If you want quality you have too get your wallet out:001_smile:

we use multi-tip on all our grinders, absolutely awesome teeth, although they r bit pricey

spot on, what people don't see is the hidden costs, the wages, insurance bill, machinery maintenance and replacement, fuel, yard rent, etc....

just wanted to warn you that you may also want an alarm, we had 30 machines stolen last year from a strongbox, the workshop has barred windows, and our yard has 24 hour cctv, the beggars peeled open the strong box like a tin can, police said that they now use hydrolic cutters that will go through nearly anything, they also went through several reinforced padlocks to get at the strong box. don't mean to scare you, just to warn that these low-lifes are often professional, and they know exactly what they are doing.

we had a Premier which some idiot put a scaffold bar through, the blades and the bar shreeded up and came out of the spout like bomb shrapnel

We have a 130 quite similar to yours but it doesen't have some of the extra stuff on it, they are awesome bits of kit, but the thing that lets ours down is the steering lock, it turns a 3 point turn into a 30 point turn

we use an 076 all the time as a big saw, its a beast, sounds like a lorry, and cuts like a knife through butter, can get a bit heavy when your on it all day though!!

I would agree with all above, however my mate has just got a pair of stretch air gladiators and I reckon they are the best trousers out, think i'll get a pair when my hi-flex's finally die the death -
Just sent back a pair of haix with hole at bottom of tongue and got new pair, the boots were 2 months old

political party signs nailed to trees in CA's
Matt Butler replied to Charlieh's topic in General chat
im happy as long as there conservative, most annoying thing is that some poor tree man will probably hit the nail when they get cut down!! -

Hi Neil, Grahams view is take fence down and try to find a gap to winch fell into, or at least fell the tops out:001_smile:
-
can i just ask how much distance there was between you and the road?
-
don't think that i'd like to use that, looks a bit dangerous

A mate dropped ms 200t into the kennet and avon canal in mid-winter, after he dived in several times with no luck we had to revive him in the Land Rover with the heater on full bore, needless to say the saw is stilll where it fell

got to get some big willows out of a lake tomorrow, we will be using a boat, long winch cable, and a fordson super major with Cooks winch sat on the bank!
