Just got the keys to my new house & that has a mole problem, as does a client with a big garden. Thanks for the tips. Rob

I had the bin men stop by me when I was working, & say "is that all you've got ? " Me "yes" Binmen, "chuck it in here then mate, no point in you messing about ". I was gob smacked to say the least. Rob

Thinking of getting a scarifier myself, any other models worth looking at ?. Rob

Yep 200k. I take the chute off mine(4 19mm nuts)when I move it about, takes a bit longer, but takes about 40k off the weight, but unless its a straight flat run so much easier. If there's 2 of us then, I transport it minus the chute, put it back on then 2 can manage it without to many problems. Rob

Thank you. Rob

Four of those metal builders stakes with the curly tops(what are they called ?) one on each corner of a builders bag. Rob

Thanks for the advice. Its in a clients garden so hopefully this will restrict any ne'erdowells turning up un announced !. No shooting I'm afraid, sorry. Rob

Thank you Scotty. Rob

Any one do any ferreting in the Lincolnshire area ?. Got a client with a rabbit problem that needs sorting. Regards, Rob

Thanks Gregg, we aren't far away from each other & I've seen your vehicle about. How many hours has it done ? Rob

Thanks for the replies, & showing the photo of yours at work Dan. As has been said, I also won't be doing that many, some for myself & now & again for clients, so don't want(in fact can't)to lay out a huge amount of money for one, so its got to be a pedestrian one for me if I choose to get one. Rob

How much use does yours get Dan ?, & what sort of size stump can it grind, is it just a question off working your way round the stump ? Sorry for the daft questions, but never having used one, I'm interested as to how they get on. I won't be doing anything massive, poss a max of 12/14 inches, mostly a lot less. Regards, Rob

Thanks Dan, do you have a link ?. Rob Its ok found them

Thanks skyhuk, I thought 9hp sounded a bit small. Paul, It depends if you do "mates rates" !. what sort are you looking at ? Rob

I've never used one, but the property I'm buying has a couple in the grounds & also there's a conifer hedge to come out as well as a couple of big conifers to come down, & I have clients who have stumps in their gardens. So just been having a look on ebay & they "seem cheaper" than I thought they would be, with reasonable looking one's with 9hp engines around the £1000 + mark. Any tips & advice on what to avoid, or look at would be appreciated. Regards, Rob
