  1. Have you found any decent info on how the grenadier tows?
  2. Stihl comms all the way especially when working with machinery. Huge improvement in Safety but the one thing I didn’t think to consider is how much they’d Improve efficiency, which they have 10 fold.
  3. Price would be the major difference - only looking at one for semi regular use on particular jobs. As you say lack of parts etc may prove a false economy
  4. Thanks mate, that was my thinking behind purchasing one - feeding hedgerow using a digger and with the drawbar dragging it along aswell. As mick has suggested have you fixed it in position or it functions just fine as is?
  5. Hi all, Are these chippers reliable and as bombproof as they look?
  6. Jake will have paid Tyson bare bucks to take the knee (Tyson doesn’t care/has nothing to prove), and on his reign will continue he’s doing everything to not actually face a current contender because if he does so ends his hype/boxing career!
  7. Hi Nathan, is this domestic or commercial work?
  8. Any subbies available for 2 days work before the end of the month? £350 a day (more like a day and a half, so job and finish on the second day). Thanks
  9. Hi mate, got any feedback for us? Much appreciated
  10. Lady in red - great choice
  11. The thing is they clearly can otherwise the market where you live wouldn’t be saturated. Unfortunately when you have a very low barrier to entry to a career the wages are never going to reflect what you think you’re worth. On the plus side if you can wait it out with your 100k of kit and years of experience the market will eventually bottom out in your area. Strung out companies/operatives will leave the market allowing you to then charge a premium for your service, happy days!
  12. Slight fallacy, you trade in a free market but the market dictates what your services are worth. Yes, you can run higher overheads and want to be paid more but that doesn’t mean you will (otherwise we’d all be rich). We could all band together under one company and force a monopolistic market - then we really could set the rates.
  13. Is the industry as a whole made up of masochist’s?
  14. Morning, yeah that was my thought. Lazy movement on anything tracked means new motor/pump generally. I ran a trencher on my 925tx which was great and as you say higher lpm, as you say 38lpm is likely to stall a lot but might be ok for the right job (virgin ground). Trencher wise 6” width x 24” length although could get smaller if available. I was wondering about the availability of parts and whether can source alternative pumps/motors but guess mounting/space would be the issue. Just was thinking for the right price might be worth a punt as generally speaking looks in good condition for its age.
  15. Anyone had any experience with a Thomas 35dt? Not looking as a full Time material handler more wanting to put a small chain trencher on it - the hflow seems good enough to run some attachments for the odd job.
