  1. My advice would be, find out what works for you and do that and only take advice from people who already achieved the things you are hoping too.
  2. I used to have a Ducker with the blower, it would blow wet conifer into a trailer behind the mog with no trouble at all
  3. That is very smart!!! Why do they call them a "Triple D"?? If the D stands for "drive", should it not be "double D"??

    A taste of BC

    Nice one Reg!!!! You really are a great British export!!!!!!
  5. This was one of mine that worked better than I could have hoped. My Schiesling chipper has a nylon ring between the each feed roller and the hydraulic motors, there is a gear on both the motor and roller, this nylon ring has teeth on he inside that fit onto the two gears making a flexible link. A couple of years ago one of the nylon rings broke in half, I rang my dealer and they said it would be a while before they could get me one, so I ordered two and then thought I had better try and bodge a temporary repair to keep me going until he new part arrived. So I went to an engineering firm and got a piece of steel rolled to near the same diameter as he ring, I the took this home and squeezed it until it was a nice fit over the ring, I the cut off the overlap and wielded the ends together. I then put the two hales of the ring together and put the ring inside the steel band I had made, I then got some old cheep alan keys that come with kids bikes and the like. I wielded the alan keys on the band hooked over the edge so that the nylon ring was held in place. This repair lasted more than 18 months and was still working perfectly when I removed it and fitted the new part, I only did this as I was carrying out some other maintenance work on the chipper. The first pic is a new ring and the other two are the bodge
  6. I really don't know what you mean:confused1: It seems pretty simple to me. Advanced Course Search - Intermediate Apprenticeship in Arboriculture Advanced Course Search - Advanced Apprenticeship in Arboriculture
  7. Yes there is my son will be doing an apprenticeship with my firm and Myerscough collage next year when he leaves school.
  8. This is a subtle, intelligent advert intended to mate smart people think It was made to be shown in Australia, its defiantly not made for an American audience .
  9. I think they a pixels, not Lego blocks. To me its about people having virtual lives, digital pixels make up to big a part of there lives. Stilh are suggesting these people could start changing their real environment, IE get in the garden, instead of living a virtual life.
  10. Many years ago I crashed my mog with front mount chipper, the chipper was written off by the insurers assessor, they paid me out and sold me the scrap for £200. I had the chipper rebuild for much less than I had been paid out.
  11. I like it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some people really do need to stop being digital and get dirty!!! OK we spend time on here, but for me thats because I'm re charging my battery's from a day or week of real life. The way some people live their entire live "virtually" is really quite scary, IMO they are missing out on so much.
  12. Nice one!! You have to speculate to accumulate!!! What was the story?? Why were they selling??
  13. Where did you get these figures from?? I heard that the chance of tomorrow being the same as today is 33.3% and the Met office are right about the same % of the time. IMO the forecasting is rubbish, on Thursday we were told it was going to be cold on Saturday, by Friday they changed their minds and Saturday was now going to be one of the hottest days ever!!! (for the time of year) I get sick of them saying it will be dry, but it throws it down and vise versa. I would not mind if they were a little more humble and said things like "we think" or "it may", but they don't, they say "it will" and "its going to be".
  14. Most are LHD, but you can get RHD in the square cab models, but they then only have two seats not three and the gear stick is a very long bendy affair.
  15. This is possibly why our qualifications are seen as being of little worth. The fact that a 17 year old can be "fully qualified" does say a lot.
  16. I would say most Pollard's are formed from the topping of a tree, this is topping. If the topped tree is then maintained with regular cyclical re-cutting, it becomes a Pollard. I would say that most people top the tree to the collar of branch unions, rather than just sever the trunk.
  17. If that was the case it would make sense to sick to standard fuel until the saw is out of warranty, not just run it in.
  18. Indeed he would think a small saw with duel dogs is Pooh (or some similar term) how is that rude or a personal attack on you????????? To me its just an opinion, which I feel we are all entitled too.
  19. No he wasn't, he simple expressed his opinion. I guess because you could not come back with some good counter points to his argument, you got personal, which is pretty low
  20. :lol: So why are you posting at 10.30 on a Friday night?????????????????? :lol:
