  1. Just had a belt problem on my Grinder, the main cutter head drive belts slipped, i re fitted them but one seemed to be slightly longer than the other, instead of stopping in the middle of a job i tried to continue grinding, bad idea, both drive belts flew off and snapped in the process destroying the drive belt from the hydraulic motor!

    My problem is that without an owners manual i have only a few bits of belt left without any indication of numbers.

    So is anyone out there familiar with this model and can they supply me with the relevant seriel numbers for replacement belts.

    Cheers.

  2. Last Day, and ive given the facetube/twitter community a kick in the balls for the lack of response, despite repeated postings i only started to get donations today, apart from the collection box in a friends shop which enen her 10 yr old son emptied his penny jar into.

    By the way i like to call this the "Mark Chopper Reid " Tribute mo

  3. After the Storms in 05 Insurance sharks/companys would not insure unless excess of silly money where in place and even then the policys where ridiculously priced.

    A lot of people in this area have no insurance for flood, please keep that in mind, Ive been into Cockermouth (5 Miles away) this morning looks like a war zone, The clean up for many homes and shops cant be started yet.

    Thanks to all who are offering support it makes life a bit more bearable for all the displaced people.

  4. Maybe a bit insensitive here, and hope everybodys ok. Hows access problems on the roads, thinking of heading up to paddle a couple rivers that you can only do in spate. Don't want to add to the chaos though.......

    I live 5 miles from Cockermouth, and the situation is really bad. The emergency services are flat out dealing with everything, If you did come up to have fun! in the rivers you would probably get stoned by the locals, people have lost every thing for the second time, emotions are running very high here please stay put and pray that no more lives are lost in the next few days (more rain expected)

  5. Im also lucky (or not) as Shreks we bro is, my mrs is also a Midwife so there is no embarresment involved in the sex ed, My eldest daughter is 11 going on 15 and in my opinion should be aware of these facts from us here Parents and not her mates from school.

    We are only trying to do our best for our kids so they dont make mistakes in lifes choices.

    (If in doubt chase all boys from property with 066)

  6. Thats a give away at that price, you should easily make that back in a day or two grinding if you are charging correctly.

    As to not doing much grinding, just start selling that service as you quote, doesnt take long for things to start rolling.

    Or buy it and advertise on here/earborist/ebay and im sure you will turn a quick profit.

  7. Take a look in the classifieds, I have a U900 with Atlas lifting arm on the back, its a quick release set up so is interchangable with other Mog specific backs (also have a alloy sided tipping body to fit) I tow a bolstered timber trailer behind and find it really helpfull on big jobs.

    The whole set up is for sale on here at £10k worth a look! Im happy to demonstrate if required.

  8. Knowing my luck it will look ok in a couple of years time and i'll never get to go back and drop it :crying:

     

    I know exactly what you mean, except now the neighbours want there Trees "done" like that!
