Excellent service! And an excellent machine! Helped me out at short notice. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Highly recommend!
Delivered on time, machines feel brand new, very polite staff, easy to book, will now be using this company for all my digger hires, honest review from a general builder who has had plenty of digger hires from other companies that aren’t as good as Breckland plant and tool hire
Great service from Start to finish would definitely recommend and use again

What this machine does best
- Pruning trees and cutting branches

- Clearing small trees and vegetation during landscaping or preparatory groundworks
Key specs & features

Why hire rather than buy?
For most landscapers, groundworkers and self-builders, hiring the MS182 C makes sense: you get a professional-grade tool only when you need it, without the upfront cost, storage hassle or ongoing maintenance. Hiring lets you match the tool to the job – and if your project ramps up, our team can recommend a different machine or bar length. For advice on site prep and when a chainsaw is the right choice versus other methods, see The Professional’s Guide to Landscaping & Ground Preparation in Norfolk.
Operator & safety notes
All chainsaw operators must wear appropriate PPE: chainsaw chaps, gloves, eye and ear protection and sturdy boots. Use a firm stance, keep both hands on the handles, and cut at waist height whenever possible. Chainsaws are supplied with a sharp chain and a safety guard; check tension and fuel mix before use. If you need a refresher on safe working practice, ask our hire desk for guidance before you leave the depot.
