  1. But you have got to get the machine to the stump
  2. I am going with hazel
  3. 2.4-3m trees into prepared trench at 600-900 centres mulched and irrigated trimmed twice each season will give a good hedge in 2-3 years
  4. These are a spring move to stop desiccation via wind never had much success with leylandi hedges difficult to keep upright and get in line even with tree spade Leylandi I are not expensive try some of the large tree nurseries
  5. Once a gravel board has left contact with the ground it becomes very easy to break it is not recommended to use more than two, fences taller than this use a morticed board which is far stronger with much heavier posts and far more expensive
  6. dumper

    Tree spade

    Try ruskins or pryors
  7. AA recovered my 16 ft beavertail with 2.0 tonnes of tractor on no questions, just let them know so they send correct recovery truck. RAC would not cover
  8. Don't try too hard to start it try removing heater plug or injectors and turn by hand you might get by with a short block ours went over and bent the crank shaft when it siezed
  9. Npors list avant as loading shovel cpcs skidsteer does not cover avant or multione
  10. Check oil levels gear box and correct oil in box new gaiter should fix
  11. You got decimal point in right place?
  12. Will not work on a generator
  13. Your 9inch discs are not rated for use on smaller grinders look at the max speeds on the disc
  14. Metabo and Bosch cannot fault either and back up is good which cannot be said for de Walt or makita,
  15. Ok if there is metal to weld chassis are not heavy duty had company one with rot neither of the pro welders employed would touch it so sold for breaking
  16. Remember that they think differently noise and time are your friends, and try to think out of the box make things different
  17. Use versatile in Kent for parts we can't get locally the rest I do myself or get hydraulic fitter to do I use unipower in dunmow for engine parts if kept well greased and oil changed regular don't get many problems, Check your hydraulic filters flow and return you can get a kit from avant for all the filters bit expensive but saves hassle then get local ag merchant to match, avant are expensive for parts and some you just ha to bite the bullet
  18. Yes it makes it a far more usable machine you can retro fit them, there's not a lot to them if you wanted to fabricate, check centre pivot for play and the bushes on the arms and headstock worth replacing these before too much wear.
  19. I have owned four had three on site at once the old 520 was always the first choice to be used is yours direct or chain drive to the wheels?
  20. You can get most of the parts via a hydraulic dealer even a total rebuild with new engine will be less than a new machine and the old 520 + is far superior to the new plastic 420 and 520 they lift more and are smaller, check the centre pivot this needs special tools to replace
  21. If under seat try oil cooler loose pipe or holed matrix
  22. Plant trailer or tipper if loads of attachments
  23. Try van den berk in Holland will deliver to uk. Won't be cheap but very high quality
  24. Looks nice 350 hr possible if used as yard/ home tractor no wear on loader bucket paint still on back axle and lift arms
