  4. Thats a beauty
  5. its just for finance purposes really.... you never know sometimes
  6. Is this due to weight of chassis and "uprated" bits?
  7. Just wondering where or who with you've done a hpi check with and some feed back on if they were any good. I thought it was just a case of putting a reg number in and away you go but i've tried on a few sites and they also want the chassis number etc.... anyone used one lately

  9. Whats the 2.8 turbo engine like in these??2002-2004
  10. this is a tipper we're talking about?

  12. Just looking at getting a fresh vehicle at some point soon. Been looking at crew cabs so can stick saws in the back etc.... Torn between the iveco and the transit..... I like the iveco due to ride height, towning capabilities, the looks, taller cab so taller chip box I also like the transits as another option. Currently run a ldv and am after something more refined, better steering and brakes and just update image a bit. Only thing that i'm bothered about with the iveco is the "Lack" of payload as we all know theyre heavy! Its either a iveco crew cab with steel back.... Or a transit crew cab with ally back..... What to do? both same on insurance hmmmmmmmm
  13. bit of snow here but not much, think its a sign of whats to come lol we'll see
  14. i've just took all the straps etc out of my petzl vertex climbing helmet and thrown them in the washing machine
  15. the 185 and the 195 are the widths... its the aspect ration and the rim diameter that alter the speedo
  16. Thought yours would be on 14" with it being a smiley? someone told me about "town and county" or "town and country" tyres..... judge on here told me not sure which they are though....
  17. Near skipton
  18. it has to be cost effective for the guy really, and thats all he's asked for up to now.... wants something 4ft and then maintain a good sized 6ft hedge.... its at the bottom of his garden to stop people looking up to his property..... not really ever looked into planting different species as usually people just want conifers..... but i suppose beech etc will be a lot more expensive? hawthorn may be a possability or even laurel... but it doesn't want to be that fast of growing it needs a lot of attention..... whats this 5 sp one? you have any examples of what species etc?? Cheers
  19. Evening all, i have a job comming up where i am to remove some horrible conifers that have grown out of all proportion and to replant new ones.... The plan is to remove old conifers just cut to ground level, then replant the new conifer hedge a few feet back. The conifers also live under the canopy of a sycamore.... so just hoping they can get enough light and not grow like the previous ones.... sycamore is a tpo tree. Any way like i say i'm planting the new conifer hedge a few feet back, so i plan to dig the holes, use an axe to chop any old conifer roots up and plant new conifers in with some compost, also put a layer of mulch down. Anything else to consider or is all of the above the way to go?
  20. really could do with some pictures please
  21. haha!! got you! great stuff
  22. just because they don't make the stihl 361 anymore doesn't make the 346 better lol two different cc saws i'll stop now before it gets into a stihl husky debate....
  23. how would you retreive it though when using a false anchor, wether a cambium saver or a device..... it wouldn't feed through the krabs to catch the shackle to pull it out of the tree??
  24. For the price, they cannot really be knocked... its horses for courses and they for sure arn't a 200t, and would neither be purchased to replace one lol
  25. not sure what you mean on the last bit lol
