  1. Nice Paul, you using a rotating grab on digger or just manual grapple? Like the new chipper 😀
  2. One thing for sure is its a funny old world at the moment... has been for a couple of years. People need to cut back where possible and live within their means. It's a struggle for all on all levels I would have thought.
  3. No but if you go back hard or further you start to get gaps.....
  4. Looks crap to me... sorry to say... maybe a bit harsh as we didn't see before pic.... Syc are hard and a pain to do if going back too hard....
  5. Awesome guy he is! Makes me fancy going over America and ditching all these shite restrictive rules over here
  6. Hi Jase.... what's a bib valve please? What do you need me to measure....? Be handy if you do as need some gm spares too 😀 Many thanks Chris
  7. Tried dealers but still nowhere 2 days on. Need pics sending in. So thought I'd post them on here. Basically it's just a device where you turn the dial and that bottom needle lifts up or screws down..... Shame I couldn't get this freed up to make a top and handle for it. It's got to be a standard part as only screws into spool block
  8. Can anyone help me with this please? This is supposed to be a turn dial type valve to affect the speed of flow of hydraulic oil.... specifically the sweep speed of a grinder.... The top has gone missing on this one a long while ago but I'll attach a pic of what is should be etc.... I would think it would come as a full unit and screw directly into spool block. Any help greatly appreciated! As with all these things it's about terminology and knowing what they're called so you can search! Cheers
  9. Snapped pine at the base today resting on a small building just what I needed this afternoon lol 😆
  10. Shin up that bastard and cuddle it if necessary lol 😆
  11. Can you buy the winch tray for the safetrack machines from gm? Are they a decent beefed up thing?
  12. After trawling through pages and pages of replies, it seems the general opinion is that green teeth are the way to go 😀
  13. Just wondering what folks are running on their predator 28/38? Not ran multi tip for years and I believe they are 15 quid a tooth now? Where do people buy their multi tip teeth from? Also seen rhino teeth as an alternative. My other thought was green wheel. Larger investment for starters then cheaper teeth and 3 turns. wheels 420 ish then pockets and teeth to buy so maybe another 200 quid ish.... Also out of curiosity... what are the wheels made out of? could I get someone with a laser cutter to make me a fresh wheel up out of steel? or does it have to be hardened or some other process? Cheers
  14. Does look a fair chipper like and certainly not chipping match sticks lol 😆 wonder what lifespan is on a chipper like that when feeding big lengths etc all the time...? This is my bigger trailer. Big enough for me. Think it's 25 cube can't remember
  15. Nice trailers them. 36 cube. We have an friend that shifts chip for us with one. Like that chipper but I kept looking at it thinking if it shit the bed I'd want to be far far away from it!
  16. Possibly but ideally self driven etc I'll Google them and see what they are. Cheers
  17. I'm looking for more hp / torque. But mainly more sweep and cutting height and depth.... I was hoping there would be more older bigger grinders about. Either way everything's thin on the ground. Look near everyday
  18. Did you come to a conclusion in the end over the Grinder?
  19. So no more cider and chocolate
  20. Bloody hell Stuart.... Lets set up a go fund me page ey to get this grinder for you Get your hand in your pocket and go big this year! House and a grinder.

    Isuzu Grafter

    My ranger was like that this year! Garage couldnt fit it in for mot when needed and its mainly used as a saturday quoting motor so sat about a lot. so Mot lapsed by a couple of weeks... then another week or so before mot then Fail..... I tried to rebook for first thing in the morning so I could give it a good run up to temp etc but they couldnt. I dropped it in with them and they left it running whilst they finished off an mot >30mins or so and it passed no problem. Never had an issue with emmisions before. My issues was it was sat about and then not brought properly up to operating temperature when tested thats all.
