  1. LOL!!! my wife said someone will pickup on that fork! Its there for scale mate and is full size, honest!
  2. I read the thread and posts that were deleted, it seemed to me that you had failed to follow ebay procedure with regard the problems you had. If you purchase anything on ebay, you MUST read the terms and conditions and if their is a problem you act in accordance with the conditions. You did not return the item, but left negative feed back, which is no way to conduct business, how can the seller sort out a problem if you do not return the item? As for the "old boys" accusation, what a joke!! This is a discussion forum, not some were for score settling and bickering, I don't want to come on here and read post after post of peoples winging about this that and the other!
  3. Where do you plug it in, when your in the woods?
  4. Good old "Moose" really nice guy. Dingle is back form OZ as well, or Dingo as I now call him.
  5. Self taught mate. I've never seen any one else do it, but then I've not worked with that many climbers.
  6. Another point I would make is that if you buy all your spare parts from one suppler, they are far more likely to be prepared to give you technical advice should you need it.
  7. With repairs its very much down to recommendation and personal experience. With new parts I use Alex Price as he has always looked after me well and I consider him a personal friend, but surly others could simply ring round all the UK dealers, there are 4 that I know of, and get the cheapest price?

    Not trying to be picky,but I would find a couple of days a real inconvenience, if one of my saw broke it would up and running again within an hour of me reaching my dealer.
  9. The truckloader was a very good starter chipper in its day.
  10. I find this difficult to understand? You can only be prosecuted for "damaging" a TPO'd tree, so he would have to have cut living tissue, surly?
  11. Dean don't you find that you can convert fire wood much quicker with a few of you? How about me and Todd come over one week end, and help you convert all your timber, we will stay till we've cut and split every bit! IF you promise to return the favor:sneaky2: What you reckon ?
  12. A C Price is also an "actual merc dealer".
  13. In a nut shell mate!!
  14. Yes I do !!, most of the 3.5 tonners I see are well over weight!!
  15. The thing is THEY don't know, they know what they WANT it to be, but until there is a test case taken to court, it is not clear cut, IMO. Are agricultural contractors harvesting a farmers silage for the farmer exempt? its not their silage.
  16. They do mate, came in last year!!
  17. I think your wrong, the chips become mine when I take down the tree and chip them.
  18. OK for a start, the definition of "goods" for the load carrying aspect. If a farmer carry's straw or hay from his fields to his buildings, this not hire or reward, but he clearly benefits. I have been advised that chips if taken from the job to my yard "in the course of my business" and I have not charged for the removal of the chips, they are not "goods" and it is not "hire or reward".
  19. I bet you weren't prosecuted. Just told to stop running on red? There needs to be a test case as there are so many inconstancy's in this legislation.
  20. Not I ! But I may undercut your price, where is it!
