£7k plus VAT I think.

I’ve recently just got an FSI B22, would highly recommend that for a pedestrian grinder.
-
Has anyone had, used, or even have any info on these. Didn’t know if it would be a good option for a work truck.
-
Here’s their card. If you email Mark he will be able to send you some pictures of work they’ve done and answer any questions you have. They’re based in Northamptonshire but stay on site while the work is being done.

Outside to in its softwood cladding, baton, tyvex, Osb, the a 6”x2” framing and stud work with celotex, plaster board and plaster. They build the whole thing on site from scratch.

It’s 7.5m wide by 22m long. Largest size the can come under mobile home planning if you need to make life easier with the planners. We’ve got two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The one we went to look at before agreeing to the build had 4 bedrooms, 1 very large double and three single and they were still a pretty good size.

We had this built this year. Two blokes built it from scratch in 12 weeks. Cost just over £100k, but that full finished with central heating, two bathrooms, kitchen etc.... ready to move into.

Have any of you bought saws through Robin and had any problems with customs in the UK?
-
Someone posted about this a while ago and he had fitted these to his transit

I went through this a few years ago. Started out with a pickup, but couldn’t get enough stuff in the back so I bought a tipping trailer with caged sides. Could carry loads but couldn’t always get it down narrow drives and made the pickup/trailer combo very long so also couldn’t park in some drivesEnded up selling both and buying a mk6 transit tipper with a chip box on the back. A little wider than the pickup and can’t go off road but for 95% of my work that’s fine. Have had it 5 years now and wouldn’t be without it. You’ll never have the one perfect vehicle for everything, just need to work out what work your doing and get the one that works the best for that.

Another vote for FSI. Haven’t used the predator 460. I’ve just bought an FSI B22, sold my predator 450 and upgraded. Very happy with it as a machine and I like alot of the design features on it.

I’ve finally got round to picking up a load of the 5l cans from our local supplier. After another week of choking on fumes I’d had enough. What do you do with the empty cans, can they be recycled? I've also bought an Echo Dcs 2500t, lovely little saw to use. Would highly recommend it.

Find a good firm locally that you can do some days with. Will teach you the right/wrong ways to do things. Should also give you a good idea of what bits you want/need to buy. Start adverting and pick up jobs as you go while doing 2-3 days a week with someone else.

I’m looking into changing over to Aspen and just wondering if it’s as simple as just filling the saws up and running them? Someone i did some subby work for said he had to have all his carbs rebuilt and saws retuned to get the to run on aspen. Just checking what actually needs to be done. Currently running echo 2511 tes & Wes, stihl 200t, echo 501, stihl ms361 & 461, and echo 8002, stihl bg86, and echo hedge cutter and pole saw. cheers all

The company I use to work for had one on the tractor. It was always painfully slow at chipping and seemed to never be quite right. I’m sure it’s not completely the chippers fault probably the way it was set up. But either way...... didn’t like it.
-
Does anyone have or has anyone driven on of the new shape iveco tippers (not the 4x4 one)? Just wondering about positives or negatives with them.
-
Normally pump it up to between 80-100psi. I think it’s a 16oz throw bag but I’ll have to check
-
Could you not use the manual tip until you get a new remote sorted?
-
When I enquired a could of months ago Jas P Wilson had a TP175 with a 35hp engine for sale. May still have it
-
If they are the same as crafters I drove a friends one, was really nice to drive and pulled really well. Just carried weight really really badly. No matter how little weight you had in it it always looked overloaded.
-
Are the man 3.5t tippers not just rebranded crafters?
-
From experience I wouldn’t have the petrol engine, if you can get it ordered fairly soon you’ll still be able to get one with the 35hp Kubota diesel. Failing that it will be the 24hp Kubota Diesel engine.

Timberwolf are doing very good subsidised finance on new machines. And you can get a 5 year warranty on the new machines. And places like spectrum plant have some very good used ones which have been through the workshop.
