perfect thanks for the input. ive currently got a tracked chipper thats not making enought money so i planning on selling that and using it as a deposit but maybe get rid hire stuff for a while see whats making money then buy. i was thinking of going larger than avant but im already pretty much set up for that kind of work with a hilux and large trailer. probably a better starting place realistically to build from just out of intrest have you done this you self and who was your target client ? other firms or larger domestic stuff ?

i was more thinking to go contacting with, but yes agree id need to see if there is even a need for another timber trailer and tractor/ skidder or maybe even a low loader trailer. i dont know i was more thinking to just try and take the strain of my body more than anything.

im seeing if anyone's managed and has any pointers. ive been running my own business now for 8 years subbing abit for other firms but mainly been doing my own thing. ive got an level 3 forestry and arb. 2 years ago i hurt my back at the grand age of 24. compressed disk L4 L5 im since back at work but its never really been right since surgery. i was always aware this might not fully recover but im now always worrying about it. so i was thinking about buying some bigger equipment and going into forestry / biomass as an industry. has anyone made this change successfully and will it make enough money or am i just pissing in the wind ? any advice would be grate, i dont really want to leave the industry because i do really enjoy working with and around trees and not being stuck in a office.

give it a good water also treat the afid. most garden centers sell a fruit tree spray for this.

im glad reading this. ive not read all the pages on this but why would i make my life harder and risk my lively hood so you can save a few quid. id rather not do the job. the worst ones are the ones that say can we do cash after the job and then expect a discount. and its always the ones you'd least expect

cut it super super short granular moss killer with weed and feed maybe over seed at a later date. kubota g21 would be my go to for a ride on lawn mower

Slow atm. hoping it will pick up again once the sun comes out again. but i think we are going to see less people spending money. ive done a fair few quotes in the last few months and only had 1 or 2 new jobs come out of it.

is it really worth it?

£3k a week you gotta hire a picker and a chipper plus run 2 vans probably alot of driving. im not saying i wouldn't do it just gonna be £1k min in hire surly ? side note are you short on domestic work is that why your considering the change ?
