[SteveBullman]

no work rolla?

 

[SteveBullman]

im bored, sitting here twiddling my thumbs.

 

[teressa green]

plenty of slash and dash merchants up here ,but if you want to build a good customer base its not the done thing,works rolling in nicely now,for the record i aint one of the slash n dashers ,good quality work for a fairish price ,today storm repair work ,large oak hangers every where ,job done ,now sat here trying to get some feeling back into my fingers ,

 

[ROLLACOSTA]

no work rolla?

no i have work to do ,but today i picked my truck up after having high ali sides put on her ,and i waited in for the guy to pick up the trailer and pay me which he did.. ..did you work for w jarvis today

 

[SteveBullman]

no thats tomorrow and thursday.
big A on friday then nothing.
struggling to find work now, bit worrying really.

 

[ROLLACOSTA]

changeing the subject ,i think well i'm pretty certain i shall be getting a U1200 UNIMOG ,with small hiab ,new chip box and new 10 inch chipper this coming financial year,do any of you guys apart from jamie,have much to say good or bad about mogs???..the only problem i have is that for a mid 80s mog with crane ,chip box etc and new chipper costs around £30,000-£35,000..my concern is the age of a mog in this price range,seems you don't get much for your money

 

[teressa green]

parts can be expensive,as can tyres ,you cant just pop into quick fit if the exhaust falls off,access can be a problem as can the history ,hard to know the history on an old uni mog ,fantastic machines but be very choosy and have a good long think about it,think its horses for courses ,if your doing site clearance work within 30 miles of home why not buy tractor trailer and chipper ,most boys up here have had the mogs and gone down the new holland with a schleisslingon the back route,,

moi

why not me?

that really hurts.

as you know i love my mog, they are expensive to keep going i sometimes wish the chip box was bigger, easier to get round town, as for popping into kwik fit, whats wrong with a spanner and a gutter?
so are you getting a crane mounted on it as well as a chipper and box? im intrigued by the logisitics.
we have a winch and a butt plate up front, makes a great skidding / pushing tool.

i wont go on.

you have biased oppinions lol...logistics ,rear chipper,mid mounted chip box,crane behind the cab..or you could go rear mounted crane ,midmounted chip bin,front mounted chipper

 

[ROLLACOSTA]

teressa green ,i have been talking to ac price & frank atkinson ,both say they could supply me a genuine ex german council mog..and both said they don't supply rubbish ,but checking out there websites i have seen all sorts of mogs for sale both good ones and ones in need of attention...i think the only problem with a mog is ,if you by a bad one you could be in for alot of exspence...if a new cab & chasis mog was more affordable ie £30,000 -£35,000 i would by new ,but 50k-60k is way out of my league ..plus i'd want to spend another 20k+ on chipper, crane ,chip bin

 

[blue]

have you won the lotto rolla?

 

[ROLLACOSTA]

you should exspect work to come in slowly at first ,remember your only just getting your name around..you need to do a mail shot imo

 

[jamie]

ok i am biased.

i am biased, im still intrigued by the set up with the box and crane though.

Mogs

Can't back this up with fact, but i'd be interested to know the truth..

Aren't mogs classed as agricultural vehicles now, in the same bracket as tractors? I'd heard that might change, and some of them might end up in the HGV bracket, with all the hassle that involves with licences etc. Even smaller ones might need operators' licences and all that.

Just what i've heard, can't back it up with proof..

i know a man who has a u1000 with a three way tip box a ten inch rear mounted pto chipper and a front mounted winch
i think he wants about 16k +vat for it if that price seems more reasonable for you

 

[ROLLACOSTA]

thanks IAN but when/if i buy a mog i shall buy it from a dealer from the UK or europe,that way if it gives me probs he'll have to fix it [i'll only buy one with at least 3 months warenty] ...guys i should say i would/will get a mog if the wife lets me she's a bit pi*t off with me wanting one at the moment,as ive just bought a new isuzu nkr and nissan navarra..litteraly 4 weeks ago...realy i could do with a new 352 [deisel] vermeer stump grinder
god i love the toy's in this game....i might take tgreens advice and go with a tractor,all i know is i need something that can get 10 ton away in one go ,plus power a 10 inch chipper time is money !!

 

[wurzel]

rolla are you getting much work seems to me you must be very bizi to justifie that sort of expense. i only ask as most of our gang has been laid off due to a lack of work.

 

[ROLLACOSTA]

sorry to hear that wurzel..im just ticking over myself ,i wouldn't spend that type of money for a short term plan im looking more long term investment
