  1. Go and buy a kit, spend time in the woods. Set a goal, come back to your firm and just do it.
  2. Clearing up 7m wide a fire break . In forestry
  3. Today was using cherry picker/ chipper/ and stump grinder/ climber. Was a great day. Was a great job [emoji123]
  4. This bigger firms seem to have dates they deal with invoices. Just need to like the situation [emoji3]
  5. Happy to see you got a tractor, I want one to [emoji3][emoji3]
  6. Started off with taking in dust in carb flooding carb filling engine with petrol boom boom
  7. They are useful, I can hear things around me, and if I let the trigger go off it’s silent can talk to the guy on the ground if I’m up a leylandy big hedge. Can hear cars. And they are powerful the pruner and hedge cutter.
  8. I like it for so many reasons No noise, no fumes, don’t burn myself, and it’s light weight.
  9. Wish it was outlays of a 1000 for me [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3] Just need to take a positive approach and learn, I didn’t have to much of experience from larger works. I’m learning fast [emoji23][emoji23]
  10. I jumped in green in this, I do different next time
  11. This two tools is absolutely amazing in my opinion, pruner and hedge cutter. Both battery driven And the chainsaw, but battery no lasting long on that one. Pruner and hedge cutter is almost 2 hours on one battery.
  12. Last one was 60 days, this one i spent a lot on and they keep adding on work. Price it after I was shown and then changing goal post. A nightmare. We live and learn
  13. Feels like yesterday I was asking similar question. I price by time. Price high, repair costs are indeed heavy sometimes. New engine, cutter wheel and much more . After you learned your machine you get a good idea.
  14. Any of you took on large contracts, costing a fortune to complete and having to wait forever to be paid ? Some bigger firms out there is real slow paying and we the small people having to put out a lot of money to complete a contract, wages , new gear and everything around it. What’s normal to wait for an invoice?
  15. Sad indeed, it’s a curse living away from friends and family at times.
  16. Some genetic from his mom. Rapidly just disappeared. Such a champion to a man having to suffer like that. Will read positivity tapes to him to listen to so he can get out of the negative thoughts and start healing process.
  17. Was in phone to him for hours, a trip over ASAP
  18. Got news from Sweden my friend has lost his eye sight totally. Got derailed from my power trip of positivity. How blessed I am to have my body still working. I’m never going to complain about anything ever again, can’t remember if I ever have but just in case. To be far from home have a price tag to it.
  19. I need to sit down and get rates worked out.
  20. Been up and downs learning still, stump grinder is paid off. Still got passion for tracked machines traveling over things. Still never hit anything major or damaging anything. Biggest issue is going deep enough, specially in beginning, still sometimes wondering did i leave a great job ? Answer to this is a bigger stump grinder that can handle huge stumps or huge price that gives the time .
  21. Big risk, selling a house we renting out. Carry with a lorry, Got a sale rep working full time since 2 months back. Should’ve done that years ago
