  1. William, Very interested in how you get on with this, could you post an update on what course of action you take?
  2. What's the width of it? Looks quite wide. Does it fit through a standard gate? That gate in the vid is defo wider than most...
  3. Just purchased some bolle's. How I love the info on this forum. 👍🌳😎
  4. Sorry to bring up an old thread but did you manage to get to the bottom of your paperwork issue? What paperwork did you need?
  5. Do any of you guys know if I need a conformity letter to get the truck insured? Slightly confused..!
  6. Been recommended them loads of times. Good set and good service. Good price as well!
  7. Cheers for your insight Bob. Points taken onboard
  8. I'll get you some proper pics tomorrow. Ali tipping buck so nice and light. 2006 Ranger. This is it without the buck. .
  9. Cheers all. It has been modified just recently to include a tipping buck. Previously had a normal standard buck.
  10. Just had our Ford Ranger modified with a proper tipping buck. Work was done professionally and not in the yard. Can you recommend insurers for me as a lot of insurance companies are turning me down. Any other useful advice would be gratefully received. Thanks.
  11. I use ESS ballistic glasses. They're issued to the military so there's plenty knocking around at a good price. They wrap around, have interchangeable lenses and are obviously ballistic. Iv worn them on military operations abroad and for tree surgery, ideal for either. Here an example: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=261904274113
  12. Interested to see when your busiest times of the year are and why? I'm talking more domestic smaller jobs here...
  13. Roger that John cheers, got a recommended make and model??
  14. I'm trying to bolster up security at my yard a little. I'm after a security light/ motion light/ spot light or whatever you want to call it. I haven't asked the farmer if I can get into his mains connection yet so I'm possible going to have to find a battery or solar powered one. Any recommendations?
  15. Kevin, Spot on, nice little summary. Yes, I did do a bit of reading on it and once CIS registered you still need to declare what you have paid to the subbies, even if you have not paid anyone that month. I believe the deadline is the 20th of each month and there's penalties for going over. We have the Labour Party to thank for that one! Cheers for your input. As you say I'm sure the 'Arbtalk crew' will be here soon to tell us otherwise.
  16. Me too, it's quite literally shocking. I'm assuming tree surgery and arboriculture in general does not fall under the CIS scheme unless I'm working on a building site that IS under the scheme?!
  17. If paying your self-employed groundy for a few days a week do you pay in cash and take the hit by not claiming it as an expense or do you use the proper CIS system of using subcontractors and take 20% before paying them?
  18. Also interested as have just purchased a Ranger...
  19. I have heard of izettle. What fee do they take? I'll take a look tomo...
  20. How many times do you use it per month? Do you think it actually gets you more work or makes your life noticeably easier?
  21. Agreed, was thinking if the benefits outweigh the associated costs. Slow payers is a good one but majority of generations can conduct a bank transfer these days. If not then a check will suffice...
  22. Seen a few threads on this but it's an ever changing subject so thought I'd ask again. Anybody take payment via card with a Paypal or Barclays card machine? In a nutshell Barclays take approx 2.6% of the payment amount with no initial fee with Paypal taking an initial small fee (approx £50) and then 2.7% of the payment amount. Is it worth it? Thoughts?
  23. What's the link to this please Gray?
