  1. You can cut up to 300 MM thick which is Lance territory
  2. That was my next question as it seems not to work with ethanol mixtures
  3. If you have ever had an acetylene bottle on site it’s far more scary
  4. 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?
  5. For the cost of the filter we just replace and carry spare total piece of mind commercial saws take a pasting, 12 months is a old saw
  6. An indication of size might help Cotoneaster?
  7. Show us the end grain
  8. Careful with bucket geometry Vermeer buckets angle forward on the rear plate to give the crowd if the back is straight you will lose capacity
  9. It can be, you are overloaded when you sit in it!!!!
  10. We use it to patch roads in a one hit repair it is dot spec try it I was sceptical about it it seems to work make sure you use joint paint between new and old and compact it well then do some more the more care you take the better it looks try to get a nice clean vertical edge ,we use 3mm size with a 10 MM deep edge compact with a flat punner on small areas and Whacker plate on larger areas cut back to good tarmac/ ashphalt give the surface a good sweep before using any cleaners and make sure none are left before patching

  12. Look at viafix pothole repair you lay it with water we use it on level crossing immediate repairs and not hot
  13. What size do you get machine flow or the flow in the drain pipe?
  14. Should it not also have a positive connection to the steering ie steel and not rely on hydraulic pipes
  15. Looks like cab frame distorted means tops/fops no longer valid
  16. I asked about this and was told the valve would be in permanent float unless the leaver was pulled or pushed to operate the valve,
  17. Hydraulic rotation or not. It depends on what you are doing and how good you are on the machine, The bmg on a boom is good for loading the chipper if it’s got rotation but very poor if you are skidding or dragging logs out, however it can only carry the log horizontal so making the machine with load either wide or long, if you use a Klou style grab you can also carry the log vertically good in confined space and you can also grab standing trees shrubs and posts etc these are manual rotation with a locking pin, with hydraulic rotation when you break a pipe you have a mess to clean up.a good operator should be able to nudge the grab into the right position without hydraulics, plus you will also need to have two services to the head stock or a electric switched valve and wire something else to catch, snag or go wrong, mini loaders pick up far less than you want them to so the closer to the machine the grab the more you pick up, personally I like the Klou grab but your machine your choice.
  18. Just a thought, a man can never have too many tractors or chainsaws. push the boat out and buy two it’s great to have a spare!!!Grammar
  19. For me there is nothing like a real book on the shelf
  20. I think you should let it all out no good keeping it in
  21. There is a phrase. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. All logs burn
  22. To get so you can double red traffic lights you need to apply for a open notice to work in the road or verge no open notice or not complying with notice conditions is a big fine and big cash cow for the local highways department’s
  23. If you don’t tell them the fine gets horrendous
  24. Thought it was cheap if the tree is dangerous why are you not dealing with it today ? get another prize for your TM
  25. which road are you closing just finished working there tonight’s who doing your tm?
