  1. My Discovery wouldn't have got swamped by a van in a ford thus saving us a new engine repair bill so horses for courses i guess lol
  2. Cheers, using it for work as my van is off the road, much more suited to the task i must admit !!
  3. This was yesterday in the field opposite my cottage....
  4. Here's 3 pics of me 'inspecting an extraction route' earlier today lol

    CSCS cards.

    I can confirm this is absoloutly spot on the correct answer. On quotes, on site and on invoices refer to the works you are carrying out as Arboriculture and you will be fine.
  6. I turned up with a forwarder load of round timber for firewood that i'd been promising this old guy for weeks. Starts unloading it onto the pile as per usual only to be told by his daughter 20 mins later that he died a week ago
  7. Have you been spying on Skyhuck lol
  8. Get an american de-barker, operates like a stroke de-limber i think. Again PM Ed lol.
  9. Ok no worries, guess it was the way your post was worded !

    Log Storage

    Stick them in that nice big barn of yours
  11. Not being funny mate, BUT lol in another thread you are advertising your services for servicing and maintaining chippers. It doesn't inspire confidence in that service if you don't know where to go to get a 2nd hand chipper.... A quick internet search will pull up a fair few: Arborcut GA Masons Redwood JAS P Wilson Orange Plant Autotrader Etc. Beware cheap chippers as in these times it may be stolen...
  12. Best keep an eye on those half shafts, wheel bearings and transfer box Dean, probably won't see the week out now lol
  13. Biomass chip for large scale heat and power installations isn't screened mate, it is walked out of the lorry straight into the fuel pit. Low quality chip we send to be screened and mixed with a higher wood percentage. However we wouldn't pay you for that. Chip upto 18 months old can be used for biomass.
  14. LOL We were soliders isn't bad for a modern hollywood balls up.
  15. Is this just another little Yorkshire tale to promote Land Rovers Dean ? Just kidding mate, done the same myself countless times. Not in snow though !
  16. After weeks of struggling this was the final straw, Dobbin realised he definatly needs glasses.
  17. Dean, snowed off, i don't believe it, I reckon he's just physcing himself up lol
  18. Sod him, I wouldn't have even gone to the effort of writing this post Dean lol
  19. If it's machinery I would much rather buy from someone who has used the kit and has an understanding of capibilities. To many salesman read of a spec sheet... Climbing equipment again it is far better to buy from someone who has experience of a product. Honey Brothers, Craig / Judge, Nod, Ed, all fall into this thread and I would be quite happy doing business with even if they were my competitors.
  20. Hi mate, it all looks fine to me, perfect storage. Just watch out for oversize material. PM me your details and I'll give you a call and pop in next time i'm in the area.

    "Day off"

    I was supposed to be in Cumbria again today but the guy i was meeting cancelled last night due to the snow.....office day today i guess !! Got to go out and get a battery charger for the bike and a headlamp bulb for the Disco later today. Had great fun in the lanes last night on the way back from the gym lol
  22. Buzz

    My new toy.

    Cheeky git Stuart lol spoke to him about 3 weeks ago and all was well !!
  23. There was just a wee dusting when i left Cannock this morning, 3-4" when i got back at 6" at home up on the Chase. -1 in my kitchen when i got home lol No drama's here everyone just getting on with it. Like Stu said you just drive slower, it's just the pussy wupped SE that's always falls apart when we have some real weather. I'm qualified to say that having lived there for 30 years lol !! I think alot of people just use it as a cop out not to go to work to be honest. It's the elderley that i feel sorry for as this type of weather just makes life even harder for them. Those that care for them can't get out / won't go out etc. We really do have a defeatist attitude in this country these days.
  24. Having spent a night on Cairngorm in a snow hole at -20c I agree Rupe lol very snuggley lol
  25. Buzz

    Snow on the way!

    Looks nice on the north downs lol reporting 10"'s. Have fun lads and lassess. I'm off to Cumbria !
