    Check head for grease this may contribute a little vibration. I never use the split shaft ones but I had bad vibe on one hedge trimmer die to a bent pole / shaft. Too much using it top of hedges and putting weight on it. Make sure nothings bent

    Has anyone purchased or replaced a feed roller motor recently? Mines an older machine and not on the newer Parker motors. My roller motor has developed a leak and everything is on back order etc. Managed to source a seal but it wasn't just right and still leaking. Bandit has a seal kit but it's 130 quid ish plus vat! I think the roller motor performance is down a little anyhow so would like to swap it out.... Global have no stock! Bandit have no stock! Parker didn't recognise the number and said would have to go to Bandit. Anyone help out with a source and a part number? Being Yankee doolally its imperial not metric stuff. It would appear maybe the yanks were asleep just the same as others though corvid!

    Ticka ticka ticka ticka ticka lol 😆 If I can remember I take a quick video of the noise the 12v pump I fitted to my grinder makes and send it via whatts app. In the morn.

    Most things I've had with a kubota diesel have a 12v pump and you can hear it clicking etc as it pumps fuel just with ignition on

    I hope its got a decent steel body and decent tailgate? I used to load a jensen a530t 1250kg into the back of a transit tipper with some ifor ramps hung on the tailgate no issues. That's from ground level so way steeper, might have tipped the bed up a little to help. Newer style bodies with the craopy alloy drop down tailboards with miniscule hinges.... no no !

    I bought a second hand ifor gh1054 in the end as not paying the new price nor waiting for ever. Trailers new were fine at 23-2600 plus vat not 3900 plus vat. Sold a brian james tilt bed plant trailer as obly 2700 kg. Still have my gx106 I bought new un good co dition but I think this is going to go so I can buy a 12x6 dropside instead 👍

    I didn't want to depress too many folks Steve ... I'm usually a glass half full person. But I'm a realist too..... been a funny year so far and going to get very hard soon!

    In this day and age very few people just get one quote.... many are 3 quotes plus..... How do you feel you are going to get on in the economic climate which we currently have and possible heading to a recession if not allready in one and waiting for the money to run out?

    Come up north and compete against some of the local lads and you'd be on the dole very soon 😆 🤣 Being serious I take it you have a low conversion rate but high profit?

    Happy days! Thought this thread was on the bottom of the ocean 😆 Yeah I'm going to have to order some proper ones..... don't know why but the ones that screw upwards seem to have a bloody nut ontop of them! And this is covered by the big plate the engine sits on. I will have a good look at it next week and get it all sorted. Cheers Richy 👍 Chris

    Just wondering if other people's machines had these double ended screw in pins fitted to their machines at all? 2 of mine have been changed for what looks like a big nut and bolt / bodged....! One of the correct ones snapped today 😞 was going to remove this one but it's going to foul the frame on the way out! (Snapped one looks like an animal with Stilsons have been at it 😆) Crap design but just wondering If those are rhe correct pins / bolt etc or if they've moved onto something else. Cheers

    I'm in need of another plant trailer. Needs to be for my 2.6t digger etc.... doesn't want to be wider than the gh1054 ifor which I believe is 2.1m wide.... and it only weighs 660kg ... so far this is the one I need.... Looked at Brian james but they are heavier We use a gx106 but the back roads I run on its just too wide and could't send a members of staff out with it comfortably. We also run a little brian james tiltbed trailer 10x5 but only a 2700kg! This is used everyday. Is there anything to rival the gh1054 ? Comes down to weight and no bigger than 10x5'4" for me Did consider a 12x6 dropside but don't want the hassle of pissing about with ramps all the time. Cheers

    There is still permitted development allowed in a CA..... As said needs to fit in... has anyone else set president? A porch can be built up to a certain size with out planning etc. It's no biggie. I'm in a CA and replaced all my front windows and kept the Georgian bar in them to keep in sync with the rest. Rear windows don't have it. Wouldn't phase me getting another house in a con area again

    Ahh ffs, noticed first thing this morning! It must have gone on way home from job yesterday as was making a racket!
  22. swinny
    Had this recently.... even rang hmrc up as didn't want to believe my accountant lol 😆 Your vat reg, charge vat.
  23. swinny
    Sounds awful, but dumpers suggestion sounds good then.... scaffold and small grinder. And most of all...... Charge plenty for an inconvenience pain in the arse job 😀

    Like ****************...... Come on! Thats clearly a cut to stump job and poison and walk away.... let the builders sort the stump and roots as they dismantle sections of the wall and repair. You or someone will make a right pigs ear of that if you grind! (claw away with a digger if you have to gently but no no to a stump grinder)

    He's like you say naive or plays dumb and just a winging twat questioning and bidding 2 sides of stupid questions / arguments against each other. Like radio Jeremy Kyle. I suppose its what folks like to listen to nowadays. Pointless shit to distract them from their lives or getting forwards
