KUBOTA V1505T - 44HP I believe.

We are thinking that possibly we could streamline our stump grinding operation, possibly replacing the HB20 and the 2150 with an SG40. We don't do many big stumps, the big grinder probably only goes out a couple of times a month, the little one goes out more but only a couple of times a week. We could also get rid of a trailer and free up some space. The HB20 in a 2011 model we have had since new, it has had a new engine last year, and clutch last week, the clock says 465 hrs. It is currently running fine. The 2150 also a 2011 model (we purchased in 2015) runs fine on a long teather, we have a remote but it does not worked reliably and we have not managed to find someone with the electrical knowhow to sort and as its works fine without we never really pursued the fix. I didn't have the key so not sure of the hours, but they will be low for the age of the machine. They have NOT been tarted up. They have the original stickers from the factory. Dean at Bandit has given us a trade in price and there is a wait for the SG40's so there is no rush to be rid of them. What do people think they are worth on the private market?

You are considerably cheaper then what we pay for C1+E.. I think we have paid closer to £3,000.. and that's if they pass first time.

As an employer with 7.5 ton trucks, 3.5 ton trucks, sub 750kg chippers and bigger chippers. Some drivers with grandfather rights, some with trailer licence, some with out. It can be challenging sorting crews.. It is a big investment putting an employee through c1+e.. Having c1+e is an asset as long as you can actually drive the truck.. (I have had employees with the license who wouldn't drive the trucks)

How much is a low (for year) mileage (108,235) 2000 3.5ton TD5 worth? We would consider selling ours for the right price. We have have owned it since 2011, it probably does less than 3000 miles a year, but serviced annually, normally at a Landrover specialist. It has never caused us much trouble, little bits and pieces, one of the diffs locked up a few years back and had to be replaced. We obviously don't use it much goes out towing the grinder or when we have to cross a park. They do age well. first two pictures were taken in 2012 last one this morning..

I recently had some guys do some training at our yard using our MEWP and its how we do first aid training. It works well and simpler then having to send guys off site. I need to put at least 1 member of staff through stump grinder training. We could do the training from our Yard in Draycott, DE72 3NX we have a room that could be used for a classroom, 2 grinders a HB20 and a bandit 2150 that we could use and we can find some stumps onsite. We could also come to an arrangement where you bring others to site to run the training using our facilities and grinders. I also need someone to be assessed for the chainsaw maintenance and cross cutting so interested if there are any independent assessors who might be up to do that. While I think about it need some street works training too. If this something you could help with give me a call? 07970325361. [email protected]

Export them all to eastern Europe and Africa.

We have a big grinder, but the narrow access machine is probably used more often. Bandit are not doing the hb20 any more.

Thinking about changing our old HB20. What is out there, what is good these days.

My initial question was half in jest and my standard answer is "sorry, everything has to go through the books." I was just starting some discussion to break up the day.. As a medium sized firm with three teams out, I probably have more clients than many so probably get asked the question more. I find it interesting that so many respectable people are happy to ask me to break the law to save them a few quid.

I probably agree, I have always been more subtle.. But they are asking meto break the law and it would be me in the can not them.. just annoying..

It annoys me the number of customers, wealthy and respectable who ask me to break the law and take cash payments.. Is this to harsh a reply? Unfortunately we have to pay VAT. Intentional evasion of VAT is a criminal offence under section 72(1) of the Value Added Tax Act 1994. It is a serious offence carrying a possible prison sentence of 7 years. Charges can also be brought under the Fraud Act 2006.

MAN HX 60 4X4 - ONLY 220Km - Absolutely Pristine - MOT and UK registered WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Ready to build on for expedition, overland, adventure vehicle. Flatbed with Right hand drive. Kept by the UK MILITARY in dry storage with only the test and inspection mileage (220 Km)... I can't believe I paid similar for a 3.5ton Nissan cabstar...

It had not been parked there long, theres no oil stain under it..

Prince Philip designed his own Land Rover hearse to carry his coffin METRO.CO.UK Buckingham Palace has released the full details of Prince Philip's funeral.

This is one of the stupid unintended consequences of the 20 percent legislation. In an attempt to reduce pollution we end up with people burning tyres to dry wood..🤯

Anyone done or recommend a decent course, I want to put one of our team through something useful.

Nearly anyone who has worked rail side. I think they were the standard utility cutters chipper for a decade. We have an old one and it's a decent machine.

So far, so good. It certainly makes planning teams easier having another sub 750 machine.

Why though.. what is you advice if there is a moisture defficit?

Just remove the tree, it will outgrow it's location, it has reverted to type, it's too close to the house and I doubt it has anything to do the damsge. Spending £1000's getting all those reports would be a complete waste if time.. It's a crappy 25 year old Acer. Next to a shoddy falling down conservatory. What are you going to do if the tree is causing subsidence? Fell it and fix the problem. What are you going to do if the report say it might cause heave? Fell it and fix the problem or keep the tree and hope it never dies?

They supplied us this a few weeks back..

Should not really be a surprise as the gm1928 is a bigger chipper then the forst 6. The forst 8 models would be comparable to the gm1928..
