  1. Putting my office furniture up for sale on gumtree and Facebook probably. Want to get as much as possible for it to help pay for my new office but can’t decide what to try for, and I don’t want it to sit for weeks on end not selling. I’ve been caught out before by selling stuff too cheap and it being snapped up on an instant. its a walnut veneer. I’d say it’s not as good a quality as it looks though. In superb condition all over. Paid £1000 for all 3 units if I recall. what do you reckon it’s worth second hand?
  2. They're gonna feel that if the wind changes suddenly ?
  3. I don’t mind making subsections off they are used but more often than not they aren’t. I was actually considering whittling down some of the current ones
  4. Yep, I used to have Ally sides on mine
  5. With a standard buck and no arb body(ie high sides, toolbox etc) about 1.5t payload
  6. can't go far wrong with thick welding gauntlets for something like this. Reasonably cheap and do the job. You'll still need to handle with care though
  7. I stubbed my toe this morning, hurt like hell. Think you win though
  8. I climbed Ddrt with a dynamic rock climbing rope and a shunt for a while. In some situations the bounce was even benefical. The stretch when i'd put my weight on the line would help my thrust up pretty hard when I did the body thrust. Different system though
  9. yeah it would be really bouncy on the ascenders, specially on long ascents
  10. Works fine, although it’s semi static not dynamic. You definetly wouldn’t want to srt on dynamic
  11. Never used their saws so don't know how they compare to Stihl/Husky but did have a Tanaka hedge cutter that went on and on and on. As said above, Japanese reliability.
  12. The little saws are great but are really a secondary saw to the arsenal. If you only have one topping saw then definetly go for the 201 or 540, no question about it
  13. Whole Tree Chipper Hire Nationwide | Kingwell Holdings Limited WWW.KINGWELL-HOLDINGS.CO.UK High capacity whole tree chipper for hire. Heinola 910ES Truck mounted chipper. This machine makes short work of site clearance and contract wood chipping Kingwell have a number of different options available for whole tree chipping and removal of wood chippings
  14. Tried asking a local farmer with a telehandler?
  15. Cougar blue if its stil available is what I used for both, was a couple years ago now though
  16. I'm probably the last person who should get involved as my experiences on anything mechanical or engineering is limited to building lego sets with clearly laid out instructions. However.... One thing with the Schleising(220mx im referring to although I assume its similar across the range) is that it has an absolutely massive flywheel and theres literally nothing stopping that. You can chip with it constantly for a week without noticing loss in performance, unlike other brands of chipper with smaller flywheels, you'll notice the blades are blunt a lot sooner. I'd liken it to running an ms261 and a 461 on a 15" bar....the 261 will cut fine, but the moment its a bit dull you'll know it, whereas the 461 would keep powering on. Going back to my lego set now
  17. The socks or the Russian mafia? Think he might be telling porkies ?
  18. Spammer slipped through the net somehow. He’s fine
  19. Just removed Egg's posts Wayne, carry on as you were mate
