  1. no tensioner on the belt?
  2. top of the page, big box, says chat
  3. I think most of the insa turbos are load rated sufficiently, mainly because of the carcass theyre moulded on, but it's certainly not for me im afraid. too many stories of tread blocks tearing off remoulds, and when it's your only 4 contact patches with the road with potentially a lot of load on... again, not for me thanks. buy once buy right! try cooper discoverer, try maxxis
  4. when it first went live, there were tonnes of us on it, then just the die hard (Sad) few, and eventually we all kinda just... stopped. bring on the chat! it makes even more random discussions, even easier!
  5. either that, or if you want to get a fair sized saw in it, box in behind one or both of the dropsides
  6. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm zil
  7. I just copy Garth! he's only got a couple years on us and he's doing fantastically well for himself
  8. Im only 24 the same as you, and im a few steps behind you with regards running a business. Im full time employed, but self employed at the same time as I try and grow my countryside management and forestry business from the ground up. With any luck mine will be a business I CAN continue with for the forseeable future. I can see me ducking back into agriculture in the future, or ive other strings to my bow. I used to be a professional sound engineer, I do a lot of wildlife photography, and I still get very much concerned that Im not going anywhere or wont be able to. Diversification can be a strength, or can be a rod for your back, or somewhere in between it may lead you off down a road you never really saw coming. Im really not sure whether it's realistic in this day and age to have a firm long term plan in place. Everything's in such flux that it's sometimes a job to know what's going to be what next month!
  9. somewhere in the void between medium and large for me
  10. OK, what I'll probably do is get rails and a chain and borrow an 880 for the day, probably work out the best way of going about it. thing is, Ive not milled anything this large before, so what's the best way to go about it? Im hoping there will be some interesting grain in the forked end for one thing. Am I best to just slab it straight through then stack it to dry, and then do any cutting to size/shape later on a table saw? To that end, is that the best way of me doing any and all of my milled timber rather than making it into boards with the alaskan? I can get my head around the milling part, its the finer points of getting the most value out of a piece of timber that elude me.
  11. where is it situated? garden? field boundary?
  12. Id go with 346. revvy little bugger and just wants at it all the time from my experience. they get even better with use too! as far as handling/ergonomics go, Its the most comfortable, and easy to flick around saw ive ever used, on number 2 now. that front handle is a joy to move from one grip position to another for felling, snedding, whatever. so smooth a radius
  13. Just got this lump back to the yard. Far too much potential to firewood it! Far too big for my Alaskan yet I can't bring myself to quarter it. I'm sensing tabletops and all sorts. Got a sawmill not a million miles away but could well be expensive. What are my options? 372 with 28" bar and 24" Alaskan for visual size comparison. Thanks Jim
  14. Congrats mate! All the best to you all
  15. price im guessing would vary dramatically depending on whose insurance, contract lift etc
  16. I dont see a clip?
  17. I cant think of a single heavy metal farmer... :rock: plenty of metal head farmers sons round here mind you
  18. haha at least theres half a chance of staying underweight with it
  19. huh??
  20. That doesnt work out in theory, certainly not with digital television. stronger signal (to a point) only improves received quality, changes in signal amplitude would only directly affect analogue reception in that way. Volume information is transmitted within the digital data, not to mention several channels can now be found occupying the same carrier frequency. even in analogue systems, the received signal would be boosted/attenuated, filtered and or compressed to normalise the sound essentially, they've done it on purpose cos the folks selling you things have paid them to of course audio compression may be the cause, that's not compression like MP3, im talking 'proper' audio compression, where all the lows are brought up to 0 and the peaks are brought down to 0 which has the effect of flattening the dynamic variance and making the whole sound 'fuller' and 'higher average amplitude'. 'louder' isnt really the right word. take a classic rock album by say black sabbath, run it through a spectral graph, very little will get even near the 0dB point even though it is a 'loud' sound being recorded, whereas take a modern pop record, even a vaguely sedate one, do the same and it'll be sitting on the edge of clipping for most of its runtime. A 'hot' signal. in the same way compare a cinema movie. MASSIVE dynamic range, with a tv advert, very little indeed
  21. Yeah they do weigh more but the weight in the bed is spread more evenly across the axles due to their positioning (most of loadspace between axles, little behind vs half half on the 110)

    Did I say you? Similarly, what I'm getting at is, a single tree in a garden may be grown for timber just as a stand of trees merely for aesthetic value. Horticulture is exempt and that may be purely in the service of whims and fancy, Amenity horticulture has no useful tangible product yet comes under the Hort umbrella. Why should arb as always draw the short straw?
  23. what i cant remember, is which of the skin so soft range especially, it is. Ive a feeling it's this one but i stand to be corrected! Skin So Soft Original Dry Oil Body Spray

    I do wonder if they used the wrong word. forestry isnt really specific enough. Seemingly what we are expected to interpret it as, is Agriculture, Horticulture and SILVICULTURE? then you have a clear definition between the one tree and the many. Saying that arb is not a facet of forestry, outside of the realms of the exemption, isnt quite so cut and dried IMO
