  1. Nice!!! what money? get that grab headstock changed to an angled one, world of difference.
  2. None of the above. The g30r was built for McCormick by valpadana. McCormick were a mainstream British tractor manufacturer. The g30r was just a badge engineered model to expand their line up.
  3. There’s a bloke on Facebook looking to sell his e26, very tidy, ready piped. 8 ton and below plant group
  4. What does that equate to in tons? Roughly? Yes only 60 hours on the clock! I'm not full time like you as you might guess 🤣 I saw your log bullet the other year in Wales, I wish I'd stopped for a chat. But the other half is getting fed up of me going up to random people I know from the Internet, she says it's not safe...
  5. First proper day with the LogBullet, 2.5m lengths of birch. Estimates welcome as to much I moved? I’ve no idea.
  6. So a large groundworks firm passing from father to son (yard, diggers and dumpers etc, you know, tools of the trade) should be exempt from IHT also? Also, if you think it’s all to build houses… The government can already compulsorily purchase land for public infrastructure. If they had the will, this could be done for council housing, and you’d not need anything like the amounts of land you’re talking about either.
  7. Or the other op reached in front when he shouldn’t have. OP mentioned directors. This is what happens when firms get too big, they are forced to employ retards and the rely upon certificates and totally impractical things like demanding a physical barrier between the guy with the saw and the brash draggers. Its simply because you’ve hired idiots with no common sense to make a quick buck.
  8. Nothings going to last the next thirty years. Probably won’t even be able to buy petrol by then! for the amount of use you are going to be doing you need a proper brush cutter. FS461 would be my choice. A combi tool is just painful to use for that amount of heavy strimming. If you need to tune the stihl carbs that often then you’re doing something wrong. No idea what but something! The good news for you is that the fs461 is mtronic which is auto tune.
  9. Surely the logical answer is to increase your prices so you can afford the local housing?
  10. You'll not regret going red. Knocks the spots off other marques for most tasks so long as you compare top of the range models with the same form other brands.
  11. Odds on Musk turning off Ukraine's Starlink capability at some point to help with Trump's 'negotiations'?
  12. Checkatrade are basically like every other snake oil sales 'lead generator'. Pay attention greenhorns, this is how it works. Salesman calls you , promises you the earth. More work than you can handle. You sign the document he sends you. They don't deliver. Either no calls or simply sending you the junk fake leads they send everyone. You complain. Say 'salesman promised XYX' They say- read the contract. The salesman's verbal promises will not be in it. Worse, you are signed up for a year minium. Even worse- you cannot cancel as its business to business. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING AS A BUSINESS UNLESS YOU HAVE FULLY READ IT AND UNDERSTAND- CONSUMER PROTECTIONS DO NOT APPLY
  13. The only one worth considering is the Milwaukee one Bob. Come borrow mine if you like. Feeds better than its rivals and does it all from a battery, not a big old tethered compressor or finnicky gas.
