  1. They are a bag of turd, after a lot of years running ifor's I will never buy another. Buy mine if you like, tbh i'll be glad to get shot of the horrible flimsy thing.
  2. True good friends are a very rare thing Users are far more common You are a mate whilst you are doing him a favour, sell the stuff to someone who appreciates your efforts, let him go moan to someone else, with friends like that who needs enemies.
  3. You sure on that price ? Edit: beaten to it
  4. Try Graham at GB farm services 01206 250990, I am sure he is/was a dealer for these, he should be able to sort you out.
  5. Mine is a big pile of steaming turd, useless for towing at high loads (too high geared) and fairly juicy, 09 plate and already has rust coming on the sills and other places, they are cheaper than most other makes for a reason imo. If you are going for one then go for an earler one (pre 06 I believe) they were a really good workhorse and a half decent tow motor, although the legal tow capacity was a fair bit lower than the later ones. For me the only thing it's any good for is a comfortable drive, as a workhorse it's a pile of crap.
  6. It's 20 cubic metres a day without a licence, you are also allowed to store that 20 cubic metres once extracted over any period of time and use it for irrigation purposes. Bores can be a bit of a pain though, we had one on one farm that was 100mtrs deep and had become brackish, it was going to cost nearly £20k to put in a reverse osmosis system to make it useable again, would have been cheaper to sink a new bore at a different depth however there was no gaurantee that that would be any different
  7. PM sent re price We are based in Essex Rolawn Gone ? i'm not aware of that.
  8. 560 sq/mtrs needed If you don't have a regular supplier in mind give us a phone if you want, we can deliver to there. advertisment over
  9. they are very good but would you really want to burn it
  10. Roundup then just rotavate the whole lot in with a decent rotavator, after a few passes there will be hardly anything left of the old lawn, any bits left just rake out as you are leveling it Saves the agro of removing and getting rid of the old lawn, and that will be a lot to get rid of.

    work Essex.

    We get the occasional turf laying job out that way if you are interested if we need a hand ?
  12. some duetz have a filter in the lift pump, some have a filter in the banjo bolt on the inlet pipe on the injection pump, have you checked that ?
  13. The question has to be asked "what was a 2 year old doing with mummy's ipad in the first place" Not good for it though.
  14. I have been waiting a week for a price from hinowa uk for a HP1500 forklift. They are still waiting for a price from the factory. Pretty crap way to do business imo and don't think i'll be buying one on the strength of it.
  15. Here is mine, a 2006 yamaha xvs650, bought this one last year with a genuine 96 miles on the clock, not what i'm used to riding and although I like it I think I might get the 1100 version. It has had the pillion seat removed and a set of slashcut fat pipes fitted since this photo.

  18. shared on my fb page Hope he can get it back
  19. Just read some of those Anyone want to buy an 09 plate ranger
  20. I enquired the other day just out of interest how much a new one was (don't want another) and apparently if you spec it with factory fitted towbar it now comes with different gear ratios to one's without.
  21. I am interested in this mainly for the undercarriage for another project, but a couple of questions if you don't mind. How are the tracks adjusted, and from looking at the pics are the track rollers actually running on bearings ? Looking at the pics I think some areas might need a bit of strengthening if they are going to last.
  22. Rear spring leafs snapping was a common problem on the older ones when used a lot for towing, something to do with the ammount of flexing and the paint finish of the springs, replacement sorted it out though.
  23. Earlier ones were lower geared and although a bit juicy made decent motors for towing and good work horses, later ones (not sure from what year but think somewhere around 07) had higher gears ratios and are frankly crap for towing, the very latest have had the ratios played with again and are apparently much better. I personally hate using my 09 plate ranger for work, which is mainly towing.
  24. buy it online in 25 litre drums, it can be got for about £70 a can, but if you go to a local motor factors they can probably do something similar for far less. You don't dilute it
