lomardini engine Lombardini Engine Worn Out In Less Then Two Years
Sheepy replied to Gardenequipment's topic in Maintenance help
Expensive lesson I personally would have stopped using it the minute it started burning excessive oil. At that stage you may have got away with new rings and a shells. Is it beyond a rebuild ? Can normally get a kit for £500/600 -
Freelancer available for any kind of work. Try me?

Ever done any planting? Cheers -
No mention of drag, no mention of area, no amount of time stipulated ( anything over 4 hours is a full man day). There was 3 people on site, it might of been a hour from there home base why is £800+vat kicking up such a stink that’s what a business consisting of at least 3 people trucks and tools and insurances needs to bring in a day surely? As for the original poster all I have to say is if you agreed to the price you’ve not been ripped off, you wouldn’t be moaning if they spent all week removing them. As for the logs it’s hard to tell exact amounts from the pictures but I personally wouldn’t bother logging anything less than 7 inch anyways and with these trees being the size they are thats gonna leave lot a chippable material.

As above looking to hire a tracked barrow/ dumper, struggling to find any available does anyone on here have one for hire ? Cheers

Did you sell it in the end ?
-
That’s a bit of kit and some! Can you hire those from anywhere? Would have saved me 2 weeks of trying to become a shaolin monk this year..

Unless you explained the situation to the client, got them to agree with your course of action and documented said course of action I’d say your taking this one on the chin. Don’t doubt you were careful but the fact remains you’ve disturbed the immediate area around the pipe and that immediate area is now what’s causing the issue. Hard to say without seeing it. Was the concrete over/around the pipe and the post ?

Dmax is a decent shout I’ve had no real issues with either of mine in the past, rangers are only really any good if you get the 3.2 and that can sting ya. If it’s gonna be a car for the family and something to get to work in as aposed to a workhorse id look at going down the Amarok route. Just opinion

Just a idea I’ve been toying with for a while, be interesting to guage opinions, if I was to offer a laser engraving service for company logos, addresses, names ect on saws/tools ect how many would be interested in doing it? What kind of price would you be happy with? Cheers

Nah echo.

I reckon you’d still do 8 with a saw on full chat.

Makes my piss boil. It’s only gonna keep getting worse

Would be easier to add a reversing circuit onto your trailer, could still do it all of the standard plug and it would be less of a mess about for the future. 2 beer job.

Rings true about being careful what you post on these forums, just shows people you wouldn’t think are watching.

At any rate all listings have mysteriously disappeared. Seems a bit suspect.

There a fucking brilliant way to avoid clearing up if you can get away with it! They do genuinely work too, couple managed woods I’ve worked in have had absolutely everything left in habitat piles, the amount of flies and birds and all sorts kicking off is incredible.

Emergency Tree Works on Local Highway (not a Trunk Road)
Sheepy replied to Paul_Bunyan_100's topic in Trees and the Law
As I understand it your bang to rights, I’ve done many hedgerow tree for nothing other than its potential liability/future cost. I imagine if it’s extortionate you could appeal or if you had a recent tree survey done you could potentially pass it on to said consultant. -

Continuing the theme of 'pimp my forwarder'....
Sheepy replied to Big J's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Would you not be better of figuring a way to bundle it tightly, then extract the bundles to a high cap chipper? -
Everything’s terrible, if we’re actually going to solve the plastic problem we need a massive shift society wise. I used to hate having to sell logs in a plastic bag, seems wrong.

You can legally tow 3.5 tonne with them, it’s £200 to get the train weight uprated to 7 tonne, they just put some different rear springs and shocks on

Any good books on stuff like this? Blows the mind

Shouldn’t be allowed, end of discussion in my opinion. Tax payer bought kit, access to TO’s, level of perceived trustworthy ness that isn’t fairly gained, ability to gain backhanders off rate payer gear and training, killing off of smaller firms ect.. so much wrong with it, they should stick to council/government owned properties and interests only. There’d be a almighty stink if one of us go caught paying off the tree officer and I don’t see how their situation is any different. Most council workers want to do the minimum possible, there not in it for the sky high pay, to me that says some jobs going through cash ect.
