Quadchip if you do lots of domestic as brillaint for rotating it and getting it in small places. Runs amazingly and back up service is far better than forst. 

I wast told by isuzu its the same model as the 7.5 ton just with out certain bits to make it 3.5 ton

3litre 150bhp is amazing we have one and will be getting a second soon the 1.9 was under powered we felt.

The bottom pic is the 3litre 150hp we have that as the 1.9 was under powered full of chip and towing a chipper IMO

Our Brash Cart is ideal for tree surgeons, gardeners and foresters to move brash, logs, timber and chip.

we have this it’s awesome built like a tank and the guy is brilliant. We have both sets of wheels. 

£100-£150 if your good nd on it we would pay probably higher end to be fair after a couple of trial days 

That just doesn't happen, a good climber will always have work. Often firms will pay them climbing rate for ground work, just to keep them around. 

I've noticed you've upped the rate for the job you've advertised, is the £150-£200/day on the books, or for a freelancer?
 
Lovely part of the country you live in, I used to spend a lot of time around Whitwell... not a million miles away.

If it makes any of you feel better I'm trying to get onto courses for my climbing tickets at the moment and every training provider you ring is fully booked for months in advance, it seems everyone out of work due to Covid has decided now is the time to realise an ambition to become a tree surgeon so there's likely to be lots of fresh blood bolstering the ranks this year I'd say.
 
I'm planning on getting all my own kit and offering my services to all the local firms and one/two man bands I know, but unsure how to price a days labour given I'm going to be slow and green starting out climbing. I've been using a ground saw for years though and have other skills to bring to the table (driving, towing, machines and mechanics) so I'm hovering around the £90 a day mark at the moment which looks almost too cheap given some of the comments here.

Sad state of affairs that there doesn't seem to be enough guys to go around! 

Not good lads no we will see what happens.

Between Melton mowbray and Oakham even discussed with another tree lad about sharing the climber if they wanted some variety as well. 

Heard that before and watched them destroy everything below them and do stuff like leaving massive stubs so when you're rigging bits down you end up trying to hook stuff out the tree with utility rods. [emoji23]
 
Personally I am always wary of a large pay range when I was looking for work, from experience they always give you the lowest and you fight your way up to get more [emoji23]

Both i think to be honest but if a top climber came and said he/she wants more then we would discuss options for sure two lads i know are also looking for climbers we had a lad said he was amazing and broke loads of stuff and then said he didn’t want to climb every day!!

Well we are offering £120-£200 for climber depending on experience with us providing all kit just got to turn up and climb and had no interest all work is nice straight forward stuff and job and knock too.

Can’t fault greenmech either had a roller go during first lockdown and even though on restricted staff they sorted it all out in under 24 hrs and had another one ready for me. The machines are fab too, the mudguards on our quadchip are terrible though and keep breaking but most liking to driver error. Want a 8inch quadchip now with the big boy engine in it.

Really struggled with a full load and chipper. Went for a Isuzu now and it is awesome pulls like a train and lovely to drive. Not much room in cab though for 3 lads.

Had one and it blew up but did only have single wheels at the back didnt like the weight one bit

As above anyone have one of these or used one have had good and bad reviews of them it’s not to replace hand sharpening just assist when have a lot of chains and badly damaged. 

A decent groundie is worth £100 with no tickets to £150 with all Ground tickets and experience and hard worker in my books but there is a shortage in Leicestershire

Always need cover for a forst chipper. Best way is to move next door to the shop.😂😂😂

Have you tried outwear? They are the importers we have had some issues with ours so they sorting it but sure they have new u its avaible

What do you think to them are they worth the money? I am currently running sena units which have lasted great but I like the idea of no wires

We love them so easy to use very clear and battery lasts for 3 days being used everyday. We have had issues with two of them stop working but to be fair to Outwear they have moved heaven and earth to fix them and even sent demo ones to get us through while ours are repaired. The lads wouldn’t be without them especially on noise sensitive sites and road jobs makes things so much safer in my eyes and saves a lot of time as you don’t have to keep turning the saw off to hear the groundie. They are very loud too we had senas but got fed up with the wires etc and they are very cumbersome. Only issues with the protos they are bloody expensive I think. 

Are the bt coms you are waiting for the phanner protos ones ? I have been trying to source some since December!

Morning all,

does anyone know if it is possible to get a adaptor plate for the Vermeer skidsteer to make it into 3 point linkage? W dare looking at getting a 3 point linkage log splitter and using the Vermeer hydraulics and front plate.
