  1. That's exactly what I have done and requested a written confirmation back before starting work with quote number, value and agreement to terms mentioned also looking into having a quote exceptance page similar to enquiry page on site to make this easier
  2. Very nice What model tractor is that?
  3. Don't know if this has been posted yet.
  4. Was a little different yesterday when we went to take it down than when I priced it That's the 390xp on top of stump Today a bit easier, riding about in this
  5. Sod the t-shirt it's so cold even the dog has its coat on!
  6. Yeh it felt very strange being right to left but strangely would suit my current yard. Palax combi, another very simple machine as we only do about 100m3 a year and its all arb wast
  7. Looks a really good saw and would also really like to put it against one of my 372's and my 390 as on paper it's pushing up to that sort of performance.
  8. Top of North Yorkshire
  9. Yes had 1 about 8years ago Pros Nice simple machine Sliding table was light to use instead of rocking Easy to maintain Cons Worked the wrong way round(for me anyway) Not the strongest build quality so needed a bit of strengthening in places (new version might have sorted this) Not the strongest splitter but quick. Guards were a pain to open in a log dropped in wrong. I now have a palax which I think is better although like I said the new jappa might be a lot better than the version I had.
  10. What's your location and range? Very nice looking bit of kit you have.
  11. That's why I use all the big ugly lumps of timber I can't be arsed to do anything with stacked around the outside of my yard as a barricade to stop access across fields
  12. Looks really good with the pickup having the same colour on it. Always liked the hight adjustable draw bar they fit. Can you control the rpm off a button on the hopper on this one?
  13. Fantastic, thanks for reporting back on it, know what you mean about 2nd hand stuff sometime fetching silly money except when I'm the one selling it then it fetches nowt hardly [emoji23] You'll have to get a tech savy youngun to show you how so you can share your picks with us
  14. Glad your liking it, sounds on paper like a very sensible purchase and choice. What's it like at throwing the chip because most of the smaller machines I have used are quite "gentle" especially the tw125 we used helping a friend out struggled to fill the front of my grafter chip box.
  15. Can't trailer it as too heavy for most trailers big enough to carry it so its wagon transport.
  16. Take my landy as an example Last mot it failed as the seat belt mounts on the rear seats were badly rusted and needed to be replaced and welded in. This ment lifting off the rear body, chopping out a crossmember and welding in a new one. Garage wanted nearly a grand to do this so I drove it back to the yard and did it in less than a day myself costing little more than my time but now if the tester deemed this a major safety issue then I'd have either had to pay a lot for them to do it or arrange a large recovery truck to transport it back for me to do the work and then again to take it back even though it had no affect on me driving the vehicle safely.
  17. Sounds that way Going to be a real pain for those of us who carry out the majority of repairs ourselves, many people who would normally sort a problem themselves are just going to end up getting the garage to sort it instead of having to trailer something home which could lead to abuse by some garages saying we can't let you take your vehicle till we have fixed it, here's our overinflated bill.... Think what I'll start doing is arranging with the garage we use for us to take the vehicles in a week or so before it's due for a check over which would give us time to fix anything that's needed and I've not spotted
  18. 034 in 95 96 I think, was 2nd hand and lasted long enough to pay for a new 046 which I still have and still runs but is unbelievable on the vibes and was way to heavy for a 17 year old to use every day so got a hasky 350 which served well as a snedding saw with the sthil doing the felling.
  19. http://masonwoodchippers.com/listing/jensen-a540-woodchipper-t489/ This is a clean machine, also has a 1928 safetrack and I'm sure a 190 when I was in on Monday
  20. Not really, springs off Either take motor off the shafts or undo pipes off motor to let it lift out Undo pivot bolts from either side and it should be free to lift up, I'm lucky I have several options to lift things in our yard but two willing lads should manage it. Lining everything back up will either go perfectly smoothly or be a bitch and really annoy you. Did it twice on my machine and had both!
  21. How did you get on cleaning it out?
  22. Bit of a change, putting trees back 35 cherry's along a roadside for the town council
  23. I'd go orange, pink clashes with the grey beard
