  1. i think day rate would be best, well it would for me, or could you work out a rate for cubic meter maybe ??
  2. Dont under charge as what looks like a smattering of leaves soon mounts up to a huge pile !
  3. Give andrew thorne a ring at prospect fencing, 01962 733990, hes in alresford,he should be able to sort you out
  4. My local "best" auto center,they promote general tyres, oponeo wanted £145 just for tyres,so a cracking deal i think
  5. i went for general grabbers in the end, 265/70/16, £114 a corner fitted, job done
  6. my misses has those on her x trail,ok for an occasional jaunt up a muddy track with the dogs etc, not a serious contender but not bad
  7. miker

    Solo 681

    solid saws, they have been in the game for many years now, probably not a screamer but more of a torquey plodder
  8. just trying to find some for my landcruiser, think im going to go with cooper at3's, always had grabbers at on my pick ups tho,good tyres on and off road, but fuel rating not good , so going to try the coopers
  9. i have an old 380, 2 x br 430 and a big tanaka 78cc, but always pick up a 430
  10. Devils foot ! old estate railing
  11. yeah, see what reaction you get, something a bit underhand going o n here i reckon
  12. Ive been in the game for many many years and this is a typical scenario, can you not get an independant quote without the neighbour knowing ? This fence should be £700/750 tops
  13. seems to me max that your mum is paying for half the retaining wall aswell !!!!!
  14. Agreed, should be half that price, £12 a post,£4 per rail, £2 per paling,concrete and nails, if you said £300 materials tops,easy days work for 2 blokes, £400 tops = £700
  15. we always plant november till march as long as the ground isnt frozen, suppliers usually start to lift plants early november
  16. used to have one, cracking saw, had a 30" on it most of the time, 36" now and again, worked great on either
  17. husky 365 is the best all rounder,tried, tested has the t shirt,will work with 15"-24"bars quite happily,a good investment imo,a good 50/55 cc saw will also tick most boxes, fr jones will do a good finance/monthly deal mike
  18. That reading is very good,less than 120 not good
  19. yeah,ticks all the boxes
  20. i would seriously consider at least 50cc + saw for cutting hardwood,as said before check out dolmar, echo are also highly recommended, an 18" bar can cut a big bit of wood but you need some cc's ! Mike
  21. Ihave an auto landcruiser, can you shift from say 2 back into d on the move ??
  22. Looking good mate:thumbup1:
  23. im going to disagree here, i cut this yew hedge every year with double sided 81 r's
  24. sorry to hear this mate, eyes and ears pealed
  25. i haven't found a glove yet that will stop pyracantha from entering a knuckle,might be worth a go
