Thanx Simmo,

I could not agree with you more.

Only one contractor has followed my business plans and he is now one of the major contractors in this area.

Owning a mowing round/business is...

The best advise I ever received in this business is " work smarter not harder". (from a Jims Mowing operator)

A single operator can manage about 60 clients.

My suggestion is do a split by...

If you can get access with a 4wd put a snatch strap around one at a time and pull them out.

If that is not possible a brush cutter with a saw blade edge will rip them appart. Take it slow as it...

Thats a big effort. Well done. Enjoy a beer.

Well done. Great job.

Use a new or old blade and place the end behind one of the blade bolds. Wedge the other end into the shoot corner and then undo the plate bolt.

Let me know how you go.

Thank you David for your info and prompt response.

Hi David,

Just a quick question. I am looking at updating my work vehicle in the later part of this year. I currently have a two door Falcon 1 Tonne ute.

I have been advised that if I...

Have a look at these two sites.

I have a pair of the Earmold plugs and they are terrific. I originally got them for when I go Mortorcycle riding but now...

Yep, one here Mark. I class myself as a full timer but work mostly part time hours.

I am fortunate to have some commercial contracts and can do them when I want to.

I refer to my business as a...

"If you do what you have always done you will get you will get what you have always got."

Cut the cord and go for it.

Join INDI and follow all the advise and never look back.

I am successful...

Do we have to purchase new Plant/Equipment to get the 50% allowance or can we purchase 2nd hand stuff.

My advise is, Do not use a van as your work vehicle. A few years back when I was with Jim's, we had a member badly burnt after his van ignition sparked when starting. He received burns to 65% of...

It always rains after a drought! :wave-hi:

Thanks Gary I will look them up. :wave-hi:

Gary,

Just had a look at post 99. Where did you get your mower ramps from? I need to purchase a set for my new ride on.

63 impala,

Not sure if is me that you asked the question about the...

Just bought myself a new Honda 216. I was advised by my local rep that there will be a price rise soon on not only Honda power tools but other tools that are imported.

I would suggest that if...

In my case it depends on the type of grass. If you mulch couch grass for example you tend to leave clumps of cutting behind especially if the grass is a little damp. I usually catch those....

Just a suggestion with the inserts.

Make sure that you do not cut to much of the front of the catcher.

It is also recommended that you use pop rivitts to secure it to the catcher.

David you were to fast for me. ;)

Reel mowers do give you a nice finish especially on couch grass. The problem with them is that they are a lot slower than say a Honda to work with. You also need a very flat and even surface to...

Welcome Ben. As an ex Jim's I know you have made the right choice. Good Luck :wave-hi:

I would not recommend using a van in this business. I heard a Jim's guy in Melb was using a van and his ignition sparked when he was starting it up. The inside of the van blew up with all the...

Gee that looks like Kempsey! :wave-hi:

I charge 25% minimum. Thats the min recommended by my accountant.

If I have to do a lot of running around and make more phone calls I add another 5%.
