  1. Off whom? i bought one 2 years ago also from apf lol
  2. Kretz or cramp balls? not sure if latter found on white beam though Where's the pictures and whats the tree like etc?
  3. Went on tractor specs to try find some info on it but can't find them
  4. Yeah i noticed this on my 024.... it was playing up and i set the h + l back to standard 1 turn out..... but it was a right pain, its somewhere set between 3/4 and 1 turn out on the l screw. It wouldn't idle too good any richer. Finally got a fuel tank vent for my other 024 today when passing dick leighs so that should be working well now after a quick run and check I really rate the little 024's esp for little domestic jobs etc
  5. Yes, need right terminology here I agree with the above!
  6. I find even on the small domestic jobs, people are still getting multiple quotes... even when your a reasonable rate!
  7. Still no refund... poor show!
  8. owners manual says 20s 30w i think or UTO for both engine and transmission (older tractor)
  9. Hi there, just a query. I've noticed some tractors take the same oil in the engine as in the transmission! Is this ok for when running log splitters etc? Also you can just use universal tractor oil in either... What do you use? Cheers
  10. Yup, nothing else this year Another note, has anyone been re funded yet?
  11. It'll be fine then shame she didn't just use loppers or a saw etc to make life easier for her
  12. what kind of hedge?
  13. totally agree
  14. And sometimes, depending where you are, you can sell some if you can, but if not you can give it away to clear it. works on some species better than others, give away pop etc lol
  15. I don't know much about value of firewood roadside etc, but it may not be worth as much due to being freshly felled and green so weighing a lot more thus less per tonne, also people may not want a tonne of fire wood in an 8ft butt

    Road Trip

    Excellent! I'll be going up to Alnwick soon! Going to the gardens etc and having a meal in the tree house restraunt
  17. I've done it to a few saws pal Look at spuds thread on whats on your bench today, he's done plenty. Also look for Meteor pistons as they are good quality Good luck, i'm sure you'll suss it and have your saw back working in no time!
  18. Nice burning pile?
  19. A "mill" front loader, what are they like? they seem old fasioned etc, and how do you adjust the bucket or release it to tip? is it a lever Cheers Ears
  20. Supprised no one has commented on this... where's hamma? I thought that some tree's could get over this? affecting youngest trees worse/killing faster. Wouldn't it be worth a shot heavy reduction? esp if the customer wants to retain.
  21. not really a pay as you climb.... when you ring up you can specify, how much percentage landscaping, how much tree work on the ground, how much tree work climbing, also how much turn over...... So you may only earn 4k a year off it so it may lower premiums but not sure. 341 is a good price, thats what mine was last year, dropped a bit this year.
  22. Happy birthday old boy lol, a year closer to retiring
  23. Also the correct cover would have to be employers liability which would be 10 million, so sounds like your only quoted for public liability.
  24. If he's questioning 341.00 for the year, then is he really worth doing any work for? Sounds like a wet flannel to me.
  25. yeah, think cabs the way to go! No point buying something to be not happy with it! May try up the budget to move to better tractor, will see. thanks for the offer, will weigh it up
