  1. Put your rates up - the work you lose will be the work you don’t want/need anyway.
  2. This is the first I’ve heard of their being any choice in the adblue world tbh Pete - it sounds to me like Ford are being ridiculous!
  3. What are the different grades of adblue Pete? Do Ford have their own?
  4. Sounds fine, send him your bank details and as many passwords as you can remember (don’t want to miss the sale, and don’t forget the customer is always right).
  5. It’ll stand the Agrotron up pivoting around the ground anchors!.. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xIIjKb_Ib70
  6. Ex-military hydraulic Rotzler - great bit of kit but slow. No good from a production point of view and dragging the cable out soon gets boring, but just the job when you really really need to pull something heavy!!!
  7. Went with the Tajfun, really pleased with it, very nicely thought out piece of kit. Thanks for the recommendations gents, much appreciated! 832E8D26-B672-4849-B9CE-8C69DC491090.MOV
  8. Good value site, that’s for sure. Great find!
  9. Only 4.5 tonne - OP needs 12 tonne plus to be safe.
  10. I think a heat-sink radiator needs to be fitted as directly above the stove as possible (ie upstairs) to allow it to do its thing and circulate/cool down potentially boiling water in the event of a power failure stopping a circulation pump from working. But I might be wrong.
  11. I now realise that I saw you on the opposite side of the dual-carriageway at 3.30ish Pete, by the Mere exit... I was rushing to pick the kids up so couldn’t stop unfortunately.
  12. No idea I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with their current lineup.
    Brilliant setup - loads of space, great access. If Carlsberg made tip sites...
  13. At a Rototilt dealers!... Only joking - best bet is to contact the various suppliers and see if they know of anything available. And keep an eye on Mascus. You are as well getting your head around what it is you want before jumping in, even to a second hand unit. There will potentially be installation costs (often pretty significant), you’ll possibly need to adapt your existing buckets etc etc.
  14. I had an old Makita 7900 (my first ‘big’ saw, did a lot of work with it, was a fantastic bit of kit) and that didn’t have a poofter switch either. You had to commit to starting it, let it know who’s boss or it would be a bit of a pig when cold...
  15. Super soaker filled with roundup would be my guess...
  16. That was quick - are you sure it isn’t just winter?!...
  17. Stick an irrigation system in. A mate of mine (who has zero technical aptitude) installed one all around his pub to water the baskets and planters every day. If he can do it it must be a piece of cake!
  18. I think the Ruiz loss will make him better altogether tbh - he’s unlikely to underestimate an opponent again anyway! He had to win last night and did so convincingly - people slate him but I reckon AJ is the best out there personally.
  19. Would it be an idea to pave upto your boundary and use pots/planters etc instead?
  20. My advice would be to steer well clear of a second hand Teupen. When they work they are amazing machines, but they are ridiculously complicated and the UK service agents are beyond terrible. All they want to do is service new machines - show them anything out of warranty and they can’t be bothered unless you throw tens of thousands at them. I would never consider anything Teupen again on the back of my experiences tbh. Remember that no mewp will do everything, and whatever you buy will end up being too small/big etc for certain jobs. Stick with hiring whenever you need one may be a better option?. (The 20m cabstar mounted mewps look a decent buy though - that’s what I would look at if ever in the market again). Outreach is more important than working height in tree work too in my experience.
  21. That’s the best idea I’ve heard re. this situation yet!
  22. Same sort of thing, mine looks different to that though.
