  1. Good Question!
  2. Thats very interesting and applicable to my situation as me and my partner are looking to buy our first home soon. Definitely worth keeping in mind! Thanks for the info.
  3. Hi, just looking for advice on going limited as opposed to being a sole trader. Obviously there is both pros and cons to both but I'm just wandering if anybody has recently made the transition and has any info on how it affected them and their business. Thanks.
  4. Hi Andy, I'd be interested for more info on this, drop me an email at [email protected] Thanks. Conor.
  5. https://cjmtreecare.co.uk Any pointers would be appreciated! Cheers!
  6. Cheers pal! Appreciate the comment ??
  7. Thanks mate ????
  8. Newly set up business so dont have the pennies to be spending on promo vids just yet! So had a blast with the Gopro ?!
  9. Thanks for the feedback everyone! Yeah gunna opt for fitting one to the front of the hilux instead
  10. Also the winch on the chipper will be ready to go instantly so say your felling small trees you can drag them whole to the chipper and sned there as opposed to snedding where they land and walking back and forth to the chipper if that makes sense, where as if i have to set something up it wont be worth that hassle.
  11. That looks like a good piece of kit! How much do they come in at? And to be honest the winch on the chipper wont cost me much as my mate will charge me peanuts for fabrication and fitting, a small 1 tonne winch comes in at £90 for a decent brand so probs looking at £250 all in.
  12. Hi there, Just wondering if anybody has bothered fitting a small winch on a small tow behind chipper? I work with one ground guy usually and theres been a few jobs lately where one would have come in handy, storm damage and also thinking long up hill drags and certain fells where instead of someone bursting blood cells on the pull line simply winch it over. I have a mate who can manufacture a mounting plate to fit it to the chipper. Just curious to see if anybody else has tried it and if its actually come in handy more than they thought or am i just finding excuses to stick a winch on everything ha! Also any pics would be great!
  13. Thanks for the tip! To be honest i just remove the tailgate completely when im tipping its easy enough. Aint risking damging the sign boards
  14. Thanks mate!!
  15. My first arb truck, the fine art of polishing a turd ?
  16. Have worked with the GRCS alot and its an awesome piece of kit, not worked with either of the other two but don't bypass the hobbs either... I really like the simplicity of that thing!
  17. Mmmm i aint to sure on it being a Mac, leaves dont seem to match up... Im 95% sure its a Japeneese Red Cedar
  18. Thanks for the response, yes mainly aiming at smaller businesses.. It's very early days as of yet but id like to steer my business to get more commercial work as opposed to the relying on residential stuff. Im just looking for ways to get my foot in the door or hear how other companies go about it. Cheers
  19. Hi there, I have been away travelling for the past year around NZ and Norway and recently come home (Sunny Wigan) to set my own business up. I've got a transit, chipper, saws hedgetrimmers etc.. I am insured, got my tickets and just managing to fill a week or 2 ahead in my diary with half private work and half sub contracting to larger firms. I have mainly done private/residential work over the past 6 years in the UK but wanting to get more contract/commercial work or atleast tender for them. How do i go about pushing for more that line of work? Do i send emails out to the head offices? What are peoples experiences and is there any advice people can offer me? Thanks
  20. Hi! I am currently looking at picking up some helmet comms for my protos helmet. I want to be able to recieve calls/listen to music also. Anybody help me out who are currently running comms with a protos? What are my options? I've done endless time on google searching (15 mins ?) and im struggling! Thanks in advance!
  21. Thanks for the write up! I've recently landed in Norway and the guy im working with uses one and loves it. I'd never heard of them and still on the wrench and VT myself. Definetly going to give it a try now!
  22. I sure am mate! ??
  23. I came to Norway mate to do some work out here, would be nice to go back one day, wages arn't great to be fair for the scale of work your doing though, the experience you get though is quality!
  24. Thanks mate!
