I can't see you get much more with the 507 to be fair- all the add ons will be pricey and look pants. What use is a 60cm 7.5hp flail mower?
-
My quote had extra counterweight ticked? Hope I’ve actually got it!! Maybe you could post a pic of your arse? I mean, the e27s arse....

I echo MB re zero turn. Never again, especially for arb/land clearance work- it's never that tight, else you'd be using a micro digger (I don't mind my micro being ZTS!) Plus as said, they are so much more tippy. Another vote for E27 too. Additional counterweight is standard UK spec (I think) and there's really not that much overhang. It's also got more power than the E27z, which is important for things like a flail. Nice dumper. Is it yours? I bought a Yamaguchi 1.8t tracked dumper last year, bit smaller than that but quite a lot less money and perfect for most of my jobs.

Does sound like a shit design with a needless weak point built in.

You can buy non marking tracks. Not sure which sizes but they are about for applications like factories etc.

I don't run chippers, but I usually equate such weasel words from a dealer with a certain other chipper dealer...?
-
Better clarify what condition you want them in?

Which forestry boot for working on steephillsides ?

The one that fits you best with the best ankle support in my experience. -
Tracked MEWPS tend to lift higher and can fit through far tighter spaces. With the initial investment being similar, it's a no brainer for me. Still can't justify one though.?
-
So which dealer told you that?
-
Bloody horrible trees. If pruned they sucker like mad, but it's all spindly crap and no cover at all over winter. I'd get rid.
-
So? We're all going to get shafted royally for this, might as well have the free lube. I bet there's plenty on here sitting pretty in a house that's doubled in value that they bought with a self cert mortgage from back in the day.
-
Every three weeks? ?
-
I like that.
-
Even with a twin axle caravan on the back?
-
Five miles or five minutes, whichever comes first ?
-
Dumb question but why not get an extra long PTO shaft and stick it through a hole the wall?
-
Nice one thanks **************** that, it’s not rocket science. ID the bearing and replace it yourself. GreenMech dealers (on here at least) have proven themselves to be somewhat lacking in mechanical expertise.

Nominal capacity doesn't really have much bearing upon an engines gross HP these days. I have no experience of that model but I really can't see that the 1.9l engine would be anything less than super stressed towing 3.5t- it'll probably rely upon twin turbos and all sorts of gadgets to make its 125PS. The 3l makes only 25PS more but has a lot more CC behind it. 150PS is barely enough to tow 3.5t happily plus loaded truck in my experience, and with previous Isizu models the more powerful models command a premium secondhand. Seems simple until you realise that the larger engine has both ad blue and a DPF, whereas the smaller engine has just 'Lean NOX Trap'. I have no idea what this is, it might stress the engine further to achieve emmisions as per my first paragraph or it may be a a big step forward in simplifying emmisions control. Not an easy choice!

I really can't see why you'd bother repairing something like that. Donate it to your local steam museum, the volunteers there would love a weekend project!

You’ll have to come over for a coffee soon mate. I’m closer than you think ?

Efficient strimming is mainly in the hips and knees in my experience.

Same, but the whole MTD is a bit of a cluster****************.

Consider a pro clearing saw such as the FS460 if you need a 'brushcutter' rather than a 'strimmer'. A world of difference in comfort and productivity. I personally couldn't recommend anything with a 4-mix engine, such as the FS131. But yes, the combi tool version with a strimmer head would be pretty much identical to use as the strimmer version. I also don't rate jet fit- to wasteful. We use a 4-way head with 2.7mm cord for heavier growth. Double the cords means in effect half the wear on each individual cord, and I prefer this to a 2-way head with thicker cord.
