Yikes, that's a lot! be the same for all the machines using that engine though. makes my diesel Carlton look cheap on fuel.
-
what's the opinions between the SG40 and the pred 38, there about the same price but the pred grinds deeper and has vari tracks and is narrower and the RX pred now comes with a dozer blade as standard.
-
Forestry, agriculture, fisheries and horticulture are exempt, Arb comes under horticulture so no need to swap, I won’t be unless the price doesn’t come down then I might as-well run white and not have to store it.
-
So if the refresher bull has been dropped does that mean us oldies can do the one day ROLO health and safety course (bullshit) and apply for a blue skill Cscs card?
-
I would never just take the customers word for it, it’s so easy check these days and if you want a shit reputation and a battle with the council crack on, if not tell him to do one.

Anyone used these? Husky battery extending hedge trimmer 520iHT4
Ian C replied to TreeAbility's topic in General chat
Yep and there brilliant! -
Each to there own really, I’m not a massive fan of Green teeth, yes the teeth are good but if you get a bit giddy and just do that bit too much you shag the pocket and nut making the tooth a twat to get off.
-
Can’t stand em, 60 days? Sod that couldn’t do 5 mins with em .
-
I wouldn’t be doing that stump with a little machine to start with, need a bigger machine at it.
-
I would go with coil, non genuine aren’t that expensive and easy to fit.
-
Sg40 and pred 38 are both 18k plus vat, I’m also looking at a tracked machine
-
Ain’t known as Grimdales for nowt !
-
400plus vat is 480 so it’s going to be the same price?
-
I use an American hand pump Mike, not cheap but brilliant, wish I’d got one years ago, wouldn’t use leccy pump due to possibility of sparks/ fumes, chain oil just stick to 20lt drums, I have had 200lt drums and they always seem to be so thick and snotty there almost unporable in winter and I end up letting them down with diesel.
-
Personally I would pass this on to an ecologist and the cost to the customer simple as that, no way I would put myself in the firing line.

Silver might not be too bad, I was gold for 5 years at £700 a year, like dobbin said, there are ways round it when it suits them! one of my commercial client went to Gold this year and I binned it last year, told them I aint bothered as there shit payers and want everything on the cheap, if your going to get some accreditation go for something like CHAS, SMAS or safe contractor, they will cover a much better and broader spectrum.
-
At what level have they asked you to join at? At basic level it’s easy enough, various bits of paper and documentation to email off, at gold level which is what most what it’s a lot more involved with signed policy documents needed for a load of stuff, basically unless you do a lot of work for them and good payers I wouldn’t bother.
-
I like the GB bars from Rob D there not as silly priced as the Jap stuff look good and are a quality bar.

Good job that wall is there, a table is supposed to have four legs! Doh -
What second hand small stump grinder to buy with £3000
Ian C replied to essexjack's topic in General chat
I won’t do “ through the house” jobs , simply more hassle than its worth , as for a little grinder I find it makes more money than our big machine on domestic stuff due to tight assess down sides of houses and tiny gates. -
That’s cheap, a good team will do far more than you and to a better standard, I would be way more than that!
-
That’s because yours cave man! Put them in a vice clean out the torx head and use the right torx bit like mark had mentioned and they do come out, the Velcro straps are a different level and so much more comfortable that the straps.
-
And what are they asking for to do what you can do in a day?
-
How do you know you have one? Or am I just a fat bastard?
