  1. I would go the academic route.Its not like theres loads of work out there at the moment,so you won't be missing out whilst your studying.Also I would think that having more academic qual's might make it easier to get a less physically demanding job in Arb.
  2. Has the vibration gotten worse? Seems strange that the vibration comes in at a certain speed,then goes away only to appear again. Can you take off the rear drive shaft in your Shed,jack up the front and run it to have a look?If you take off the front wheels then you'll have plenty of room. Take the front shaft off.Engage difflock and still take it to Manchester.
  3. £2000 Thats my best guess considering your hiring in help and removing any wood.
  4. Felling some roadside Trees last week in the snow. Chilly but beats rain!
  5. Good to know mate! I have a mate who is handy with a Welder,he wants some Oak planks for a table.And in return.......
  6. That does look good! Do you put a sheet of Steel in the bottom of the burner,or don't the bottoms burn out of them? Nice job!
  7. Larry was now sure that the two guys living next door were more than just "close freinds".
  8. Its bloody hard to tell on Video,also standing on a slope above the Tree can be deceptive. Anyway,these guys would deffinatly know as they are true Professionals.[ame= ] [/ame]
  9. Sometimes Big is all you can do.
  10. Sorry to hear that mate! You take it easy and get well soon eh!
  11. After reading about far too many things being stolen,I thought that together we might be able to offer some tips to keep our gear secure.Wether it be chippers,Vans,lockups etc. Here is one that I used to use.I used a D shape cycle lock over the Clutch and Brake pedels of my Landy.Then I would chain the steering wheel to the Brake with a length of Grade 8 chain and a Abloy Padlock.A pretty cheap solution to at least slow down any theives.
  12. I like the adverts.The advertisers are all firms you can get feedback on from people on here. Good resource.
  13. Never seen that happen in the past. Just one of those things I guess.
  14. Here you go Ed. However garnishing your bottom with mear Salt and Pepper,won't do much to disguise the taste.
  15. Trees that had been filled with concreate. Why would that ever have been a good idea?
  16. I would have thrown it in the water from up the Tree. Amatures.
  17. One of these will fit nicely onto the back of the Mog.On the back of the Rascal I plan to put a quadbike,and on the quad I will put a wheelbarrow and in the wheelbarrow a broom.
  18. Fido's disaperance confirmed the theory of Car boot Vortex phenomena!
  19. 090 is 137 CC 090 GD has gears in the final drive,I have never seen one but "back in the day" this was the last word in saws running long Bars?
  20. We are in a service industry. If,after explaining to the client all the best options they choose the less correct solution and still want you to do the job then do it.It is after all the clients private property. *winds in neck*
  21. If your not going to be using the machine all that much,consider a petrol powered Chipper?Cheaper to buy and maintain than a Diesel chipper.
  22. Very nice landy indeed! Welcome to the site mate!
  23. Great post! I always like to see pictures of Unimogs in action.Especially after working on mine all day.
  24. I can almost see her "Clutch".
