  1. Thanks guys very much appreciated.
  2. hi people im doing the manchester marathon this year in memory of my dad and another friend who died from leaukimea. the charity is leaukimea research and the link is Michael Cotterill is fundraising for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research i think you can even pay by paypal too. please give what you can, many thanks mike
  3. I might know a guy who can do a set of 8 and a plate for about 70 quid. He's in Manchester tho
  4. Yep they have a height restriction, I tried last year and they said 5m I think!
  5. Bit if a word of warning some Velcro straps have a ring that you double back on means you get them really tight, but the ones I've got at the moment don't they dong get as tight. If I was buying some I'd be sure to get the ring ones
  6. It'll lift 500 kg it's got a little 12v winch on it that lowers the hook, but you cant alter the arm while it's got a load on........yet!
  7. Had rob in on a job today. He's a sound bloke and good worker.
  8. I used to do 100 mile a day in it, used to have to fill up every day, used to get loads of morrisons points though!
  9. There's was one at the apf the other year. Chipper and small chip box on back of a 90
  10. Thing is you either get a tow along and a tipper or something like my set up. As I didn't want the costs etc of another vehicle I did it this way. Plus you can carry more legally than a transit. Not sure I'd have this set up if I worked for myself fulltime as it can be a pain having 4" plus pieces that can't be chipped.
  11. It's going out tomos so I'll get a pic of the new set up.
  12. The Jo beau is about 120-150kg think it'll do about 3". I've got a little crane on the trailer now to lift it on and off. Yeah just use some ply sheets, wouldn't mind the mesh but it's not cheap. Here's a pic of my old trailer it was 12' but got the 14' now and leave a space at the front of the trailer for the chipper.
  13. Used to drive the 90 as everyday vehicle until recently, came in handy more than once.
  14. A run a v8 90 and a 14' ifor when I'm doin my own jobs, have a Jo beau, chip onto the trailer then put the Jo on too.
  15. Is it me or have they got there units the wrong way round?? 328 feet and100m
  16. Odd how it starts, even though there's no starter on it?
  17. Yep if only everything in life was this easy. Out of interest the manual doesn't have the flymo name on it it has husky on it? Are flymo owned by electrolux too?
  18. Wouldn't buy either of those. Too cheap spend a bit on locks. Lincmaster do good stuff but very pricey failing that purpleline, bulldog or some milenco stuff is good
  19. Sorted now put fresh fuel in and it went first time, it's the first time I've ever had a problem with old fuel.
  20. Fuels getting in there cos after I'd given up trying I took the plug out and it was wet. I'll try some new fuel. It's an odd mower there's no throttle either. Cheers guys
  21. Haha. Yeah the thing is I sold it on eBay and now it won't start- typical!!
  22. If it's done half an hours work I'd be surprised
  23. Yeah it's a sprint. With the rectangular tank. I've read they can be an ass to start.
