  1. I have , and better paid thanks , GFU
  2. Obviously sat waiting for comments , sad case
  3. fortunately we didnt have all our eggs in one basket as you stated, i have resisted doing that for obvious reasons, my business sense is is only as good as the information i have to work with to make decisions , if other businesses are unethical in their business dealings you get caught on occasion, you sound like someone who claims they never made a bad move , a know all !
  4. Subbed for 4 yrs as a field team, started off sort of ok, i did question the cost per site visit which is very tight given you need address all areas of landscape maintenance. They gradually gave us more and more sites , most without any consultation, eventually we no time for other works , taken over by ground control after a couple years, often management not well informed of changes, wrong information. Eventually in a meeting last December they took all our sites off us for no solid reason, left my business in dire straits, it supports myself and wife, who is disabled, my youngest son, and my eldests and his family. No warnings, no meeting prior to this event. I think they build up a good round with subbies over time, then shelve them, then give to a team directly employed. Very immoral business ethics. steer clear!!
  5. Tried them, bar and chain miss match? I left a voice mail, called me back a week later ? I stressed this us why I prefer to visit a dealer, he blocked my account, not bothered, go to a dealer , you can avoid this shite
  6. we have Stihl saws, we don't do lots a saw work, but we do grounds , garden maintenance, commercial and residential , we have a Chinese saw as a second user saw for light process work, snedding, logging , get rid of the cheap bar and chain, i don't trust cheap running gear, but pop a good bar and chain on, if it spins good , chain break good, job done, but its not a Stihl or husky or similar , but its a quarter price, safety is the key, make it safe and you have a useful tool.
