  1. How wide is that grab when open need to get one for my loader.
  2. If you run a tracked machine you will need ply to run on lawns as it will rec it. My wheeled loader will run all day across lawns with no marks or very little which means no ply to carry about and lay down, all down time at start of job and finish. I asked a lot of my customer when I was looking at buying loader would they what a tracked machine running about on there lawn the answer was NO so decide wisely by for buying.
  3. No No loppers along edge, Great job on laurel hedge steve.
  4. After running a small wheeled loader for about 8 months would not be without it, but would not run tracked machine my self.
  5. I do not own one but if you want a price give master dryers a ring.They deliver all over Britain.
  6. Yes why not 16in bar cuts 3-4 bits at a time and saw sits nice in hedge when not being used.
  7. Thanks I had trimmed this for the last 3 years was a pain as its 14ft across the top and the side with grass lawn has a ditch, but now will just have edge of the top to trim. Weapon of chose for that type of hedge is a Stihl ms230 with 16in bar.
  8. If you need to cut in both directions you can with the Tiermec TS series ..
  9. A neighbour near me delivers these for Master driers they fit avants and multion and you get more reach and height https://www.masterfarm.co.uk/machine/tifermec-hedge-cutter/.
  10. They are not if they swerve to miss something and land up in a ditch and hit a tree in a tractor and have no seat belt its going to hurt. My brother put tractor in ditch last year to miss a car which was being driven to fast. Hit knee so hard on dash dislodge dials in dash and hit his head on windscreen landed up with big bump on his head. Tractor is only 30kmph not 40 or even 50kmph.
  11. Conifer topping yesterday neighbour let us through it in there garden as it was grass, owners side was flower border, then cleared up this morning took Giant 204 loader made quick work of moving wet brash as it rained over night.
  12. And you backed up for that idiot I would of sat it out till he got his boss to turned up,
  13. Do not just look give it a good test drive, if possible hitch it up to something heavy to give it a good test.
  14. Looking at picture front edge is straight and back has creased if rotor and roller straight I would cut out bent bit and replace with new and maybe add extra plate.
  15. Have you looked at https://en.jake.fi/95 made to fit most tractors.
  16. You may be right if pulled by VOSA. What makes it any different from any other lorry with Hiab apart from being 4x4.
  17. Nice bits of kit if you have work for them. Matty just buy big trailer 18ton gross is trailer limit.
  18. Just buy a jar of Colemans mustard will make a sandwich HOT.
  19. Just leave a carabiner on end of rope quicker still for groundy just clip on what ever you need if some thing a problem to clip on just use a strap loop.
  20. Reef knot to tie off bandage is good to learn.
  21. Why would you want a petrol chipper with that capacities, Petrol at mo is £1.15-£1.18 a litre and gas oil is 38p-45p a litre.
  22. Cut a hedge last week and was not happy with the condition of it any ideas what it got.
  23. I have a Husqvarna 250rx which I need to fit a shredder guard to anyone know which one fits as you can not buy one off the shelf that will by.
  24. All that will happen is some thing will go bang and it will not be branch you are cutting.
  25. Why not cut on to sheet and then feed in to chipper, I chip 99% of my hedge cutting jobs and the other 1% leave on site for customer to burn.
