Stihl’s reputation for being the premier manufacturer of 2-stroke equipment is well founded and for many years we have run nothing else. Stihl’s brush cutters and hedge trimmers are top notch, as is their industry leading 12″ petrol disc cutter, the TS410. In November we added two more to our fleet.

So what makes the TS410 so good? Simply put Stihl combine their long experience of market leading production with the latest technologies to make a petrol disc cutter that is efficient, reliable and operator friendly.

Starting the TS410 is aided by a small primer pump that delivers fuel to the carburettor and a decompression valve that helps reduce the pressure on the starter recoil (and operator’s bicep!). These features combine to reduce the amount of pulls necessary and effort needed in starting.

Once started the TS410 benefits from reduced-emission engine technology that gives more power with lower fuel consumption and pre-separation air filtration that gives longer filter life.

Operator comfort is addressed with Stihl’s anti-vibration system and modern ergonomically designed handle that allows the TS410 to be used in different working positions.

Gaining access to the back garden of many properties for diggers and dumpers can be a problem so it’s no wonder that equipment like the Hinowa HS701 mini dumper is so popular. We’ve just added another one to our fleet.

At just 758mm wide the HS701 can join the Kubota K008 1.0t mini excavator in the tightest of access situations for building and landscaping projects, saving on back-breaking manual wheelbarrow work. And with its high tipping, skip loading, feature the spoil is deposited quickly and easily into a skip or trailer.

Demand for the ever popular Kubota K008-3 micro excavator remains high so this week we added another one. This latest addition brings our K008 fleet to twelve.

The K008 weighs in at 980kg and has a maximum digging depth of 1720mm. It has an adjustable track width of between 700mm and 860mm and is ideal for working in small spaces, back gardens or where access is tight. The ROPS bar can also be folded down to aid access where height is an issue.

Adjusting the width down to 700mm is a quick and easy process thanks to a single lever operation in conjunction with the removal of one pin to fold the blade extensions.

Operator comfort is addressed thanks to the 008’s Three Vortex Combustion System engine which is quieter with less vibration and emissions.

In time for spring we’ve added another Kubota KX030-4 3.0t mini excavator to our fleet.

As well as offering Kubota’s world-renowned combination of power and performance, the KX030-4 boasts the biggest, most comfortable cab in its class, providing excellent visibility thanks to the expansive glazing.

The KX030-4 utilises Kubota’s excellent chip-key anti-theft system. This system makes each individual machine impossible to start without its dedicated key and almost eliminates entirely the risk of theft.

The KX030-4 is just 1500mm wide, 2420mm high and can dig to a depth of 2870mm.
