  1. So you have the ring at the harness end of the lanyard???
  2. I have a small crab on both ends of my saw lanyard (makes switching saws easy) I simply hook the crab onto my carry tool.
  3. I can't stand having a ring, I always get my dealer to cut them off when I collect a new one. Do you not find that when you throw the saw up, catch the lanyard and the allow the saw to gently slide down, that the ring hurts your hand??? I find the the thicker the webbing, the more it folds and tends not to blow in the wind.
  4. The difference between a 1600 and 90 is HUGE What are you hoping to use it for? Running a chipper?? Front or rear?? Timber trailer?? Winch?? Hiab?? 1200's are OK, but are only 7.5 tonne, 1600's are all 10.5 tonne or more. There are some 1250's that are 10 tonne. 90's are really just a beefed up pickup, I thinks its actually a Sprinter engine. A 900 would be much better bet, IMO. Are you wanting Ag spec? Rear linkage?? front linkage?? Front PTO?? Rear PTO?? Hydraulics?? Working gears?? Crawler gears?? You really need to decide exactly what you want and then find that exact machine, if your not careful you could end up with a very expensive white elephant, IMO.
  5. You are wasted on here Kevin, that is worthy of Bills and Boon!!!and just about as likely. By your logic how do any of us survive??
  6. Wheat from the chaff!!
  7. On what grounds do you say that??? Given that councils go for the cheapest price, they are going to get people who cut corners, IMO and IME.
  8. Yes!!!
  9. Men from the boys John, men from the boys:thumbup1:
  10. You have grown on me Kevin, I kind of like you these days I pretty sure that has just sent a shiver down your spine, sorry.
  11. "Looking after the pennies" is OK, but you have to "speculate to accumulate", if I had simply looked after the pennies I would still be running a transit and tow behind.
  12. Please tell me this post is tongue in cheek
  13. Yes, it is annoying when people see you working from 100's of yards away and still feel the need to come through, when they could easily cross over, but I guess they are within the rights.
  14. Exactly, I always ask myself "how would I feel if my mum was trying to pass this way". I'm no fan of H&S nonsense, but any decent human being with give a thought to others
  15. I was waiting for that In my defence, I was agreeing, not mocking, although I know you enjoy both
  16. :thumbup1:
  17. Not seen it, which would suggest the rebrand is maybe not going so well??
  18. We can always rely on you for an inspirational post Jonny
  19. I like your thinking!!!
  20. :thefinger:
  21. So 75% of your turnover is profit?? If so you are running a very tight ship!!, IMO, wish I could manage that!!!
  22. Good thread!!! Glad I'm not the only one, I'm making a real effort this year to recapture my "can do" attitude.
  23. Presumable your don't pay your "workers", staff is normally the biggest cost in most businesses, so I'm surprised your costs are too high?? Are you charging enough??
