IF more than a two days since the transaction i would just leave it, Lots of scams going on at moment people saying its broke and not and then wont return, sending it back with parts stripped off and Cheap parts put on.

Just like to say the saw was out last week and ran a treat, it picks up instantly and pulls like a train through the timber. Had a good mix of timber as well some oversize larch which it just flew through and some big oak and chestnut which made me laugh when crosscutting at how much quicker it was. I would highly recommend spud for modding your saw:thumbup:

use save edge to knock out damage only then other file to finish or your chain wont last as long as are quite coarse compared to others. its what i find works best

Any cutters out there getting bitten the hell out of by bugs recently?? Anyone got any good preventions Steve

I knew the defender lovers would come to slate the jap hilux, mitsi, nissan etc but its run its course and is world renowned but things move on and we can argue till the cows come home, Ive owned loads of pickups to say the least including a defender and my opinion is hilux is my prefered choice and its never got stuck ever and i drive to the woods all day its just down to tyres!!!!

at last they have seen sense to get rid of it, maybe they made the latest ones too well so no one is needing repairs on them so profits dropped
-
heard there are a few which are problematic, if you can afford it get a ford raptor king cab:thumbup:
-
i would say take a l200 and a rodeo for a drive and compare, l200 seem to go through parts for no reason, rodeo build quality is good and comfy to drive
-
Ive had a few! only used a RR p38 diesel nothing newer ok for towing but problems with them are the airbag suspension and compressors have a shelf life not sure about new ones, new ford ranger is supposed to be a really good truck not sure bout towing
-
if i did lots of towing id get a landy but cab room and reliability are a problem, hilux are bomproof reliable had one for 4 years and only needed regular oil change and flew through all mots good off road, not great towing. mitsubishi tend to go through parts and engine probs on earlier models. navara avoid 02 to 04 plates as have dodgy engine. fourtrak are good but rust nissan patrol drink a lot. thats all i have experienced with 4x4s

steve collins replied to Woodworks's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
not being funny but seems the landowner is the only one making a profit with these prices being mentioned!! -

steve collins replied to plippy's topic in Employment
If there still stuck for a groundie I pretty much work all over kent thats if there interested Steve 07751057259 -
hilux are good allrounders but crap at towing! if you go for one get one with solid axles if you go off road alot if not any one will do.Defenders are good off road and tow extremely well but always seem to have something going wrong with them plus the cab is cramped. l200 are ok but dont seem to last as well being used off road. nissans are sweet, lots of power and space but yet to see the test of time going off road alot. fords are surprisingly good off road but lack some clearence and tow pretty well. To be honest whatever you pick choose wisely as all of them have there faults, just check they have service history, a sound engine and have not been abused. good luck
