  1. Past hour
  2. My point is you don't have every part of your life investigated and trawled through for going fishing. Hell, even a school DBS check is £50 just to check your not disbarred and a wrongun.
  3. Really?, every amphenol connector I've seen on military equipment was soldered to within an inch of its life.
  4. Paul, send me a video of you reverse loading your wheeled stand on mini loader up ramps into a truck so I can see how to do it please. Ta.
  5. Got a bit of time to day to iook at it again,so I found. It would run at full revs assembled back together, popped rocker cover off and tappets were out of setting reset them. Tried it again no luck, so while it was running popped breather pipe from rocker cover to airbox off and smoke like a coal fire, and engine ran better and ran flat out with no spluttering. So I am thinking rings gone.
  6. Today
  7. Four of these, and one more tomorrow. Bit of climbing, bit of pulling.
  8. This is already being trialed in forestry, it’s super site dependent and the tech is almost there for incredibly dense forests. I would imagine it’d work well in the uk woodland. Practical skills will always be required but it’s true that things are being lost. In NZ we are loosing a lot of our timber falling experts as everything that can be mechanized has to be in a lot of forests due to health and safety regulations. Crews are starting to loose that expertise onsite. I come from a very practical background, 15 years on the tools doing various climbing things here there and everywhere but I’m really excited about this new innovation and integration into my daily work.
  9. Just read this and other forum equipment maintenance threads, develop your own thoughts from issues and see if you are correct as the dialogue continues and others comment on possible fixes. YouTube has many vids that may be of interest. Get a few scrappers, strip and learn. One of my things is to question every part and question what it does and why it is constructed in that way....a sort of fit, form, function type analysis.

  11. So after many years of being in business initially tree work but now only grounds maintenance I am considering not having anyone on PAYE and instead only self employed for set days a week. I have tried this in the past with tree work but at the time we were always rammed with work and needed someone there full time so it didn't go anywhere. I can see the pros of not having anyone on PAYE but not many cons. Does anyone operate a grounds maintenance business this way?
  12. Have you considered New Zealand? There’s a job advertised yesterday, less extreme weather, great country, great people, great rugby to watch or play and no nasty snakes(on land?) or crocs😳. If I was young again I’d go again in a flash. Must add I’m nothing to do with the NZ Labour market.

  14. Of course! A friend of mine said there were too many plants which is why they didn't lay over far enough. I think it's because I didn't push them over far enough or trim enough side branches off.
  15. It doesn't work. As some may remember I identified as a wee bus one Friday morning in a ranger towing a digger, but I still had to pay the bus lane fine.
  16. Glad you managed to get out of the sink, no shower in this hotel?
