  1. Josh, good find but it's only outside cos it broke down:lol:
  2. It's a special one for those gay hedges in Kent:lol:
  3. There a good basic chipper and will run for years , i nearly got one a few years back.Bloody good engine aswell. As peteb said i would do the upgrade to hse spec, it will give you piece of mind but will be better when you come to sell it.
  4. The boxer is basically the same as the citroen relay/Fiat ducatto, there all built the same just badged different. I have the 2.8t 125hp relay jonny aqnd its been and still is spot on, yes the FWD can be a pain at times but 95% of the time its spot on. the same year and spec tranny was 2.5K more so i was more than willing to put up with FWD. Will have anothere one when its time to change.
  5. had a look at the bc160 and quadchip at the apf, seen both running and i would stick with the green one, can't fault my greenmech220. The bc160 almost shook itself to bits when they put it into and out of gear.
  6. Well put mate, you learn something everyday and it just goes to show why a good dealer is important,
  7. I thought you had to hold cs39 to be able to buy a topper justin, correct me if im wrong Or is it only recomendation? If a member of the public walked in off the street and asked for a 200T is it ok for you to sell him one?
  8. Good one Dean, that was a top job, bet it wouldnt of been on here if it had taken the greenhouses out though!
  9. Yep, that looks knackered to me, pot and piston time or ebay as a "not sure whats wrong with it" saw:sneaky2:
  10. Whats gone on Stevo? did'nt think it had been different to any othere weekend! who's been bitching then, is it that Lofthouse bloke or that Stockbridge fella? let me know and i'l sort it for ya.
  11. you got it right.
  12. NFU here with truck and plant etc, good prices but not impressed with the claims system, got my truck broken into over the new year and still waiting for it back! they use small garages and it has taken nearly a month to fit some locks........will be moving next year.
  13. Adding VAT will dent the domestic side deffo, were all the same really, we all use garages and EXPECT to pay VAT but come to tradesmen we all try and get round it. strange world.
  14. No such thing as a safe chainsaw, only a safe chainsaw user.
  15. So is going over 70mph!
  16. That will be weighed in by now, its been nicked for scrap IMO its over £200 a ton up here if you go to the right places!
  17. What do ya reccon it cost you to build? or did you have the stuuf around anyway. those convayors aint cheap to buy.
  18. I thought that Rupe! If they have saved you more than once i think you need to have a look at your work practices. No not all public are muppets but the vast majority havnt got a clue on how to use one or look after a saw, i mean most of the gen public think you can cut soil, stone and concrete with a chainsaw!!!
  19. Am i Bear Grylls?...........................errrrr no more like Beef grylls:lol:
  20. had a few Jon, 205d 306d turbo. brilliant engines, far better than modern HDI imo.
  21. Do you pay travel money justin? oh and how much discount on saws do i get?
  22. £70 cube mixed here
