I have a 2014 560xp, has been faultless. 18" bar and 8 pin sprocket, modded exhaust, high top cover with 562 air filter. My most used saw.

Anyone got any experience of these : Agroforteka company - Agricultural and forest machinery - Home WWW.AFA-MACHINERY.LT Agricultural and Forest machinery Beckdale Industries BECKDALEINDUSTRIES.CO.UK Seem to be copies of old model Avants.

Sorry late to the party on this one, I have a genuine Hi Lift and a Farm Jack (generic copy) I would say the Hi Lift is definitely better made, but they still both do the same job.

Or try Acacia Plant Hire in Henfield.

Hi Mark, I have this one on my Ifor, amongst other locks, it works hitched or unhitched. Not sure if it will work with your coupling though. https://www.sasproducts.com/fortress-a-hitchlock-avonride-hitches-14-p.asp

What will you be using it for? There's a bit of hate for Land Rover on here but you could get a niceish used discovery 2 or freelander 2 for around 2k, and still have 2k held back for the inevitable issues. I run a 52 plate defender, the missus drives it during the week and I use it at the weekends. In just over a years owning it has cost me about £300 in replacement parts, which isn't too bad for a 16 year old vehicle that spends every weekend towing a 3.5 ton trailer and does a fair bit of motorway work. Discovery 2's share all of the same components pretty much, but don't have the Defender cult following so are therefore cheaper to buy. Just watch out for chassis rust at the back.

I would say that is pretty clear.

Has anyone on here ever used PVC window trims as stickers? only asking as I have easy access to free damaged ones, they are 5m lengths, you can get various block sizes. Link to explain what I mean. They should last ages and be ultimately re usable. https://edgebp.co.uk/window-finishing/window-trims/standard-white-window-trims/15-x-13mm-block

Thank you Bill and Saul, thats what I was looking for.

Sorry for slight thread derail, I have searched on here but getting mixed messages. I have bought a sawmill powered by a chainsaw, and will be running either my 395xp or 3120xp as the powerhead, only a 36" cut at the moment. The guy I bought it from ran an 880, he said always on 25/1 mix or it will lean seize. I have never run my saws on that strong a mix, @spudulike would you or anyone else be able to give me a more definitive answer? Thanks. Alf

'Worlds least polluting woodburner'
HuntingHicap replied to woodrascal's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
I have a Parkray Consort 7, it's not zero emissions but it is a brilliant stove. -
Not yet, sat in a field with about 6 other butts, just never seem to have enough time?

Thank you. I can now enjoy the forum without that gold inlaid Phallic object.? -
Tipper or 4x4 with tipper trailer?
HuntingHicap replied to Jwoodgardenmaintenance's topic in General chat
will pm if thats ok -
Absolutely. Plenty of tractor pulling monsters powered by truck engines. Fordson Majors with big v8 lumps are quite popular.

its suffering from "Farmers Chain" ?
-
I put 20,000 trouble free miles on a king cab NP300, was a good truck but needed a bit of weight in the bed if you were towing heavy. Company still has it and I haven't heard any horror stories. Would say that even though this one had rear leaf springs it was actually reasonably competent off road.

I'm fine with trophy hunting providing its not Yanks shooting protected/endangered species....or some poor bugger's sheep! ?
-
Tbh I was all righteously stirred up until I saw the sheep photo....only a Yank...(sorry to stereotype but they do ask for it)
-
Hadn't seen the sheep! ? I suppose as long as it was a clean shot? I think someone has been ripped off, told she was stalking a very rare woolly beast...better not let her near Wales....
-
Wild Goats are fairly different to domestic animals. Can't see what all the fuss is about, of course there is trophy hunting, and as long as its from a sustainable source it's good for local economy, as for the MP throwing his toys out the pram, why's he trying to ban something that encourages tourism to Islay, where I can imagine there isn't a whole lot of tourist attractions. (Apart from the scenery obviously)

Unfortunately true. My old boss bought one standing once to mill as it was a very impressive tree, massive trunk, etc. When his old Devonshire cutter turned up with a Fordson Major to winch it over, and told him it was a f%&*ing Turkey, he did some rapid negotiating to the extent we were paid (not much though) to take it away. Horrible timber, masses of sapwood, rough grain thats hard to cross cut, a night mare to split and not even much good for sleepers as not very durable. Blame the Yanks, I believe thats where it came from originally.
