  8. my ranger only 28 mpg at best with at tyres and driving with slippers on,vauxhall brava/isuzu low pressure diesels are kind on fuel but will not win races at the lights,but they are workhorses not race horses
  9. old school rules ok, 254/262/266, now you can put awesome in the same sentance with these old bad boys:thumbup1::thumbup1:
  10. me too, can get by with those basic tools eh, but nice to have nail guns etc:thumbup1:
  11. i would love to add one of those to my tool kit
  12. dont forget your string line,spirit level,chain/hand saw etc, and make yourself a plywood compartment box with carry handle for all your nails,staples etc, as time goes on you will end up with loads of useful bits and pieces cluttering up your toolbox lol
  13. havent tried the blades out yet, still waiting for my bill, but was 709.00 before my dealer discount
  14. Hope this allowed,thought i do a little review on my latest purchase. As title Good points Good balance and weight good power 45cc,quick acceleration Decomp button,primer and chunky choke switch Auto return stop switch Bad bits Harness takes a lot of fiddling to get it comfortable and in right working position Tap and go head is pants,needs the S 11 head for serious work. Grass guard is a bit cumbersome. I have put about 12 hours on this brushcutter and find it a very capable machine, and once you have set the harness up properly , it is very comfortable to use and have good control over the machine. Blasts through the tough stuff with no problems but tap head tends to snag the ground if you try to get a neat finish on lower grass, the guard does its job well but i find it a bit to big, just my opinion. Nice quiet machine with plenty of power. Hope this helps if anybody is thinking about buying one Cheers Mike
  15. everybody gets the pee taken when they are starting out, the golden rivet was my first pee take when i was 16, then used it on younger lads when i was older,along with the long weight (wait) by the workshop, and sparks for the grinder etc, just a laugh, nothing more
