  1. for girton, you're closer to newark and lincoln than gainsborough. Im 10 miles the other side of gainsborough so its a bit far for me to be tramping the scorpion in the middle of harvest im afraid... try these as contacts, then just take the time to show up on lift day with a bit of cash for them. im sure someone would oblige Farmers near Collingham, Newark » Yell.com
  2. besides, the vehicle would have to be re-registered taxation class agricultural also, it's not just a case of insurance
  3. Milners do a new cyl head bare £230 or built up £430, I'd be looking first if not the gasket, at the egr cooler on the drivers side of the engine. They can corrode through and pressurize the coolant with exhaust gases and appear like gasket trouble... In that case I would just remove the egr setup... All assuming k74 variant
  4. you shoulda seen the one that got away Mike!
  5. Think ifor govern the price Jon. Everyone I spoke to when I bought my canopy was exactly the same price to the penny
  6. Welcome to the club! I've a line of dots across my kneecap where I cut and let fly a branch with too much gusto and my hand and saw came down and the teeth poked straight through my saw trousers reminds ya to keep mindful though
  7. Bandit Wasn't entirely convinced by the last Vermeer I used. Granted it was in a questionable state of maintenance, however my old bandit continues to go like a dream in it's second decade of work, and it's only got one roller yet it still hauls ass. Bomb proof IMO, and let's face it, reliability and ease of repair is ever more important
  8. We've those at some plants in the UK too. Couldnt tell you where, but the father of one of the lasses who keeps horses at our farm drives for a biomass haulier and uses them regularly he says.
  9. first photo from 1880 edition, 2nd and 3rd from 1837 must be something they dropped in later editions. cant find a date on mine this far
  10. this one doesnt seem to have the diagrams of the end of a log, or the taper in a log etc. seems to be tables only? im guessing in the couple or so hundred years it's been in print there are different versions
  11. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwHEAhelTlM]YouTube - ‪Wheelhorse log splitting‬‏[/ame] steady away on the mounted version. truck powered one is a bit padded cell for me
  12. My old man had eluded to the existence of this historic tome, but thought it was long gone. It turned up
  13. once again, the discussion dragged into farce. falling wood, dead or otherwise is as likely to drop on you from adjacent trees as the one you are felling. That's a known unknown, and nothing you can do about it. From a felling point of view, the diameter at the base IMO IS more important than its height, because the chances of using more technical cuts which require a deal more skill and accuracy is higher so i agree with Charlie most of my insurances are with NFU as are all my old man's for the farm. They dont seem competative in the tree game, though my policy quote including knapsack spraying was surprisingly good when spraying can attract a hefty premium and rightly so. Think they tried to impose a 20ft climbing limit on mine at one point!
  14. but err the chain shouldnt be going round with the brake on anyway
  15. Hi guys Anyone dealt with any company for one-off PL insurance for a trade stand? Thanks
