Any of you grinders out there think 4 x 4 grinders are the way to go or would the extra costs not be worth it on 4012, 352, 1635, size machines.??

Not really worth it mate imo,on big 50hp grinders i'd say yes definatly. how are you finding stump grinder sales? stump grinding has become very quiet,and the rates have come down dramaticly,other than to many machines for the market ,have you got any other reason why grinding has or is going down the pan?

Dave i'll say one thing ,you was right about 352's having to much vibration,whilst i'm not having any serious problems ,i'm for ever tightening up nuts and bolts..

Ross good to here from you ,did you get back with the misses or are still enjoying the single life..lol

 

[Ross Turner]

Did somebody mention that very old fashioned game called cricket..lol

Ekka I heard on the grapevine we won the last rugby world cup..

 

[a_lopa]

Might go to the boxing day test in melbourne and get aled up,you have some classy players coming thru and our dads army are just about out the door!

Seasons greatings to the UK guys/gals hope you have a prosperous new year.

 

[ROLLACOSTA]

Lets just face facts we're just no good at cricket,dunno if its the lack of kids coming through the ranks,bad coaching who knows,I must say cricket isn't a popualar sport over here like it was..

Anyway Aussie i'd go to the cricket sounds good for laugh,and always more fun with a beer or 10 ...Seasons greetings to all the Aussies on here..

 

[a_lopa]

Well Warnie is retiring and the hot news here is he wants to coach the english team as he prefers to live in the UK,he was basically calling the shots thru Steve Waughs rein as captain(waugh said this)i think you will improve quite rapidly,he's one hell of a competitor.


cricket is very very popular around my region and australia wide you could feild 3-4 test sides no problem,getting a spot and keeping it near impossible in 1st class.

 

[Ekka]

Thanks Rolla and I bet you Brits would love a white Christmas. Merry Christmas to you all and be good or Santa wont visit.

It's hot here, we're gonna do a smoked pork on the weber but have some great seafood too. I love prawns, bugs and crabs.

Warne would have been capt if it wasn't for that snitching ????? going on about some dirty phone calls. Then dont forget he had a year out for substance abuse coz of some junk he took for losing weight. It cost him the captaincy.

I think the difference would be that people get inspired by seeing an ordinary bloke with extraordinary skills .... a passion for the game and who gives a rats ass about what some snob thinks.

Many tried to crap on Warne, but at the end of the day they aint taking wickets either.

Lopa, screw MB and his dictatorship. My sig carries the mark for a while like it did for the Crocodile Hunter. Let his nights be sleepless.
