Whenever there is an issue like this it is almost always due to a breakdown in communication and original wishes. If the client told you from the get go that he wanted it ground out to replant, you should of refused the job, as there is no way your pedestrian grinder has ground deep enough. Or client hasn't told you that, and you can rely on your terms, which I hope we're attached to your quote stating that stump grinding is to 'x' depth unless expressly stated. Our terms our 150mm which is sweet f all in the scheme of things, but covers me. As a minimum I would still go down to 300mm If I know someone is looking to replant I will up that to 550mm below grade, charge more and insist that we need to use our large tracked grinder, and tell them to confirm that any alternative quotes are also going to this depth. 2 sides to every story here.

Tried them all - none survive passed 6 months with employees. Fiskars work out the best as you can order new heads and strings for them, but often the shaft gets bent. I have sucome to replacing all the time is what it is

I love it. It means less and less cheap competition which this thread proves. I win the higher paying jobs with these BS companies because no one else wants to jump through the hoops. Which suits me just fine. SSIP's such as CHAS, Safe contractor, construction online etc were all originally introduced to avoid every new contractor having to fill out all the pre qualifications questionnaires. That never happened and you still have to submit all this extra bollocks info. But as I say, suits me - less competition and I charge double the going rate becuase of it

Feeling like taking a punt and just buying this to keep at the yard, looks like a great deal, 2012 - lowish hours. Comes with the bigger 55kw /74bhp engine with a fresh rebuild. weight 2.5 tonne - Pardon our interruption... WWW.EBAY.CO.UK However, I would ideally like to replace one of the teams arb 130 5-6 inch chipper (still keep it, as tows nicely on skidsteer as a makeshift tracked chipper and for tight jobs) but wondered if something like an evo165d or st6D both with metal outers as staff some how smash everything we own up would be better as would work on 99% jobs. Both can be had for less money, a lot younger 2022ish and 200 to 400 hours on the clock We already have an 8/9 inch chipper @1.5tonnes 2022 model Small 23' arb130 would be staying in both scenarios which is what they currently run, so could be used where BC1000 doesn't fit. The 130 chips good but doesn't pull branches in well compared to a larger chipper, weak rollers/crushing power. So a lot more pulling out, turning, cutting again. Nothing wrong with it at all, its a great chipper but obviously has limitations at that size, but can definitely run it as your main chipper if you're just starting out. Easy to flip though 😑, twice. Most our work is commercial and council with maybe 1/3 domestic, usually crap parking though. Council is street trees but parking is bad. In the last 20 working days (4 weeks) that bc1000xl would of been better on 6 days for at least 1 of the teams. We rarely do site clearance. The EVO165 would of been better 16 out of 20 days. After writing that last line I realise I've just answered my own question, but I'm here now so I'm going to post anyway in case anyone has any insights/advice?

If travelling to CM23 is feasible (I appreciate its totally not from croydon, would be at least 1hr 10 in the morning) I will give you a job right now, on the spot, starting Monday or as soon as you are available. I would pay for all your future tickets and create a climbing career/position if that's the direction you want to go in. We also have different skill routes you can go down if climbing isn't your thing. Completely serious, drop me a PM or send your phone number and I'll give you a call. You have simply passed the attitude test, I think you would be a great employee

Turns out, needs to be high quality oil matching the kohler specs Specifically with an anti foaming agent - I ended up using a super bike brand of oil with the above agent (sorry can't find what and where I bought it). Fixed the problem and has been fine since

I would say this has very much now happened

Depending on your area (assuming its far enough away from my area, don't feel like training my competition) I'd be happy to take on another mentee as I have found the one I speak with now keeps me sharp, has fresh ideas and is a mutually beneficial learning experience. No need to pay Assuming we get on/you have a good attitude, otherwise I'll probably stop answering your calls 😂 (sorry I know thats well harsh) Feel free to message me

Google Maps MAPS.APP.GOO.GL ★★★★☆ · Ferme Don't mess around going anywhere else, press day entry on the key pad, head right as you come in and follow the road you will see all the chip piles and log piles Its so easy to tip there Do

I've just accidentally ordered another 12 Greenmech discs from Rotatech after just remembering the last 8 that I ordered shattered on the edges when installing. I've installed these 100s times over the years without issue and was 2nd guessing if it were my fault. Pic below shows how much they overhang and then once tightened edges explode. Think this was on a Arb 130 so trying with the new order on our 205d to see if it were a batch issue or chipper issue Anyone else had these issues? When I emailed they said to send back which was good but have never got round to it as who can be arsed to box them up and send out. Guess we will find out next week LOL EDIT - Reading back on my corrospondense with them, they were more than helpful and offered to arrange collection themselves - Can't fault them at all, maybe I should remove this post

As posted before (for Scotland) A client we have who are a claims handler, needs 2 x teams in each of the above areas. Needs to be a proper company, so insurance, employed staff, proof of certificates etc ideally incorporated for at least 2 years. You quote whatever you want on job and have a 1 in 2 chance of winning it. The money has been good for me, just trying to help them find more teams and they are short up there. Please PM for details or if interested, I need to be somewhat commercially sensitive on here. First come first served as always. If you're not in the area, please don't PM. When other areas come up I'll post. Please PM: Company name Contact number for relevant individual to be called on + email address. Number of teams or staff (ideally needs 1 person who just does quotes/surveys) Approx area covered, for example 20 mile radius from X postcode

Haha i was too lazy to go back and lool at the OP

I've created my own for all our staff through fast feilds which has all of your features and some more (but tailered to our generic RA, which must be reffered to in SSRA, although no one does). I thought about doing what you have, but couldn't make the figures stack up. Even if you get 350 monthly users - which will be harder than you think. My only feedback would be to keep it simple, why bother doing quotes/invoicong etc which 1000 other CRM's will do way better Surly keep it as basic as possible and serve the SSRA market as cheaply as possible Best of luck with it, looks great.

As infrequently as possible - which is not what you want to hear. Good chance it just self seeded rather than was planted. The landlord has ZERO requirement to do anything to the tree on your behalf other than safety recommendations. Legally the HA should have inspection records for the tree (they probably won't) so if they wont allow anything else, ask that a tree survey be done. All that will likely be recommended (based on my view from my arm chair) is a crown lift over the pavement to 3m and deadwood removed if present. Again, check your tenancy agreement
