  1. Ace, just checked myself out, £36 in the bank and a value of -5K. quality.
  2. I know, I was just looking for an opinion from a user:001_smile:
  3. It was for scale, that was a big plate...
  4. I know they are well built, but what are they like to use, anyone got one? Looking at the S-280
  5. I was trying to get one a couple of weeks ago, they had a 3 week waiting list... Try ACRO.
  6. And thats only because you like coffee. I got 8:001_smile:
  7. its 12% Robbing B@@@@@@DS.
  8. I have had 3 separate shocks at 240v (not in tree work) its not pleasant, but at 11kv you will FRY. literally. My dad knows a farmer who touched an 11kv line with a sprayer, the tractor stopped as the electrics failed, all 4 tyres on the tractor burst and melted. Scary stuff. You will probably find that the power co will do it for free, good news for your client, not for you..
  9. I always have one on my landy, a lot of plant hire companies only have pin hitch trailers. Its better for towing with a rope too.
  10. PM your address mate, I'll get my old man to send it, they have parts going out all the time.
  11. They have them in my local blacksmiths, I could pick one up tomorrow if you like? There's 2 different ones from memory, different load ratings.
  12. Does it have to have that push button locking pin or would an R pin do?
  13. A few randoms from the last few weeks, The last one being a 15% reduction I did today, nearly killed me, I am not as fit as I was.
  14. They are comfy, seriously comfy for a relatively old design.
  15. Try before you buy, harnesses are like jeans, you need to see if they fit. What fits well on one guy may not on another.
  16. I can't believe how much some stuff makes on there, what make was it?
  17. Forgetting the Global warming argument it does seem that this could have been easily prevented with a simple capping device, or even a marker designed to allow a successful nesting. But who would have thought about that before hand...
  18. You need a towing eye that swivels on your trailer if you are going to drive it over ruts like that.
  19. sounds good, whats your 30 tonner?
  20. Funny things trees, That one was clearly knackered. I saw one 2 years ago, its massive 100' tall and no joke 9'dbh, huge longitudinal cavity, beech bark disease, gano, kretz, and lots of very soft timber inside. It has a massive top too, lots to catch the wind. I drove past yesterday and despite the recent storm its still there. Who knows how long the one in the op would have lasted..
  21. Was that just before you knocked the down pipe off John? He he. That looks seriously handy.
  22. I am going to buy a processor soon, I will also be getting a big horizontal splitter that I can load with the crane on the tractor. If I am splitting down to say 30 cm diameter billets can anyone recommend a good processor to deal with these? My concerns are that the billets, being rough and unevenly shaped may cause problems for the saw on the processor and also may not drop evenly into the splitting chamber. Does any one work this way and have you any thoughts? Thanks
