Having just driven the quad over my chain saw, it fell off, and whilst I was wriggling around a tight bend and I reversed over it, I wondered what tools other people use. I have a 15 inch Husqvarna chain saw which is my work horse, a 24inch Valid chainsaw very very cheap Chinese but it does the business , a long handled bill hook and a standard bill hook the later from Axminster power tools. So what are the absolutely indispensable tools that you have

Its the Quad as the main tool to move all the other tools around that makes life so much easier than a wheel barrow. Oh yes the Kelly Kettle.

Interested in the ride on lawnmower and trailer - just been into a local menders to see if they have any with broken decks that I could purchase. What's the Hp of yours Darren. I'm asking not in the 'how big is yours 'cos I'm gonna buy bigger' way but the one they had I think was a twin cylinder jobby and I seem to remember he said it had been 11Hp. I've got a trailer I've built but think the tin foil hook on the back of the mower will need to be 'upgraded'! The owner asked them to ask for £200/250 - what did you pay (if you bought it that is)?
