  1. Yup. Josh introduced us to the Chung Hwa, for which we are eternally grateful!
  2. Plus there is an excellent Chinese takeaway!
  3. Samson splicing manual, buy the book or free PDF downloads from the Samson website. Plenty of vids on YouTube if you need some visual aids. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  4. Treeworker. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  5. I think he's just gloating. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  6. Good stuff, how old do you reckon it is? Always thought of them as being fairly slow growing.
  7. Not a fan of the L200, tiny load space on the standard model, ridiculous overhang on the extended bed model, plasticky, bits of trim tend to fall off, reliability issues with trucks that are worked hard. Personally dont find it comfortable, seat is too low to the floor for my liking. Test drove the D-Max, took it round an off road driving course, very impressive and everyone I have spoken to really rates it. Too new really to comment on reliability but Isuzu generally have a good reputation for reliability and service.

    Arb radios

    I use a bluetooth system, totally secure as they have to be paired, so no risk of cross chatter.
  9. Good stuff, are you looking for a full time position or freelancing? Have you got somewhere to live sorted out? And if so what area?
  10. Ian is a good bloke, you won't go wrong with him.
  11. Interesting job, and fine picture set.
  12. Call that a full load? There is still room for a stack of cones on the bucket rest!
  13. I can do that if you brought it up one weekend, let me know if you want a quote.
  14. Got to be worth a try. Just looked on the VOSA website, and they say you can downplate to change VED bracket, with no modifications, but to downplate for driver licensing reasons you need to modify the vehicle, which doesnt really make any sense either. I would fill the form in and see what happens, for £28 you cant really go wrong.
  15. Think you been conned there Ben, downplating doesn't involve any modification to the vehicle, down rating on the other hand does. You do have to show that the new plated weight is greater then the unladen weight.
  16. Fill in a vg10, pay your £28 and send it in.
  17. Why dont you just downplate the one you've got? Or upgrade your driving licence?
  18. You loved it really Pete, bet you're already looking forward to round 2 tonight!
  19. The man in the blue helmet looks familiar Liam, does he own a mad collie?
  20. 20l drums of pure rapeseed from a cash and carry, £1 a litre no vat......
  21. 8mm or 10mm?
  22. I have the CSF, very similar machine. If tipping is an issue you can fit wider or dual wheels, but as Dean says if often feels tippy but in reality you are nowhere near tipping over. In terms of value for money on a farm a tractor with front loader is probably better, pto attachments are cheaper than hydraulic ones. I like my machine because its narrow, and can fit on my lorry sideways, so I can get a bay of 10' lengths and the machine on.
  23. I fall out of a tree most days, just assumed I wasn't leaving enough pegs?
  24. I think I speak for everyone here when I say, please don't. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  25. Yeah, can we have a pic of you on location?
