  1. it was westbankwholesale.com iv just checked and they still do them
  2. you can get the brackets to fit the original sordin visor from buxtons or if your in real need you can use two zipties through each of those holes to attach the sordin visor... "temporary" of course
  3. i put a lifan engine on our predator 360 2 years ago, starts first time every time, and it hasn't missed a beat. im actually really impressed with it
  4. iv not long replaced mine they are XPA1632 you can get them from most belt places
  5. Hi all, I have a predator 360 that runs fine until I tilt it to grind and it starts smoking out of the exhaust, being black smoke I assumed it was overfuelling and it doesn't like to tick over either but it does smell similar to oil burning, is it new engine time or a simple fix? iv changed the air filter and its still the same. any advice is more than welcome! thanks.
  6. sorry to bump an old thread but currently I hire a fsi b20 which is a great machine but (A) its awkward and heavy to get on the back of the truck (B) its almost overkill on some jobs and (C) its way out of my price range. not looking at 6 ft beech stumps but small to medium stuff, what's the verdict on the current version of these? yay or nay
  7. Good evening all, we currently have 2-3 days a week available for a self employed grounds person, all our work is private/non contract so no hi-vis or cscs card required. Pay dependent on qualifications and experience, If your interested please call or text us on 07840169298 Thanks, Anthony
  8. Iv got a regatta pack away jacket, cost 15 quid off eBay, I thought I'd tear it to shreds in a day, it's still got no holes 12 months on, cheap enough to buy two and change over half way through the day
  9. In those cases where I think something could split out like storm damage I get some large slings and wrap them tightly around the piece below the cut and connect with a Mallon. In the unlikely event that will snap I tie my lanyard around the piece and connect that back to itself and connect yourself to that with a prussic loop or a break-away sling, this seems the safest way if you "need" to put yourself in that situation. Weak links on a harness would cause too much hassle and although I believe in natural selection, the HSE don't 😂
  10. Saw this on a Facebook group a while back, the bloke posted it saying that he was lucky to be writing the post and how things can go wrong in an instant, he got some flak about it and rightly so although I should hope he's learnt a lesson with a slap in the face like that 😳
  11. Il try this next time the mrs asks me to vac the sawdust trail iv left through the house haha
  12. The customer that won't listen/ doesn't understand. Example: can you reduce this leylandii by 80% and make it look natural? or reduce by half and keep the nice pointy top? I use saws not magic wands 😐 Educating customers is the answer but some have no common sense at all and there's no fixing stupid
  13. Saw a burger van with "only foods and sauces" on the side and a marquee hire called "2 in tents" haha
  14. Exactly, I'm always checking for new vids on my smack break, has me in stitches every time
