  4. This could be what i had the other week! Did me for a few days! Started on a sunday aft... Out of both ends.... didnt finish being sick till monday 6:30 am. went back to work on a thurs.... very queasy. couldn't eat much was on a slice of toast for the day and water. Weak as a kitten Awful feeling Back to normal now.... Need to re assess diet too....
  5. Cheers Iain. Just worried about access width etc
  6. The 1625? seen a 1620 for 2800 + vat or a 1625 3800 + vat both 3 legged. are they not hard work for access and running up ramps with 3 legs?

  8. mines still not working, havent had chance to look at it for a while.... are they funny to start at times??
  9. only problem is they dont have any in stock though do they... arnt they 7k + vat? you vat registered hodge? I dont do that many stumps but have just got a lot just come in to do
  10. forgot about danequip too....
  11. Looking to get a new stump grinder. wanting to px old one or maybe sell on ebay etc? need most for my money. I would really like a hydraulic driven one, and ideally a hydraulic sweep..... but.... i like to go do the tree work and do the stumps whilst there, not do 2 visits or go in 2 motors if possible. if i went for a rayco 1625 etc it would mean trailer etc i do like the look of the predator 28 but would worry about making mess on grass with tracks etc... i think im leaning towards staying with a driven pedestrian grinder, that could be driven up the ramps into the back of the truck... also slim for access (though predator 28 is nice and narrow) I do like the multi tip system. was looking at the predator 450's or a rayco rg25 (but no multi tip ) Ideally i wouldn't like more than 5k in a grinder so second hand hydraulic or new predator 450?? Why does no one display prices on their websites?? Wheres best place to look for grinders? Any help greatly appreciated chris
  12. Are you Oly from keighley?

  17. Are you on the 10 or the 13" wheels though? Im thinking im going for 13 if i go for one.
  18. Looking at possibly getting another 750kg trailer again. MOSTLY ROAD USE Been looking at the p6e and the p7e ifor williams My old trailer was a wessex 7x4 trailer and 10" wheels Few questions.... Which tyres do you prefer? the 10" floatation rims? or the 13" ones? I remember my 10" rotation rims used to move/rock side to side a lot! I used to deliver logs on the trailer x2 BB at a time. Also for taking stump grinder to and from jobs Has anyone ever tried X2 IBC Crates? or would this kill the little trailer? Wondering if i could get away with the p6e or weather to go for the 7ft one again. Thoughts on a postcard please
  19. Anyone help little old me with the 051 dilemma?
  20. Stihl 051av giving me much greif Got the saw as non runner. Impulse pipe split, removed cylinder and some of the coating had gone a miss! Fitted new after market cylinder, stihl piston and rings, new fuel and impulse hose, new manifold and exhaust gaskets, just today fitted new carb kit. The saws a pig! Did have it running a few weeks ago would start and run, stop then restart, and was fine (ish) carb didnt feel set properly when tried cutting. Turn it off and wouldnt start again. Seems to flood a lot. Sometimes it will run for 30 secs or so then just cuts out. Got it started today (after a lot of flooding and messing about!) and it sounded very good.... then just cut out after 30 seconds or so This is the last project for me! (one that i buy in anyhow!!!!!) Anyone help? Metering arm looks set fine, carb settings as manufacturers state, seems to have a nice blue spark im in too deep without a paddle
