  1. You would be better getting the Revolution wheel, far better than Green Teethand Multi tip in my opinion (I have had both) they are pretty bomb proof, easy to sharpen and can be retro fitted onto an SG40 as I have one on mine.
  2. Get a tree survey done on the tree, see what the consultant says. Tree Officers are usually open to what consultants suggest imo.

    Porting

    Too bloody loud with a bark box🥴 I sold mine and went back to normal but then made my own twin port exhaust.
  4. Yes it is and to be honest I never looked at one. Best get to demo. The revolution wheel sold the bandit to me, I just hated green teeth[emoji23][emoji23]
  5. Yes that's it. I'm very impressed by its ability.
  6. There is a nice Bandit HB20 on EBay at the moment. I had one for 7 years, they are a very powerful,narrow access machine and have a turntable for easier use...0
  7. Yes I agree, I miss having a small machine to do small stumps in difficult areas.
  8. I own the land that is bordered in red. We used to own the bar no the left and the house on the right. When we came to sell the house after my Grandfather died we had to split the land and barn away from the house. The land registry were involved and the said we own up to the middle of the road. The highways dept maintain the road, grit the road and empty the gully's. We have always maintained the verges even before we found out we owned them.
  9. Oh and no wonder the land owner ignored you if Ruth was in her running gear🤣🤣🤣🤣easy tiger[emoji123][emoji123]
  10. From my experience......the land owner is responsible up to the middle of the road. This was brought to light by the land registry when debating ownership of my land.

    I had no steering mate, bloody scary!!
  12. Bandit HB 20 or if you want a bigger machine get an SG 40...
  13. I think you will find we all have grinders thanks🤣🤣

    Yes they were all changed.

    Yeah, it could have been bad, it's freaked me out to be honest. I've got it sorted now with the heavy duty tubes, especially working off road and with the big tyres.
  16. I'm happy with it Ian, it has a couple of points that could do with improving but overall I think it's great. The grinding depth could be lower but with a bit of manoeuvring you can get it deeper and it would be good if the cutter arm folded up vertically like the Jo Beau. With the razor wheel it cuts so well, far better than green teeth in my opinion.

    I did mate and won £3.80 on euro millions[emoji23][emoji23]

    So I have put 38 in the front and 50 in the back and it drives fine, I will know more next week when I have my trailer on. I have just had uprated steering tubes fitted, as the track rod end pulled out of the standard tube last week, luckily it was when I pulled in for a pee before getting on the motorway....
  19. Razor teeth are on the revolution wheel made by Bandit, they are very similar to the Sandvik. They are usually on bigger machines but you can get them on 27hp machines now, mine is on my SG40 Bandit.
  20. Yes it's the reds I used to use and they were a lot harder wearing.
  21. I had a similar issue with Jo Beau. I cracked one of the main cutter wheel bearings on my old B3710 and called up for a bearing, they didn't have one and said they would need it sending from Jo Beau, it would take a week and cost X amount plus shipping etc.....this was a no go for me as I needed the machine sorting asap. I got the part number off the old one and got on google, Bearing boys sorted me out in 24hrs.

    Thanks, I can't see me needing to be more than 50 to be honest.
  23. Which Greenteeth are you using as there are different types. The standard I found are tougher than the wear sharp. Might be worth looking into....I had problems with the wear sharp breaking all the time. That's why when I got my new grinder I moved away from green teeth to razor teeth.

    Mine are after market wheels and tyres. BFG are saying that the Maximum is 80 psi not that you should put 80 in them. I have heavy duty suspension and rear air bags assistors so I was just wanting an idea of tyre pressure.
