    Hello Peter, coincidentally i have contacted them- booked in to do a course in Sept. So i asked Andrew and they could have had an inspector check it with their kits today. But i was gonna be pushed for time to get it there for today. He was helpful but kept his cards close to his chest and did not pass the fella's name/contact details. Business is business i suppose...I did contact another inspector but nothing came of that. Possibly might send it to FR Jones but price be 4 times what i did pay for 2 kits up here...?thanks anyway. I might ask Morton again...?

    I have heard it's best to reduce it over a number of years- possibly in 2 or 3 goes if heave is a risk. It might need an expert who charges alot to tell you this or not...

    I was looking on here a few years ago and seem to remember a facility/database for recording your machines on for insurance purposes- did this exist?.If so, is it now the Arbsafe site? Also, do insurance companies accept this as proof you owned the gear in event of theft? Reason being, some of my saws are 20+ years old and invoices long gone. Thanks

    Yes, he is now part of the globalistic takeover. Good opportunity for someone to do Lolers in the area. Money for old rope- maybe there is not much to be made...

    Mr Philpott is no longer self employed.

    Hello, does anyone have any recommendations for tree surgeons in or nr. Ossett. Too far for me. Its to reduce a Cherry i think, overhanging from neighbours. Looks about 40 ft.. Thanks

    As in - 2 businesses ?

    I have done that exact thing this week. Having to provide estimates for future wages and proportion of landscape maintenance work against tree work is a ball ache.

    I thought that was maybe so. I have a small Atco push for some small lawns where i need to carry the machine over steps. It collects better than my Toros and the Izy( which i retired due to its poor performance) .

    Snapper NX-90V Lawnmower Petrol 21n 53cm Cut WWW.CHEAPMOWERS.COM This sounds good on paper but who knows. The best allround mower i have used is the Toro 21 inch Heavy Duty - mine is a Hayter one but same thing more or less. Mates with Honda pros have had gearbox problems. I personally would not buy another Honda- Izy push used to be good. Later models had plastic bushes instead of ball bearings. Absolute crap.

    Stiga, Atco and Mountfield are part of the GGP group i think. The twinclip machines are supposed to be good, but i have not seen a review. One thing with Toro mowers is most are quick! Many manufacturers don't state speed which usually means they are slow.
  19. richyrich
    A lad that used one said had bother with belts etc. Reviews say they clog up with clippings etc. The pro model turfmaster has same kawasaki engine as 21 inch Heavy Duty Toro- even a bit lacking torque for that i would say. I do rate Toros highly but they are not perfect...yet to find that mower!
  20. richyrich
    I've not heard good reviews of Timemaster. Toro 21 inch Heavy Duty i have had for years. Great machine but not in the wet. Best wet collect was AS Motor mower, but avoid them- belt bust from a fault. Expensive and disposable- over engineered and too complex to take apart and reassemble- for me.Thinking of getting a snapper NX 90...

    Great thank you. I will get new ones. Found on www.diyspareparts.com . i previously filled tank to clean it. Think i used ethanol but can't remember(old age). Pretty certain its the vent now, but to further the problem i had put new bar on thats holes didn't line up with oiler channel. Done very slight mod with angle grinder to make channel for oil. ?Thanks all for info.

    Thanks, i checked the worm drive out after watching a Youtube vid , hoping that would be it, but it was as good as new. Thanks?
  23. richyrich
    The saws been out of action for a couple of years. I took the plug out last time i tried to sort the issue. Can the 'valve' be prised out or pushed from inside..? Thanks. I use veg oil which prob not helped.
  24. richyrich
    I think it will be that so will check over weekend. Thanks. Any idea how to replace if compressor won't clear it??
  25. richyrich
    I will give that a go?
