  2. I look after a Methodist church which has no graveyard and half acre of grass too whizz round ,I keep price cheap has I have 4private gardens on the doorstep of church so I know I will not lose job . Churches or like schools they always pay and I never have too worry ,true they are always crying poverty and I believe it has they might own more land than anyone but the numbers are down going to church so donations are down . Like said in previous posts keep place tip top and regular and you will have a regular income . Picture in avatar is outside said church. Ste

  10. I cut slots horizontally big enough to keep house bricks on a old ditching bucket,worked well for one job and shifted 3 six wheeler loads of bricks etc . Only used it once and works better when dry . Riddle with boom/dipper arm close to avoid to much stress on headstock. Ste
  11. Both my trucks are on business, social, domestic and pleasure with FLINT with tools covered and towing . Dont take any chances or cut corners with insurance regardless of cost,you never know whats around the corner. Ste
  12. Great news that these Viking mowers are holding out has i have given up with HAYTER over the cheap sub standard front wheels and puppet string cables they fit and Honda over the cost of parts for rear rollers are beyond a joke now . I hope Hayter read this has they made a effort fitting the bigger engine on the Silver Pro mowers then threw it all away by fitting the above mentioned . Will be purchasing a new Viking 21" rear roller mower next season . Ste

  22. Mini Digger back out today after fuel tank drained and filters cleaned and all seems fine for now:thumbup: Its a Kobelco sk20sr 2000 model so i reckon the older fuel injection pumps are a bit tougher than these latest Hi tech fly by wire jobs. Ste
