Are there any good mulching mowers that can do a passible job at collecting? Many thanks guys

Would be interested to know what the old girls lifted the forklifts we have lifted well above the plating but we always felt the pivot steers struggled but it might well be that we underestimated what we where asking of them
-
We had 3 in a row before they stopped making them nice machine to use. found the centre pivot a bit light for what we do also regularly needed new fittings on the end of the steering rams as they tended to fail regularly. Also I doubt you will get anywhere near 4 ton on lift the rams would cope but you just lift the back end up

Had both mine done Right at 23 left at 33 was back playing rugby after 5 months with the first one and 6 and a half with the second don't rush the start but you will only get out what you put in with the rehab also if you can get a cryo cuff get one makes a huge difference for the first 3-4 weeks compared to ice packs!

Usually a chain mortiser a big drill bit and chisel would be a cheaper option but will take a lot more time it may be possible to hire a chain mortiser no idea of cost thougj

Probably to obvious but have you tried a blade from a different batch? and recheck the new belts as had one develop a bulge on a stenner the first week on also how old are the pulley wheels as I believe they may be crowned and do wear

The 13" bar on my 254 is shot and needs replacing i'm mostly using it to cut softwood saw logs in half and am getting frustrated by having to constantly cut from both sides so was wondering what is the longest bar this saw can practically handle? Also i use it 1-2 times a month is a better quality bar worth the extra cost or are the benefits mostly longer service life? many thanks

Anyone using any of the stihl battery tools and how are you finding them?
-
Im looking at getting a hedge cutter and thinking of biting the bullet and getting a battery set then adding other machines later but i'm just wondering which set will be better across the range?

Hi there i have a fencing job to do that has a Hawthorne hedge that will need a good trim back some of the growth is 20 mm thick but most is 10 mm or under! I need to invest in some hedge cutters but will only use them 5-6 times a year so don't want to spend a fortune if i don't need to! Also what are the pro's and cons of single sided vs double sided cutters?
-
Just wondering is anyone producing softwood bars within reasonable haulage distance to the midlands? Larch Spruce or Douglas preferred but other species considered
-
Not sure i'd call that proper! An old stenner or better yet some of the new ones coming out of Italy now there proper!

Hi i did my cs 30/31 as an add on to a countryside and environmental course the countryside & eviromental tutor got his facts wrong and told us the blue nptc book proved that we had done the course but we could send off for a credit card picture id if we wanted to! being young i didn't think to read the book! i'm now considering doing further tests due to a job change and have read the book only to discover that i needed to send it off for my certs will it still count? I did the course in 1997 18 years ago and the photos although signed by the assessor are of me back then!
-
I would like to start climbing, recreational to start with but with the hope to expand and get my tickets later but i was wondering how much i'd need for a starter set up? and whether its better to pay more now as i expect things like a cheap harness will need replacing sooner than a good one?
-
I can't seam to find any pics of a rico a9 like you describe is it basically the same as the bigger horizontal machines?
-
Hi there i have a stratford eco 9he woodburner and burn 99% softwood as its free cut from the timber too twisted to be any use in the mill but can only get 8 hour max when shut down over night and was wondering if hardwood would last longer?
-
funny i wouldn't of done it on principle would of quite happily of sharpened it every time it got blunt but cant stand the deliberate blunting of any cutting edge!
-
personally i use a sharpened clay spade on the breaker but obviously need a breaker
-
Hi there was just wondering what the pro's and cons are of a curved blade over a straight blade and vice versa or whether its just down to personal preference?
