  1. Would you trust a Chinese mewp????
  2. Renewed my cscs supervisors ticket in feb had discussion on this very problem ,apparently all of us employers should be providing welfare facilities on site,what ever the duration of the job, and employers includes those who have self employed subbies, the rams should be written to include the provision of facilities, even if it’s get in truck go to local public loo
  3. Put up a vid of it working interested to see how it performs
  4. Ad was 10 years ago saws probably on scrap heap now
  5. Had avant flail old style retrofitted hammers pulled all the lugs off the rotor, better converting a hedgeflail head if you want to cut timber go for bidirectional flail cutters will then cut grass etc as well
  6. I have a Omar flail half the price of avant just as good, Klou make some good flails with the motors matched to machine flow and pressures well worth talking to them
  7. Hope you didn’t crease or mark the pages!!!!
  8. Martin beano and daily sport don’t count
  9. Let’s have some examples please
  10. If you are not excavating follow doobin get a mini loader
  11. If placed at 45 degrees to the truck cab I can get three builders bags on
  12. My 130 derfender would easily take two bags bed is 2.4 metres, depending on size maybe three
  13. Do you get cupholder with the new bobcat loaders
  14. I ran turf pattern tyres for one set great for turf laying and working in the dry as soon as a bit of moisture appeared they spun. Trying to carry large roll turf up slight slope just sat and spun, couldn’t drive in a straight line on slope with bucket of soil , very soft side walls, sliced and gouged by stones, but didn’t mark lawns at all and wore out very quickly on tarmac and concrete found the industrial pattern much better and lasted a lot longer , still have turf set just in case though and bar grip ag pattern just for muddy jobs put on set on forwards and one on backwards
  15. Turf tyres are soft not always suited to loader work, depends what you do they also have no traction in the wet, I run ag and industrial pattern neither cut up badly, traction do suffer from punctures more but in mud they are the only one that work ask yourself why a part used set of tyres are up for sale
  16. Diggers are cheap and easy to hire , it’s a dive to the bottom with price, try hiring a mini loader, far more skill needed to operate so not so available
