  1. Wrong chain,too little water,too much pressure, usually can sharpen chain by puttting sharp sand in the cut, should have cut more
  2. I don’t rate any of the stihl diamond chainsaw products, made cheaply in Israel so I’m told, the diamond is suspect and the bonding agent very general not very good at cutting anything but cuts most materials, use mine to cut concrete slabs but make sure the chain doesn’t touch sub base or soil. I much prefer the hydraulic saws more hassle but far better results and the ability to go to a 20 inch bar
  3. Don’t buy the stihl chain it’s cheaply made and doesn’t last
  4. Yes but I’m 300 miles from home
  5. That’s the problem landrover has one,transit doesn’t landrover to Newcastle ouch transit slightly more comfortable and secure
  6. The defender only requires a tacho if over 3500kgs so how do they know when I’ve had a trailer on the back, so collect digger with trailer drop of on site leave trailer with digger go to builders (no tacho required) return to site , go to shop no tacho remove digger from site on trailer need tacho mileage won’t add up !
  7. I have tacho in landrover but landrover Essex to Newcastle!!!! if it’s delivered given the estate it won’t be complete if I leave it overnight on site hire company won’t do drop and collect same day two days in row
  8. So should I follow the advice from a man at vosa put tacho When I collect digger and throw away at end of each trip with trailer on
  9. I was under the impression when working direct to utilities tachometer were optional and you can use a book
  10. Medium pressure only about nine bar and very thick plastic hence small digger
  11. The digger is being used on a housing estate to investigate a mediium pressure gas pipeline so can i claim exemption under utilities?
  12. That’s my take on it, I was seeking other opinions
  13. When I have been pulled before they ask where I started my journey, how do they know where the vehicles base is ? The log book can be registered anywhere
  14. If I start driving in Essex and finish in Newcastle upon Tyne , next day collect a 1.5 tonne mini and trailer from Travis Perkins and drive to site approx 4 miles should I use a tachograph?

    Fungus

    Got a problem with a oak gate post, Last two years a very mushroomy smelling fungus has grown inside the photo cell unit shorting the circuit board each time, any suggestions as to a fungicide to help, it grows out of the hole drilled trough the post for the wire.
  16. I sent a ms200/020/160/husky/echo in a brown/white/coloured cardboard plastic box via dpd/post office/hermes please total rebuild and port with new chains and bars and return
  17. Use a wheel and tyre dug into a trench with a slot running out to the stump you will pull many tonnes the deeper the trench the more you pull
  18. It’s a jcb thing helps keep front wheels down he who has most buckets wins
  19. Hard enough to stop the tyre coming off the rim, they self clean better at lower pressures same here three cleats on ground,
  20. You still need a nvq to get the NPors ticket that matches the cpcs
  21. Can’t beat a bull mastiff
  22. Made this for my avant shunts trailers lifts one tonne sacks and pulls stumps
  23. I had battery tools put this way, if I go to a customers house and ask for £5.00 for fuel they tell me to jog on!! If I go and ask to plug my battery charger in I’ve never been refused!!
  24. Tried a sprung rake on avant made more mess to tidy up, got snow broom tidys grass well as long as it’s dry
  25. Digital motors have no windings they use magnets so removing the heating element, they are generators in reverse if they are spun without power they create electricity, the best are single phase running as three phase. They do however require a board to run simply wiring up to the current won’t work they just stay still.
