I missed out on that ram anyway. When you say a bore of 3" do you mean the piston diameter or the overall diameter? I was looking at ones with a50mm piston and overall 100mm?

ok cheers think ill find a bigger one. i dont sell them its just for my own use, i burn a lot of wood. a quick measure of my unsplit logs show there around 12" and the fire will only take that but think i wold be better off with a bigger one, can gurantee at some point ill wish i had if i dont!!

looking at building a log splitter, what sort of stroke ram are people using, im thinking of one about 13.5" but wondering if it'd be a bit small? what do people think? cheers mike

Just seeing if there's any work going in the new year around the north west. Will travel about an hour from Manchester. Got 30,31,38,39.

yeah id like to know the same, where in lancs? pm also sent!

ben youve put on weight, and im not sure the red handbag goes well!!

the bolts are a different diameter, so it wont go in the same holes

Ok cheers mine musnt be quite right then cos the pin doesn't seem to a right lot, wd40 to the rescue!

Just bought myself a hydraulic h14 and wondering how much the freespool lever moves from side to side? I can't decide if the spring loaded pin is used to hold the lever central or does it hold it either engaged or not? The lever on this only moves about it's own thickness if that makes sense? It is both freespooling and engaging. Cheers mike

Closing day was the 11th

im looking at a getting a new helmet, had a black diamond a few years back and thought it was ok, but the attachment fastening seemed a bit flimsy/makeshift, also do they have side protection? just wodering if anyone uses one, its either one of these or a stein. cheers mike

im working for a company and weve been carrying a tracked greenmech on the back of a transit crewcab tipper, i knew it was overweight but didnt know how much till i rang the hire company the van is from. capacity allowed in the back was 1141kg if i remember correctly, the chipper weighs 1880 plus about 60kg for a set of ramps. still goes well though!!

It's obvious you don't get any funnier ben!! When u back anyway??

Where's an expert when you need one!!

Just wondering what the cause of this is? Never seen anything like it before?

Just wondering if trousers are independently tested or are there to many variables to make testing worthwhile?

Reason I ask two people at work have gone through their trousers recently, neither have clogged the saws up, and both have had minor cuts on their legs. The second, scarily, had seemed to cut along the sewn seem in the protective layers. I must add both trousers were different makes. Opinions please!!

Anyone got q copy of the camel trophy driver with the water around dash level?

Would you defender drivers do this??

I would if it wasn't a v8!! He was very lucky there!!!

a few of mine:thumbup:

cheers guys, unfortunately ive only just thought about it, and its too late to ring the council as i wanted to do it at the weekend, but found a website called mouseprice, while ill not take it for gospel it suggests its not council homes.

haha, to be honest id thought of that, but me not being the most tactful, id probably come across being a bit rude!

ive got a job coming up, its occured to me is there a way of checking if its a council house or not? without sounding rude it looks like it could be. i could see the situation of someone wanting the tree removing, the council not doing it as its not DDD, and the tennant having it done himself!!

any advice much appreciated

Ben I dont think I ever had my marbles!

so I guess that's somehow the reason for the air bubbles? I wondered if it was reformed meat.

Either way I still won't be eating it, haha.

haha there was one a while ago on the landy forums with a stuck defender in the falklands, sure it showed a helicopter lifting it out!

haha we had a tipper stuck in my old job, no pics but the same sort of thing, 7.5t komatsu wouldnt shift it and a u1600 wouldnt either. then his mate came along in another 8 wheeler and pulled it out no probs.
