  1. Had a good few saws over the years but I have a real soft spot for my 262xp. Bought it a month before my son was born and he is 25 now. God knows how much I've cut with it but I replaced the piston and pot a couple of years ago and haven't managed to get it to fire since so it's been left in a box in bits since then.

  2. I attended the same type of demo run by FC at Falkland Estate and have to say I was less than impressed. OK they had 4 machines "working " in a forest setting but how you can ever make any of these machines pay in that setting is beyond me. You seem to have had more toys to look at.

  3. Hey people I've been looking for 4 rubber gym mats to put on shed/greenhouse roofs etc when working. Been online looking for them but they are all silly money when you factor in the shipping costs (around £300) :-/.

    Just wondering if anyone on here has used this kind of thing instead of boards and if you use them anyone know where to get them from? (on the cheep).

    I've phoned round some indoor climbing walls and some gyms but no luck as yet.

    Was looking for some 6x4ft 1" thick kind of thing, give or take.

    If anyone has any ideas or thoughts it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance people. :-)

     

    Stokbord could be the answer. 2.4 x 1.2m x 6mm about £26 & 9mm about £35 +VAT

  4. Hi everyone, just wondering if any one on here can suggest a good timber yard/fencing supplier in or around the Tunbridge Wells area?

     

    I've got 30m of feather edge to do and need to try to work out if it is easier (cheaper) to cart everything I need from Cardiff, or buy the materials closer to the job. It currently costs me around £20 per metre for 6' feather edge, with 4'' posts with a 6'' gravel board and 3'' x 2'' rails, as well as postcrete and fixings.

     

    Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

     

    If you are still looking for a supplier try McVeigh Parker at Headcorn,

    Tel: 01622 891095. Free Deliveries for orders over £250.

  5. Hello

     

     

    I'm in a need for a course Lantra stump grinding ticket

    kind of Now ?? :confused1:

     

    Any suggestions? been in contact with Barony Campus

    and I got the impression one could be sent over to my place

    due to I have the machine already.

     

    I was to be honest quite sure a ticket was needed if

    competence is high.

     

    But to get this 5 million insurance for my company I need to have

    this ticket. So the faster the better.

    Now is better..

     

    Thanks

     

    Give QTS a call, just up the road from you. They may have a course running.

  6. The Silky will never die in my opinion.Silent cutting for sensitive areas...uncompromised quality and superior cutting. Cut and hold (my favourite Arb discipline) can not be beaten as far as safety is concerned.....i even came across a bunch of my absolute favourite blades today at Gustharts....Finest SK4 Carbon steel....

     

    I have to agree with your choice of blade, I loved using it.:thumbup:

  7. The only posts that last in the ground here are a sleeper or telegraph pole. All the supposed guaranteed posts have been changed on numerous occasions while these have thirty plus years on them and still good. UC4 may well be ok, time will tell.

    I have to agree, sleepers and telegraph poles are good but volume supplies are again the problem. Guarantees are problematic and you are better saying "desired service life". We do sell very good creo posts which will last the test of time.
