  2. Not all all ,I can tell u its the same mostly where ever I've worked .. Tree surgeons don't get it ,the quicker your off site the more money you make, they less chance you will be done for overloading in a 3.5 tonner . In respect to a so called valuable commodity, that's pointless, until logs are cut ,split , dried , delivered and monies are in your hand ,its worth f all, also don't forget the wear and tear of a saw ,just to log up oversized timber .. then going to get the shit to start with . Or may be tree surgeons need to stick with oversized bushes rather than proper trees that other firms can handle .

    Eh!

    See my last paragraph above. I just watched that badtard Biscuit cat kill one of the 2 surviving Moorhen chicks, that had started to come out onto the lawn to feed with the the parents. With my own eyes. Fornicator! And I mean just immediately after I had fed him his lunch. But there are other semi feral cats hunting our ground so I suppose no particular point in blaming Biscuit in particular.
  6. Have the same stress control box on a ch25 i recently bought but the wires have been cut 1 blue 1 black 1 brown, I,m thinking of re,wiring it to see if it works but no idea where those wires go, anybody any ideas?
  7. I never had a paper round,, but there was always copper wire and lead pipes.
  8. Hi All I ap0ologise if ive posted this in the wrong place Im planning to bring a lovely old Lister powered MT40 to France and wanted to ask any of their experiences with older machines and getting a carte grise for them There re two issues I am chewing over at the mo No 1 is getting it road registered here as anything over 500kg needs its own registration Specifically its a question of conformity (certificate of Conformity CoC) to EU standards for the chassis/trailer on which the chipper is built Ive asked Greenmech in the UK and France and the are struggling to help since back when the machine was built they did not get CoC Ultimately I might have to do it as a unique process through the DREAL (organisation responsible for road compliance) So if anyone has any info about tow hitch and brakes fitted perhaps I can check ot the manufacturers and ask them for details of UK compliance as background for the DREAL process Any thoughts comments would be great? No2 is importation, has anyone imported a chipper into France, and particularly such an old machine that is second (don't know how many hand actually) Do I just take it to the DUANE at the port of entry, or can I start the process before so they already know I'm coming? Again any thoughts? Matt

  11. So I have put a few hours on the Grillo. It cuts great. It doesn't clog and stall like the Bolens did (which I was really asking too much of it to become a rough cut mower). It just smashes through everything, rocks and stumps included. I like the simplicity of being able to remove and sharpen the blade tips. - It needs choke to start even when warm, so I think some carb cleaning might be helpful. - I'm going to raise the deck a bit. I'm hitting too much even on the highest setting.

  15. Looks like the fallen limb was holding a washing line ! Apple trees can go on and on producing fruit even when they are looking worse than that one . If the fallen limb is resting on the ground but still attached it could well still produce fruit but it does look untidy so trim it off carefully . Log it up and burn it in your stove . As for the pocket with what has become soil in it , put some daffodil bulbs in there . Looks great in the spring . seen it done .
  16. The ultimate " sleeper " I would think !

  18. Don't know, I'll ask our kid. All I can remember is his name was Pete.
  19. A mushroom from under the tomato jungle canopy. And some stuff on the bench that you can actually see. Did find a cucumber in said tomato jungle the other day too. There are squash plants in there as well.
  20. Its not the normal done thing in the building trade. Maybe because its work that the electrician has not completed himself he is being wary.
  21. Fergal is very good and absolutely spot on with his thoughts - hats off to him.
  22. Not since my inherited graphite spray can lost its propellant. I also have a huge tub of Rocol Moly disulphide tho I wouldnt put that on or near climbing kit, just incase it reacts in some unexpected way.
  23. Seems VDL and the EU came running when he snapped his fingers.
  24. It's the threads of mine which would potentially wear out first, being aluminium male and female. I have a mix of aluminium and fibre glass poles (for utility work) but nowadays as long as not working near electricity I would probably replace with carbon fibre tubes.
  25. Do you give a discount for taking away the wood and branches? I know how much you get selling them to B&Q
