I just can’t see it either hence the post! Saw and blower are in the scrap, still have polesaw as shaft is good. One day when i have time I’ll pull it down and put some photos up. I run everything on e5. Until Esso changed a couple years back I was even able to run on e0. ****************ing green policies.

Another vote for the Milwaukee here.

I don’t have to patience to do that on every machine. My fs461 and fs490 are stored with normal mix in and never have an issue over ten years. im just at a loss as to why three Husky machines have failed like it.

Stored with all the rest of the machines inside an insulated workshop.

All three were laid up in perfect health. Started up after changing the fuel and wouldn’t run right, started to need throttle to keep idling etc. Pull them over and it’s clear the compression has vanished. Remove exhaust and I can see scratches everywhere. I have multiple stihl machines stored for similar periods without use and have never had a problem. I’m perplexed. The polesaw has been replaced with Milwaukee m18 which is a massive improvement in performance and I’ve just ordered the m18 back handle.

Over the course of a year- polesaw, blower and a 135. All not used for a year or so, so drained of fuel and refilled with fresh good mix beofre staring. Each one has scored the bore on startup and is now scrap. WTF? I never had this problem with Stihl! I'll never buy Husky again.

I thought it was Elder in which resides the spirit of the Hag goddess. Yew will burn superbly and lights quickly due to the oils. I'd advise thin rings to ease splitting- think 'cubes' rather than rectangles for your logs.

Is there an overrun clutch in the mechanism somewhere then?

Begs the question, what trade suppliers having been bumped for a part of the £8m would be willing to do business with the Pheonix company?
-
Sorry mate, you can’t come in unless you’ve got a tie. I mean grab!

Are there exemptions for work trucks etc?

Topical thread. Went out for a mates birthday last night. Didn’t join the table to eat (thankfully). so ordered a round. One pint of London pride, large glass of red wine and an alcohol free beer. 21 ****************ing quid.

Loaders are a pain in the arse to strap in those trailers, the side lashing rings are all too high.

With a cab as well that's a brilliant price. Grab and rotator also well worth the money as you say. Will move with you to your next machine with just a new headstock. What's totally mental is that I paid £14k for a Hyundai 1.7t in 2017! You chose to buy at a very good time indeed, dealers are desperate to shift stock particularly Chinese.

What kind of money was that? It looks like it’s already more than earning its keep That’s an impressive sized stem to be lifting with a sub 2t machine 👍🏻

A bit perplexed by the tax on a new landcruiser. . .

And AI spambots can fk right off! -
Mechanisation is the way forward, I've always said it!
-
What’s causing the bolts to shear? Should be easily fixed. It’s not like the hydraulic pump has shit itself in the first week, it’s teething issues. From the way you’re going off on one it doesn’t sound like you’ve bought tons of new machines as you claim. This is a minor issue. You should try a Bobcat or Antonio Carrarro if you want issues!

Ideal, post some pics when you get it working.

Looking for flail for small tractor

Customers field by a stream. I was exceptionally thankful for my new tractor with a cab, I can tell you! -

The one in my photo is a cheap Chinese one. Farmtech supplies. I added the push bars for reverse drive., plus a pto clutch. bloody great swing back blades underneath. It’s taken some serious stick, more than you’ll ever give it I should think. -

I second this. Twice as quick with a single rotor topper than a flail and in some fairly thick stuff too. Especially in thick non brassy stuff like long grass- that slows flails right down. runs great on reverse drive too.

Just too used to a digger which never struggles!

Does your crane struggle to slew with a load on even slightly steep ground? Mine does.

Your boss is taking the piss, especially down south.
