  1. Found this one in my garden yesterday, anyone know what it is without googling?
  2. £2500 but that was three of them, huge and long sloping drag. Think it took four days
  3. That's the one, hand it over!
  4. I can't remember anything on the back but the link to the pictures of them above shows some screws so may have been. The plastic was about 1cm thick, pretty rigid with small amount of flex
  5. Shame, used to do some work for a firm who had one, been looking for one since started doing my own bits as was a handy tool, would have been perfect for today, been reducing privet hedges so tiny leaves everywhere a normal rake won't touch
  6. Think he was called Nottingham rake? Been looking for one of these rakes too, if you track him down let us know!
  7. Just been to price a big ash to pollard or take down dependant on price, phoneline through it, 2 garages, 3 sheds, 2 fences,to come out for access and over 4 gardens. Everything would need lowering, minimum 2 days for 3 guys. They told me when got there they'd had a really high price, in conversation let slip it's for £550! Didn't even give a price as not even in the ball park, so no, big trees aren't paying for me right now!
  8. liked all the ones posted here so far, mines Here
  9. ntl (virgin now) were the worst for not burying cables, hit one with a saw that was just threaded through a conifer hedge I was taking out a few years back, luckily only nicked it and managed to repair myself with some electrical tape from the tool box
  10. Very close to home, sorry to see this has happened again
  11. I wear SIP freedom 1 type A, they have protection around the calves, good price and have lasted ages. Zips on the pockets broke fairly quickly which is only gripe.
  12. http://www.stihl.co.uk no?
  13. Chap I know had same situation, chipper saws etc stored at home, neighbour complained and he ended up moving his stuff elsewhere, not sure if due to legality of running a business (is a ltd company so may be different rules to self employed?) or just for an easy life
  14. Who was robbed if don't mine my asking? I know someone had bits stolen in st Albans a few nights ago. Got caravans parked up a minutes walk from my house since yesterday so paranoid atm
  15. In Markyate, few miles from you, and just started but blue skies about to breakout so back to it before the next downpour!
  16. I wouldn't scan it, just fell it, with it leaning over a road its not worth the risk
  17. My dad used to run those, the battery was behind the cab, under the body, we used to have to chain it on to stop it found walkies. Any decent sized battery should do?
  18. We've got a 2002 ms340, I think they came out when they added the ms prefix
  19. its been on sale forever and a day, has been knocking about on ebay for around £25000 still mounted. Can't fathom out why you'd build it when the stand alone chipper would have done the same job http://www.agriaffaires.co.uk/used/wood-chipper/2465709/greenmech-chipper-shredder.html
  20. http://www.1-2-print.co.uk/Flyers/A6_250_gsm/?3.73349 You upload your artwork and they send them out. I just did a few here and there when had a spare day but bought in enough to warrant the effort, very boring soul destroying stuff though! Am doing a little £120 job on Monday that's a follow up on a job from last year I got from them so I say if you're quiet then get out there
  21. 1-2-print did 5000 a6 double sided for that, still got most of them stashed for quiet times but the few I posted more than paid for themselves
  22. You may have something caught in the sprocket, its happened to mine a couple of times, once was cutting out an old hedge and some string got caught in it and fixed it by clearing it out, happened again when something looking like hair was in there, almost invisible but made it cut out when chain break is on, saw is faultless otherwise. Only a 5 min job to pop it off and clean it out Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using Tapatalk 2
  23. My cousin bought one a couple of months back and really rates it over his tw150, apparently its a little slower but crushes anything you feed it. haven't seen or used it myself but will be looking at them or the 130 myself when time for a new chipper.
  24. I run 20 on my ms361 and its great, makes me wonder about the husky 560 wanting a 15-18 inch when its the same cc?
  25. I run 30 inches on mine, speaking to someone who runs a 20 on his 660 last week and says cuts like a beast!
