  1. Some good colours flowing through recently.
  2. And un-tack that spacer as it may not be in the right place with the next bearing.
  3. I'll warrant that was made in China and never been near Hyundai! The same design is available from other suppliers in a different colour. If it was to go wrong, which supplier fixes it?
  4. I call them an NRV, Non return valve.
  5. I would get a decent chain and padlock.
  6. Look like it, not sold in UK market.
  7. I'm told that it is the colour and compound of track material Gary. I see quite a few cherry pickers etc with this for use inside - they often have covers on the wheels which are removed once the unit gets to the doorway too.
  8. Lemon yellow Arb130?
  9. Orange CS100?
  10. Foreign client wanted non marking tracks so he could get through buildings etc and not mark the floor - also useful on posh drives etc!
  11. Looking at options for the house truck and would value an opinion on LGP conversions. Personally, I'm a fan of LR/RR/Disco stuff and a V8 LGP piques my interest.
  12. Usual discount Stewart, maybe less to you!
  13. The missus is thinking of getting one with a budget of up to £5k. What should I look for? What are they like as a daily? What is the RFL? Any decent alternative?
  14. You missed the comments in a GreenMech sales meeting a year or two ago!
  15. Surely you mean "work it until it is broken!" Rather than work on it until you break it! If there is metal bits in the filter then it might be time to start putting money aside! Are there two filters? One on the suction side and one return? Are the tanks steel? Stick a magnet to the bottom of the tank.
  16. Good on you for going to the effort to show your wares. Very best wishes and I hope it goes well!
  17. Why were they "really good times?". Are you an "anti-establishment" sort of person who is against progress or someone who was having a blast while the state was paying you? I feel unsettled by what is happening in Sheffield but, by and large, the tree stock had to be mismanaged over years (decades) because of lack of money, lack of knowledge and lack of impetus. Yes, it has been handled badly and the majority of protests are from an biased, ill informed public who are coerced by the press whose only interest is to sell space.
  18. Gallowtrees in Sheffield had one of those Kingwell/GreenMech excavator based grinders for sale a while back. An excavator can be had reasonably cheaply and a replacement arm/engine can fabricated by local blacksmith/engineer!
  19. Not worth a great deal if you cannot tow it surely. 3000kgs is quite heavy too!
  20. Worth repairing or fit a new one? Might just be worth buying a new one and cracking on with the workload.
  21. There is an ArbTrak 200 in Poland which has done a documented 1,200+ hours in a year!
  22. And filter at 500, but, who does!?! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!
  23. Talk to Dean at Global, he will be able to help you.
  24. Muck Sharp asked me to thank you and Nick for helping out of a dark spot last Friday. Much appreciated! I'll let Nick know tomorrow. Hi to Claire, enjoy the break!!!

  25. Support from the importer will be hit and miss at best. They now sell Forst! That being said, robust build and heavy. If I was a machinery dealer like Global Sales in the Midlands, I'd take it for service work and talk to you about spares costs and availability prior to doing work.
