Purchase of Stihl AR2000 Backpack Battery, Battery Storage Box, and Weight Kit for AP adapter. Price listed is for the AR2000 Backpack Battery.
 
Cost: £750
 

"Fantastic kit, no issue with overheating even when faced with the extreme work of logging log after log until the AR2000 backpack battery was discharged. The battery can cut an IBC of green willow logs on a single charge. These were not withies, but proper trees, some of which were the full depth of the bar.

The battery will also work on seasoned standing dead WychElm, but needed supplementing with 2 x 300s batteries to do an IBC crate. Very hard work on any chainsaw, impressed with it all the more being battery.
The 2 x 300s batteries did manage to bring up the hot light when done solidly. The hot light only comes on near the end of the batteries discharge. So work in batches with loading and moving in between cutting and there is no issue. Obviously being WychElm the chain was sharpened several times as it is hard as can be!
The saw is a MSA220C, also supplied by Galloway Hire Tools earlier this year."

I bought a Husqvana ride on from GHT and took deliver two days ago.
 
Cost: £7699
 

"In fairness I could have bought cheaper online but they did amend their quote to be more competitive. Although slightly more expensive than online their price include full assembly and PDI. On pick up Kevin and Linda we’re pleasent and helpful, Kevin in particular went to some lengths to familiarise me with the operation of the machine before he let me drive away. All good so far!!"

Purchase and installation of a Stihl robotic lawnmower.

"Kevin came out promptly to look at the garden and discuss options for a robotic lawnmower. A number of options were considered and advice provided. Once we had concluded the way forward, he returned timely and when he said he would and installed the cable and set up the machine.

An excellent service, knowledgeable about the product and I well anticipate excellent after sales care also."

Work done has included repair, hire and new item sales.

"The repairs were done to the highest standard in a timely fashion, new items included petrol power saw, petrol hedgecutters and various sthil accessories. Staff are very knowledgable in all aspects, and hands -on demonstrating new equipment. Highly reccomend any new customers to go to Galloway Hire Tools first !"
