one 6' conifer lol in all seriousness not much at all.... be constantly tipping off

Apparently bearing failure was to blame so blades contacted anvil and brought everything to a stop, bits of blade still wedged into it! 150 or a 190?

Got you you bastard! What a git this has been.... Welded nuts on and sheared off, welded big washer on and then a nut... Sheared off.... Each time applying lots of heat. This time (not touched it for days) drilled a big hole in the flat bar. Put over bolt and snot it on well on full power!. Bar was 16" long and needed big tube on still to get it to shift! Got so far till flat bar fouled the axle then had to cut it down and use some adjustable spanner on it.Tight to the end! And it has also been helicoiled!

I love the massive sweep on the fsi. Only problem.with the FSI is the price, you need a mortgage.... Then you have to deal with spectrum plant aswell..... Always see bandit 2250n etc for sale low hours and seen people say not enough puff with the HYD motor. Bandit zt..... Not sure. It seems with bandits everyone raves about them and then some give false reviews about them. Also 12" grind depth is utter shite.... Don't care what anyone says. Any stump of any decent size needs a proper grind not a back scratcher. Predators seem to be able to be had for decent brass second hand. Are they a bit top heavy at all? The 252 has been and is a great grinder. Wouldn't want to take a step backwards.

Who do you use for your dealer and parts? Didn't that Charles bloke give up and move on?

yours wheel'd or tracked Mick?

Yup stanley blade is good. I have pins in the house but if out on the job i have a pack of stanley blades in the door pocket for this very reason!

Just wondering on peoples thoughts on an upgrade from a vermeer sc252. For starters I will say I always do a proper grind, not just a 6" under the surface kind. The 252 has been an awesome grinder and I've tackled some big stumps with it 4' dia etc.... Im possibly looking for something with better traction, wants to be narrower as the 35" can sometimes be a hindrance. Most likely something tracked? but havent discounted decent wheel'd version. I've seen the predator 28 and 38 etc would love a diesel due to fuel saving but think the engine noise from the 28 is horrendous or thats how i remembered it! Not bothered about new, Ideally 10-12k budget no more. Important for the machine to be a deep grind one 16-18" etc not just a surface scratcher lol Any suggestions? Have even considered having the 252 mounted on tracks but not sure who can do this or how much it would be. Cheers

Without pictures it never happened ?

Good thread. Be interested to know. Sent a pic of a piece of machinery to a local blasters asking for a rough price and their availability and heard bugger all back.... Really really don't want to tackle with the grinder. Won't do anywhere near a good of job as proper blasting. Do people not also offer blasting and priming as a service?

Good spot! Great what a fresh pair of eyes can see

Bastardo..... Loader bracket bolt.... Big ISH thing.... Tried heat with my little torch and stilsons.... Then welded a big nut on and then heated the heck out of the bolt and casing.... Bolt sheared behind the weld.... Twat. Left for another day. Any suggestions?

How wide is it?

And if you get it in straight away it can alter your July payment this year.... Make it more or less.... Always better to get it put in asap then you know where your at.

Universal credit then?

I may see about splitting pli Eli and plant across different companies maybe... Good idea

That's one thing that pissed me off with trust is they will try stiff you for more every year. Tried to load my premium up by 700 last year! I've spoken to a few people who have all said the same

I was looking... There was a really rough one at 3500 plus vat then a lot cleaner one around 7500.00 Bought a mini digger and grab in the end. Lot better for me

I like my Flemming tr8. Some things like tailboard are a bit thin etc but overall happy with it

No more pics? Possibly Rowan / sorbus

Exactly... Some folk will spend it then shit themselves when it's due. I'd rather just get it paid and it's done then.

What if you don't pay by direct debit? Just pay it off in a onner

Good post J!

Why not include 2019-2020 after all it's due to be filed soon.... Ends in a few days! Daft

Was aweful an hour or two ago. Just came off it. Seems ok now
