Hello, any opinion on the Jeep Grand Cherokee (around 2005-2008 models)? Going to be be partly used as a family wagon and partly for work use, mainly towing the heavier (2500-3500) kit. 3.0 CRD diesels look like good value. Anyone know much about them?

I misread that and expected a funny video of a digger 'trolling' another tractor...
-
I've got a Thor magik 13t petrol from Mlarge. Had it a couple of seasons now and get on well with it. I'd recommend it.
-
Only just running mine in but I love it - I was looking at the regular 37hp version but I opted to spend the extra to get the guarding and the front blade. Hopefully never need it, but I rather not have 'at least he saved £2k on guarding' on my tombstone!
-
Not a chipper but I'm sure the tracked s426 shredder I hired had a parking brake on the tracks.
-
Agreed. There a loads of small companies in the outer London Boroughs who are more than happy to come into town and competition knocks all the rates down. £550-700 would be my estimate for a 3.5t tipper and two man team and there will always be someone offering to do it cheaper. For London I'd be asking :side access or through the house, is the main entrance on up a flight of stairs, is it a red route, is it a CPZ?

Is there anywhere in particular you get US parts in the UK? I looked at a RAM 1500 but was put off on parts availability.

If its for personal use and they aren't in some kind of stately home with a dozen fireplaces is it really necessary? I have customer who use a lot of firewood but no-one uses more than a cube per week. Surely you can do that with a chainsaw and maul in an hour-ish. Buying kit to rent out is going to be extra work, insurance, higher maintenance cost, etc.

Saying 33C here in London on Wednesday.

Good to know. After some 'run ins' off road I was considering fitting some tree sliders and a bullbar/winch combo to my L200.
-
Looks awesome. Do you think you'll have any issues with the bull bars (from an MOT/'safety' perspective? I am not sure of the legality but I bet its a can of worms....
-
Looks good. Can it go on the rear? I've emailed to get a price - Do you know a rough price?

Hello all, looking for a flail mower to go on an AGT 835. I'd like to keep it roughly the width of the machine for access reasons so around 1.3-1.4metres. I'll be cutting rough grass with some woody weeds/bramble mainly. Budget of £2k inc VAT. Obviously keeping the alpines working on slopes ability as much as possible. Any recommedations?
-
What a loon! The way it was rocking around with him up a ladder right underneath it. Then he stacks in on the way down right in the drop zone. As someone said above, it is surprising more people aren't killed doing doing these kind of things. All that to save a few £££ on getting a pro in.
-
Same. They got me a policy from Aviva. Fully comp (fire, theft, damage in transit, etc). Good price for the level of cover. I have a claim for a written off bit of kit and it was handled very quickly. I'd recommend them.
-
What depth below the surrounding can you achieve with these? Would 200mm be achievable?
-
Cheers guys. Good recommendations. I have a 16amp commando socket in the workshop so gives me a some extra options.
-
Looking for an Arc welder for some basic welding. Anyone got any recommendations?
-
Not necessarily helpful to the OP but I've found in the SE you can be paying £25k an acre for the first 1-4, then from 5 onwards it seems to come down to £8-12k an acre. A ten acre plot would cost you £160k+ any day of the week. I think they only way you can realise these things is to club together 3 or 4 people looking to do the same and put in £50k each then divide up the plot.
-
Bads news. I saw a load of 'travelling folk' heading up the A23 through Croydon towards Streathamyesterday. Coincidence perhaps...
-
I know someone who imported a car inside a container from USA to Southampton and it was just under £2000 for the shipping.
-
Strimming on London housing estates you often encounter used nappies....
-
8 hours of strimming is a sh*t job. I'd definitely factor that into the price!
-
Work it out in reverse if needs be. How long will it take you to do, your price then divide it down. I don't like measured amounts as you often get stuck in the future with them expecting you to do future works at the same rate when your costs are massively different (travel time, parking issues, etc, etc).
-
Anyone still advertise in yellow pages and yell.com?

Good points. In a consumer guise I always look for a street address of the business, company details and generally a VAT number. Essentially common sense items to re-assure customers you are legit. For me a mobile phone number only rings alarm bells.
