  1. Looks like an emerging ganoderma. Tree is goosed.
  2. It's probably a non professional user warranty. If the hobbyist homeowner buys one it will probably sit in their garage for 4 years and 50 weeks of those 5 years of warranty. They will probably forget they have it long before then!
  3. Hey guys Got a fair size job come in that wants sorting sharpish. Two trees to come out one is a conifer that fell in half yesterday. Bit of a long story on the situation on the tree owner. I have got the go ahead to get this conifer and another tree out. Want to get as much done in one day so will bring in a few guys. My regular groundy with chipper is in available so need someone with a chipper please! There is a possibility that this could run into a second day but it might be just a bit of tidying so wouldn't need everyone. Please contact me with day rates through pm or call/text 07841128366. Payment sorted on the day. Cheers!
  4. How long are you getting out of a tank? I seem to be 1.5/2hrs depending on use
  5. Been taking a chestnut out with mine today. Cutting 11/12" on some bits and it has a good go and eventually gets through. It's certainly livening up with some use. Would rather use that than a 200.
  6. Couldn't see that on tapatalk. I know now anyway.
  7. Where are you based?
  8. The facial expression tickles me every time. Good find
  9. Get a Southdown with a filter stuck on top
  10. Depends entirely on condition. At a push £650-700if its in top nick. Have a look on eBay to get an idea for values
  11. our last company had a fleet of 30 of these bikes, they were run hard every day and they took a lot of stick, carrying 200ltr of water when full plus a big bloke and all the spraying kit mounted on the bike. They are good bikes and very simple mechanically. even if you get both and have one as a parts donor. you wouldnt go far wrong.
  12. Best repaint my truck then!
  13. Didn't know if they were a shop though? They are in Stockport aren't they?
  14. I love the 660. I found adding a dual port exhaust (find on the magnum/R versions) makes a big difference on the 36" bar. Which also makes a difference on the 25" it's usually sat on.
  15. They need one of these
  16. Very good. Chunky boots. Great in spikes. Bit less nimble than the airstreams but I find I can spend full days on my feet and come home and it feels like I've been in slippers all day. The super bright red eventually dulls so you don't stand out as much. I managed to stumble while wearing spikes and put one through my right boot. Just pierced it. Gutted. They still only just let water in from that though. Otherwise I've stood in ankle deep and been dry. Was clearing up in a stream and didn't get wet feet.
  17. I thought that once. Then I bought the zermatts
  18. I think sky land equipment are closest in Liverpool
  19. Discos are nice. Got one myself Mate was selling a 200tdi defender but it was spoken for and I'd prefer a 300tdi as its what I'm familiar with. I often have to travel off road for jobs so a transit isn't suited. A 4x4 tipper ticks more boxes for me. Even though the capacity is a bit less.
  20. That's my ideal setup. Landy tipper and disco to cart a log trailer. Currently half way there. Got the disco. Can't afford a defender just yet so a Navarro is filling the gap for now.
  21. We have a winner 20 bales with a bit of room left
  22. Johnny walker is looking for a guy
  23. Moved a bit of straw today. Who can guess how many bales are in there? Whoever gets it gets 10 street cred points.
  24. I did try to find tartan paint but was struggling to source any
  25. I agree Having the saw standard makes it another saw. Painting it makes it MY saw! Nothing wrong with customising what you own! So I don't see why it rubbed people the wrong way. It's only a bit of bloody paint!
