reported it to ebay as soon as they appeared, not been pulled yet and tbh they don't really care it appears. Someone poor person will probably get ripped off, bet they would soon put a stop to it if it lost them money. But the bugger cancelled my £75k bid on the 190 case

I tried one of the smaller avant's and didn't rate it at all for pushing into heaps of materials, it just didn't have the pushing power to get a decent bucket full. I used to own one of the very early larger kramer loaders (still borrow it now and then) and it's a very well built powerful piece of kit. Wish I knew what the optimum handler is

With friends like that who needs enemies ? Tell them to go find some another friend to do their favours for them. My old boss always used to say "I have a shed full of favours"
-
what's with the different colour, were some rolled up for a few days ? For cutting we use quick blade change stanley knifes and buy blades in bulk packs.
-
I was considering going for this myself but have a million other things going on atm and it will just sit about. May be of interest to some trekkasaw not long to go though
-
Blimey I am impressed with their response, called me back 5 mins after I contacted them on their website, very helpful.
-
I am having the same problem with boxer, tbh I wouldn't deal with them now, if they are that bad at giving a price I dread to think what getting parts is like. Thanks for the offer but a bit far to come. I think I will get a demo booked, mostly it will be working a power rake anyway.
-
Is that the little 2 series ? I have one of these on my possible list, as it is narrower than anything else out there and by quite a bit aswell, only thing is they lift bugger all compared to the others.
-
Having spoken to Dean today about these, Bandit have decided not to go into production with them.
-
ha mine seemed to know it all
-
My seed rep was a bit surprised when I asked for a bag of clover seed, much less hassle than grass.
-
Depending on how big an area, raking, scarifying or treatment, ferrous sulphate works well, but not sure where you would get it. Normally caused by bad drainage so it would help to aerate the soil, usually spiking or coring. Edit: beaten to it

Are BT responsible for maintaining their lines to be kept clear?
scraggs replied to SteveA's topic in General chat
That's what I thought and I know it used to be the case, but they said if there was cable damage within the boundary then it would be charged for. -

That was the case, however I was informed a few weeks ago when my dads line went out that the wire from the boundary line in is now your responsibility. -
Such a shame that there appears to be no manufacturers of mini skidsteers in the UK, unless someone knows different ?
-
I do a bit, stopped doing it for years but started again last year recently done a muntons fruit cider for the boss and a betterbrew pilsner for me (nearly all gone), next on the list is st peters cream stout. Very satisfying even if it isn't full blown homebrew
-
Thanks for the offer I may well take you up on that depending on when Les is coming down. We have some fairly heavy clay around this area, how do they perform on clay soils ?, I know it's hard to get anything to do a decent job on clay.
-
There was a deal recently on the 420 at just under £12k new, I tried a nearly new one and I can see they would be a useful tool but it didn't have enough pushing power for me to want to buy one. But the 600 series are supposed to be a completely different beast but has a fair price tag as well, somewhere around the £22k mark from what I can remember for the 635.
-
Thats good to hear, thanks. I am quite looking forward to trying one out.
-
with the box rake can windrow the rubbish, a burrier puts the rubbish under the surface, I have had the bigger burriers and they only work properly if the conditions are perfect, so assume it would be pretty much the same with the smaller ones.
-
I am looking to make life easier for myself, and I am looking into getting a blec power box rake, has anyone ever used one and if you have what did you think of it ? What I am trying to do is cut down on the amount of time and physical effort put in to getting gardens ready to turf. Apparently I won't need to rotavate as it will do that aswell, I spoke to Les at blec today and he has offered to bring one down for me to demo, but then would it be best on a 2 wheel tractor or fit it on a mini tracked machine like a boxer which I have been considering getting one for a while, I need to keep things fairly narrow to get into back gardens, the boxer would be handy as I could use it to load topsoil up, but are they very good with a bucket on ? Another bonus with a boxer would be the ability to use it for laying big rolls.
-
It's a known ranger problem, though tbh I thought it was from 06 on
-
would be mad not to do the clutch whilst it's apart I would say that seems not a bad price for both fitted if it's a recon box with warranty.
-
Rangers are just a misery full stop Is the £1k for s/h box and clutch ?

From my researching into trackers you can find GPS based trackers with a rf signal scanner but it takes a while depending on how often it comunicates, or you can jam the signal
