    hayter 56 pro

    had no problems with my 48 pro,s newest one being 3 years old now, but have heard bad reviews on the new ones
  2. i deal with prospect fencing, alresford near winchester, great guy to deal with, he will sort you out
  3. thanks everybody, i got the truck last october and had new cambelt and tensioners done before i collected it so all fine there, it was fitted with air suspension when i got it but ive changed it back to springs, that could point to prop wear i suppose, ill get my mecanic mate to have a look, if anyones interested google yb03 lua emergency vehicles, scroll to bottom of page and then go to next page, and you will see what my ranger was when new,only covered 34.000 miles in first 4 years

    pick up trucks.

    love my ranger, got milner rear springs, bit harsh when empty but carry a good load, fuel consumption is around 28 mpg,never used 4 wheel drive at all in the snow last year, seats could be better , fair bit of standard equipment,will sit on the motorway at 70/80 no problem, just my thoughts,a good part time off roader,and will do an honest days graft
  5. as above, my 2003 ranger has got clutch judder, mainly when damp in the morning, seems to get better when it has warmed up, also does it with a load on, its done 90,000 miles so does anyone think it might need a new clutch? any ideas folks, cheers mike
  6. you have made it all dirty lol, nice saw mate

  8. hi, ive got a new grass contract this year and ive been thinking about the new hayter 56 pro, anyone got/used one, read some bad reviews on the new ones, thoughts please, cheers mike
  9. used to use one a lot, great tool, on the back of a ford 6600, , but did stall the tractor with a nasty old bit of ash once tho, took some getting off the cone i can tell you

    Help

    def go for 372 xp beast of a saw
  12. nice job mate,have used the same auger on post and rail job, ground was chalk and flint, it ate through it no problem, agree with last comment about top rail etc, but then its only a temp job, so still great work
  13. new softwood sleepers
  14. go with the 350 if its only for logs etc, enough grunt for what you will need, not saying the others are no good, but reckon the 350 would suit your needs better
  15. gotta love old duane, old school, big husky felling one handed, think in the early series he had a big jonsered, love it
  16. husqvarna 266/262 both great saws
  17. no such thing as a safe chainsaw, as is there is no safe car,digger,hedge cutter etc, all need maximum respect, all will kill you if treated wrong!! or treated right!! be safe
  18. if you have priced it £45-£50 per metre you wont go far wrong
  19. i think that double spikes just put undue wear on your bar and chain, keep chain nice and sharp,should pull through wood on its own without having to "lean on the spikes" just my opinion!

    husqvarna 268

    has anyone got a picture of a 268, these were just a high filtration version of the 266 wernt they????? any info, cheers mike
  21. cut and shut guide bar lol, ingenious, well done mate
  22. 1164 was fore runner to 1174, 1164tw was the newer version and similar to 1184 but cabless, i think aimed mainly at the export sector for mine work etc, thereis a dvd you can but that explains most of the county models, some on ebay, mike
  23. did the 254 have a decompressor? maybe later models ??
  24. cheers mate, you are an absolute star, mike
