  1. Yamazaki.... On a school night... With good news like that I guess it's acceptable, congrats.
  2. Fair do's, I'll take your word for it
  3. EBay, amazing what you can get delivered these days ;-)
  4. Only ever had bother with the 10" version clogging with very long wispy willow or if the blades were dull or blade anvil gap was set too large to make bigger chip for footpaths, crane fed it lots to and apart from ripping the whole hopper off once by opening the grab too much inside and lifting at same time we never had any problems with it.
  5. http://www.masonwoodchippers.com/P64%20FARMI%20STOCK%20BIG%20PAGE.html This would probably be ideal for you, I've used the bigger farmi lots and found it a very capable chipper and not too heavy. The 45degree feed is an advantage as requires less hp to drive so the Alpine will have no bother chipping up to 6" with it.
  6. Found some at Thorpe perrow arboretum as well and some colorful maples, battery died before I could take many more pictures :-(
  7. Nothing like working with the boss to encourage a bit of improvement in performance ;-)
  8. Yep and shocked at how many of that lot ain't cut out for it or got a clue it actually involves hard work!
  9. Good for you and your crew, shame 1 is dragging there heals as it let's the rest down.
  10. Tree clearing on a Sunday, you must be busy Ian.
  11. Ongoing problem with the well it ain't mine so I don't care mentality of some towards machines with some lads, I had 1 and he didn't stop long!!
  12. Was definitely a few who suited the costume more than normal clothing ;-) Just short of braking the record at the end of the day but if everyone who had come during the day dressed up had stayed the record would have been smashed, shame.
  13. I'd be having words with the lads about a bit of equipment respect, I know stuff sometimes happens but can often be avoided with a little thought. The 360 has tidied up well!
  14. Well today being Halloween we headed off to Alnwick gardens to take part in a most people dressed as witches in 1 place world record attempt, needed over 1600, not sure on the final number but was surreal walking about with so many people dressed up. The Mrs was in her elements and kids had a blast. Anybody else get up to anything.
  15. No worries, as long as you cover the overdraft fee's I'll pm them over to you 😜
  16. That's what I thought, think they will be getting a phone call on Monday asking what they are thinking
  17. What's the position on a company holding all my card details on file? Today's scenario, called to pay a bill and gave the details for my business credit card to pay the £600 bill, 10 min later I get a call back to say the payment failed as she'd written the details down wrong but not to worry she'd used my other card details to take the payment....... Didnt dawn on me at the time but it's nearly a year since the last time I had to pay them anything and gave the normal card details but they still had everything on file Inc security number on back. Is this legal??
  18. Got 4 of these on top of other landy and 2 on front a bar on rb https://www.ledlightsforsale.co.uk/all-products/Work%20Driving%20Lighting/Individual%20Lights/18-watt-cree-square-led-light.html
  19. Put these on front of cherrypicker and they are like turning the sun back on at night! Expensive but fantastic! https://www.ledlightsforsale.co.uk/all-products/Work%20Driving%20Lighting/Individual%20Lights/90-watt-oem-quality-square-drivingwork-light.html?page=2
  20. As long as they have cree led's in them they shouldn't be bad Jon, just really depends what you want to spend. Utv products have a good range all good quality and at a competitive price.
  21. I've started been quite blunt with domestic customers now when they say at the end of the job, send me an invoice and I'll post you a cheque, my response.... I'll save you the bother, write me 1 now and I'll send you a invoice and confirmation of payment when I get time, it'll save you finding a stamp. Commercial jobs now get a reminder 2 days before it's overdue to what was agreed before starting work and any job that involves a group of people like parish councils are offered a 10% reduction if payed within 5 days which normally works. In most cases I'd add ed 10% onto the quote just to be able to take it off again 😜
  22. Your absolute correct, won't matter what machine you have, how well it's built, what it cost what the dealer back up is..... If you don't service it properly and when it's due it won't last as long as it should and that go's for everything! They have maintenance scheduled for a reason and the cost of a filter compared to a 20k+ machine is nowt.
  23. Near Piercebridge I think Ian.
  24. Replaced it at 21hrs like the book said, hydraulic filters aren't expensive but worth changing to keep the system clear of contamination from the manufacturing of the machine.
