  1. The offers on the table mate, but I want a go on your Husky! I'm sure they're both pretty much the same- half the Stihl is Husky technology anyway
  2. This might help: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/26020-new-stihl-strimmers-i-didnt-think-they-could-improve-them-so-much.html Fuel economy is much improved over the 450. Mine are now 3 years old and going strong. I'd be open to trying a Husky though.
  3. Husky 236 or Stihl MS181 is about all you'll be able to stretch to, and either will outperform any chinese saw. Case closed.
  4. Ongoing SEO for a local business is a waste of money.
  5. Link?
  6. There's your answer...
  7. How is a 1.5t grab too big??
  8. It gets worse, it says he was actually felling trees! The GPs were just trying to improve the gene pool. What a full blown retard.
  9. It was a tipper? What a waste.
  10. Man up and tell the wife to do it...
  11. It's because it's got 'Arb' in front of it, so it's OK to just double the usual RRP. Same as the 'Arb' muck truck thingy.
  12. Indeed. Nobody complains about foxes being shot, why is a giant black and white weasel so bloody different?
  13. Common scam. I would just stop the direct debit- you can usually do this online, and view all other active direct debits whilst you're at it.
  14. You what? Single sided machines are trimmers for cutting fine stuff like yew and cypress hedges. They have faster gearboxes and less gap between teeth. Double sided have slower gearboxes and more torque and even if it didn't it would be just as powerful as the single varient. That Echo HC-331ES is a single sided trimmer machine, and no good for farm hedges. The dead givaway is the plastic catcher for all the tiny little bits of leylandi it's designed to cut.
  15. If you take that to a scrappy, they'll stick it straight on eBay. Do it yourself.
  16. FFS man, you need to cancel that. If you're paying £30 a month it's a contract. Read the small print. I warned you that they would flat out lie to you about 30-day contracts. Also they will stiff you by adding extra charges for 0800 numbers etc. GiffGaff is totally pay as you go. You are completely in control.
  17. Ay, and that will eventually kill the gears doing that size constantly if it's hard wood.
  18. It might be 38mm between teeth, but you won't cut though anything approaching that size with either machine.
  19. We're talking about >£1000 mowers...
  20. I can't believe NFU wouldn't help. If your mum is with them it should be simple (they usually don't quote for under-25 unless a parent is already using them) Were you dealing with the local branch or the national call centre?
  21. That's great and I have a similar arrangement. But do yourself a favour and fit a vibration alarm. Then the gurkhas can catch them before they even have a chance to cause damage to the rest of the unit. Your internal PIR only calls in the cavalry once scum are inside. A bit short sighted if you don't mind my saying.
  22. Not possible, sorry. You'd have to fit a tank at a minimum.
  23. Good on ya Steve. They say a new habit takes around 30 days to become the norm. How long were you Paleo for?
  24. ^ that's the one I was on about, nice one Johny. Ideal for chainsaws etc. Much stronger than a container. Your right about onFoot's alarms. He needs to install vibration sensors for a first line of defence.
  25. A 6ft shipping container will be a squeeze to get into a garage! Plus the sides are very thin and easily cut. Best off with a metal strongbox, there were a few links to some on eBay on here recently.
