  1. I think 120. Yes it's got the telescopic mast will bang in 10ft posts. It weighs in at around 400kg alltogethdr
  2. What he said. I run a p30 on a kubota stv32, perfect machine for the tractor. Wont do a gate post unless you pre drill, at least not round here it wont!
  3. Yes, I ordered a vacuum grease gun from Amazon, and it comes with a locking head which is easy to disengage and engage without damaging the nipple. I had the same problem as you. Search for g coupler on amazon
  4. Not the best time to be selling new chippers!
  5. So, by ploughing my profits into the business the last two years and paying no tax as a result, I will get nothing then?? Cheers
  6. Official word is, grass cutting is classed as non essential, soothe parish council have told me not to do it. Cricket field will now be hay meadow!
  7. I'm shutting down after today. I have a grass contract with a local council, which I could do as I'm in a tractor, if I dont do it, do I let the cricket field become a hay meadow?? All suppliers are shut down from today, so no fencing etc. If we all abide by this, then we can kick this virus into touch
  8. Where does panic buying toilet rolls come into it then?
  9. Am I the only one who thinks all this is total scaremongering, and more to the point, nothing to be worried about? I for one will not be going into lockdown, and I was told today they are bringing in the army to make sure everyone does self isolate, but who is self isolating the army?
  10. I had the single wheel cabstar , went over to twin wheels, different ball game. You don't get stuck as much, especially with limited slip diff, plus if you get a puncture on one of the wheels, you can still drive it! Handles better on the road with load on too
  11. Or just tell us on here for future reference?
  12. Does anyone know how to find out if someone, or rather land, has a felling licence for mass clearance, and how do you report it if they haven't? Asking for a friend .....
  13. Fair enough. Was going to buy one of their manual hydraulic hand pumps, but was warned off from several sources about inferior build quality
  14. Be wary as their stuff tends to be chinesium build!
  15. My local Chinese is busy, in fact there was a bit if a queue for orders the other night. I joined the back, sneezed, and loudly apologised explaining I hadn't felt right since I got back from China. The queue seemed to clear. Not sure why
  16. Some great YouTube videos of people trying to get old diggers running that have sat for years. Currently in the middle of a guy I presume in Ireland trying to get an old digger running so he can move it to his workshop. You sometimes wonder if it's really worth it the state its in
  17. I cant begin to understand your huge knowledge base on this kind of thing, but it does make you wonder if these machines can simply go on and on for hours before they just fall to bits?
  18. High hours, but looks tidy, and a fair price
  19. ?
  20. There really needs to be an emoji for someone banging their head against a wall!
  21. Plus those Van's cannot tow 3.5 tonnes can they??
  22. Just brought a stick on vibration hour meter from Amazon which works well. I am fitting them in addition to the hard wired one to catch out people who disconnect them claiming not to have used the machines when they actually have!
  23. Having the light on on the dash is an mot failure! It's a no win situation
  24. Many congrats Steve. You have your work cut out now, many sleepless nights etc. I remember the days well!
  25. It's the clowns selling green wood saying its seasoned that's the problem, and even with a licence in place to sell wood, there will still be those who sell without. Same as the waste carriers licence, spraying licence and the running of red diesel in tractors not for agric use. No enforecement ever done, so why will people do it?
