  1. I did have this mental image of Mark doing tree work looking like a Musician man with a chainsaw. Two chainsaws with ropes attached to the throttle on each foot, with one of the lads feeding the chipper and sat on it like a horse/how I learnt to love the bomb style.
  2. But you're honour they're crooks, well son you'll be meeting a few more later this afternoon 🙂

    Topical

    I wonder if David Ike is feeling like a plonker for saying they're reptiles ?.
  4. When your previous tool was a bowsaw from toolstation, even a blunt chisel feels like an excellent tool 🙂
  5. Can you get a forehead operated chain brake ?.
  6. Cmon, you just lie and say I think the Mrs said it was...., you'll never be a used car salesman at this rate!. Did you ask the NFU.
  7. You're sure he wasn't just a little tipsy ?, did you ask if it was popperty ping friendly?
  8. Aldi might be German, but thr sweatshop that makes their chainsaws was definitely in China. Unless the Berlin wall was sold off and relocated around a factory in china ?.
  9. Probably the same place as aldi
  10. That did include the handle, roll pin and washer. The nut was available but was like £45 on its own.
  11. Plus being honda, there's probably not a diesel option like the quads.
  12. Starting at 11.5k ex vat, with a 204kg capacity.
  13. It's £72 Inc the vat for the complete assembly.
  14. I thought it was "the power of dreams" ?
  15. Whilst I'm not a NFU member, my insurances have been with them for years. Worth ringing your local office, LV aren't too bad for business use either.
  16. Own goods. Hire or reward would be delivery or transport. The argument could be had for hauling things to the tip after a job, as disposal could be said to be reward as you're getting paid for doing it. Personally I'd rather be over covered than under insured.
  17. Jebus, then become a vegan and disappear up ones own bum in smugness!.
  18. Doth you're cap and wear those plastic over booties things as you walk backwards down the drive whilst bowing?.
  19. Granted you do need a strong pull when the decomp is pushed in, half the time I forget the decomp button. Does the Mtronic over fuel at startup to assist starting along with the choke ?.
  20. Something like this ?. Hydraulic gear pump replacement for Kubota 38240-76100 | Magister Hydraulics WWW.MAGISTERHYD.COM Aftermarket 38240-76100 hydraulic gear pump for Kubota aplications, 0.549 CID with counter-clockwise (left) rotation...
  21. Drive belts appears to be just the chipper flywheel to prevent shock and acts as a bit of a buffer. Follow the pipes 🙂
  22. As it's a Kubota engine it's probably driven off the lower pulley on the front of the engine via a spider coupler. Lift the hood and the bottom pulley, most pumps have details on them identify type etc. The 540 manual says 19307 as a part number for the track. Page 92/93 https://www.arb-gear.co.uk/workshop-manuals
  23. I'd take it back personally, even ice old it's 2/3 pulls max. Have you checked the needle bearing, just wondering if it's been over tensioned on the chain?. If you're emptying the tank, they can be a bit of a bugger tho.
  24. How old is it, as in the year ?
  25. Just change the box in the middle for that of a tank 🙂
