Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No its some out of focus blue paint in the distance! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Genuine seller. Was tempted to buy this a while back when was talking with him but bit too far away for me Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Proper rough most of them if memory recalls! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Charged £160 for a 20 minute grind last week. Still prefer spending £18 on a board that does the exact same job than £136 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Just saw two blokes dressed up as batman holding up signs trying to flog pizzas in the absolute p*ssing rain. Rates highly on the 'should have tried harder in school' scale of jobs! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

This is my setup Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Same as mine except I drill a couple of holes in them and tie together with some blue 3 strand rope as think hinges will twist and work loose and doesn't need any strengthening. Can take a pic if you want Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Got some quotes to type up but you're right, too wet out so I'll leave it Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Do they need one? My chipper is the same setup and the greenmech chippers were/are built with a control bar no bottom stop bar. Think it's down to the length of the hopper? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

It's not even just minorities that suffer in these countries, heard on the radio yesterday about a British woman who got raped in dubai and they took her passport off her and arrested her for having sex outside of marriage!!! Disgusting Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Less air going in so less air resistance I'd imagine? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

I don't like that oregan chain, acts like that on the husky 540 as well. I've currently got some efco chains I got from chains directs ebay page, £20 for 5 of them! Can't fault them tbh Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Especially since they've updated them recently so has a hopper that folds down and buttons rather than the bar Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

I reckon the lads towing tanks around the deserts in Africa back in ww2 would have wanted it! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
-
I'd like to have a go driving one but if remember right they've not got power steering? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
-
Yeah we're forever landing trees on chippers! I think they missed a trick on the 160, not changing the externals at all makes it look really dated compared to the greenmech 130 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Works for me, if they think you're being greedy they'll look elsewhere. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Was that yours? My dad used to take me out in one of those around that time Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

This is very true, if a customer questions why a price is higher than they expect I generally tell them the costs of insurance, fuel, stump grinder teeth replacement cost or whatever is relevant to the job. I know my weekly costs regardless if any jobs get done so it's factored in Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

I've got a rayco rg20 which is similar size, I just drive it up a couple of 3 meter scaffold boards onto the back of a transit. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
-
How you supposed to know they split if all behind the covers then? Surely if this was the true reason it would make more sense to put in a valve of some description that let some grease out? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
-
You'd never get the job for that. Too much competition about. 3-350 is fair for both the customer and contractor. Cutting down a few bushes and getting rid of half a load of chip isn't very hard work Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
-
Pretty close then 🖒 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
-
I'd have thought £350. Two of us would have that done by 1 easily if we didn't rush and early day or something else if had anything we could drop onto in the afternoon Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

Yup, different setups etc make a big difference. Mashing stuff down into a trailer vs decent chipper easily makes you 3-4 times more productive Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
