  1. Sorry but its 4 years on assets look on gove website says it clearly
  2. My scantolini body doesnt half do some creaking! Periodically just use wd40.... not greasable on the rear hinge either.... shite design
  3. Must get on and get something sorted myself.... Not sure what yet.... most likely buy a property to rent out will see.... Times moving on though! keeps getting put on the back burner
  4. I may be looking to change my stump grinder in the new year... Currently use a vermeer sc252 which is a belting machine! Just let down by being 35" wide!! I like to do a proper grind, and grind the whole stump out. Im not a 4-6" below turf person.... Bit concerned about the weight of some of the grinders with regards to if needed to go over paving etc.... like the predator 28/38 etc Dont mind a wheel'd one but tracks may also be ok... Please if you are going to recommend a grinder, please be honest about it and its abilities..... The bandit zt.... only grinds to 12" deep, not going to take out the full stump unless i start digging the grinder in..... then the engine will be running on a big angle oil to one pot and not the other as far as i see... I've done huge stumps with the vermeer and even with its grinding depth of 16-18" im constantly digging the thing in to get that bit lower. Whats a short list I should look at? Carlton 4012? predator 28-38 Anything else? Some of the bandit 2250n look ok but hyd head must draw power from these... and always for sale with low hours on Cheers

  10. Just after some advice on what to go for. looking to get a pto winch for the back of the tractor for the odd big fells or leaners etc. Dont want something too fancy or costly as wont get used a lot but good to have in the inventory. we have a 100hp 4 wd tractor weighs maybe 5-5.5t any advice please as to what size / power to go for. many thanks chris
  11. I wouldnt be a tight arse.... Im not mard and change stuff all the time but moneys been had from that I'd say. Get a new one bought its against tax... Cant put a price on your safety
  12. How about weld 3 spots of weld on the underside of the washer that comes into contact with the chute..... these blobs will help keep pressure / hold down the chute?
  13. Some chippers have used holes and pins in the past to keep locked in one position. How old is the chipper? Mines 2 yrs old and I like you remove the chute daily but never have this problem
  14. Well done on finding a well kept and decent looking tractor local! Hope it all goes well for you.
