HB20 took 150euros in 30min this afternoon. Yellow Lemon is with Carlton/Bandit for the West of France and continues to fox the experts as to the root cause of the problem/s. We have now been loaned a 30hp petrol 4012 until the fault is diagnosed and fixed. Ty

I wish I'd bought a second HB20 instead of that yellow lemon. It's a good earner in the right hands. Ty

I grind bamboo then mattock out the rhizomes and use a fork to sift through for any living parts. Ty

Sick? SICK? Oh Martin, grammar PLEASE! Ty:001_rolleyes:

We have to replace our stolen Atlas tipper and so are looking at importing an Ifor tipper. The models are available with either 12 or 13 size wheels. My question for the panel of wisemen is this... What are the advantages of larger wheels over the smaller. Regards Ty

1st bearing drowned last Winter chipping wet coni week after week plus it was kept outdoors. The dealer had broken the grease feed tube by forcing grease in too hard, I know this from the different colour of the grease. By the time we had tried to fix it, the bearing was on it's way out at 350hrs. 550euros the dealer charged us and after only 150hrs of use bearing 2 went pop. This time, possible over greasing blowing the seal out but more like a faulty bearing race collapsing. No corrosion present unlike the last time. Bearing 3 replaced at 500hours by us with Peter Pie Eater in 2.5hrs + 1.5hrs trying to work out how to do it and phone time to Mac and Jason at G.M. Only the flywheel end bearing has the problems. It wasn't hard to do really and quite fun. Ty

We have commercial payment issues yes but only delays not terminal non-payers. The very worst are the British second home owners who will do all they can to wriggle out of or delay payment. Latest non-payer was yesterday "Oh my wife has the cheque book"... One non-payer of almost 3k has complained that his hedge is not perfectly square as per the examples on our web site and so will not pay until made so even though he was told repeatedly beforehand that the hedge needs to be felled. Another has emailed to say that until he can inspect the work he will not pay. Unfortunately due to family reasons he cannot visit this year and the work was back in March! Commercial i eventual money in the bank but the expat money I fear may represent a possible loss. Ty

Running 2 vehicles in your case makes no sense however good on fuel it may be. People are not generally keen to buy sign written vehicles so consider removing your publicity and giving it a polish. You'll be a step closer to your goal. Ty

In Germany, Caddies are very popular and available in AWD and a host of colours and trims. Second hand there is a good choice too. Out of my budget sadly, so I bought a Kangoo, incredibly boring to drive but on a good offer. Economical too at 5litres for 100km against the Caddy 7litres for 100km. Ty

Although locally, word gets around that you can afford to let a vehicle stand all day cos you've got nothing on... Also... If you have a vehicle in your business that you can leave hanging around then that is capital tied up not earning whilst all the time costing. Capital better off being a chipper. Ty

Slow uptake in France so I am reading, however... If our work was more 'city' based then perhaps it could be of some benefit. Urban people are more likely to be in a rush and equipped to scan a code for an offer or address etc. Still...as we have a prominent road side position, no harm in having a giant flash code made up and measure the response as we measure all other enquiries. I shall ask our publicity company what they think. Ty

I know you are darling, I know you are... x:001_wub: Ty

I'm sure Adam would be happy to have a client, any client at all... Sorry, couldn't resist! Ty

Ha! I know that place out in the sticks. Used to cycle past him in Warnford every Wednesday out training then sprint up Old Winchester Hill. I'm running a Honda Pro Hydrostatic machine which is bloody excellent but we need a second as contracts are in the air... Ty

Any thoughts on this interesting machine...? Toro 20975 TimeMaster Twin Cut Lawnmower Cheers! Ty

But not at this price! P.O.S - Tondeuse à gazon Outils WOLF RT53KS Ty:confused1: It had better be good...

You must have bought from the people who sold me my Carlton 4012... I've always found the guys at G.M outstanding in their technical aftersales advice and speed of parts delivery even though Peter Parts STILL can't get his head around our address... Ty

It looks like a GSCE engineering project. How old is it? It looks like its on a turntable, very high table too. Ty

The machine was working when it was loaded onto the truck in Sussex. When it came to be unloaded it was not working. The fault is intermittent and the supplier very possibly knew this as they got my delivery man to sign a paper 'Sold as seen' instead of their 28day guarantee. A sly slight of hand... Contract was with me as the companies representative NOT with the employee collecting the machine. We have an excellent rapport with all the companies we deal with EXCEPT this one supplier. There is no logical reason on earth why they should behave this way towards a client and as a result I am not taking this lying down. I am having the machine repaired at my cost and will continue to earn money from it but the issue of our maltreatment at the hands of the supplier remains unresolved and subject to further proceedings. I'm sure NONE of you would roll over easily if you felt you had been ripped off unless I have misjudged you... Ty

The machine was faulty from delivery. We couldn't get it started and it remained stuck on the truck for hours We tried to call the salesman at the suppliers out of hours but no reply. It was not sold as seen but under a miserably short guarantee of 28days which first they tried to wriggle out of before back peddling. It was supplied with an intermittent fault. I did not buy a machine which 'went pop' It had clearly gone 'pop' before hand... Ty

Any tree after which the client evades paying... Ty

Oh, I quoted the wrong post sorry... Ty
