  1. Avant 420 is too small better with older 520
  2. Without the vac unit it gets messy especially on footpaths with people near
  3. 1.5 tonne digger is a lot slower makes more mess, is unstable as a lifting/ carrying machine and lifts far less. a 950 kg avant will lift at a push and not round corners 750kgs
  4. Quercucs palustris would make a good single and grow quickly , I would plant a stand of alnus glutinosa for shelter
  5. What about more than one tree in a group

  14. Try cormidi 1200 /1500
  15. £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
  16. 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
  17. 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

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
  20. I would invest in a made to measure tarp and get a canopy better vision less weight and no glass to break
  21. Top up the fluids give it a clean and polish and sell it too much metal
