I have a JE Engineering stage 1 remap, my manifold studs have loosened, so there are 2 options to consider, Alisport sports manifold or JE Engineering offer a manifold stud kit with special spacers that allow the manifold to move without whistling.

Remote control McConnell Robocut with stumpgrinding attachment. Works on slopes up to 55 degrees & operator can be up to 150 metres away - so safe!

Get a WoodPellet boiler, the efficiency of the boiler is much higher due to the consistent moisture content of the 6mm pellet. Bagged or loose, easy to store & in plentiful supply.

Or you could persuade the owner of this one to sell it......

You will be up against the big contractors who get all the public sector work - like John o Connor, Tillbrooks, Frank Cooper, Glendale. All with big pockets for the best kit, who will be able to undercut you. We've got 4x school contracts, we don't make a lot in the summer due to the number of cuts required. The big contractors with 20+ schools can afford to loose money on the smaller sites as they have economies of scale on their side.

I get about 30mpg out of my td5 130 (it's been tweeted by JE Engineering and has bags more torque than a std defender - even a new Puma!) It does what it does - day in, day out regardless of the weather. Yes, it's a tight cab and can have a harsh ride on the road - but it's how you drive it. I've got air springs on the rear, so can soften the ride when the tipper is empty, yet pump them up when carrying a full load or towing the trailer. Service costs vary - depends how hard it's used, just had an annual service at Foley Land Rovers and it cost £744 inc VAT.

Hi John, what's a "high cube system"? Thanks Matt

You need a trailed Gang mower for a football pitch. Either powered or in-powered. We've used a Hayter 7-Gang mower, takes less than 1/2hr. Alternatively a Hayter or Ransomes 3-cylinder ride-on gang would take longer. During the summer, you'd have to cut once a week or 2 - 3 times per month. Matt

I had Subaru Justy's - an F-reg, great on slimy roads, sporty multivalve 3cylinder engine, put M&S tyres on it and it loved the muddy tracks in Derbyshire.

We've just taken on a large woodland and are taking all timber felled as payment for the work. It's all high quality sycamore & Alder - nice straight stems. Most is being sold as firewood cord or for charcoal, some for veneer timber. Where there is specialist tree surgery involved (close to listed structures), we're charging for the work BUT returning the value of the timber to owners to help offset the work.
