    Does that also lubricate the chain with hydro?

    Its a great machine but as you pointed out cris the hotter the machine gets the less efficient the oil becomes. Plus with the health imprecations its just not right. I want a small machine to run alongside the Tajfun filling the same bag with large and small cord appeals to me i reckon you could do a cube every 4 mins with both machines. Yes you do have to top it up reg

    TY I've seen the grill and GF cutting field grass at a demo set up by someone without an interest in either machine trust the the GF unit is the one every manufacturer wants to emulate. If i was going to carry on id have one the grass cutting over here is changing its becoming more and more underpriced. We use to get £800 a month for a water board contract its now just been won by a rival for £425 Plus i would be worried sending out a 36 k mower with two student workers.

    I cope by knowing every time i fill a bag its 80 quid in my back pocket with two of us in the yard we do a lot of bags in a day. Yes i understand what you mean about variety but its still the same old same old yes jobs are what you make them but theres only so much satisfaction in cutting trees When landscaping you are creating a space for some they will show it off for others its a sanctuary getting in to the clients head and getting it just how they want it stops me from getting bored.

    First layer of defence should be a silent alarm followed by lots of things to slow um down. Advertise the fact as we'll if they think there's a chance of been caught they all move on to the next place on the list. Doesn't hurt to let the local scum no that it's going to cause a whole load of trouble.

    If you go for a big machine you need big cord or it's not worth it. If I'm putting 15inch through the 12 way on the takfun you can do a bag in less than 10 mins start putting first thinings through it and your down to 3 bags an hour. I'm going to get another farmi for sub 8 inch it's got to be the quickest on smaller stuff. Just wish it had chain oil not hydro as breathing that in can't be good. Log sales are dead got 1 bag tomorrow

    Ive started a job that was completed by a rival company 5 years ago most of the plants failed. They planted yew in an agricultural hedge shame theres livestock the other side. The patio was layed on sand and sunk in the middle the pond only ever stopped two 3rds full. There is lots of paths and walling that was done by one of the lads that know work for me that are good. This company charged 120k for this work

    Fair play organised there Johny I've been slack as most of the timber in the yard was harvester cut and been down a while.
  20. Mortimer Firewood
    One of the jobs Im on at the moment the turf must of failed due to been payed on poor soil so they just turfed over the top of it

    Jessy ohh wait that makes me a hypocrite
  22. Mortimer Firewood
    Existing soil could be used under the turf with a suitable membrane new soil should have been bought in thats heat treated for beds suitable membrane and 100mm of bark but this costs most developers are behind schedule and just throw any old crap in the garden. Makes me work as when the house is sold the garden looks awful and they want it redoing. Picked up 3 jobs this season from reasonably new houses with very poor gardens.
