  2. We had a 5 night stag do in the dam a few years ago, it was messy to say the least
  3. bags are a nightmare, a cube or similar is the way to go
  4. ive got a makita impact wrench which i use after ive loosened them slightly with a bar/socket
  5. Stormy here, pine removal can wait
  6. without being rude mark, if you dont like the way the forum works you know where the door is
  7. sometimes you have to do things country style
  8. you can do it without a bearing puller, we chocked ours up some breeze blocks, with 2 metal rods running across under the bearing cup and tapped the shaft through
  9. How does the risk assessment deal with that being an Arb approved contractor?
  10. Why would you take the risk, comments like that are daft and foolish
  11. ive just done the bearings on mine, plus the fans, both shafts, new anvills, new blades
  12. personally i cant stand leaflet drops
  13. weve just got a boxer 427 loader, and its been awesome
  14. ive got a goodwinch on the front of my pickup, try this company for a winch mounting kit. they were mega helpfull when i got mine, we modded the existing bumper and it fitted in well, and looks tidy Replacement bumpers & winch-fitting kits: Landrover Discover, Isuzu, Nissan Navara, Ford Ranger etc.
  15. Keep it simple, like axe throwing or tug of war Personally something that takes alot of messing around/organising/setting up would put me off. I go to shows to catch up with mates, get pissed an talk rubbish with my friends. I'm no Scrooge and am happy to get involved but it needs to be something that's quick and easy (I must have had at least 5 go on the axe throwing )
  16. why did the climber take off more than he can chew? :confused1:nothing failed, it was down to the groundie not working the ropes corectly
  17. agreed we take bigger, with far more controll with our grcs
  18. eko grip gloves, 10 pack
  19. Yeah, il put one up later when I'm at the computer
  20. Il donate a pack of 10 eko grip gloves
  21. If you don't like it, don't go. You are a sub contractor not employed
  22. we ripped out 200m of 6ft leylandii hedge earlier this year, ground the stumps out and pulled a trench through with a mini digger then replaced with 6ft western red. about 70m was over stood with mature horsechestnut. the hedge is doing great
  23. if your using a ropeguide the shackle for retrieval isnt needed. the working end will go through the biner then through the ropeguide, pull the ropeguide out then the whole lot gets stuck in the 2nd biner of the redirect and pulls out did that make sense?
