  1. First time I used them bar I ordered had stock loss, Rob phoned me and explained and provided alternative more expensive bar at no extra cost to me. Ordered twice in December both arrived next day. Really great supplier. First port of call for me.
  2. I wouldn't take too much notice of the printed info, 220v and 15A gives 3300 watts not 3800. If it runs on 240v as here would be 3800. Amps also aren't power, watts are. Plug at least looks as if fuse is replaceable which is probably the best that can be said of it. Doubt if many on here are likely to touch it. Just bought a disk caddy for computer which arrived with non-fused plug and shielded earth pin, gave it a bad feedback and used legal and safe power cord I already had. Supplier offered to knock £5 off if I altered feedback, not that desperate for a fiver so haven't.
  3. For small suppliers under 600 metre cube per year does not apply until May 2022. Cost are about £120 to join then min of about £385 per year plus testing costs from a quick read on Woodsure and Government websites. 2 meter cube plus can be supplied provided info on seasoning wood is supplied. £300 fixed penalty if you are caught not complying with regulations.

  4. Yes it will cost but probably not hugely as it's an urgent closure. Google temporary Road closure for whichever council is involved. Planned road closure is often thousands but Urgent is often much less Essex is £140 according to their website.
  5. Agreed the tree was not going to roll out and when cutting sections from the bottom it was always going to fall away from you, you rolled it out when it was possible. I use this technique where necessary key is that tree has a good lean away from you.
  6. Wickes also do these plus get a Tradepro account with them for 10% off everything. I've got the 36v one super little saw keep it in pickup great for those quick jobs
  7. Absolutely hosing down, 2 inches flowing past garages and back door got pump running to keep it down. Where's that Noah fella when you need him?
  8. Quite right Steve they wouldn't be so chipper if it had been their hedge.
  9. Yes got the impact driver and it's brilliant. Have sds cordless as well which is awesome.36v chainsaw is so handy to keep in truck for small clearing jobs. Like you really rate their kit.
  10. Have a range of Einhell kit already this will be so useful when for use when working in wood.
  11. Titan £40 2 year warranty Screwfix no quibble if anything goes wrong what's not to like?
  12. Just a quick update to say barrow arrived first thing this morning about 8.15 on tail lift so obviously made my point with courier and they reacted so that's good. Barrow itself I'm really pleased with so far, it's well made and went together fairly easily though you will need a few spanners and allen keys. Filled it with oil and fuel pulled engine over slowly about 4 times then she fired up first pull. Clutch and track brakes work just fine. Obviously it's not designed as a professional tool but for intermittent use it looks as if it will be fine. Cost me under a grand. Will keep my eyes on track idler lubrication etc so thanks for the heads up Hairy. In fairness to AgriEuro their responses from Customer services can only be described as excellent, were responding well within 30 mins or so to emails and helpful in unlocking online access to Operating manual and spares list (paper copies are in the packaging). Spares list covers everything on the barrow which is great. Shame they cocked despatch up but they have certainly responded positively since.
  13. After it's been on the fire it will be 100% Ash. LOL. Ash to start with as well.
  14. GeoPorter 530E tracked power barrow , best deal on AgriEuro WWW.AGRIEURO.CO.UK GeoTech tracked power barrow GeoPorter 530E, extendable skip - 500 capacity
  15. Containers I think, Roro seems ok. Actually when it finally got shipped ttook 3 days from Bologna to Northampton which is impressive. The problem was the delayed shipment then Northampton depot screwing it up. Hopefully I'll be a happy bunny on Monday.
  16. No AgriEuro have admitted they were very slow to ship and delay was not acceptable. Compounded by British arm of Dachser who are the multinational couriers used by AgriEuro. They weren't slow in taking my money though. I just hope it's all OK when it finally arrives. Glad you had a good experience with them.
  17. I wouldn't buy anything again from AgriEuro, have been waiting two weeks for delivery, tracking is a joke and Dacsher who they use are appalling. Supposed to have been delivered today lots of messing about whether it was on truck or not assured it was definitely on the lorry. Now find out was on lorry without tailift despite being requested all the way along. Claiming delivery refused due to no pump truck, nobody been near the place, no phone calls nothing. Complete waste of a day and loss of earnings.
  18. Just to clarify win10 and chrome not working as previous post
  19. App now working OK but online just goes to blank pages in posts also no menu on home page
  20. 25:1 first three tanks then 40:1 Farmertec chainsaw fans & builders on Facebook loads of info in that group
  21. Not a good idea to hit a hardened metal axe with a hardened metal hammer as the metal can fragment and fly off and cause injury. Metal chisels have taper up to striking face to stop this happening as do those grenade wedges.
  22. This is random testing of the population so that they can try to get information on how widespread covid is iin the general population. Completely random and they've been doing it from fairly near the beginning. Enables them to establish infection rates and trends. Nothing new.
  23. This chap in US clears by pushing over with digger. His pond dredging videos on mats are something else as well!

  25.
