A big bushy 10/15m leylandii? So that's 10m as it's a homeowner height estimate 🤣 'Reduced' on one side? It's going to look shit whatever you do, I'd get a gardener or fresh out of college tree surgeon to do it with a decent A-frame ladder and extension plus a polesaw. No need for MEWPS.

If you are looking at a car derived van, just get a car! Apart from anything else, you pay the car tax rate (often zero for an 'eco' model rather than full whack £245 a year for the same thing without windows.

Do any of you dry logs in containers made of Weldmesh Panels?

It works just fine for a cheap bulk log store. mind you, it was better when panels were a tenner not £35 each!!! -

There are scaffold poles driven down the sides for support, which also support a scaffold tin roof easily once filled. Method in the madness 😉

Bit of artificial grass - if you like that sort of thing

Even a sterile garden like that will have plenty more work down the line...those softwood sleepers will be rotted out in five years! -

I’ll let you know in a few months? Done a couple for customers recently, the theory is sound. More airflow than just in a pile.

Another foreign holiday? Who says there’s no money in Arb? 🤣🤣 What you can’t see in that photo is the pile of chip it’s sat on!

The Revolution wheel looks like this, right? That’s very similar, with the same teeth, as the wheel on the PTO grinder I have. I thought it cut well!

Used OKO both on and off-road types for a while (75l total) and not particularly impressed.

The only mention of a grinder on this thread talks about replacing the main bearings… with bearings matching the number written on the original bearing. Because, guess what?- bearings are manufactured by a whole host of factories to a recognised standard! Bearings and belts are the easiest thing on any machine to source from a supplier other than the main dealer, as they have standards and numbers written on them relating to this. bellend yourself.

Nor does the stihl bg56

How are you thinking a failed throttle cable could cause any damage? A cable is a cable. Replacing the cable is not the same as removing the two-handle spool valve on a log splitter. By your reasoning, surely your insurance is invalid if you fit new grinding teeth yourself. What about changing the oil yourself? Or even filling with petrol yourself? What if you fit a new petrol line badly and cause an explosion? Or maybe you don't fit a new petrol line and that causes an explosion? It's not an issue that needs to be worried about, frankly. If you are such an idiot that you'd refit parts so as to make the machine dangerous to use (if that's even possible!) then you're probably enough of an idiot to pay Jo Beau prices! 🤣

GreethTeeth are the round ones, right? What are Razor Teeth?

I have both the Husky and the Stihl. I reckon the Echo is a touch more powerful (a bit like the Husky 135 vs Stihl 181). Not much in it with the blowers, but the Stihl is a touch more ergomic (and much more so on the saw). With both blowers, when warming up after starting, put your hand over the nozzle end. This prevents the fan from actually moving air, and you can rev them up to warm up much faster. Never had a BG86 spring fail on me, and I must have had a dozen over the years.

The thread title is ‘jo beau ripping off their customers’

Generic Chinese tat.

Ample. My twenty ton splitter is very quick at 50litres/min

All done. Two and a half hours from loading to unloading, including cutting down the stumps. They were (of course) much larger than they looked in the picture… 🤣 I quickly gave up ‘driving’ the tractor, and instead operated it from the side with the handbrake gently on which afforded me a decent view and a fair degree of cover (see pic) Wouldn’t want to be using it all day but ideal as a relatively profitable add-on, as most of my tree work is large gardens. The grinder cost less than £2k. Id say you definitely want a hydrostatic tractor for this. Stalled it twice in case you were wondering (and let’s face it, you probably were!) Didnt mean to post the digger pic but there’s a laugh.

I came in here to suggest that whatever disc people used, a cordless grinder with speed control is worth its weight in gold when you are working in and under things (such as teeth on grinder) where kickback has you right in the line of fire. I have a Makita brushless with speed control. If Milwaukee do one I’d go with that- they are outclassing makita in the cordless grinder stakes currently.

They went with the £320 plus vat, want to keep the grindings for mulch.

You are such a fkin copycat! Resawing an oak sleeper was the first job for mine! Great minds think alike. Or rather- quick, what’s the nearest timber to play with?! 🤣🤣
-
I’ve had two people contact me looking for work in the last two days. That’s a sure sign something is up. Especially given how hard it’s been to get workers over the last year.

Came in here hoping for pictures of great tits, was disappointed.

Jesus, your scrap is worth even more than mine! I used shorted bolts to weld to the frame- seems pointless having the frame four inches above the subframe.

Having a DPF/Adblue delete is a fantastic reason to have a 'full' remap if you are already thinking about upping the power. Luckily all mine are too old. Have you been for an MOT with the delete and was it all OK?
