Van broken into eastern green Coventry
dumper replied to Dawsons Groundcare's topic in Stolen Equipment
They really wanted what’s inside given the sign writing and all the locks on the doors were you telling them how valuable the contents of the van are/were? i wonder how much business is generated by sign writing the vans as opposed to losses from theft is sign writing really worth it? -
I run a transit a ford ranger and a defender 130 all reliable if you follow the service schedule if like some you just let it develop you will get trouble there is more to go wrong with a Landy do you really need a tipper the extra weight of the gear isa down side my Landy has air helpers in the back a must have if you want a reasonable ride I do 100 miles a night with a fully laden gritter with no problems just don’t think you are driving formula one!

Grass cutting with a front loader is not cost effective to much horsepower doing nothing decks are too small and the speed of cut is slow, 25hp loader cutting 1.5m or 40 up tractor cutting 3.6 faster

Use any flail you want just expect large bills for damage.the risk out weighs the benefits use a digger and bucket and heap to burn bury or take away or hand cut

It's with taking the time to match the machine to the work you do the savings in expensive labour are vast and should easily pay for any machine you buy

We all go on about chainsaw protective clothing worn for the accident you might have,Little is said about ear protection for the damage that will happen however good you are with a saw I m 53 and getting progressively more deaf the doctor says that the damage is done and I now have age realated deafness as well If only I could go back !

Most trucks will tow 3.5 tonne some do it legally, Not many will stop with that weight behind most pickup sacrifice load weight for train weight. With overun brakes a recipe for disaster. Your tow truck needs to weigh a similar amount to the trailer if not more this is basic physics This leads you to Landrover 130(maybe)or iveco, transit and Toyota What others have I missed

Working on rubbing timber on docks mostly greenheart and robina for kiddy play areas -
Avant/ multione loaders out lift skidsteers of the same size less damage to lawns and drives better in the mud unless the skidsteer has tracks, I have both the wheeled loader is the one used most and the first choice

SDS Drill vs standard cordless for drilling wood gateposts
dumper replied to Matthew Storrs's topic in General chat
I drill a lot of timber, much far harder than oak sds drill slip and if the bit gets stuck it stays there We use 18 v Bosch brushless last drill got to 30 months old before cooking Bosch repaired under warranty For large holes use proper slo speed drills for timber metabo make a good one the stihl bt 45 great drill and works in the cold unlike batteries -
AA have just recovered my landie 130 with 16 ft beaver tail and 2.5 tonnes of tractor took two trucks no questions
-
Cautious I'm going to bid it right up just letting them think they have a bite
-
If your buying spares and attachments from avant you are being charged top prices I make most of my own attachments
-
Why not get both down on demo and try them your self avant have always been priced high beat then up for a deal I don't think there is much between them apart from colour
