  1. Could always try Ditchwitch
  2. Import your own
  3. Try cormidi 1200 /1500
  4. £250 wk for 1.5 ton speedy/buildbase new machine fully working with warranty backup not worth owning for amount of use Tried hiring out out machine few years back with cost of insurance,delivery and getting paid for damage and breakage ,it was unbelievable where people got the machine stuck and expected me to get it out free of charge and fuel , it was always filled from a can dispite having two filters, one customer filled it with red diesel 20 yrs old having stripped the engine twice I stopped hiring letting friends use so to be able to use it myself when I wanted to If hiring must have loler inspection and full service records I would advise you to think carefully if you want a machine you can use in the future
  5. To me the front handle is worn more than the saw body too much money as you can't check it out as post only not worth the risk
  6. I have a avant I had a grinder for the front on demo, bought dedicated grinder no contest avant was cumbersome with poor control and awful visibility
  7. Apart from the driving proper trailer maintainance and servicing helps greased and tight drawbar and brakes that work on all the wheels at the same time and force
  8. Posts at 1.2 m centres 150 x 75 MM bearers at 1.2 m joists at 400mm centres running at 90 to bearers posts no smaller than 100 x 100 class four timber , better still use concrete blocks to support bearers with slate to act as damp proofing 600 MM centres on joists should only be used if deck boards are thicker than 25mm
  9. I would invest in a made to measure tarp and get a canopy better vision less weight and no glass to break
  10. Top up the fluids give it a clean and polish and sell it too much metal
  11. Speedy hire will deliver and collect tirfor anywhere in mainland uk
  12. If your not worried about weight get a bandit plenty of throw and chews through conifer
  13. Given the amount of money involved may be worth talking to specialist land agent before contacting the council, it might help you say the right story from the begining try acorus 01902625024
  14. Horses are not agriculture I would try poultry,
  15. I would try to remove some leaves by pinching off maybe 30 to 40% to reduce transpiration and balance the root damage. They should survive if kept out off full sun and wind
  16. I would use chains containers will slide given half a chance
  17. True alpine tractors are rigid Aebi ,Rasant, Reform this must be for a reason rather than that the design looks good. I have a 70 hp pivot steer with a large flail it loses stability if the tractor bends on a slope this does not happen with the two ridgids I run
  18. I run both artic and front steer alpines and never take the artic on slope work they roll far easier than front steers which tend to slide
  19. To drag it home on its own wheels or with the front lifted it will should be MOT,d insured and taxed
  20. Try arundo donax 4 m tall really fast easy to grub out
  21. Then check air filter
  22. Try unipower get dunmow very good service 01371875331
  23. Ours has lower each year and inspected for puwer each week ( when I remember)
  24. To stay away I pay all the lads food and bar bills as long as they are no larger than mine I also pay half day overtime each day we work as long as possible also Friday is half day to cover travel home
  25. A cheap solution is straw bales for the walls
