  1. Gold is a supervisors card some sites require a supervisor if you have more than a couple of chaps working, and it looks better than a green one
  2. I have a gold fence erectors card been using it for site clearance for last 10 plus years the sites don’t care as long as you have a card they don’t even read them just want the number on the card
  3. Liss card covers tree work I get away with a std cscs labourers card usually they just want a card
  4. Is this as good as a dedicated grinder?
  5. My auger will bore through Tarmac I just found the lack of control and vision plus the amount of weight required meant that a dedicated grinder was far better. avant and some others used to do a stump grinder with its own engine for the front a better idea for a low powered loader
  6. Tried one on my loader didn’t wasn’t impressed not enough push down far quicker with grinder was difficult to get whole stump kept slipping of
  7. Have you seen the size of the puff adders hide in the debris under the trees and wait to be trodden on
  8. In South Africa I would be more worried by the black mamba it likes to climb trees and is fast
  9. Adders do like a old tip must be the rodents
  10. I work on a site that has the highest concentration of adders in southern Britain on the right sunny day a brief walk in the right place you will see a dozen, the old boys on site say that they are rare now compared to the 60/70s
  11. 4 in 1 on a 360 I’m not seeing that it’s any use, surely better to have a hydraulic thumb,
  12. Let’s keep it that way
  13. Google mantis ulv there are others
  14. Has anyone tried the hot water/foam based sprayers
  15. When you look at the volume of material going through,the abuse they take and still work and the size of the throat to take material without having to trim,they are heavy enough not to shake themselves to bits and they last. I believe parts although not cheap work out as value for money. You also have a machine that is slow to depreciate.
  16. I’ve got a bandit spares are not cheap but I very rarely buy any they are built like tanks,filters hoses and parts for the engine are easy to get and not expensive
  17. Why not ? Go on go for it
  18. Becoming a arb contractor
  19. Thatcher also use hazel
  20. Found a 900 MM long ish point for a Kango breaker any one interested
  21. best low vibration hydraulic breakers are by Stanley but they are very heavy to lug a Around compared to a electric plus you pay for the fuel customer usually supplies electric free
  22. You can get chisels and points for your kango up to 1m long plenty for most post holes
  23. Racked dumpers weigh heavy compared to a tractortracks are narrow and lack the cleats required for traction
  24. Or dig a deep hole and bury a lorry wheel and tyre then back fill with a trench in the direction of pull.
  25. Are you serious!!!!!! Not a good idea
