  4. Behave It's been years since it has caused me grief, probably since I retired, I'm just generally grumpy now.
  5. Course it’s a race, first there’s a bang, then everyone starts running.
  6. The reason you don't see many is they rotted well. Remember see a fabricator / welder repairing cab on one, he said was costing more then truck was worth. Think taxing one was a bit of a grey area, most got away with agri or multi use. Last arb one I saw for sale was taxed agri had turboed perkins engine fitted.
  7. I was in my early twenties and already worried in crowded places then. Not to mention Grenfell, some things don't change when there is money to be made.

  11. Yesterday
  12. I used to work in the IP Telecoms industry. My first job in 97 was for an ISP, one of the first business ISP’s in the UK. There was a real tech nerd vibe about the place and on the tech support website there was a full page banner saying “Before you give us a hoot, please shut down and reboot” it solved probably 3 out of 4 of the problems..
  13. Hi I am looking to buy a Timberwolf 18/100 chipper would anybody on here have one for sale?
  14. same ! 😀
  15. Last week
  16. 40! Youth left me with my hair 20 years ago. I do have a secret weapon. A very heavy sledge and a sharpened leaf spring. It will cut and lever any small stubbon bits. Pic from a previous job. If you cant get to the roots you can smash through it below ground level. I found most of the roots small and some rotten, there was one large 4-5" root on one side, very odd! Didnt take long to smash. Helped customer with tipping, she has a nice small van.
  17. You are as has been stated by more than one mentally ill, or utterly dumb.
  18. kram

    Ladders

    Nope I quite like the ones I got, one of my best arb purchases. They are exceptionally stable as an A frame, light and compact for the roof rack. 10 meters fully extended if I remember correctly, 5 meter as A frame. Only thing I dislike is when using extended with the bottom type sections leaning against a tree, they are too wide and I dont know how strong the rungs are like that. But in that example I didnt need the extra height, could have removed the end section. Anyway it worked. The other disadvantage is in the example above, if you had it fully extended, a groundman cant easily lower the upper section without flopping the ladder down to the ground, as the adjuster 12 rungs up in that pic.
  19. Chain oil? My 201 is always a bit incontinent like that, don't know why it's worse than other saws.
  20. Yup, it will either be petrol or oil. The colour of the plug after a bit of running may give you further info....black is rich, white or oily....oil.
