  1. Been using a kubota kx 015-4 mini digger 1.5t The orange spanner light has come on... its done 45 hours Does it.mean service light or somethings wrong? Cheers
  2. Not at all dave
  3. Had in low box but not in diff lock I bought a 4x4 to get it right up to the job to make stuff easier.
  4. Using my l200 to tow a 1.5t digger on a trailer accross a wet field... waste of time... Had to take digger off and track along... l200 struggled but did go through field. It only has normal steel wheels on with road tyres.... Is it worth investing in some better tyres? Will they really do much? L200 so light on back end. Even had tools in back. P1$$ poor performance If its going to be rubbish its days may be numbered
  5. Apparently theyre bringing or have brought back the cs33... Great
  6. I went to hospital the other month..... I was working on a syc dismantle, felled stem, started ringing it up, hit metal! was 95% through, so stook metal wedge in and started hitting with hammer to split the ring...... Bit of the hammer chipped off and flew into my ear lobe btw ear lobes bleed like no ones business! but dont have much feeling... anyhow, got there at 8pm, got seen at 12pm, x ray shows piece of metal 5mm long 2mm wide, 2 hospital staff looked at my ear, i said just inject it, cut it and pick it out.... eventually they did.... but after digging around for ages said no we cant find it, you'll have to live with it in your ear i dont go to hospitals often try not to, so i've still got the metal in my ear which i can feel..... how hard can it be to find in something as small as an ear lobe? waste of time, hope you have a better experiance than me rich

  11. Bray on Hell of a lot on
  12. Thought i recognised the name welcome aboard harrythecat
  13. Beef up the muck grab johnny
  14. seen a few of these for sale recently... around 65.00 so don't buy the first one! that was a good runner by the way!
  15. I dont say they are the best. I do own one. It is a tool nothing more.... Its worked fine for me up to now and ive never touched anything... Just giving my findings on one i own... If i needed another 50cc saw.... not sure if i would get another or go older and get a 260 or a 254xp
  16. Dont you worry, a 2k bus will do exactly the same as a 9k bus. I first had an ldv transit turbo engine! excellent vehicle, i changed to an iveco daily crew cab tipper, good vehicle, but for practicality and working the ldv was a better truck! Anyhow, i bought ldv for 1600. ran it for a year and sold for 1450! Bought iveco for 2800 ran for 2 years sold for 2150! Both good trucks at the right money! Not many people / fleets are getting new vehicles so all the 2nd hand vehicles go up in money and are at strong money! I could still have happily ran the ldv now! Reliable, strong, plenty of bang for your buck! I spent a bit extra this time to get a newer vehicle..... but it only does the same job as the last!
  17. My grandad went out to fight in WW2, he was hit with the butt of a rifle by a german and remained nearly fully blind in one of his eyes for the rest of his life. My grandma worked in an amunition factory RIP God Bless
  18. I'll never buy another crew cab too heavy
  19. Some how knew this would come up. Deffiently not the wind, i use heavy ex army canvas tents, all tied down with straps (flat ones and some rope) flat straps look cut with snips..... as you can see a straight cut 1/2" long, thats the only depth you can get on snips before moving them up. other side of strap nice clean cut. The sheet would have got caught up on trailer or tractor and gone no where, heavy sheets
  20. Someone had been up to my yard and cut the tie straps on one of my log sheets to see what was under and knicked my sheet 50.00 sheet but its more worrying to know someones been up there!!
  21. Think mins a 2012 and runs a 15" full chisel chain. Spot on used and abused every job! Not once greased the bearing or done any maintenance to it!
  22. Still same opening.... square. Whats the point. Jensen a530 for me
