Just listed on Arbtrader if anyone is looking for a Mini loader?.

You could subby a climber in 1 or 2 days a week, but then you’ve got the problem of being let down or not getting on etc, that’s if you’re used to your own company. I’d say that’s the easiest way to carry on with the potential of getting a full time climber, but would you be the groundy? Not really taking it easier on the ground humping and dragging all day. other than that, depends on your skills/past experiences and what business you could set up and invest in, which would obviously take time to set up and get clients. Would something like a tracked mewp make life easier that you could also hire out locally with you as the operator?. Not going to generate a fortune but would help with your fatigue.

Mileage so far is 1535, it’s oil life that’s 26103. I’ll speak to dealership today see what I can sort out for the future.

Hi all, do most people change their van oil annually or at 6 months? Purchased a new Iveco and first service is 3 years or 30k. Surely the oil need’s changing before this, but would this void any warranty if I do it myself sooner. this pinged on the dash yesterday.

Imagine forgetting the biscuits 🙈

That’s a shitty thing to do, I’d be fuming. I’d plant a row of pleached trees along that boundary now just so the leaves blow into their garden. All the Acer leaves would also be blown into the garden over the next 12 months, by the wind obviously 🙄

We have the Stihl battery trimmers, hla 56 and 3 of the hla 86, they are superb in my opinion, AP300 battery lasts most of the day and up to now not had any technical problems with them in nearly 2 years (the Husky ones we had were an absolute nightmare for breaking) the hla 86 can cut up to 26mm thickness and are telescopic. Very rare we use petrol trimmers now. Just keep the gearing lubed as they seem to dry up pretty quickly, we use spray on lithium grease weekly for that and wd40 on the blades regularly throughout the day.

What’s a payload? 😂

Yes they’re expensive, but factor in all the extras you don’t get with the grafter, all electrics, air con, diff lock, tow bar, all around led beacons and there wouldn’t be much in it, and you can get 3 people in with space and comfort. Had ours off road and over fields with no slipping whatsoever. More surprisingly it’s got us more work due to raising our business profile. I certainly don’t regret buying ours.

Morning all, sunny but very blustery in Bolton. Won’t be much cleaning up to do today hopefully 😂🍃🍃, hedge trimming and quotations on the cards. I’m certainly ready for the weekend though 😅

Hi, anyone know if these would work on a genny for scanning for media/BT cables, if I clipped it around the cable where it comes up from the ground into the house?. Or is there a simpler or easier solution?.

Hi, anyone know the size of the Dowty washers that fit on the bolt that connects the hoses to the drive motor on an FSI B22?

You thought about the Iveco Arb truck? Slightly more expensive but comes with all the extras as standard. We looked at the Grafter but there just wasn’t enough room or in cab storage for us. theres a video demo on FB, here’s the link Facebook M.FACEBOOK.COM

Any update on what van you preferred/chose? We picked up our new Iveco Arb tipper on Tuesday, feels like a proper truck and has all the little extras on like air con, diff lock and loads of useful storage. I’ll keep you updated on how it goes after a month or so of putting it through its paces 👌🏻
