    When they want a ballpark or ‘how much to cut a tree?’ Over the phone, they’ve usually had a load of quotes. I usually tell them straight away that I will not be the cheapest but will do the job properly and to beware of very low quotes with poor work/safety/iffy insurance cover etc. Seems to deter at least some of the time wasters.

    60psi sounds about right, or as hard as recommended by tyre manufacturer

    And there’s definitely no locking pin in place to lock up steering drawbar when not required. sorry. Had to ask?
  11. s o c
    Does the steering drawbar work when other spools are off? ( lever in neutral) on my tractor I have to turn off crane to operate hydraulic top link

    Has anyone had to replace overrun clutch on a Jensen a328 chipper? is it a Jensen part or is it common to any Agri machines? (There is no part number to be seen) thanks.

    Probably Has alternator fitted. LEDs wouldn’t be a big drain though

    That would have been ideal for going to the local discos back in the day ?

    Got remote from approved hydraulics in the end. Apollo brand , came from Holland. Friend who fitted for me well impressed with quality. first use today , makes a huge difference.

    If you google Valtra 6400, there’s one somewhere in Eastern Europe running a crane and trailer in a sawmill with 34000 hours done . For 25k you should find something that will be reliable for the next 8 years.. T the T130 is meant to be quite simple mechanically and they are not too axpensive .

    Nice compact setup but cab must be very tight for a swivel seat

    Also ‘The clash of the Robinia’ just doesn’t sound right ?

    I find the old flat file guide better with file that small. the stihl type is good with bigger files but smaller file will flex and become giddy once guide wears a bit. hope that makes sense

    My terms are 14 days but most either pay inside 30 or 30 days from end of month invoice received. we always send a statement after 30days and call them if they haven’t paid 2 weeks later. often wealthy people who are in business themselves will pay their bills as suits their business cash flow.

    How long is it overdue?
