How do you get 165HP without a turbo?
-
Oh dear, off road or on?
-
Do they make trailers of this type?
-
If people are reasonable a £200 job is better handled personally, but as its gone bad that may be the way to go:thumbdown: Why do some people these days always look for a chance to cash in
-
Which return are you using? a direct return to the tank may help or as mentioned previously is the switch block working correctly.

Good stuff as ever Reg!!! I have the very same attitude to you when it comes customers, its not just about the money, its about standing by your word and delivering what you sold them at the quote. Pays dividends long term, IME
-
IMO, yes

That does sound excessive!, but then it is a very large and unusual bearing, as its on the outside of the cutting wheel (well at least I think it much be) if the oil flow is kept correct I would have thought they will have a long life? I hope so anyway, as I have just bought a Bilke.

Damn right! A MUST READ.

I "assumed" nothing, I was simply giving an opinion. I'm not "precious" I guess I'm just fortunate to have plenty of work for people who don't expect me to act as their overdraft -
I smell a bit of a rat, the guy is ill, better to go out with a protest than simply to accept his mortality

Am I right in thinking that in Northern Ireland the tariff is not tiered ? So unlike England, there is no limit to the revenue that can be generated?
-
Absolutely!!!! But unfortunately many seem unable to "listen" to any machine and then wonder why it breaks down

The Norcar does look very compact, which is an important consideration when carrying multiple plant on one trailer.

I have found heavy reductions to be very good at rejuvenating sad looking Yew's, not done one that looked quite as bad as this, but if it had been done when the TO recommended who knows.

You have missed my point entirely I was not comparing the 90day terms with forestry terms. I was highlighting the difficulty in getting solidarity within any industry. The government guidelines are that small firms should be payed with 30 days (may even be 28 I don't recall) I note that these firms generally expect us to abide by HSE "guidelines":sneaky2: You may be happy to wait 90days, but I have known firms go bust in less time, so I'll pass -

I totally agree with the article, but fear that unfortunately you will never get solidarity within the industry, some will hold firm for a while maybe, others will simply accept the current terms and take more work. There is a huge construction company near me who's payment term are 90days, I and others refuse to work them, but they don't struggle to get contractors. -
Yes!! You can bet he doesn't pay the repair bills!!
-
Yes .

I enjoy watching your mechanically empathetic driving style, I would happily let you drive any of my kit!!

Good job the chain brake worked!!!

That has to be one of the most ignorant and useless posts I've ever read. Often the tree is not weighted where it needs to fall, often I use a pulling line, but there are many, many occasions when our FL is just the ticket and speeds things up greatly. We literally never leave the yard without it.
-
Bare in mind that the Werner on ebay will include VAT, so £2500+VAT, if that makes any difference.
-
Also, you really need to move both hands as far back as possible, you are strangling it (thats how my joiner dad used to describe my use of a hammer as a child, holding it too near the head)
-
Too sort, IMO. I have 4ft one, excellent for felling and rolling butts.
