"Sure Tim yes we don't hear about the broken diesel vans in the fleet do we, definitely an element of confirmation bias going on over these alleged faulty electric ones. A lot of people hate EV's in general because they feel forced into something…"
"I mean... diesel vans also have electrical wires, and I doubt if rats would be getting at the high voltage side. Diesel vans also have 12v batteries, and if an EV won't start because the 12v is flat, it can be started with a standard jump pack. …"
Hi, Has anyone got any experience of these barrow/dumpers. Or very similar machines. Can't have a skid steer or tracked machine because of large areas of white paving, no black skid marks allowed. Thanks
"John and Adam, make some good and relevant points.
I can have some empathy with you but I am 67 and been in the trade 45 years and guess you are not of a similar age?
Yes I have lost my "spark" for probably 40% of the work which is predominantly…"

Many of the bread and butter jobs we do can be repetitive leading to boredom but it's the same with many other jobs out there .

Hi.Im looking for some ideas to help get my enthusiasm back in running my gardening business please. I've been established for 18 years but this year I have totally lost interest in the job. I slowly reduced my work to majority grass cuts whilst…

"Many years ago I worked for a major supermarket (pre home delivery services) but I remember mice and rats were highly attracted to the service bays around the back by the smell of waste food. When the vans are parked around the back at night it's…"
"I do agree that modern vehicles are much more complicated than they need to be. The biggest culprit is EuroNCAP- to get a 5* rating, vehicles now need to have collision avoidance, lane assist etc. As soon as anyone buys one, the first thing you…"

Echo PB9010T
Currently run Echo P8010T blowers. We clear a lot of leaves from very large commercial sites so need something with lots of grunt! Used to use Stihl BR 800 but swapped when Echo brought out the 8010 as it eclipses the 800 on every level. The 9010…
