Are the grease lines pressure rated?

That folding hopper is the best for flat ground. The funnel shaped one is best for undulating terrain,thats what is was designed for. Who did you use to get the parts?I need some stuff for my machine and the local guy is worse than hopeless.

See There I go again.In your head well and good. Have a good trip,I expect to see you on here later on. Have a safe flight.
-
Hang on,I though I was furiously back peddling because I had made a fool of myself? Because I had misread the post and didnt realise that it was actually a tree and not a Stump. Because you said it was. I look pretty decent naked you know.
-
Am I naked in your dreams Andy? Just curious.

Please keep it coming mate. I enjoy living rent free in your head.

I work now and again for a guy involved in under sea construction. He recovered some kind of expermental valve that was lost on the seabed in Bergen harbour. The company that owned the valve paid £3 million to have it back. I asked him what the valve was actually worth and he replied "not much" . It was all the r&d thst went into the valve thst was worth the money he said,since it was salvaged he could have sold it to the competition.

PS I love wasting your time because I know just how seriously you take all of this. *Man on self proclaimed megabucks, spends half his life arguing with other people regarding a job he can never do on a forum regarding a subject he knows nothing about*. Excellent.

Andy You are an amature on here.Sadly just being Arbtalks top contributor dosnt mean you are taken seriously by anyone who can do the job. You are truely a Clown. Climbed that Tree yet?
-
You consider it a tree,I dont. Andy. Go outside an climb a tree. If you can Go do it
-
Post :1 The picture showing what is effectively a stump. It might look like a tree to someone without actual Arb experience but Even after 25 years in the game thats still a stump to me.
-
Its cutting down a stump mate. "Plenty of fat on the chops" for £750 even in London.Considering the only specialist kit required was a stump grinder, the arisings could have all been hauled away on a hired trailer behind a ford mondeo bought from autotrader for £500.

I enjoy Beer with a Whisky chaser. I tried a Lager thst I bottled a month back with a dram of this Canadian Whisky on the side. The dry hops of the lager combined with the sweetness of Rye Whisky are a great combination. One Whisky tasting I went to,the host put a Bourbon on the table as a wild card.All the twats were wanking on about it being a Scottish blend when it was actually some shite from a supermarket in the midwest.
-
I really like Talisker but it gives me a raging hangover. If you like mellow peat without the tang,this is a robust full bodied whisky with a really keen Finnish. Try some if you can
-
What Whisky I like depends on my mood. I agree with Andy that JW Green lable is great for the money,Aberlour 18 is nice.I think I have tasted a 25 from them too. At the end of the Day Whisky is 40% Alcohol and 60% bullshit. I went to loads of Whisky tastings before covid,mainly to try different stuff but the real entertainment is tossers trying to outdo each other with descriptions. " I detect notes of smokey wet granite and burnt tweed" etc

-
I would really like to see some pictures of that vintage plant Khriss ,its snowing here atm. @Khriss
-
Do you have any pictures of the vintage plant that you keep going? I am always interested in old machinery.
-
Have you restored much vintage plant Kriss?

I can't remember anyone actually buying 3 strand? It just sort of appeared,no one gave a toss about ratings or service life. I guess you replaced it when it had to many splices in it and you got sick of your prusik jambing every 15 feet. First season in Germany I bought that New England orange rope with the yellow line down it and a Blake's hitch. Combining that with my home made steelcore flipping I felt like I was ready for the millennium. Pow!
-
If its shot the wrong time of year its horrible. You might have had some that was taken towards the wrong end of the season. We eat quite a bit of it.
-
Could you not dig a deep hole in the area and cover it carefully with blades of grass. Then once you have captured them decide on wether your set them on fire, as Kevin suggested or simply backfill the hole with them in it in order to save on petrol? Conversely you could gather up all the soil and mix it with water in a slurry tank.Then deposit it all back through their letter box at 0500 on Christmas morning.
-
I wish most of the Poms that move away from the UK did that. Sadly they seem intent on getting just as outraged about things in Aus/NZ/Norway/Canada as they did back home.

Can you expand on what the " once in a lifetime " opportunity is please?
