  1. How do you get on with that tractor? I'm in the market for one. Mainly for flailing in very wet difficult terrain. I've been looking at the agt 850 and 860. But not got round to ringing Goldoni about what they can offer. Sent from my MotoG3 using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. I guess if you've made a mistake big enough to be cutting into your leg your more likely to be coming off the throttle anyway Sent from my MotoG3 using Arbtalk mobile app
  3. What's the price of the m400? Sent from my MotoG3 using Arbtalk mobile app
  4. Is there much of a difference between the 16 and 18hp engines on the cs100s?
  5. I've got a Mazda bt50 but I've been quoted huge amounts for car parts. I know they're the same as ford rangers but are the parts interchangeable? An example is £1000 for a new catalytic convertor trade price unfitted which I'm welding. Sent from my MotoG3 using Arbtalk mobile app
  6. Me too, trouble is the money isn't as good.
  7. Climber needed for a pruning job in Denshaw Saddleworth on Tuesday 2nd August. Excellent rates. Give me a call on 07445887322. Rob
  8. Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated. I'm thinking he may as well leave it for the time being if it won't help the other trees.
  9. Found this on a beech tree the other day. Previous war wounds from poor pruning above (no photo sorry). Another tree has been taken out next to it last year but the new owner is not sure if it was light or disease Is this Phytophthora? If so is there any action required or is it likely to survive for many years to come? It looks healthy overall and its one of four well established beech I the garden so the only reason I can see for removing it is if it prevented spread into the others. Advice and opinions appreciated.
  10. Been doing some excavator work today clearing vegetation off a path ready for a sub base to go down. First job on a digger and enjoyed the challenge. A tight squeeze between two walls but a simple enough job to get me some experience. I'm on a Bobcat E10 which has a zero tail swing.
  11. Bumping this up. Give me a call if you've any questions
  12. Climber needed for a pruning job in Denshaw in Saddleworth on the 24th May. Only 2 minutes off the M62. Excellent rates offered. Give me a call on 07445887322 or pm me. Rob
  13. Nice vid. Enjoyed that.
  14. two words - Pork Pie. Nuff said!
  15. Mini digger driver required for 2 days work in Huddersfield. Date to be confirmed but it will be end of April/beginning of May. Good rates of pay. PM me if your interested. Rob
  16. Just a footpath. Not even a right of way but on open access land and a well worn route. Seen a few bikes on there but by the time they got to us they looked like they regretted it!
  17. It's been great! Had a great team on the job which always helps. Had some terrible weather but a few nice days too. Its the path up to Brown Knoll from Chapel Gate. Its not finished yet, we've stopped because of bird breeding season so you'll still get muddy boots in places.
  18. And plenty of tree planting but not much climbing so if anyone has any climbing or ground work let me know!
  19. This has been my last few months of work. Flag laying in the Peak District. [[/ATTACH][/ATTACH] Theres a good stop motion of the last day on facebook too. https://www.facebook.com/aitchconservation/

    thanks for your advice everyone

    Argocat

    Too big for what I need. It's more about the low ground pressure. I've got a power barrow but no good over longer distances. I can't imagine they're comfy though! I've used a softrak a lot in my last job but not an argocat.

    Argocat

    Thinking of investing in an Argocat. Most of my work so far would benefit from one to get to places that a quad couldn't It would have to be second hand to meet my budget. Does anyone have any experience of them, what to look out for, best place to buy them. Ive seen Rattray atv, Walsh and Co. Thanks in advance
  23. Not sure it will fit where I need it though. Sounds like the first two aren't up to it though
  24. I'm after a new impact wrench, I've a low budget as its for moving the occasional stuck nut. I seem to com across one every time I try to do something and I either end up rounding the head off or breaking the tool. The lastest has been trying to change the discs on my pickup so not much space to get in either. I've been looking at the erbauer ones at screw fix Erbauer ERP406IPD 10.8V 1.3Ah Li-Ion Cordless Impact Driver | Impact Drivers & Wrenches | Screwfix.com and Erbauer ERI6041PD 18V 2.0Ah Li-Ion Cordless Impact Driver | Impact Drivers & Wrenches | Screwfix.com Also looked at https://www.tool-net.co.uk/p-345923/%20clarke-cew1000-240v-½-electric-impact-wrench-with-4-socketshtml which seems to pack a punch but I don't think it will get into the tight spaces. Any thoughts? Not used one before so any advice appreciated
  25. Telesales was mine. Did one morning when I was in Australia in the 2001. I was selling mobile phones. I had to call someone on a mobile to try to sell them a mobile. I lasted one morning which was one morning too long. There is only so many times you can be told to sod off!
