  1. What is the benefit to using a battery saw ? Surely if you need to use it that much or continuously petrol is the way to go
  2. Risk and method statement for works
  3. You can get shafts made for acute angles we had one made for our alpine I think it was a double cardan.
  4. I have a Cormidi loader totally different machine, looked at a kanga but didn’t have lift or flow required and on demo it got stuck where our avant on wheels didnt !
  5. Try the micro bull depending on which size you are after
  6. So what is the estimate that it weighs given the dimensions?
  7. Does running a generator to charge the battery to run the saw make life difficult? just use a petrol saw far easier to carry
  8. I have a man with a lathe and mill can make anything, provided you have one to copy or a drawing
  9. 4 mine was more than a mini but twice as useful loader, tractor, and two different skips, but all dumpers are undervalued
  10. Trouble with greedy boards they wear out the undercarriage quick
  11. I think the dumper works twice as hard as a digger so why buy cheap
  12. It’s a true one tonne dumper I reckon not a bad price decent undercarrage are not cheap
  13. Wood from the local farmer more metal than timber in some cases not even worth being paid to take away
  14. dumper

    Fencing cost

    If you are doing domestic fences think hard about an auger and check your insurances you WILL hit services and that is costly
  15. Not a bad place to work but in the middle of nowhere you need transport to get there not easy running a vehicle on £18000
  16. Take a drive in one we are never buying a transit again admittedly they are not cheap
  17. My hot works insurance cost me £450 per year no bottles in buildings other than own workshop, not more than one bottle of each gas on site, fire watch each time used, BOC training 1 day every three years. My policy has been running for 17 years and your are right if I change the insurance will be very difficult to get tried changing couple years back premiums were horrific nearly £2000 just for hot works, this includes angle grinders
  18. Have a look at MAN they tow 3.5 tonnes and good weight carry plus 4x4. If needed
  19. I have both propane and acetylene gear, grandson lives in the states works for the navy been telling me about oxy petrol, reckons it’s cheaper and better will cut through air gaps and standard nozzle will do 100mm thick also easy to move just oxy bottle and gallon can of petrol seems to be used in Australia, China and USA
  20. Acetylene can explode if you drop the cylinder
  21. It’s in the states shipping no problem
  22. You can cut up to 300 MM thick which is Lance territory
  23. That was my next question as it seems not to work with ethanol mixtures
  24. If you have ever had an acetylene bottle on site it’s far more scary
  25. Got to cut some pipe up anyone used oxy/petrol cutting gear looks good but if it is why don’t more people use it?
