any you blokes know what 084/088 cylinders are fetching on the AUS market??
Is the duro chain worth getting for cutting roots? Got a digger coming tomorrow for the drainlayer on a building job and might take the chance to pull a few stumps out and cut a few roots of a council tree that are lifting the driveway and diving under the house. What could possibly go wrong?

Used a digger and ripped the fuggers out. I suspect the owner will have a council-induced 'please explain' moment sometime soon, when the council tree starts looking rather unhappy. Regarding this homeowner, one can only lead stubborn ***** to water but if they refuse to drink the logic let them suffer the consequences. He seems to think he is immune to the level of grief council suits revel in inflicting upon people like him. They can go to town on this guy if they wanted to. I calculate about $60k worth of work and costs/fees, excluding fines, if the council got involved. I figure he practically invited them to do so when he said rip those council tree roots out. We ripped so much more out than what I' consider reasonable. Time will tell.how did you go with it kiwi.

Thanks for that. My arse is covered. Made sure of that from the outset when I realised no designs, no permits, make it up as we go along kinda job. I'd need two hands to count the by-law and building code violations thus far, not to mention just general incompetent building. Illegal stormwater connections (two thus far) to council mains, I've jacked and packed the house beyond best practice, started building a non-consented deck yesterday after a digger mowed through the council's tree roots, done new work to an inter-tenancy wall that won't meet fire or building code regs, etc, etc.Kiwi
Jobs like that cash only, and run.
They come at the home owner and the first thing he will do is say, "I engaged Kiwi to do the work, he is an expert, and he said to do it like this....."
Food for thought
