  1. ***Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year*** Thanks for all the posts in 2013 you can always learn a lot on here
  2. Is that the normal ram position for a transit sort of cantiliver action? mine just goes up 4 sections
  3. My local tractor supplier has several Husky's on display. Has this one has been out for some time? couple of yrs? its a lot bigger in real life that that photo.
  4. Yes I have used V Power Diesel in my Transit Tipper, ran smoother, quieter, better overtaking acceleration, takes a couple of tanks to show difference from normal. However went for veg oil in the end 20% mix, same result.
  5. I have always rented an Industrial unit and lived apart from work in Berkshire and now Sussex. However! just moved into a house with yard and 4 outbuildings, in the process of moving everything home. Def good excuse for a sort out of stuff I never use. Mrs Groundie has promissed tea and bacon sandwiches if I am out in the workshop so I guess things might be looking up. Funny my fencing need looking at as well, little job for this weekend.
  6. Is Scots Pine ok? I felled a big one the other day, now cut into logs, each log is approx 16"" diameter and 16"" length. I could drop a few (its a small van) lol off for you? as I go past your area most Tuesdays
  7. I'll have a portion of 1,2,8 please with fried rice. I thought we all had to "go for it" and get the job done, maybe thats just the way I work, ALONE! but I agree with Stubby as I too am 61 its a 3pm finish
  8. A very sharp Axe for me unless I am using a "wood grenade", mind you a sledge is then the prefered weapon of coice.
  9. Great Minds H-A!
  10. Here is another web page Husqvarna 254 Parts List and Diagram - (1986-04) : eReplacementParts.com
  11. After main dealer servicing and prices.... I now have mine looked after by a local guy he has "Motor Engineer" after his name on his rubber stamp, enough said. Oh and a free courtsey car, not the £15 per day my Main Dealer wanted.
  12. They run a good hire shop near Cowfold, go past them twice a week, very helpful.
  13. When I was at Berks Collage of Agriculture doing my PA1 PA6A the instructor was telling us they ran grave digging courses, apparently the fastest digger in the country was a woman who lived near Oxford.....dug 8 graves in a day. (why do I retain all this knowledge I don't know)
  14. Arbrep Services Arbrep Services - Woodchipper Parts, Repairs and Maintenance - Hampshire UK Redwoods Welcome to Redwood UK for your professional woodchippers Hope you have a lot of fun with it!
  15. Its the original 2004 Battery so maybe times up on it. Anyway I drove to Halfords ( I'm worried now hahah) and the nice young man offered to fit it for me, decided against that and took the van home home for a bath, time for me to get my marigolds on. Must have gone pop when it was parked, never heard a thing.
  16. There is The Wood Centre & Composting Facility on the A22 in between Halland and Eastbourne, at a place called Whitesmith.
  17. Things you find under the bonnet, well I hope you don't find this anyway. Funny thing is the van ran ok, anyone else lost a battery like this?
  18. Found this one on West sussex Gumtree if any good? 2004 TOYOTA DYNA 300 D4D SWB DROPSIDE TRUCK WITH TAX AND MOT | West Sussex | Gumtree
  19. Thanks for the head's up on this was there this morning, back tomorrow! will keep an extra eye on my kit !
  20. I use a 20/50 every week mowing large estates, we do use a Kodiak 450 quad for pulling the Jensen 521 about off road, just manages that. Have also used a C800 at another site with trailer to move a compost heap so heavy stuff, that seemed to go ok, just goes a bit slow, can't be helped I guess. If you need a workshop manual go to: zielonemaszyny.pl/pdf/A2050-OPMANUAL.pdf‎
  21. Firstly these are nothing to do with me ok! Seen 3 diff jobs pop up on East Sussex Gumtree: 1) Tree Surgeons wanted for large woodland job 2) Coppice Work, free wood if you lay a 35mtr Woodland Path 3) 100yr old garden needs full restoration.

  22. Have had this discussion lately with other people on diff sites, not slowing down exactly but working at a steady rate doing a quality job, better for everyone.
  23. A cheap Titan one from Screwfix would be ok, 1 yrs warranty!
  24. You need to ask Old Mill Tree Care he has the same model, I am running a A521 which is 1998 and still going strong.
