  1. No 3.5t is "suitable" for tree work! Will it do it? Yes.
  2. I'm with you Mr Git, love the forst but if I was going bigger it would have to be a bandit I think.
  3. I would say a lot of plant gets shipped out the country and small tools just get sold on places like gum tree and ebay oh and car boot sales and the like, one reason I gave stopped buying second hand tools unless I know the person, saying that I just pretty much buy new now.
  4. I would agree ti most of the thefts of tools and plant is organised career criminals not junkies with habits oh and caravan dwellers.
  5. You are the very small minority though Ti.
  6. No but if you got run over by said trailer you could be disabled!
  7. That disk is bandits idea of a 750kg chipper!
  8. Spoke to fr jones about it, advised to re set auto tune si will try that on Monday, really hope it does the trick.
  9. I ain't using it at all as it's pretty much useless!
  10. I have 2 200t that I keep running but love the husky, my 201 won't cut at any where near bar lenth and bogs down v easily.
  11. Don't bank on it! 261's have well known faults my 2 yrs old 540t has been faultless and the 201tcm I have just bought Is terrable.
  12. Nice buy Mick, you will enjoy using that!.
  13. Interesting Dean! Predator do the set up i mentioned, makes a machine more viable imo.
  14. I have both the 201 Is gutless compared to my 540 that's fact, I actually wanted the 201 to be better but would happily swap it for a 540t, even my 2 guys agree and there stihl men.
  15. I got a 201 tcm 2 weeks ago, gutless compared to my 540t.
  16. Like the tracked grinder Dean. Could you run a small mulching head off it if you swapped the dozer off?
  17. Really? What hit it an artic lorry?
  18. I guess you don't really have build quality issues Dean! Have you a pic of the bandit 750k machine ?
  19. That ain't built like a tank lol jensens had some chassis problems. Look at the chassis on a gm , tw230 etc and tell me that will be ok in10 yrs.
  20. Owner operated is a different matter Jonny, its amazing how people look after things they have paid for where as alot of lads just beast things cos its not there's,
  21. No because there like trigger's broom, people spend money on keeping them going, you can't have 750kg and built like a tank.
  22. They do Ben, the whole machine is a comprise, there a 3 to 5 year machine.
  23. That looks a good honest basic machine.
