    Thanks Mick I will look them up then. I want a grab that can hold vertical trunks/limbs etc. I have a hydraulic rotating grab which is great but only for timber which is already on the floor.

    Hi Mick, Could I please ask what grab attachment this is, I am looking for something like this for my Avant?

    Unfortunately I agree with most, that is, all you really have are equipment assets as business value to sell on, nothing else. I appreciate you have a very good reputation however as important as this is to you & your historic customers this doesn't hold a monetary value to a potential buyer. Also if you are not in country there's no way you can run your business (even via an in country manager). Its' just not a longterm viable prospect. Eventually all will crumble. I would say if you are leaving the country, make a clean break, enjoy yourself and forget about the business. If you are that attached to it (the business) perhaps its not the right time to move etc. Anyway good luck to you with whatever you decide to do

    I wish I had some goats! Access is rubbish so larger machines isn't an option. Anyone use a basic home garden waste shredder as I wondering if that would handle the waste. I can't get my chipper into the garden as theres too much to drag.

    Can any advise the best way to clear a jungle of brambles 15ft high and dense? I do not know what's in this garden so I don't think running any machinery into the unknown is a good idea. I am guessing hedge trimmers and a lot of hardworking but looking for the best option.

    Yep that happened to me. Turned out there were two accounts (something behind the web creating scene) over the last 5 years when websites were changed. Nightmare. Got them back but it took too long and had zero web presence for a while.

    These situations are pretty simple from what you describe, TM required. It's tempting not to include this to win a job but in the end it's stupid not to do so. I have just looked at a Willow tree on a bend of an A road myself. I told the customer that TM was needed and she just couldn't understand why it was cost what it cost and why it is even needed first place. Basically I just left as soon as I could without trying to be rude. Ps this tree was just hit and damaged by a bus and the police were called to deal with the mess, hence the call.

    Ha ha ha yep probably!!

    Not sure about Not sure about that mick!

    Anyone?

    It's interesting to me that some of you/us feel that you/we should breakdown costs to therefore justify our quotations based on a photograph. Also interesting that the size of a company and time of which we/u finish work is worth mentioning. Work is work, skill is skill. I work directly and also indirectly (as a subcontractor at times) with arborists whom are simply excellent at their job, better than me and more knowledgeable (even though I try) in every area. However I charge more than the majority as I am a business who provides a good service (I think) and whom expects to be rewarded via a wage for doing so. You/we are professionals in general, why under value such a serious business when all is said and done?

    Moles?

    I knew a good guy awhile back who sold logs, he told me was going to speed up his tractor for his log splitting. The next time I bumped into him he had a bandage on what was left of his thumb! I brought a big log splitter recently I thought about doing the same for a while (then remembered!) and thought not! Slow but healthy log splitting for me!
