You see I've tried all this and still do be nice to others and how you want to be treated etc, maybe its the people of today but I usually get shit on more often than not. Its wearing thin Haven't read your original post though by the way as only seen stubbys reply was to your original post.

I still run an old 1999 stihl fs400 that I got second hand years ago. Belting trimmers the fs400

Mulching, winching, making a mess and carting. LOVE IT!

Yup 😆

I ****************ed that one well

Sure that's what my recent order was.... got 100ltr off them bargain price but can't remember what I paid via ebay

Thank you appreciate it

Just wondering if anyone knew where I could look at sourcing a 2nd hand tracked base for a road tow to tracked machine conversion? Most likely like a 2.5t digger base etc. Don't need slew etc just tracked frame and motors tracks etc Cheers

Is that one of the newer timing belt running in oil engines?

First things first.... kettle on

I noticed that on the straight ones too. Not sure if you are aware but qrms do the rayco super copies at 5.00 each 👍

Ha you Git 😂 I actually went back to see if I'd typed that 😂

Touch wood I haven't really buggered too many hoses. Usually get shafted at the local ag place for that. I see what your saying though. Can do them of an evening ready to go next day rather than rock up at 8am... wait for ages and come out with a pipe at 8:30-45 to then have to fix and or get to site.... Times money and prefer repairs in house 👍 bout 2.5k for the machine isn't it then hoses and things on top

Just looked pa6 course with a local company, 282 quid.... that's Inc vat I think also

Christ that's expensive.... sure it was only 200 quid ish when I did mine few years back like

What a week all fairly mild in fairness. Got to site machine wouldn't start to get it off the trailer... found a broken green corroded wire. Quick bodge for the day and back at it. Nearly bogged machine down, got out of situation to find track had come off idler, no grease gun or jack etc on site! Managed to rough arse it back on with a ratchet strap and a pick axe we found on site. Yesterday the chipper cut out on us... ALT on the screen.... quick look shredded alternator belt. Middle of a field 😂 Jase at greenmech tech sorted me some numbers out to get one sorted. Always snaps or rubs where the numbers are! Managed to go get one from gsf in local town thankfully and back at it! Makes me wonder how the hell folk get on who have to wait for someone to come out when machines break down etc must waste full days at times

I ended up having to go to a funeral not long ago for a lad who was maybe 28 ish, left a little lad behind. Madness. Belting chap the guy was I think a lot of everything is who you surround yourself with.... I can't be doing with negative folk, the doom and gloomers... it rubs off on you. Surround yourself with nice folk. People who get up off their arse and go do stuff. Go getters. I gave up going to pubs etc folk just doing the same old week in week out. Winging about boring shit If you never change owt nowt changes

Spotted this beast on site the other day riding this leaf till the winds died down. Thinking it was size of a 50p

I wondered where this thread was. Crap at using the search function. I bought this old trailer on a whim to go behind tractor. But smaller than I wanted for further down the line but can always get another. Someone had been front loading it and squashed the front corner down. Put lots of strength and beefed it up where needed. Can easily take my 2.6t digger and tracked chipper to site on it in one go now at least

Old ex army ammo box? I use them for battery boxes on my machines if needed 👍

In fairness this is what you first learn within your first years after leaving school and starting works. It doesn't get any better

This is what I have on my dewalt and is being a right pain at the moment.... like I say only seals on an oring and it blows them out now and again.... thinking of taking mine off and throwing in the scrap!

Grease guns are a pain.... I have a normal manual one and a dewalt battery gun. Dewalt is only good if the fitting will easy take grease..... sometimes it won't grease the nipple but then use a manual gun and it takes grease fine! Try a new end on your gun first.... I bought a fancy quick grip type one for my dewalt but it's started to be shite and it spits the oring out now and again which is what it seals against. I'm going back to a normal grease gun end soon!
