    Can't go wrong with one of these! Worth the extra dollar for the 8" just for the size of the hopper and in feed even if only putting 4" through it.

     

    The bulk it sucks in is impressive, and just easy to use!

  2. I have full ipaf for static and mobile booms..

     

    But last hire I had of a self drive 29m truck mount, they didn't ask to see any tickets, or in any way demonstrate the machine to the chap I had collect it for me!

     

    They also forgot to take any deposit or full contact details!! On a 110k machine..

  3. My 560 started to sound like a rude boy car the other day, checked bolts and one of the top exhaust bolts has stripped the internal thread it seems, not good. Not sure what it bolts into, saw under warranty so will be phoning in the morning!

     

    But yes, it is a marvellous saw!!

  4. Ah so I could order the shaft from a combi as a part and attach to the hl engine unit ok?

     

    I have a ht131, did think about trying to put the head on that but wasn't sure if would fit or if would damage the extension section at all? or buy a new head so can easily swap from hl to ht when need the reach..

     

    Many thanks for the replies

  5. Morning,

     

    Currently using hl100 as longest reach hedge cutter.

     

    Could really do with an extra 50 or 100cm reach on some of the more ridiculous hedges.

     

    Now stihl don't do an extension, I'm guessing so that you have to buy a whole multi system, but this will cost over £700 just to get a bit more reach.

     

    I am just wondering if anyone has come up with any ways to extend their hl100 at all?

     

    Many thanks in advance

  6. Difficult to know the exact reason for the price differences or the circumstances around the different quotes. So many variables.

     

    Had one job where the customer had a small field to clear of brambles and saplings. One firm had been in and given up half way. I went to quote to finish the second half. 2 hours with the flail on the tractor plus minimal travel, so £120.

     

    Was informed afterwards the other company had spent 70 hours with the strimmer at over £1000.

     

    Both prices could be justified for the time and effort spent, but different equipment and work systems can make a massive amount of difference.

     

    A like for like quote isn't necessarily just about the end result, but how a company is going to achieve it.

  7. In discussions with a chap about fitting one to an ST8, just got to work out mounting due to chassis shapes, sumps/ spare wheels etc.

     

    I think will be used quite a lot once fitted, even just for small moves and spins etc, then for tight spaces
