  1. With lots of motorway / dual carriageway work last week, I got 400 miles out of our 130 td5 tipper, before the low fuel light came on..... Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Case
  2. You could try Blaster - is a broadleaf herbicide for weeds in amenity turf and woodlands. We have used it with brilliant results to control nettles at the Royal Gunpowder Mills, Essex. Got it from ALS in Shropshire - about £45 per litre. Matt Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Case
  3. Try George Browns at Leighton Buzzard or Richard Whitbread at RJW Machinery at Wyboston (http://www.rjwmachinery.com). Matt Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Case
  4. We have a G18 & G21, if budgets allowed I would get a new G26 with shaft driven 48 or 54 inch deck - more ground clearance, more power, no belts to change! Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Case
  5. Get a Kubota G23 or G26 - shaft driven 48 or 54 inch deck, 500 litre collection box with hydraulic top and high-tip version available. Collects 99% of grass even when wet. Will never let you down. Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Case
  6. Trust insurance - Northampton, they specialise in tree surgeons & horticultural industries. Matt Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Case
  7. Here's mine Bi-directional Alpine tractor equipped with a Muthing MUE flail... Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Case
  8. Yes, but an iPhone encased in a Lifeproof 'fre' case would have survived underwater for 30 mins.....more than enough time to go for a swim!! Matt Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Case
  9. Can't tow much with an Evoque. The portal hubs can be fitted in a day without taking the axles of the Defender.... Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case
  10. Or, you could go to Tibus engineering in Germany & buy a set of bolt-on portal hubs for your defender.....http://www.killeraxles.com/bop_landrover_e.html Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case
  11. Or, you could have one of these....... Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case
  12. Actually delivery has to be charged at the same rate as the product being delivered - so 5% for WoodFuel products & 20% for equestrian wood pellets. As confirmed by HMRC. Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case
  13. Hi Jon, I've got a Jake Wright 6ft snow plough with manual adjustment. Light, fluffy snow up to about 8 - 10 inches. Tend to put snow chains on and lock the centre diff. I'm looking at getting a snow blower, there are some available with inboard petrol engines..... Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case
  14. Well said! Before my Defender 130 300tdi, I had a Mitsubishi L200 - good on the road in the dry, crap in the wet, useless off road. Parts & servicing very expensive, couples with high depreciation. The 300tdi, did everything and parts / servicing costs were low. Due to the London Low emission zone, now have a 130 Td5. It never gets stuck, pulls anything and is a multi-ability truck. How many Jap trucks will power hydraulics off the transfer box?! Matt Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case
  15. Delivery charges relative to postcode / travelling time - UNLESS in London, where the minimum delivery charge is £50 + VAT. Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case
  16. Here's mine Defender 130 Td5 stage 1 JE Engineering remap (122 - 175 bhp) and yes, we do clear snow! Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case
  17. Just been offered a 90 hectare broadleaf woodland to thin over next 5 - 10 years. Think I'll have enough timber...... Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case
  18. Hi Jon, just bought an Alpine tractor so will have 2 log splitters working - front & back. Will probably start processing in the woodlands as well... Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case
  19. I've got 2x 2.4m going out on Sunday, with the log splitter working hard..... Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case
  20. My td5 130 returns 28 - 30 mpg, only drops when I let the JE Engineering Stage 1 mod loose with my right foot...... Lol Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case
  21. Oh you could.......but it would be the fastest chipper on the roads.....! Lol Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case
  22. Have a look at the Zulu conversion that JE Engineering offer and think again...... Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case
  23. Talk to the hire department at George Browns - they hire tractor hedgecutters as well. Matt Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case
  24. Nigel Baddley at Kentdown Mushrooms is selling a PTO power pack think its electric. Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case
  25. 2x 2.4 cubic metre loads out this weekend, 1 ton WoodFuel pellets next week, 1 ton equestrian wood pellets and loads of Verdo Heat logs for people with garden stoves.... Got a little pile of logs to split this week...... Sent from my iPad encased in a bombproof Lifeproof Nuud Case
