  1. What a load of tosh! Amazing how you all hear from someone else! Hear say is poison! We've had belts done on ours & new alternator. Body off? What a joke! Go on fact, not rumour! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  2. Ah, just pull the pin! Seriously, if you disconnect the grab pipes then pull the pin, you'll find out then without knackering anything. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  3. For the earlier question, prefix F reg was Aug '88 to July '89. 👍 Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  4. Quick fist. There's a couple of sizes. Plenty on ebay👍 Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  5. Very nice Tom. Looked tricky but well thought out.
  6. Very nice looking dog Paul. Do you use him for stud? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  7. Know that feeling Matt, thoughts are with you. Remember the good bits with him. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  8. Haha! I may see if I can sneak in stealth mode sometime, see how far we can get😎 The tree is up in the dales national park. It's on the side of the B6255 between Hawes and Ingleton. I spotted it and had to have a pic. You can imagine the comments from in the car!! What the pic doesn't show is that the rock had no major flaw. The tree was simply growing in a depression/crack on its top, no trace of rock fault or roots lower down. Intriguing to say the least. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  9. Having a ride about today and spotted this mature hawthorn. Generally fascinated at a trees ability to survive. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

  11. In farming you have to remember one thing, if you ain't the farmers son, or to become his son inlaw, you are merely a number. Loyalty counts for nothing. If you don't like it, move on. For sure there'll be another farmer around the corner willing to let you earn his living for him. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  12. Here ya go Adam, taken today just for you! Goes to prove the old fat lads still do heights😜 Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  13. Too many young bucks coming up all the time to raise rates for tractor driving. Many of them do it for the cool factor and accept the crap wage. These days they're all on FB and the like showing off what they're driving. Seems that's more important than getting paid what the job really deserves. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  14. Are you going to be happy with a small saw like those above after the rancher? Out of the above I'd go for the echo or makita every day above the 251. Horrible thing. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  15. Some big old trees there Josh, shame to see them go:sad:
  16. If that's the budget and you can get a makita for that, go for it. It'll be a better saw than a 400 quid stihl. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  17. Haha, just to clarify I wear my watch on the right hand👍 Can't believe I actually watched on of those vids lastninght😳 Just to see how it's done like. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  18. The instructions (if any)that come with the looms are useless! Youtube is your friend. So I'm told:sneaky2:
  19. Ok, someone has to be a man and ask.... What loom do you need to do the flowery one Ian?
  20. Too embarrassing for words, so just this; Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  21. Sounds like you have the same trouble as me, stihl through and through. The issue with this is when it comes to buying a new stihl. There's hardly a good one on the market!! Oh, that's with the exception of the 660😎 Just accept it like I did and buy the husky. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  22. Yeh, I know what you're saying Jon, only trouble is my gear is all kept together. Sort of all there if it's needed. It's well secure, in fact I haven't anywhere any more secure. My worry is if I got totally cleaned out, only part of it would be replaced but insuring it all is a fortune. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  23. Seems quite clear of what I read of it so far Paul, cheers for the link. It still rears up the ole question though, "Is domestic tree work classified as forestry?":sneaky2:
  24. Ok, I'm having a sort out with insurance at the moment. I've got my tools insurance with NFU, and the policy I have basically means I pay a %premium on the value of what's insured. I have a basic amount of small tools insured that's not specific but anything over £500 is listed with serial number etc. So, over the years as more kit is added to the over £500 list and the premium goes up, but now there seems to be a lot of "reserve" bits of kit on there that's hardly used. Is it really worth paying extra for something that's sat around these days? What you guys do would be of interest.
  25. I can't see the problem. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
