    Someone has set the digger driver a go fund me page and folk have donated just over £6,100 so far apparently he hasn't been paid and his boss has skipped country because of costs he now owes

    Just been looking online after reading this thread and seen a Alke ATX 340e 2m long 1.4m wide tipper body 1630kg carry capacity on road with 2000kg towing capacity on the road and 4500kg off road and a 150km milage per charge and looking at reviews they seem really handy and a good selling point towards customers tree surgeons look after trees health and all the carbon monoxide of vehicles and saws the alternative is go electric or run saws on aspen and leave a lighter global footprint behind when finishing jobs surely a lot of people would rather use a professional who has less of a impact on the environment now that its available to?

    That is a good going rate then and I'm in Maryport Cumbria so the minimum tickets would be cs30/31/32/34/35 then? The views are free would be a good job for head clearing as well

    Sounds like the life for me just out of interest what is the going day rate for a hand cutter around Yorkshire / Cumbria area?

    Now that's my ideal place to be might be hard graft but the view themselves are rewarding enough Where's that at?

    I'm wanting to retire about 55 I'm sure it's about 68-70 when state pention kicks in though I'm not 100%
  12. Jwoodgardenmaintenance
    Cheers for the info appreciate it
  13. Jwoodgardenmaintenance
    Cheers spud that's a lot less complicated than what I was reading yesterday just want to invest my money wisely and be able to gain with the money I dont see or use 30% sounds good to me I think a few phonecalls are on the list to be done
  14. Jwoodgardenmaintenance
    So all in all is a pention worth while or should I save say £200 a month and just put it into a savings account and just let the interest ect take its toll and when I come to the age of retiring just withdraw so much each week been looking at equity isa and they seem really complicated unless someone can explain them simply?

    I live in a council house at the minute and I wouldn't even consider spending any money on the house that I can't take with me when I moved in they gave me £200 worth of decorating vouchers and the walls are fairly smooth so painted the lot and carpets can be fetched with me the best thing is when I move out if I don't take carpets ect I'll get fined. For me renting is just a short term thing till u build the funds for my own house
  16. Jwoodgardenmaintenance
    Ive been told that by a few folk the only thing is I dont want / need a mortgage or any credit I've have always made do with what I have and if I need something and I can't afford to buy it out right I'll improvise or just do without I dont like the thought of other people having the right to pull the plug on something I have partially invested in and losing out on it
  17. Jwoodgardenmaintenance
    I've always liked using cash rather than plastic money (cards) I dont have a credit card and my debt I've got which isn't much is all getting cleared off fairly sharpish and Ive considered finance for a new digger and 4x4 but I've talked myself out of it I can't bare the thought of it sitting in the drive with no work while I'm paying out for it isn't ideal plus I don't like giving someone 4-5k for lending me the money
  18. Jwoodgardenmaintenance
    Me personally I can live off £100 a week once the rent has been paid ect I don't drink I smoke rollies so that costs me £12 a week and then my shopping only costs £35 a week then the rest is if I'm on my rounds and fancy a sarnie while on the road or a odd portion of chips now and then I really don't like spending money ?
  19. Jwoodgardenmaintenance
    Is it only chainsaws you fix spud?
  20. Jwoodgardenmaintenance
    Cheers spud not sure what the singulare is but heard of the windblown looking at spending this year just gaining qualifications then see where that takes me
  21. Jwoodgardenmaintenance
    I love working but when low on work worry kicks in ect that's why I keep my overheads to a bare minimum so if I have a quiet few weeks I've got nothing going out my pocket so looking forward to having a steady Income no mortgages or anything just day to day living costs and whatever else I see what is shiny and new
  22. Jwoodgardenmaintenance
    I've actually just been online reading about this and basically say for instance my annual income is £26,000 & I pay 10% £2,600 then I get a 6% annual rise apparently once my retirement comes at 55ish hopefully I'd have a pot wort £523,000 which I really dont understand how that all adds up tbh anyways when I'm 50-60 I'd love to be sitting on my own farm with a good few heffers out in the field and my nice and shiny John Deere 7530 on a 2052 plate ? parked up outside ready for tinkering about the following day sounds like a plan to me ☺
  23. Jwoodgardenmaintenance
    I'm always planning 2 steps ahead! need to be like that no one else will do it for me and financial decisions are something I don't like especially when it comes to tools (toys) I like shiny new things that have literally no use to me but look really cool ? ?
  24. Jwoodgardenmaintenance
    Just being curious is the CS34/35 windblown and dangerous tree? My grandad always said to me find a trade / job I like and I'll never work a day in my life so I've found the path I like and I'm going into it with all I've got the outdoors is the place where I'm happiest ☺
  25. Jwoodgardenmaintenance
    I'm self employed doing landscaping and groundwork and I'm wanting to get on new build sites for drainage and road building and I need tickets to operate machines on site and also when I try to hire 13+ ton machines they won't hire them on self drive if I'm not qualified so basically it's a investment in myself and my business so they should be used regular and often ?
