  1. I bet πŸ˜† The lad put orange plant out of business in the end πŸ˜€ Only joking Stuart.... but just to let you know. It comes in 3's..... i hope you've had your third by now πŸ˜† 🀣
  2. Shit isn't it. Heard a few folk say due to electric vehicle fires etc but not sure how much weight that argument has.... I questioned vehicle value.... master tipper at 16k I think and a ranger, over valued at 5500.... 10k difference in value. Same premium
  3. Yup. Folk don't realise they have to listen to a machine. I have in the past and still do when putting leafy material in, knee the stop bar before the no stress kicks in then activate it again to only feed a little at a time so it can clear the chamber.
  4. So what do folk do then.... just stomach it and deal with it when necessary? Kinda seems a shite trade off πŸ€”
  5. I would think all knows vehicle insurance has gone up silly. Mines gone up over 500 quid for nowt. Anyhow one interesting thing I found out was that : you do not use or accrue ncb with a fleet policy. (Specifically talking ncb here. You would get some sort of no claim history with that company) Your ncb only lasts 2 years if you do not use it.... Before fleet policy I had 13 years on one vehicle and 10 years on another.... Catch 22 now if i don't get a policy that accepts ncb before mid November they are gone. Does anyone bother with ncb now ? Anyone just though about their circumstances now? As I've just made you aware? Kind of pissed to leave the ncb behind if I continue fleet policy.... 2 truck and 1 tractor, though tractor could be insured separately for me. if you try aviva insurance and try to put modified in, it come up we cannot insure you over the inter net or over the phone. This is purely due to the chip box which I'm sure would be classed as a modification? Anyhow just hope folk haven't sleep walked into loosing their ncb. Imagine if you finishnup business in the next few years and need to insure a car for yourself and back with no ncb
  6. Exactly what I thought. Esp off a swinging hammer mulcher. Looks bang on. Most folk leave massive stringy bits all over. Obv gone deeper to blend into soil
  7. Least your in the clear now though ey πŸ˜€
  8. Excellent company is greenmech. One of the better companies I've dealt with. Shame I've gone on 9" plus road tow or would be running a gm road tow. I do run a gm safetrac at the moment too πŸ‘
  9. Yes I know the can't drop start. And yes probs should read the manual here πŸ˜† had a couple of times it wouldn't start and would have head scratch but would then start lol πŸ˜† wtf.... It's me and the lads though not the winch πŸ˜€
  10. I saw the demo at the arb show of the eder 1200 and thought it was ace. Bought one straight away after that as had plenty of work lines up for it. Great purchase!
  11. Nope. Not a clue. I run wired cameras with a display in the van. I also run one on the tractor loader... i got the one for the loader first best thing ever
  12. Yeah I did consider buying both and sticking in a wagon body at the yard out of the weather.
  13. All I ever use really is type c..... had some bloody fair heat this summer! I was considering getting some type a but lucky me it's September now and coming back to cold season πŸ˜€ I may well get some type a next year due to excessive heat as has been mentioned
  14. I know of a little grey fergie petrol local I could buy or a little Fordson dexta. But I just can't bring myself to buy either at the moment. Don't feel interested currently
  15. Your accountants would usually knock 10% off your motor expenses for private use.
  16. Same here but been cracking the flags lately here. Weird for September
  17. Took a decent sized one down the other day. Just bored into the edges and put poison in as usual.
  18. Wet and dry tank top and used the better fuel cap on the right. Still leaked πŸ˜† 🀣
  19. Good on you! Hope it serves you well πŸ˜€
  20. Definitely feel a right spanner for not sorting it yet lol πŸ˜† but it's been low down on priorities if not been used. Wet and dry top of tank is next step I think like you say! Ahh and yes engineers blue. Forgot about that stuff. One day I may get to the bottom of it but for the other day a glove and zip tie had to do lol πŸ˜† πŸ˜…
  21. Bastard thing πŸ˜† tried a new cap to no avail though I couldn't find a quality genuine one for sale... so maybe its still the cap. I do know the cap of a gx 390 fit well.... anyhow got to site and top of tank wet just from it sloshing around and being 3/4 tank full...
  22. I'll be up near Loch Tay back end of next month πŸ˜€ nice up there
