Disappointed that isn’t your starter word mate…

Lincmaster make some good gear - I adapted one of their hitch locks after an attempt was made to cut it off. Just don’t walk into it in the dark….

You passed me at around 1630 this afternoon - you were heading towards/past Reaseheath College in the direction of the M6, I was sat in a traffic jam on my motorbike!

Yes, I’d say so. We’ve had an incredibly wet winter and the soil will have fully re-wetted since your tree removals so any potential for heave possibly caused by said removals will have already occurred.

Whatever your structural engineer specifies! The tree’s legacy is unlikely to have any relevance.

The Husky battery kit is made of cheese - I’ll definitely not replace any of ours with more of the same. It is the least reliable ‘professional’ gear I’ve ever encountered.

Mulcher?

I’d tell your insurers now and just explain you were hoping not to claim but there is more damage than first realised. There won’t be a time issue and the fact that the other party agreed to pay your damage shows they accept liability for the collision.

Just use whatever is cheapest - it all does the same job. We used 10/40 engine oil at one stage as I could bulk-buy it cheaper than chain oil! Rye oils and GB oils are both good value if buying in bulk (a pallet at a time basically, 800l plus).

The vid is hideous - I hope the copper gets prosecuted, totally uncalled for.

Have you got plenty of oil in your tank? We had one that ran badly when the oil was low (but the oil boiler fed from the same tank still ran perfectly).

Just needs shutting down entirely, the ****************wittery is spreading across the forum like a cancer…

NFU are offering 10% off Hilux, £1000 off some D-Max, and 2 or 3% off the Ford/VW pickup. By the time you’ve paid membership it’s not worth bothering with any of these, you’d be able to negotiate as good a discount with the dealer directly. Toyota in Warrington are apparently a big fleet supplier - they offered me a pretty good discount as a straight purchase a couple of years ago. Dealers with physical stock are more likely to be open to negotiation than those who would need to order you something in.

Have you yet had to get a hose made by a third party as the required fitting wasn’t in your arsenal? I’ve contemplated getting a swager loads of times but keep blowing unusual hoses which then puts me off again!

They are a fantastic company - you will have no issues ordering from them.
