  1. Right I've ordered it... if its shite, its on you Gary lol
  2. These are the ports I want to check
  3. Right Gary hopefully that box will do and get more connectors as needed I see yours is for the tractor spools etc 👍
  4. Just wondering what kit people have or use please for checking pressures on their diggers, stump grinders and chippers etc? All seem much of a much Ness..... Spotted this on ebay : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm?itemId=401619232165&du=1 Not a clue what connectors I need but on the grinder and chipper seem like small quick fit connectors and the male on the grinder and chipper is approx 12mm dia.... handy they both seem the same. Anyone have one then and what or where did you get it from? Thanks
  5. I'd have that 955 and the 56 series in the back ground 😎
  6. 183.9 p at my local..... 185.9p the other day down in Hampshire..... 199.9p at motor way services
  7. Don't worry Hodge.... trigger Andy is a dick most days. Someone must have put 50p in him
  8. Don't know if I've got the same one or not.... handy little thing tbh.... not powerful etc. Quite quiet. Ideal for the side of the chipper and nipping off side branches etc. Will cut some bigger diameter wood but that's where your battery drains.... if its for cross cutting don't bother. Snedding for chipper we've had the battery last for a good few hours in a morning. Chains arnt the nicest. Bit grabby horrible vibe... was wondering if a 200t chain might fit at some point. Chain tensioner setups a bit of a faff and a bit crap but it all works
  9. You'd have to see if they make a wheel for your grinder. Not sure if you can fund out online? Alternatively you can get a rhino wheel and look at rhino teeth. Rhino teeth also work with the std predator wheel and keepers etc

    Up for sale is my Vermeer Sc252 stump grinder. Year 2003. I have owned this machine for approx 7-8 years and have done a heck of a lot of stumps with it. The hours are currently 1357. Engine was replaced by previous owner at 1000 hours but I have no paperwork to show you to confirm this. Fitted with a Kohler twin cylinder 25hp petrol engine. Please look at the pictures for the condition. It is no “Looker” and the paintwork or lack of, lets it down a little but it is mechanically spot on. In my ownership I have replaced : New electric clutch when I first purchased (450.00 plus vat) Replaced the bottom main pivot pin at some point. In the last year or so I have replaced both jack shaft and cutter wheel bearings and the cutter wheel side belt pulleys. I'm sure the main cutter wheel shaft was worn when I did the bearings so changed that also (expensive job!) Machine comes with spare vermeer belts ( approx 100.00) and a set of dual wheels (450.00 plus vat). The dual wheels help a lot when on a wet site or to aid traction. Also they help when grinding and riding over the mounts of chip the grinders pile in front of the drive wheels! This machine has paid for itself time and time again but this year I bought myself a tracked replacement and this is no longer being used. These machines are great and reliable. I have done some very large stumps with this in my time. Backup from vermeer is also spot on and parts readily available. Machine is fitted with vermeer yellow jacket teeth. Once one side dulls you can turn them around and have another sharp cutter side. It was running the standard amount of teeth and pockets but I dropped it down to 3 sets of pockets to see if it ground more efficiently as less pockets mean less resistance and drag in the ground. I have not had chance to try it out yet. There is some spare pockets to come with the machine, but if you wanted to put it back to the standard amount of teeth and pockets you'd need to buy a couple of pockets I think. Great machine albeit scruffy looking. Please no silly offers or tyre kickers or I will simply remove the grinder from sale and keep it! Price is £3500.00 plus vat. I cannot sell with out vat so please don't ask! Optional extra to buy is : box of 51 brand new teeth which I paid 7.50 plus vat per tooth. Can be negotiated separately. Item is located Barnoldswick, Lancashire Payment via bank transfer only. And only on cleared funds will the machine be released. Sold as seen. No warranty given or implied.

  11. I have just put my vermeer sc252 up for sale 25hp tatty but good machine 3500 plus vat
  12. Once you start hitting crap with them they soon wear their edge and pissing in the wind. 28 quid for the lead cutters, not like greens or yellow jackets and a quick turn or cheaper teeth (albeit more of them)
  13. It seems currently that we keep getting hammered with punctures and its due to the yard that I am in, nothing I can do about this. Only issue is nowadays, the garages cant be arsed doing puncture repairs and if the do its 20 quid plus vat for a repair! We've had between 4-5 punctures in the last couple of months! so it adds up and i'm getting annoyed with it. I'm just wondering if anyone uses kits like this anymore? 6pcs Motorcycle Car Tire Repair Tools Tubeless Tyre Puncture Needle Patch WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Compatible with: vehicles with tubeless tires, this kit will allow you to repair perforations quickly and efficiently. This is... Maybe not specifically this one as its first example i could find but same setup.
  14. Im just wondering what grinder wheel people use to tickle up teeth when on site with a 4 1/2" grinder? and if so where you got from? Im using multitip at the moment and would be nice to try tickle them up on site rather than just swap them out all the time. I hope its worth while lol Many thanks
  15. Yeah trailer situation is still a major head ache.... I've been looking to get a ifor gh1054 but like you say next year and prices keep going up. I priced a new gh1054 up and it was 3900 plus vat.... sure they were only 2500ish 3-4 years ago. Good luck in the search
  16. Using my new to me muscle on site this morning
  17. Not a bloody clue.... what ever they send out to me
  18. Yes svtech is the firm to use. I've spoken to them and am having my ford ranger up plated to tow 3.5t and carry more capacity ... This done via a set of air bags for the rear suspension which I have to fit. They will do the plate and sort out with dvla etc I suspect ... About 850-870 plus vat to do. They do need to know far ends of a fart though with vehicle spec, length, wheelbase, unladen weight etc..... last one before I send form off Is the rear diff ratio 😮 I've been finishing this form for a few weeks now lol 😆
  19. Now that looks good. Yes ideally a hot spanner for most of my stuff but the plasma is versatile. Think on a previous thread we had established I had a 16amp supply cable. So would ideally need to go bigger to be satisfied then by the sounds of it. Won't be used loads but it's there for when necessary
  20. I'm not planning on doing art work with it just cut stuff off. Short runs etc... won't the compressor keep up? Main thing is... what about rusty stuff and then painted stuff? Will it get through?
  21. Got a 50ltr compressor here so plenty
  22. I've grown very tired of cutting with a 4.5" grinder all the discs dust and crap from them. I only ever need to cut up to 10-12mm max..... Can they do rusty metal or bolts? What about painted metal and? Can they cut off digger brackets at 12mm thick etc? Been thinking of this one for a while : R-Tech P30C Plasma Cutter 240V 30A | Lightweight & Portable WWW.R-TECHWELDING.CO.UK Plasma Cutter R-Tech P31C Only got a domestic power supply.... on a 13 amp plug nut sure the socket is a 16 amp one. Had a digger bracket made up recently and couldn't get the bolts down the recess so had to mess about with grinder and die grinder = ball ache! Would have been a piece of pee with a plasma cutter!
  23. What's the eco teeth you talk of? I'm currently running a p26 grinder so the diesel equivalent of yours. I know you could get a green wheel for a conversion or even a rhino wheel. But the rhino teeth fit the original predator wheel any how. I'm sure new river would do a disc for the predator

All lights work and beacon etc. Digger has a cab heater which works. Overall good condition please look at the pictures.

Fitted with a Martin manual quick hitch for easy changing of buckets. Very good reach for digging etc with this machine. I bought the digger November ish of last year from Bob Wild machinery as an upgrade for an older cabless 1.5t volvo. Since I purchased the machine I have done little hours with it as now my workload warrants a bigger machine. Here is a video link of the digger from when I bought it to give you an idea : https://youtu.be/Pf7WLX_V1jI Genuine machine and a genuine seller. Machine will only be released on cleared funds. Payment via bank transfer only. Digger has to be sold with VAT so please do not ask. Machine located Barnoldswick, Lancashire
