  2. I have driven a avant with over 3000 hrs good use ex hire machine, was very tired and in need of a lot of work to bring it back to a reasonable std ,I have a 520 with 2100 hrs on clock engine is good, hydraulics require adjusting,bearings need replacing in arms and centre pivot I am on third seat and second coat of paint and shortly will need fourth set of tyres, have looked at a new machine but for less than a thousand I can fix it up and get hopefully another 1000 to 1500 hrs
  3. Don't the cat has the power but the tracks have no sprocket so the drive can spin in the rubber track nowhere near as good as a track shovel or dozer
  4. No it's a great crested newt
  5. I bought an avant loader rather than a mini digger, small diggers are cheap to hire and are usually fairly new it's more difficult to hire a mini loader I have my own grapple to fit to a hired digger with mounts for 1.5 and three tonne,the avant is easier to move and with a good operator is far more versatile than the mini
  6. Try deepdale, 01767 262636,
  7. If he says no newts accept it and carry on
  8. Don't forget to have a good fence on either side
  9. I have a box grader, to pull all the tines through topsoil we use a 70 hp tractor,to pull up compacted hardcore we use a d6 bulldozer and this struggles if too deep, the box is too light in construction for anything but soil. Try digging the potholes deeper then back filling with well compacted granular road platings on ahot day this usually works
  10. Goindustrydove bid have some more british waterways choppers etc auctioning this month
  11. 16.8 tonne
  12. It will depend on the type of construction brick, block, timber or mobile caravan! £1000/m should build in brick with labour depending on style and finish.
  13. Have 2001 130 235.000 miles with one gear box ,
  14. Will this have to be collected in person? Or will they mail it?
  15. I have decided to sell my grinder, it's all complete and in running order with the rayco trailer. However the paint work is quite rough,am I better of to sell it as it is or have it painted and replace the decals, do you think i would cover the costs involved?
  16. I have had dual mass flywheels replaced on my transit and landrover, the transit did 130000 miles after fitting towing a 2.5 tonne digger with no problems previous to this I was replacing starter motors and fly wheels regularly. The landrover was done last week it's more noisy in neutral now but the flywheel can't wear out
  17. Only if it has fluffy dice in the windscreen otherwise final warning
  18. Yes any shot must stay within the boundary of the property over which you have permission to shoot put yourself in the neighbours position would you want shot raining down on your land , could lead to allsorts of legal problems.
  19. Had one on demo in June only in 240 volts so aimed at DIY difficult to use on site.
  20. I would not use excavator buckets are too small try tracked loading shovel or large wheeled use chain trencher to trim the roots on either side if possible also cut into sections we used 50mm steel sheet to under cut the root plates also consider heavy thinning of the top Place into prepared trench with irrigation we used porous pipe either side . We moved 220 m for MOD with 85% success
  21. Sand was a non compacting sand single size grains straight onto soil laid by hand following decompaction
  22. We placed system down for root protection in a car park, light use cells were 200mm deep with 100 mm sand beneath
  23. Free to licenced tip if you haul with no help required to unload
  24. Seven hundred hours chipping trees on a island that resembles arctic waste ! Most definately scam
  25. Paslode Im 350, fragile, expensive to buy, expensive to run, only got half a head on the nail Stanley bostich far superior cheaper to buy nails half price or less works in the cold, mud and in the rain excellent parts back up just needs oiling unlike paslode which needs taking apart to clean each week. Air is quicker, lighter and more powerful also true 100mm nail
