference.
  3. Ha,Ha, deans testing us

    Pleeease start doing stand up Mr B!!
  5. If you look at what your after they show used and new😑
  6. I disagree, you just say what you do and to what a super standard you do it. Dear sir/madam, I am writing to introduce my company billy bollocks tree care, we are based in wangland and cover xyz area. We offer a first class tree care service blah, Blah
  7. Not round here mate, all the schools are in charge of their own budgets and choose who they want.
  8. Email a covering letter to schools, building companys, hotels etc in your area explaining what you do and if they need you to get in touch.
  9. It's bloody November man!!
  10. I can back my chipper on its trailer into or onto most driveways, I work on the side of the road a lot too, it's really not a big deal, as for cost, when I bought that machine it cost me£400 a month in finance, that was in the recession of 08, I managed to pay it off though and will finance my new Timberwolf vtr when it's made.
  11. It's really not a problem, it seems your thinking of the smallest negatives instead of thinking of the massive pluses to having a tracked machine.
  12. Are the people numptys or a we numptys for letting them try to get away with it?? I'm the seller and I set the rules. End of. Try it lads, next time some plonker try's it on just give it to them.
  13. Well it's about 4 cube actually and it's not a problem, lots of tip sites around my area or just leave on site and the climber I use has a Dyna we chip into. The pros of having a tracked chipper outweigh the cons. Tomorrows job for example, 50 meter drag if you have a tow behind or just wind the tracks in and track it in, chip staying.
  14. For me weight is no issue, I don't have a restricted licence and I have a Landy Rover with 3.5 t towing:)
  15. Ifor gx84 mate. I don't find it too high, the tail gate can be a pain but most of the time it's fine or we just take the chipper off. When I get my new chipper I will get a new trailer that I will get made, small wheels and low bed.
  16. No complaints here, once you go tracked you never look back!

    Bargain!

    Seems genuine, If it was nicked I doubt they would leave the dealers sticker on, Armstrongs garden machinery at Preston, just down the road from me, wish I had seen it.
  18. So it does, I've never had a light come on though even at 10 below like the other year.
  19. What's people's thoughts? I haves row of large conny to take 6 foot off in height and trim the face. Frost is about now and I'm worried that doing that to them may cause trouble. Any input welcome.
  20. Td5 don't have glow plugs.
  21. No probs starting my 130 td5, yellow top optima on it. Starts first turn.
  22. I fancy a large ring tonight, mmmmm.
  23. 4 cans of Artois and he will do anything!
  24. There really is no problem with selling a "Stove mix" as any dry wood will burn, especially on a wood burner. Tonight Matthew I'm burning Ash, willow, conny and apple.
