Hi, we’re looking to add a couple more members to our team! We’re located in South Bucks. Ideally looking for people that have experience in the industry as we have a couple of lads that are currently going through there tickets but everyone considered! We currently mainly do domestic work but have started to push the commercial side a bit more so there is some variety to our work. We have most of the kit a small team required to make your day easier including loaders, tracked grinder, small/large chipper, crane.. which takes a lot of the manual labour out where possible. looking for people that can use there own initiative when working. Working efficiently and safely. Pay is anything from £100 a day to £200 depending on work ethic and experience and currently on a self employed basis but looking forward to PAYE. Any questions please dm or text/call 07841620442. Thanks.

Managed to get a Bandit 150xp with a 12x14” infeed. Looks well looked after and had an engine rebuild, bearings etc from global 3 years ago. Should do us a turn! just need to find something to help feed it with now on this bigger jobs a sub 3t digger or upgrade our 420 avant to a 6/7 series!
-
Yes but cheap buy twice is true, so I’ve decided against it. Had enough of evenings fixing old equipment. yes they would be ideal but seem to be few and far between and when they do come up they’re 20 years old! we’re looking at a TP 215 on a twin axle chassis next week, they look pretty impressive and well built!
-
Just wondered if anyone had any experience with these chippers? Looking for something a bit bigger to go behind our lorry and came across one of these but can’t seem to find many around. won’t be used daily just on the bigger jobs, conifers etc. Just can’t bring myself to spend 40k on a bandit! any info/experiences would be appreciated!!

Dropped you a message!

Partners from Tyrone so I’d imagine it wouldn’t be to far from there. We’ve looked at couple of places in Donegal but nothing set in stone atm. I’d like to be down the west coast somewhere.

Hi, does anyone know the rules/license required for driving a vehicle registered as a special vehicle? Is it the same as AG or is a class 1/2 needed? I have looked into it but have a had mixed results! Thanks!

Thanks Conor! Everything i wanted to hear, got a couple to look at over the next couple of weeks! Also the one in ireland seems expensive for the amount of work required to repair!

Hi, Just after some advice from mog owners. We are thinking about buying a mog soon and just wanted to ask a few questions to owners on positives and negatives of them. We are on a farm so would come in handy for this now and again alongside our tree work. positives - Has it helped you to win larger jobs, get additional work with other firms, upped efficiency on the bigger jobs? larger capacity pto chippers cheaper than buying an equivalent bandit for example. negatives? running costs, sat round not doing alot? Which size mog has a decent capacity and enough power to run equipment and tow? Which mog to avoid? Thanks!!

I used to run a 28rx with green teeth and it was good but they're are so big and clumsy. Also would advise against buying second hand, i did and was forever checking it over or replacing bits on it. We now run the bandit sg-40 and much prefer it. lighter, good on fuel, quiet compared to the diesel 28. Specs of the machine are a little less than the predator, cutting depth etc but if its mainly domestic work you're doing i would advise looking at it!

If you're averaging 1.5k plus VAT a day i'm assuming that the majority of those days you're trying to cram several jobs in a day and not just pricing a days work at 1.5 plus vat on a 1 day job?

Thanks Khriss, just heard mixed reviews from the electronic side of things!

Potentially looking at a Vermeer BC200 xl this week and wondered if anyone had any experience with them or vermeer chippers in general? build quality, reliability etc Cant find a great deal online, 8" capacity, 1.4t and that's about it. They have bring out a newer model in the BC200 that looks good. Any info appreciated!

I agree with this but the majority of the work we're doing is domestic so the diggers wouldn't be effective and grain trailer a bit overkill. The avant tends to cover most of the jobs where we have access to the back garden even if its just bringing the brash/timber to the gate to shorten the drag, saves alot of time and back ache. Think i'm best waiting a few months and investing in my boys and getting them competent in climbing/rigging then building from there with additional groundsman. In the mean time ill price the work i want and keep an eye out for a larger capacity chipper. I've only been in the tree game just over a year and going at 100mph so will just hold tight a while and see what the repercussions of covid are before going any bigger and going balls deep with mog, merlo, bandit... Ha. Appreciate all the feedback, defiantly food for thought!

Yes would be the plan, would turn 2 day jobs with 3 men into 1. Would definitely up efficiency. Yes will take a while to to find the right people!

I'd probably get another 150 in all honesty. Cheap to buy, easy to fix/service yourself, covers 90% of domestic work and can get most parts next day. Saves spending out on a more expensive new machine or having monthly payments. But agree with running another subbie and being able to rest from climbing.
