  1. lol i must admit it looks pretty cool and if i wasn't such a tight arse and there was loads of work about i might have got one
  2. i've recently got some normal bashlins, with velcro top pad and normal strap at the bottom cracking spikes in my opinion for the price (non replaceable gaff though only naff bit)
  3. you need to find out WHY is seized in the first place.... no oil in the fuel? air leak? etc then if you've found the problem, check ebay out for a pot and piston (if avaliable) and if its financially viable if so you should have a little fun on your hands
  4. Hi there, I have been asked to just "cut back" some ever intruding japanese knotweed. nothing fancy just cut it back. I have not seen the garden etc as its som 30odd miles away but am due to look soon. I have never really dealt with knotweed before. What i am asking is, is there any special ppe to wear when doing this? sounds from description from customer like a hedge cutter job, will this need special cleaning etc after use? also would it be best to change clothe's straight away after the job and when home put straight in the wash? I do not want to transport any of the knotweed back with me or off site on either clothes or tools. I have done reading and know that it is a controlled waste and should not be removed off site unless be authorised removal people. Not sure how the customer usually disposes of the waste as of yet. Also seen that i need a license to burn it if that was the route to go down, but also it would have to be properly dry to burn..... so would it have to be left covered up? Also is it worth putting some roundup or glyphos on the cut stems (not injecting just spray) any other help appreciated Cheers
  5. Still haven't got my membership pack through yet my girlfriend ordered it for my birthday back in june i'll have to crack on and chase it up
  6. I wouldn't necessarily say that just gambling addicts say that lol i say it, i started getting all my gear for working on my own jobs... and am a believer in the fact that you do have to SOMETIMES spend money to accumulate and get you further up the ladder
  7. Sounds good was hoping to draw back my 1700 quid thats all, and think it should be possible to get near that what starting price to put on ebay and would anyone set a reserve?? hate selling stuff on ebay lol
  8. pm sent
  9. need to put my vermeer up for sale, have tried looking on ebay to compare prices as to what theyre going for but haven't had any sucess..... just uploading pics now good sharp rollers, recent new air filter and thats all ive had to do to it, also chain welded on front to chain to vehicle
  10. yes i would have done
  11. Cheers, its first spraying job i've been asked to do really and thought it may be good to do it myself etc.... but its 195.00 per pa course might not be financially viable for a small spraying job once every few months. hmmmm
  12. this would be for a job i have of my own for a customer.....
  13. Hi there, Just wondering which pa ticket i would need to get to do some manual spraying with a nap sack, mainly glyphosphate Cheers Chris
  14. I must admit its a pain in the arse going back to a 5-6" chipper after using the bandit 90 which is either a 9 or 10" but who i work for at the moment isn't bothered about the logs.... just get in there and get the job done as they take on a lot in a day
  15. will try that
  16. exactly
  17. Right, managed to submit my app a little while ago.... it turns out that the TO was on holiday at the time...... got a call from someone whom said i needed to speak to the TO when he got back. I did this and every thing was ok with my app thanks to all that helped He said he'd be looking at it this week.... How do i get a reply? will it be by email or will i have to log into planning portal and look somewhere on there?? Cheers Chris (i will get there in the end lol)
  18. is that turn it clock wise or anti? Cheers
  19. Anyone help on the carb setings?? as said it has the plastic limiter caps on seems like you only get 1/2 a turn or maybe just over?? Just want to set it right and idle correctly Saw just been put back together
  20. Evening, Anyone have any problems with the seal on the fuel cap? the tank was quite full and with a few bumpy bits along the way some fuel has come out..... then it runs down the trailer chassis and anywhere it wants lol, Just wondering if this is common at all?? fuel filler cap doesn't seem the best seal/fit etc cheers Chris
  21. Stephen is a top man i can vouch for that
  22. lol its good to have hobbies and if it can be sort of combined with work or arisings from work, then why not Bray on
  23. the 441 much more suits the 20" bar than the 25", i had one on once and you had to nurse it through the wood, stick to 20" and have the cutting speed like people have mensioned i have a 064 with a 25" bar no messing
  24. Evening all, Just a few questions for you that are in the know What are the settings to set the carb to? it still has the restrictor caps on What is the air filter to go for? it has a small hole in so wanting to replace also has anyone a service manual for the 088 thanks in advance Chris
