Not calling a certain 'secondhand woodchipper/stump grinder dealer based in the north east' bullchiters but some of the kit they sell looks 'clocked' to me some of the kit looks a bit to used and abused to have the hours they claim are on the clock,what ya all reckon ??

I reckon unless you know for sure, I would be very dubious about putting that down in a public forum...
Although theres nothing wrong with me saying they are very expensive...
 
yeah be carefull unless you've had poor service or a bad experience
everyone is entitled to their opinion
not so much filling a gap as it is they dont have much serious competition

i could tell you about two poor machines i bought but thats not productive
u live n learn eh!
 
iain, unfortunately due to house selling and cash flow cos of the ex, i am not able to do any courses yet until the house is completed and ive got the loan from the bank to cover the losses. i am getting extra money to cover courses but until then i cant even afford to ****!!! cheers for the info and i will get it all done hopefully soon.
 
All went as smooth as a babies' bum!! Spoiled with perfect winds and acres of space to get it down in. Cheers for the work, Im really desperate and glad of every penny I can get. Can we have a tricky one next time please? Nice to work somewhere where everyone is working in perfect harmony!! :cool:
 
Yeh you need the money like i need a hole in the head....still i'll see if i can get another tricky one for you bigA
 
Hmmm!! Hole in the head? There's a thought!!! Lol! Did an Ash today with even less space and it was as dead as F***!! Seriously, good to work with ya mate!!
 
well i had a fight with a lamppost whilst ridin home from work on my mtb 2nite and came off worst, no broken bones but bad tendon and ligament damage to the left shoulder. out for a while. looks like my 1st disciplinary for sickness iss is inevitable! also our agency lad took a blunt silky to his left thumb palm muscley bit this morning on his second cut of the day so we all had our silkys confiscated cos of 2 many accidents. dont know what the overall outcome will be? hey ho! house is sold and completing in 2 weeks so things are lookin up. might get those courses done sooner than i thought.

hell man!! You working for the nanny state or summat, warnings for this sh!t and confiscating tools for that sh!t!! Tell 'em to shove it !!
 
Who confiscated the Silkys?.What do they expect you to use up a tree an "Axe"?.
What does the generic risk assesment say about the use of a silky in the tree?.

Just remind them that under the industry best practice(the risk hirechy)it is recommeded that you use a handsaw if your ropes are to close to where you are cutting with a power saw.
