    If they asked for the conny to be cut then only cut the conny you can't go around giving freebies away these little 5 minute jobs all add up and eats away at profit ? do you think the customer would say since you've been here a little while longer I'll pay you for the extra time? I'm highly doubtful! Jack

    I was as Keswick garden machinery a few weeks ago and I couldn't get any aspen 2 either ? Jack

    Have you not considered a stand on mower? Can also fold the platform up and use is as a walkbehind so ideal like a scag or toro or even hustler? Jack

    They don't look a bad price either at £150 body only they seem to weigh quite a bit at 4.5kg without batteries though suppose each machine has its own application though Jack

    Hi Why not just get a 2.7 tonner legal weight to tow and far greater lifting capacity if buying second hand there isn't much difference in price and you'd maybe be better off with a grab rotator for the extra few quid makes moving materials easier you'd be better off posting in show us your arb diggers and Stephen Blair or LGP Eddie will be able to give you all the advice you need Jack

    I always ask 25% of the quote upon booking then the day the work starts I want 50% of the remaining balance upfront and the final 50% once completed and customer is satisfied ? I've been screwed over by a few folk so I always cover my own back now and I always get everything in black and white no verbal agreements there is a lot of good people out there on both parties but there is also bad aswell Jack

    When I first started on building sites I didn't have my utr number so was taxed at 30% and once I got my number and I done my taxes for the year I got the 10% extra back Jack

    It needs a good firm knock to get wound out I replace my heads every 12-18 month there only £25-£30 because the springs loose their strength and that's when it all starts coming out on its own I use mine without a guard I've got the head on my fs300 & my fs70r absolutely brilliant they are imo you can't go wrong with it Jack

    I know you say you don't like the bump feed heads but I use the stihl autocut c 26-2 and it's absolutely brilliant don't need to take apart to re fill and cuts really close to the ground without scalping and balanced perfectly really nice head might be worth a shot? Jack

    Have you tried l&s engineers or garden hire spares? 4180 350 0418 is the part number for it I think type it in on l&s and if its the one it's £31.65 Jack
  15. Jwoodgardenmaintenance
    Wow ?

    Is it the ram tipper or the scissor one the ram is a lot more powerful than the scissor in my opinion out of curiosity does many people use the likes of tpuk or Facebook group transit city parts are so cheap and you can go to my local scrapyard and get rear axles for mk6/7 transit tippers for about £250/£300 and just about any other part aswell Jack

    I think that's the route I'm going down with yanmar tbh can't afford to pay £18-21k on a heap of utter s**t I'll get on the buzzer tomorrow and get a demo arranged cheers for the info Jack
  18. Jwoodgardenmaintenance
    I think I'm gonna get the yanmar on demo I use micros quite a lot and hate jcb 8008 style levers exact same controls just in a different position i without armrests that's why I'm being quite picky spoke to a few people with the takeuchi tb210r and really slow and gutless apparantley

    Is Doosan the maker of bobcat aswell the dx27 is exactly the same as the e26 & I'm sure someone said that bobcat are made by doosan but I could've heard wrong Jack
  20. Jwoodgardenmaintenance

  21. Jwoodgardenmaintenance
    Looking at micro diggers and can't make my mind up I've got the 3 main ones I like Doosan Dx10 Yanmar voi 12 Kobelco sk10 sr Looking for people who run these brands who can give feedback good/bad Jack
  22. Jwoodgardenmaintenance
    Have you looked on l&s? They normally have genuine parts and sometimes offer aftermarket so you'd of thought if they recommend them they must be good Jack

    https://www.mascus.co.uk/construction/used-crawler-excavators/jcb-jz-140/ul0gyctg.html There's a link to a clean jcb not sure if it will work nice looking machine
