  1. He's never been out and watched daddy working in a tree so I think the only place he could have learnt those rope techniques is from watching you practice bondage on your lass
  2. Too right Stevie.....there's loads of money to be made selling bits of deadwood if you can find enough mugs Trouble is...most of it went to Pete's house, I reckon this time next year he'll be looking down on us from lofty heights once he sold it all
  3. You want to see the size of Petes Oak deadwood pile from today !
  4. I actually spotted a natural coro that looked like the best barts hairstyle I have ever seen, so we left it in place I was working so hard I forgot to take a piccy
  5. We cut off about 2 or 3 ton. Was thinking of selling it for a couple of hundred a piece
  6. What a total waste of calories he can't afford to waste, give him a slap round the back of the head and tell him to stop acting about
  7. Todays job was habitat wrecking
  8. It wouldn't suprise me if an Arb wife came home with something like that. Our lass bought some bark chippings not so long ago When quizzed, it was because they were coloured blue
  9. Try watching this http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/maintenance-help/21274-demonstration-ms200t-carb-removal.html
  10. have a guess what the price tag was on this bit of firewood being sold as a garden feature.....bear in mind it wasn,t big, I could have easy picked it up
  11. Latest pics.....still a long way to go. Just need god to make the weeks 8 days long instead of 7 Where the landy is parked is going to be the chip bay
  12. I bet that tree sways a bit when it's windy
  13. The loader is awesome. The only problem I have found with it is it emptied my wallet and bank account
  14. Good find Rich Although when I opened the post I expected to find pictures of private parts
  15. I am going to keep hold just in case I sell the splitter in future, I've made it so it easily converts back to normal setup
  16. Don't know Went to get some hydraulic pipes made up for it today and the divs put the wrong ends on. It has got 50hp and three hydraulic pumps on the loader so it should go some
  17. Bought this splitter brand new and as yet have not used it. Bought it as a three point tractor mount and before I got chance to use it got shut of the tractor and bought the csf loader. So out with the spanners and welder and converted it to run from the aux hydraulics on the front loader. Had to remove the three point pump and drain the inbuilt oil reservoir I reckon I can wave goodbye to the warranty
  18. Price is a very good guide to quality I've spent the last 20 odd years repairing them. The cheaper they are the more they come in for repair.
  19. Decoys don't work I had a similar problem with starlings and looked into electronic scarers which emit a high pitched sound only just audible to the human ear. In the end I just topped half a mile of conifers which cured the problem as roosting birds like to have over head cover to evade predators. Some 15,000 starlings relocated literally over night
  20. A very presumptuous post if you don't mind me saying so
  21. Ed, how much is the tree for sale in the background ?
  22. Exactly my thoughts. Dave.......dont talk twaddle
  23. I wouldn't admit to owning that chipper ....
  24. Why do you paint over the ID plate on the hydraulic pumps, this is most unhelpful... a practice that didn't occur till recently.
