  1. Anyone got a contact for a supplier of stakes and rods for riverbank stabilisation?
  2. I find with certain surfaces like sand, the turf tyres have the floatation but need more grip. Were I buying again, I'd probably go for the wide low profile agri type first. At least they're quick to change!
  3. That was my plan, but I’m wanting to get a third set too. The grass tyres are good but I think the ones you had on the hire machine will be most use most of the time. They are a bit like the multi one type in that they are a ‘low tread profile’ agri tread.
  4. We all know what a pikey looks like. He ain’t one.
  5. Well I've never seen one be much of a climber...
  6. And wait for the council to order you to replant!
  7. JCB were fine with me adding tree felling up to 30m.
  8. Take it out, clean up both surfaces with a stripping disc and reassemble with a good smear of copper grease.
  9. Looks like a perfect specimen.
  10. Good luck to him, at least he’s not a pikey. We all start somewhere.
  11. Just thinking of your chestnut odds and ends really. It's good burning wood for a log burner.
  12. @Johnpl315 has beech cord for sale, maybe some chestnut.
  13. JCB understand the nature of plant, and the fact that machinery is left on site overnight. They don't have bullshit clauses (or bullshitter salesmen) like Trust do.
  14. I spent years with shitty trolley jacks like the blue one. Then I bought the black one, I can’t remember what it cost but it’s worth every penny. Now I actually reach for a jack rather than a forklift.
  15. A credit card or two each side, tap it down and tighten. Simples.
  16. You sure don’t want to be flat rate if you are buying a lot of fencing materials!

    Jokes???

    Can you tell the difference? One is an aggressive denizen of the jungle, whose body parts are revered in some low IQ cultures for having supposed mystical powers. The other is just a tiger...
  18. I only came in here for the meme of a clown saying ‘I’ll cut your trees down for the wood…right after you mow my lawn for the dogshit’ Disappointed.
  19. You're more of a man than me, I like my 10' ramps! The rake looks great, drill the tops of the fork pockets for M16 and weld a nut on top. Then you can lock them in place with an M16 bolt.
  20. Usual generic Chinese machine with the same engine and drum as all the others. All the usual points and caveats apply. They are not legal to tow on the road, so unles you plan on doing a lot of towing it around big gardens etc, you might want to conside the other chassis design (trolley type) as they are narrower.
  21. It costs me around £300 interest per year, fixed for five years. That's how cheap money is at the moment.
  22. Don’t lease. Hire purchase so that you own it at the end. Five years finance at 2.3% flat rate is what I’m doing. there’s no security as such on the key start model either. It’s just a generic Honda ignition, you could start it with a screwdriver.
