Plenty on eBay fairly cheap, bear in mind you will need a signal for it to dial you and in a steel container it can be a bit hit and miss

On pins and bushes over greasing wont make any difference, on bearings it depends if there purge or sealed, if there purge then grease until you see grease come out hence the name, over greasing sealed bearings is where to much is bad! Pete, I'm all dewalt its a lot cheaper than it used to be and more than adequate,

But the wages will be even worse when you have to pour coin into a shed!

Buying a 4x4 for that money is buying a money pit imo finance more and get something remotely reliable it will cost less in the long run!

Fir the simple reason it wouldn’t! No matter what the law allows you to run human nature and the nature of the job will always win through!

Great read in the latest ISA Arborist news, all about anchor selection and the skill used to select them, better training is the answer and less muppets in the industry, the whole training system needs to except that not every bum on a seat will make a good arborist and start failing those that won’t, this will have other affects as there will be less people flooding the market, higher skilled people will command better wages and climbing safety will rise! Just my opinion and probably not work much .

I found out with 2 machines on a good few occasions! Bandits don’t seem to have the same problems strangely enough !
-
So let me get this straight, you have just paid out say 15k on a machine but don’t want to pay 250 quid for one of the most important bits of the machine! I doubt your warranty would be honoured is damage was caused by blade failure from non gen blades!
-
So you’ve just bought a brand new chipper and going to get some made? Why not just buy genuine blades from forst? One thing I wouldn’t use is patten knives! Forst back up is fantastic, but you will need it!

in 10 yrs time with 85 ECU's it wont be worth having !
-
I think there ok but that's about it, too many electronics as per normal LR, 85 ECU's that's 84 to many, prices wont hold like the old ones that's for sure look at a 10 year old D4 compared to new there cheap, my 2012 110 hard top is still worth 12k with 120k on the clock! Long term I think LR has had its day, they had 3 years to get it right and IMO done ok but not great. Reliability will be its downfall, my 110 has been superbly reliable but then again there not a lot to go wrong unlike the modern LR stuff.
