  1. Would be nice to have a choice or at least have some input. I am self employed now and have a couple of saw I am coaxing along which where ones I bought second hand when I started out. I bought a 550 new in 2012 and its as shiney now as the day I bought it! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. I signed the petition and now get regular, spam, emails asking me to sign other petitions. Tryed unsubscribing but everytime it says server error! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app
  3. Self employment is the way. Your never going to get any of the cream while your working for someone else. Even if you start off working for yourself on the weekends. Business will soon build. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app
  4. Yep I second that. Spread your kit around. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app

  6. sounds like coil to me but hey i'm no expert.
  7. i changed form oregon 2 stroke oil to the stihl hp ultra (the green one) and i have found it loads better. but my partner (thats a holly not a big john) recons it gives her a head ache as its a funny smell.
  8. i have my kit spread around over a few locations so fingers crossed i dont cleared out all at once
  9. I had my 52 plate isuzu since december and the turbo went the other day. Cost 600 for the turbo and was one of only two available and that was from the main dealer. ( the turbo Is obsolete as is the repair kit) hope fully this one will last. Truck is gutless. You wouldnt know it had a turbo anyway. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app
  10. I made a website myself to the cost of £30. I would say it looks profesional and well worth the money. I just watched a youtube vid and followed it. Easy peesey.
  11. seems to be a lot of people with bad luck at the moment... hopefully the tides will change! glad to hear everyone was alright. on the plus side... shiney new kit!!!

  13. yeah all ways a minority that spoil it for the majority!
  14. i have never been one for guns. but love watching dogs work their quarry. my boarder or mother in laws lakeland and 'border lakeland russel' would sort most fox problems. game keeper nr me found a dog and a vixen tied... the terriers soon dispatched them!!!

  18. a chap i used to work for had the vermer one with the log grab and a bucket. fantastic piece of kit. Was narrow aswel so could fit through most gate ways. We used to carry ply sheets to put down on the lawn, making a runway, to stop damage to the lawn.

  21. Hello there. I am looking for a person to help out on the odd day here and there. Must have the basic groundsman/ woman tickets. Not looking for the best climber here as you would be mostly based on the ground although there will be climbing opportunities if said person was aspiring to be an arborist. I am based on the eastern edge of (TA23) exmoor so somebody near would be preferable. Please email: [email protected] if you are interested. Thanks for reading Mark b
  22. i think they are used a lot by horse people.
  23. £500!!! shows what ya mate thinks of you:lol: same as above, heavy, hard to find parts and probably vibrates like my birds handbag!
  24. not had mine for long. mpg is any where between 25-35- i drive a lot of steep windy roads mind. i do give mine some abuse- like having 8 foot lengths of cord hanging of the back and stacked up as far as i dare. its not a speed machine but i think the engine will go on. its hard for me too comment on towing because i am always up and down fairly steep hills so have to drop it down a few cogs to get up. went up an 18%er just now with two 8ft retangular bales on my ifor and was in second gear doing nearly 30 all the way. i think the main down fall on these is rust so have a really good look underneath before you buy. mine must have been sat for a while as every nut seems to be welded up with rust and i have a siezed caliper and coroded brake pipes. i paid 2250 for mine with 90k on the clock- damn sight cheaper than any other pick up in the same condition and milage. . serving me well so far.
  25. me me me i got one mine is an 02 plate 2.5td.
