  1. If you havent got the cash to hand or have better uses for it look at contract hire. You can claim the lot against tax and only pay the depreciation which is why its generally a better deal than purchasing. Credit score isnt so important as you dont own it. Vans are dirt cheap. a brand new tipper you looking at £200 a month with 3/6 months down.

    Air Tools

    So having a look at the nifty air spade on the other thread and killing 2 birds with one stone. Fencing nailer, I use the dewalt electric whose only drawback is the weight. The tennis elbow hates it. I was looking at the flexvolt compressor and 1st fix nailer as its not quite half the weight of the electric gun while still being fully portable and no mains BUT it wont be man anough for the air spade. As the vehicle is allways on-site is there a vehicle mounted compressor that could be used instead to save lugging round a petrol one ? Flexvolt Pneumatic compressor | DEWALT WWW.DEWALT.CO.UK
  3. no no no! you need a bobcat E10 and and auger !!!
  4. dont bother drilling, cover the back with sticks like. will be the strongest part of a wimpy house.
  5. just claim on your insurance and let them sort it out.

    New Defender

    same, keeping the current vehicles until the other manufacturers can produce a tesla competitive vehcile. Min 300 miles range (100KW/h battery pack) for under £40k.
  7. not just profit, you can pay family members dividends ( cheaper than inc tax), you can borrow money from the company and not pay tax on it for a while, you can bump the company to clear off a debt and resurect it debt free and go again, lots of little fiddles/advantages.
  8. yes get a bean counter on it, no way its more than £1500.

  10. you need to test pressure when it exhibits the fault if you can. But It looks like swopping the pump is the crack.
  11. get the bobcat E10, an auger head and cutter. they on 5 years 0%. Better than any ISA.
  12. that would have been end of for me. Thats how much respect he has for you, do drugs outside your house.
  13. any of the shitistan places will do.
  14. my advice, buy as many mini diggers in the last 5 years of trading as you can, write them off on your books and sell them for cash when you retire.
  15. i think you will be surprised, those domains less than £500 each. Obviously the associated business excluded.
  16. No unfortunately it's rear tip but dropping the chipper is only a few min, putting it back on is a little more tricky but once I fit the camaras this week it should be a lot easier but as long as you have a spotter it wasn't bad doing it last week. Put a hinge on it so you can swing it out alongside the trailer to tip then swing it back after.
  17. that trailer looks incredibly short. I dont think my 3 tonner would fit on it lengthways. My indespension trailer is 10 foot and the arm hangs off the back as there is not enough room to pull it in tight enough at front and not hit towing vehicle when it corners. Not sure on the laws in Oz are you allowed to have 8 foot of digger arm hanging out the back of a trailer ?
  18. that makes sense, the table is couple years old now.
  19. my old table from when i was looking at 3 tonners, the E26 is a good competitor to the kubota albeit with a lot less power.
  20. https://ke.kubota-eu.com/constructionmachinery/products/mini-excavator/kx030-4-mini-excavator-kubota-construction-machinery/ already has 2 lines and dedicated aux pump, sticks have rockers on ready.
  21. crack on, dont leave a mess.
  22. that green tracked job looks a disaster waiting to happen. One small rut and that chap suspended 5 foot in the air will be launched.
  23. dont. you will use a chain per hole. we had one on hire to slot a 600mm footing, was blunt as cheese after 20 mins.
  24. reckon on £120k+ for a small plot just big enough for a 100m2 house. if you want an acre then £400k+ round these parts.
