It's Audi vs. Skoda. The Samurai will do the job, not as well and not for as long but it will do it for a lot less money. Both have their place.

 

My climbers have Silkys, the grounds maintenance team have samurai. Look after the silky and it will last ages but no point paying silky money when the grounds maintenance team will blunt them prematurely cutting dirty wood / shrubs / fencing.

I used to supply Silkys' and Felcos' but when they regularly get abused or lost, it's now changed to Samurai and Wilkingson

I'm pretty sure Audi and Skoda are exactly the same.

Yes mate, got it back home by 9pm after a quick maccyD's near Kettering. Really chuffed with it, nice clean chipper in perfect working order except the lightboard, which has now been changed to LED.

 

I'm definitely up for camping at Cutters and Climbers next year but don't you have to be entered into a comp to be able to camp? Maybe we should start a vets climbing comp - for a laugh.

 

Not sure bout camping only if comp climbing...bullman will know..glad you got it back in one piece.was it the timberwolf 150 you got? As for a vets climbing comp I think that would be a great idea. But instead of touching bells on end if branches how bout reaching can of Guinness and every one you touch you keep...bring it in.:thumbup:

Great idea

They are owned by the same people but very far from the same.

 

Same underneath, will both do the same job for as long as each other. One will cost less to keep on the road if always main dealer serviced as the manufacturer is wise to the fact that some people are happy to pay extra for good marketing.

Same running gear and engines but different bodies ?

Compare it another way if you are going to be pedantic.

 

Rolls Royce vs ford fiesta. Both cars with 4 wheels and an engine but which one does it best.
