  1. I dont know about the drills that was in reference to impact wrenches from a previous post.
  2. we load a big jenz with tree surgery rings anything that wont go through a 6 inch chipper basically and its approximately 2-3 grain bucketfulls of rings to produce a tonne of g50 chipp more if the chip gets screened to 10mm this is ldigging out of a rough pile with a jcb so not neatly stacked in bucket
  3. Look at the latest "fuel" editions theyve been released To wipe the floor with every other cordless model They even have a 3/4 drive veraion now
  4. i think its more prevalent now days to check which line up of tools suits your needs i.e. what else can you get to fit the batteries alot of people are now choosing the new milwaukee fuel line as there meant to be brilliant its where ill be going as they offer grease guns angle grinders and the most powerful impact wrench to fit the same batteries metabo also have an interesting line up
  5. here you go variety of kit Products - Roller Mowers - Trailed Roller Mowers
  6. Major grass care do what you're looking for although not sure 20hp will lift one with rollers and they will tackle any kind of material and dice it up fine or try spear head for a variety of finish cut flails
  7. there all as bad as eachother they will not want it for ages and suddenly want 5 lorys in a day this is when producing 3-4 lorry loads a week you can try boomeco and aw jenkins but the best thing is to deal with as many as possible as none of them are reliable
  8. look for a a jcb 526s brilliant machines no electrics easy to work on and tolerate huge amounts of abuse they put any of jcbs current lineup to shame * * * JCB 526 FARM SPECIAL LOADALL TELEHANDLER * * * 530 70 520 TRACTOR LOADER | eBay or scrap the manoverability and just get a shovel JCB 412 FARM MASTER 4X4 PIVOT STEER ARTIC 1993 WHEELED LOADER TELESCOPIC HANDLER | eBay
  9. or greenfields woodwaste solotions ltd in bromley br2 8ll
  10. what about this not topnotch but a bit more to come back on in the event of failiure Sealey Micrometer Torque Wrench 1/2"Sq Drive Calibrated AK624 - Motamec.com or for pro tools PrimeTools.co.uk they even have made in uk king dick tools for realistic money
  11. i should think ud need this size machine to get the stability Yanmar C10R Ride on Tracked Dumper (Track mini engine digger) | eBay which might be a disadvantage in itself on the other hand it should be capable of mounting a small forestry crane on it and towing a trailer
  12. go slowly dont even try to speed up u can learn to do a job well but its very difficult to learn to do it quick that is something that comes wih practice. i was always told with machinery when learning take your time and just get very accurate and when you get good the speed will come naturally without damaging stuff
  13. thats only the arctic types such as jcb tm range or manitou mla series sideboom 4 wheel steer are ag machines no different to a combine spfh or sprayer
  14. done it but personally i think there horrid on the road without a trailer let alone with a trailer on know someone thats knackered a 13 plate jcb transmission overloading it and forgetting to change the transmission mode besides if looking for a machine that new i would not touch jcb with a barge pole horrid useless badly engineered piles of junk. the old 526 s machines are brilliant and put up with a lot of abuse but the modern ones feel like they came out a kinda egg
  15. We are looking for some to cut up rings ready for firewood production in bromley common for odd days here and there chainsaw supplied but u will require ppe contact mick on 07789907190
  16. go for a mazda b2500 esentially a ford ranger but attract less of a premium 2nd hand
  17. U can get joiners for them as they always split on our jenz and we just cut and rejoin I dont know who makes them as jenz gave them to us
  18. Better to put choker chains around the log over the head boardand onto the chassis lift the body which will drag the logs in and close the tail gate u could do large bundles at a time then
  19. about 60 cms is great if fiskars do them if not the new husqvarna axes are nice
  20. I wouldn't want to run anything on a pto that wasn't heavy enough to snap a shear pin or activate a slip clutch if the worst where to happen personally id have some kind of bar fitted between implement and pto to garuntee the pto is not being run at the rong angle or with to little sharft crossover
  21. in a thick dorset accent 'cor look at the front weight block on that' ever since a mate from dorset said it in all seriosness also facial expresions mimicking a bull when he gets the smell of a cow
  22. as in its legal to be on uk roads doesnt exceed size or weight rules (which are the same regardless of licence) and is in a safe condition with lights and appropriate brakes
  23. if u have a car licence u can tow any legal trailer behind a tractor if you have a tractor licence it has to be either single axle or twin axle with the axles together i.e. no dolly trailers
  24. shouldnt someone on site carry a phone at all times i would rather they did than think a groundie may have to fumble around looking for it in an emergency ive just got a pair of bib and brace overalls and the mid pocket is brilliant for phones and somewhere to keep a snack too or if im in the machine or tractor its in the cup holder so i can see the screen as i cant hear it ring
  25. you need decent blokes or theyll just sell the kit off the back of the vans as some gangs do
