  1. M400 is the same size as the cs100 as well. The 500 is as Dean says not really like for like other than a gravity fed chipper.
  2. If you could rotate the pull cord 90 degrees so it sits neatly to the side (like the bit that isn't a complete circle, at least its like that on a br430) I reckon I could do it from warm, once.
  3. What year is the van? Original filter?
  4. I use wolf ones as well, the extending ones. ***POWER Cut Bypass Lopper Big and chunky, a renault espace ran them over (when I left them in a stupid place) and it broke the very bottom of the handles (last inch or so) which doesn't have metal in it just plastic. Otherwise absolutley fine as long as you dont try to cut too big.
  5. Some around here look like they've been crashed into by a lorry instead of flailed, but some do look really nice when they take care to do it straight and neatly.
  6. That's what I thought as well, a sort of sliding scale on units sold to emissions. Future proofing might also be coming into it now they're more familiar with the technology (i.e. the 201 cm)
  7. Our LWB transit Panel van is having a bit of a slidey time as well. Traction control on it is effing useless lets the wheels spin a load and then cuts the power and momentum.
  8. Is that a chuck and duck chipper?
  9. Although echos have a very good reliablility record I'd still be inclined to go for the dealer support above all else.
  10. Okay mate I'll look tomorrow and PM you whether its still there or not.
  11. I think I've got some Apple that size kicking around. If you can collect it (Its near Keynsham) I'll cut it to whatever thickness you want. Don't want anything for it. No guarantee I've still got it.
  12. Especially now with leaves everywhere, blow the leaves off the path under a hedge (or collect them whatever) and makes the whole garden look much neater.
  13. Straight in the back for me, 5 extra steps and is quicker than sifting through stuff. If there's a load put it in a tonne bag and throw it on the back.
  14. Is that also its max trailer weight? My V5 says 2750 for my mk6 but the gross weight is 5750 and the plate on the van has 2250 for the towing weight.
  15. Bloody hate ivy. Makes me sneeze and I go a bit red from the dust like a really mild reaction. Wearing a mask helped but I still go red.
  16. Yeah pretty easy to use. Weight wise is almost one handed, just obviously the wrong shape for it.
  17. I've got two, to replace two stolen 90's. Ignoring the 4 mix entirely (never actually had a problem with my 90's) I much prefer it. Although the black top screw cover, one of them came with a bolt with a crushed thread so I just swap the covers over when using either one. Also paper filters with no pre filter system so it can get clogged quicker.

    Dolmar or echo

    It'll be interesting to see what Saw Troll recommends
  19. The new black caps they have on blowers and strimmers is much better. Haven't seen them on a Stihl chainsaw yet but they don't sit smooth like the twist locks do.

    Why did they stop chasing the fat guy? He started walking 20 metres later
  21. Bateman skips are 420 inc VAT I think. Might not be anymore. They do go down your way (Ubley isn't it?)
  22. I tend to knee keys on compact tractors all the time, feels like if they went in sideways (when facing you) instead of towards the front of the tractor the keys would last longer.
  23. It's not husky themselves that have done this (although you should still contact them over it) but either a computer or someone has reported your advert to it (maybe someone else selling the same model saw?) https://www.markmonitor.com/solutions/roi.php
  24. We hire a 120t as well. Go in hitch it up pay and leave, they dont even ask what we're doing with it.
