  1. I take every one who works for me plus my landlord and a few commercial clients out for a Christmas meal every year. Only fair, if there good too me im good too them. Oh and I take 3 guys too a show ever year all expenses paid. I must be soft.
  2. Can you not just rob the blade off another pencil sharper for a tw ?
  3. I dont but if there wrong or fail for what ever reason its not down to me on such a critical item.
  4. In fairness to tw alot is down to how there looked after, they do chip well no doubt and you seem to look after your kit so yes I can see why you like them. Im yearning for a bandit 75 dont know why though !!!!!
  5. Correct as long as were both happy that's all that matters.
  6. I do the same with my gm blades, have 5 sets and send 4 away at a time costs nowt really for a proper job.
  7. Good machine jensens. Forst look good as well.
  8. Timberwolf tell you too change the bearings every 250 HRS for god sake, no other leading manufacturer uses choco bearings and ally fan blades that snap off I have never changed a bearing or chipped a fan blade on any of my machines. 500 hrs is crap for an industrial machine bearing, timberwolf do this as it brings a lot of work for there dealers......fact as one even told me at the aa show !!!!! I have used plenty and would never own one. New 250 I would happly buy..
  9. Probably because its 150 quids worth of kit as opposed to 10k worth of grinder. I couldn't bothered as re grinds are so cheap these days .
  10. Peter is right, it helps me cut out a lot of bull on a regular basis. I have always done mine dead easy , print all the h and s stuff out send it for assessment job done, never failed yet.
  11. But the 150 is poorly built with weak bearings and fan blades and a very basic spec but there cheap I guess. The new 240 is a better machine all together.
  12. Been chas 3 years and yes it helps, dont think you will get loads if work from it ad you wont but it cuts a lot of crap out of tenders and commercial works. As for the firm doing it trll em to poke it
  13. Why get a tinny wolf if in the north? Dont get a tinny wolf full stop. Used greenmech, good psrts back up v helpfull factory and british, I have two and rate them . If weight is no issue get a bandit. Unbreakable.
  14. That's a grand more just too have a swivel.......seems alot extra.
  15. Wonder where it came from Dean? ???? I thought it was a great idea as soon as I saw it. All bandit machines are well built.
  16. It comes with multi tip from landforce aswell. how much is a pred 350? landforce laski is 2.5k +vat with multi tip.
  17. Go too Hardmet landforce they bring laski in and will be cheaper than pred, all pred do is paint em yellow and charge more .
  18. Yeah I know whst you meen mate, we use our little one a fair bit on domestic conny jobs, does make life easier having a small machine as well.
  19. Looks good that, wonder how much?

    Stihl ms261

    I have a 261 and its crap, 346 550 xp are far better to use.
  21. Utter rubbish, single rear wheels carry the load just as well, its the suspension that takes the load. Trannys are the worst of the lot.
  22. Up too you but I have been there and I hate old knackerd machines. Your a business and business needs investment to go forward. If a machine cost you 200 a month thsts 50 quid a week to have a good vital bit of kit. Peanuts in reality.
