  1. The Bandit looks a good machine, trouble is it’s out classed on specs by the pred 38 both in depth and width, not sure which one would get my money.
  2. What you think of the bandit Paul?
  3. I got one in bits like Matty for a Christmas project and thought it was pretty poor however I got a G660 from the guy in Chelmsford built for a mill and it’s been great and does actually seem of better quality than the parts one.
  4. Indian bean tree. Changed my mind, it is a variation of Tulip tree
  5. So can you have them set up so you can say listen to music through your phone and push to talk with other sets or do you have them voice activated and if so do you get every moan and groan from other people?
  6. I would add extra on if a customer had started the job as nothing will be cut right and will be a rats nest of shite, also we generally only chip what we have cut for reasons stated above.
  7. Once you start getting that on the floor you will realise why it was 1300 quid! Ask yourself this, if your house needed re wiring would you be asking sparks how to do it? I guess not, why ? well because it’s dangerous if you don’t know what your doing so you would either leave it or pay for it, it’s pretty much the same thing your looking at doing but all the best with whatever you decide.
  8. Looks like it’s weeping from the timing gear cover, make sure all the bolts are nipped up first, failing that pop the timing cover off, clean both surfaces and use a new gasket or a sealant and nip back up.
  9. There nothing special, size will be on the belts and just go to your local agri place.
  10. Hope you had good money on that to be doing it with a small machine it looks painful.
  11. Probably done to BS 1945 standard!
  12. I agree Paul, there is a lack of young blood, that’s for a reason, you can earn more clicking a mouse or working in other trades where your not busting ya balls day in day out!
  13. I have been there a few times Hodge, it’s a reasonable commitment in both time and costs but the biggest part is finding the right candidate, no point in investing in a person who is just going to leave and set up on there own when college finishes or who scared of hard work 3 months into the course, not sure I would do it again, if I did I would be putting clause’s into there contact.
  14. He has taken a few people for a ride so I believe.
  15. Nice podcast mate and a lot of sense for a young guy even for an old guy like me it was a good listen and gave me some motivation. The fat scouse voice winds me up but that life!
  16. Thanks Steve, are they ptt or vox?
  17. That seem cheap, fr jones is 332 plus vat
  18. Are they push to talk or voice activation oh and where did you get em Chris? Take it you can connect to a phone and stream music and take call’s as well ?
  19. Was never keen on the twin Lombardini engine, like an old dumper and v viby, the Carlton is a good machine but its just not made for run of the mill domestics in the UK same as most of the US machines, that's where the pred scores so well.
  20. I take it there Chinese? if so think hard about it, I won't buy chinky plant ever again.
  21. Mine won't! Saying that Red is silly money at the moment. Update, Red is now 43p Lt cheaper than petrol so its coming down again.
