  1. The order came from frjones Some of the stuff was not in stock. So it came in 3 delivers 1 got signed for the other 2 just left outside. When they was a person in the house both times.
  2. That is true BUT The safe place is in an outbuilding not dumped outside for all to see. No card left they was some one in the house and he did not knock. The driver did the same 2 days before. This is not over.
  3. After replacing 2 grands worth of stolen machinery, the replacement gets stolen. Beware that if you have an app on your phone by a delivery company and have it set to leave in a SAFE place this means the delivery driver will dump your parcel any where they like. Not knock on your door or leave a card and you will be blamed and out off pocket. Dont use the app and end up driving 20 miles to pick your parcel up. The supplier uses this delivery company and should be half to blame as you will receive no help from them
  4. In October 2018, I had a 22 inch on demo. It would be replacing our hondas. I was impressed with the speed and quality of the cut so made the dealer an offer for the demo machine and also ordered a new 19 inch with blade brake. The Demo gear box machine was faulty and the 19 inch from new was also faulty. I returned them both and was fully refunded.

  6. we do long wet long grass, docks, nettles, bramble, ivy all with cord (sthil orange yellow and black line) no problem with the Stihl fs410 all the power you need and will run all day every day no problem. we have used Kawasaki big and small and are good for the money but I prefer the sthil for all day uses hired an old husky once did not like it not tryed the newer stuff yet.
  7. best machines we use are fleet. if you phone them for a price ask if they have any reconditioned units for sale about half price with new battery and pump 12 months warranty. Initial marking out takes time and best not to burn the lines in in case you make a mistake burn them in on the first over marking when your happy how it looks. football rounders rugby javelin throws training throws are straight forward. running tracks can be tricky if its got to fit a tight area. We have just finished marking out for the athletics season at the schools we do. one needed a 6 lane 400 meter trackwith 1500 and 800 meter curve, relay boxes different colours, 100 meter straight down one side and numbers on the lanes. it looked good ! pitch care is a good website
  8. we use line marker paint what we use for marking pitches out with. You dont need much in it.
  9. Self employed climber needed, few days work - Halifax phone 07718887499 Michael
  10. Get a used scag 48, you can pick them up for the same money as that billy goat and will be a way better machine for the job . ours will destroy long wet grass, no problem or keep short grass neat.
  11. we have a cheap Chinese one which came with the tractor it did its job well but has now retired to make way for a major 1.4 which was not cheap but does a good job and is very strong
  12. we have a few of these pro mulchers there not bad. leave the pull cord down in the engine as it rubbers on the plastic and frays the front wheels wear bad due to the crap design, to the point they will not turn unless the engine is driving them. engines are very good easy to start first or second pull. ours are about 2 years old we use them for private and comical sites any where its a rougher cut and a bigger machine will not get in. They get used most days
  13. We had one and on banks /verges is was no good, we had it stuck a few times. on flat / level land cutting every two weeks it did a good cut quick but would not have one again. [ame] [/ame]
  14. We have a couple of double wheeled 48inch scags rear discharge and would recommend them with the Kawasaki engines. We have tried them with mulching blades but did not think much of them so went back to standard. we use them on grass cutting every 3 weeks and they do a very neat quick job and get places a ride on would not. rough cut jobs which have not been cut for weeks / months and they still do a good cut. banks and slopes you will slip before the machine does. using the gears you can cut long wet grass They are not cheap to run been petrol, I have never seen a diesel walk behind scag or ferries?
  15. We work on a number of schools they like it if you do the work on weekends, holidays last job of the day when all the children have gone The bigger schools I have quoted for and work for all want to see ra+ms, crb checks, spraying certificates correct insurance if we get the job(grounds maintenance). I would think tree work would be the same.
  16. kzj70 3.0 toyota swb. It has a 4 tonne winch on the rear with a the kill switch in the cab, 35s mud tyres bfg km2 90 percent tread,re geared diffs, water proof led lights, one off ally drop side / flat back all work done by professionals. steel front bumper and box section sills which are jack able service history dating back to 20,000 to present, currently on sorn only selling due to lack of use. this is a real head turner. must go! best offer buys it. new glow plugs timing belt front axle has been rebuilt diff rebuilt new fuel lines new brake lines recent new springs on the front and more 4500 ono michael 07718887499
  17. we have 2 mulch mowers viking MB4RTP they start easy run smooth not had many problems other than the front drive wheels sticking on when the machines is not turning them. not had a proper look yet hopefully just want cleaning out or new bearings. they will be 2 years old and get some hammer.
  18. compact tractor with flail. one man walk in front looking for stuff which could break the flail 2 day job. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/landscaping/76917-flail-mower-hire.html
  19. Hello I maintain a large garden with a large holly hedge which over the last few years is only growing at the top. the bottom 5/6 foot has died off leaving the top 3/4 foot which looks terrible. I also prune 5 or 6 individual specimens as shown in the picture a couple which look like the same variety as the hedge are also going the same way. any advice would be much appreciated I would say the hedge is best part of 50 years old
  20. the video link shows the type of stuff it will cut and a better idea of the finish which can be achieved using hammer blade flail.
  21. tractors a 3520 jd ,I think it is a chinese flail, hymari, which would not be my choice but it came in the deal i did with the owner of the tractor. I can not knock it, its done about 3 weeks solid work and its battered down everything we have drove it over. its found allsorts when cutting, bricks, stones, lumps of wood and its still works as it should. its about 350kg and 1.5 meter cut
