  1. Which is how we end up with disasters like the mk1 201t
  2. If you want a very large chipper and support why not a bandit? There is the spares network here and dealer support
  3. I dont like my guys rolling a fag in the van as im forever finding dropped filters.
  4. Do you need sharp blades to chip socks?
  5. Ill only go over 30 days if it's purchase ordered. Longest is paid the first friday of the first full week of theesecond month after the end of the works i.e. work done now would be paid on December 8th
  6. Way way way too fast even if there was no chance of someone coming the other way. Seemed like he was close to understeering into a hedge even without you there.
  7. The black plastic cap hasnt flown off any of our 3 brushcutters. Maybe its a new design? Been on them (echo 420's and a 520) for over a year now
  8. No/to maybe it won't give you an upset stomach/kill you. They're not that closely related to Rhubarb.
  9. £12 cheaper on ebay (from the same people) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Folding-Loading-Ramps-Pair-Bar-Grip-EXTRA-LONG-2750mm-Long-280mm-Wide-/222094804231?hash=item33b5e1c507
  10. Thanks for the offer but Dom came out yesterday and did it for me. Fantastic job and real nice guy.
  11. Thanks anyway Jonny Ridarb's gunna do it on Tuesday. Massive thanks.
  12. Not enough pykeys around for the eggs.
  13. Thank you I've PM'd Ribarb
  14. I have a job to flail a wildflower meadow (I know this isn't the correct procedure but this is the spec) this September. I was intending to hire a ped flail and do it myself (would take about a day and a half) but I have been let down and being the time of year that it is I cannot get hold of one. Is there anyone near there that has a flail that they'd either be willing to hire to me or do themselves? Ideally a compact with a flail would be able to do this in a half day to a short day (access no bother at all) There are only two thick sections of meadow most of it is thin. Would only need cutting once and no collection no strimming (ill do it myself)
  15. The newer magnesium echo gearboxes aren't as bulletproof as the old all steel ones (the LW is the magnesium ones) but still very good and a very nice finish.
  16. We use an Echo 8002 on an 18 inch sometimes. Useful for making Swedish candles. It's only silly because it's less balanced but it's not dangerous or anything.

    Sure its an old saw. But maybe do something else to help keep cylinder temps low. What 2t oil do you use?
  18. Ring bark? Why do you want to kill it?
  19. Some clients come out with some weird stuff. If they don't want to say no just dont contact me again? If its left as they'll contact me I forget about it and if they contact me great we'll go ahead if they dont then whatever. Had one about a month back to lift all the trees trees around the garden to give about 12 feet clearance so polesaw work a few hours no big deal. Client claimed her husband (a short man about 40 years old and 18 stone) used to be a tree surgeon and because they haven't heard of us they'd go with someone else??????? Just tell me no? Why make up some lie to not get me to do the work?
  20. I dont agree that a rucksack attached to the tank is dangerous. But try turning up to a commercial site where they check you in and out, or subbing for the big firms like GC glendale TCL etc. with that and see if they let you spray.
  21. Stone crusher on the back of a tractor? Not sure how they deal with the green stuff and they're pretty expensive to hire
  22. This could also be pretty stupidly dangerous too. [ame] [/ame]
  23. 4,5,6 and maybe 1
  24. If doing it alone it always seems to persist down at the wrong moment.
  25. Sprinter can tow 3.5t but you have to spec it otherwise it's just 2 tonne.
