And wait for the council to order you to replant!

JCB were fine with me adding tree felling up to 30m.

Take it out, clean up both surfaces with a stripping disc and reassemble with a good smear of copper grease.

Looks like a perfect specimen.

Good luck to him, at least he’s not a pikey. We all start somewhere.

Just thinking of your chestnut odds and ends really. It's good burning wood for a log burner.

@Johnpl315 has beech cord for sale, maybe some chestnut.

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.

JCB insurance are good for me.

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.

A credit card or two each side, tap it down and tighten. Simples.

You sure don’t want to be flat rate if you are buying a lot of fencing materials!

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...

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.

Why not both?

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.

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.

It costs me around £300 interest per year, fixed for five years. That's how cheap money is at the moment.

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.

Those blue drawers and shelves were won off a job yesterday! 😍 I have even more drawers the other side of the shot.
-
Welding a couple of bits of channel onto the chinky chipper to make it easy to pick up and move where we need it.
-
Nice! Welcome to the club mate. Lets see who can rack up the hours fastest! I'm on 32 hours currently.

Love it. Perfect partner to the E10, long narrow passageway to the materials. Sod using a dumper. I even managed to grade the stone out nearly perfect- did have flat concrete to start off on though!
-
Can't see that would challenge it in the slightest! Which loader do you run and what model shear are you considering?

Leaving it running isn't really what it needs. Generally it just needs a good thrash, 50mph in third up a hill sort of thing in order to clear out carbon from the exhaust system. It never hurts to run some decent (ie. not Redex) injector cleaner either- I add it to the bulk tank. If a motor is not used too often or only for running around, there's a few little things like this you need to do in order to get them through the MOT. Handbrakes for example- my Vito van needs a bit of enthusiastic handrake action on the way to the test centre otherwise the efficiency isn't enough. There's nothing wrong with the emmissions or the handbrake in this instance- both just need a bit of thrashing.
