    Look at it as a savings you only get deduction on labour not materials or hire
  2. Depends on which auger drive unit you have
  3. Wait till you are pulled by vosa then tell them it’s one of there ticket items when they can’t find anything else!
  4. Now you are in avant multione,etc land
  5. Just use the big tractor 2 tonnes is a medium telehandler
  6. Go to stihl South Africa web site you can buy 076 to 880 no problem no environmental issues posted to your door tried tested saws
  7. In winter very little rain will usually be enough and during the summer a lot but only once twice a week to encourage the roots to grow and search for water
  8. Square is much better use a toothed bucket not a grader to dig hole the worse you drive the machine the better rough un even holes are good, can you put a water tank half way up slope to reduce head.? any bit of 50mm duct or land drain will do for water pipes
  9. Any area for mulch is good the rougher you make the hole the better clean sides and 90 degree angles look good but don’t help root penetration much more than a round hole,you don’t say what the surface is,if grass then a mulch mat would stop the competion from grass then mulch on top to look good I would put a water tube round the tree halfway down the rootball depending on size they might require water during dry periods some good rotted manure well mixed into the back fill will help, then look after them more trees die from neglect after planting than from being planted wrong
  10. Will be ok if you use toe tip bucket, we load with std grain bucket and can tip over side but bucket dips into body of lorry so needs bit of thought to get full load.
  11. Log pixie raiding log hibernacular?
  12. Every thing you say is correct but to be reliant on a dealers fitter they don’t always turn up and usually can’t fix in one visit, warranty mmmmmm! Bad experiences there! new machines equal plastic and electrics neither are durable I think that the correct course is whatever works for you
  13. But it’s your machine and you have done the work a great sense of satisfaction, and benefit if you intend to keep the machine new machines with adblue sensors and computers just won’t last I can see where he is coming from
  14. What about cash other way?

    Pool advice

    No pool is budget cheap to buy expensive to run , expensive to buy very expensive to run
  16. Landrover defender cubby box ! WTF are you doing answering your phone up a tree!, No call can be that important or you could leave it with your groundy to screen your calls
  17. Large hammer and gas axe always works
  18. They do work but better as part of a programme of measures got them in the grain store still see occasional rats, also work with teenagers!
  19. Almost certainly a valve in spool block ,seal maybe, how old is chipper ? Question is why has seal gone is something else about to let go and metal splinters contaminated oil ? Or are your seals old and worn
  20. Try USA dealers my labourer bought boots of the shelf at size 14
  21. Yes you need to offer the cuttings back to the owner of the trees ,you can’t just throw them back( it’s fly tipping if you do)
  22. Can’t see what the fuss is about many large stihl saws can be bought from around the world ,try looking on stihl South African web site even got saws with no chain brakes, indonesia and South America are the same. Few emails a card payment and the saw will be with you in less than a week (air mail)
  23. My guess is worn seals in ram or scored ram letting oil by under pressure can you try another ram .?
  24. Does any one on here do logs near Rugby/ lighthorne?
