  2. god dammit!! just fell the damm thing it only encourages negativity:sneaky2:
  3. My wifey loves mine i think it must remind her of when we started courting i used to pick her up in my old 90, she used to have to whack the hand brake drum with a lump hammer through the middle seat to take the hand brake off:lol:
  4. err im not sure as ive never used one:blushing: i think they make it easy to start the saw but i wouldnt know as ive never used one:biggrin:
  5. I'm 6' and 15 stone and cant remember the last time i went into a greggs and bought just a pasty...... its usually 2 or 3 pasties a couple of bottles of lucozade a mars bar and on Fridays fish and chips:thumbup: this job makes you hungry:lol: P.s the skinny boys bruise easy and have to use the lady button (decompression buttons)
  6. I buy tackle when i can afford if that means saving then that's fine, it takes longer but its mine, so the way i look at it, if it doesn't go out that day in affect its not actually costing me anything. I can price for just a wage when works slow or i can price high when works busy or i can simply price fair my options are open. That could be seen as undercutting or just a safe business strategy. As nick says going big can pay off but staying small has its own benefits we will all get undercut the big question is as a buisiness can you afford to occasionally be undercut if you can't then you need to look at changing your buisiness plan or maybe the way you conduct your buisness.
  7. I can never be a man, not now, the wife chose that motor i wanted a hilux tipper:blushing: But i have to agree she was right looks far better than an hilux:thumbup:
  8. I wounder how many arbtalkers would tender for the contract regardless of whether they signed or not:confused1: I can see this thread turning nasty:thumbdown:
  9. 3500kg, still got plenty of power at mo but if engine ever goes ill have it fully reconditioned and chipped:thumbup1:
  10. Td5, havn't put it to work yet still sorting all the niggely bits and building chip box but im liking so far:thumbup1:
  11. This is my new toy swapped a 6 year old cabstar for a 12 year old Land rover tipper:confused1: But Land rovers rock:thrasher: Chip box going on on wednesday:thumbup1:
  12. steve do you do a removal service on a weekend:lol: i bet you can do it in one trip if you put there belongings through the chipper, those sofa springs do nowt for ya blades though:lol:
  13. My tech a's fell to bits at the very sight of hard work, but were very comfy:001_rolleyes:
  14. you'll pay twice if you don't get what you want. Gladiator 1 are good and will last you a long time. I reckon that mine lasted 50% longer than my stihls so there good value imo.
  15. Bob please dont show us your pile. Just keep using the cream mate:thumbup: Oh and dont try to put them on the fire:sneaky2:
  16. Treegeek would you please go and wash your chipper and don't post again until you have got something useful and informative to share with the arbtalk audience:thumbup:
  17. This unit in my opinion is a waste of time, most of the content within CS50 is covered by other units but there also bits that are of relevance to our industry, that said NPTC would have been better re jigging the original units rather than introducing new ones. CS 34 should only require cs 30/31 as its pre-requisite and should have a maximum diameter as in 31. Cs 32 should include assisted felling (rope/winches not just wedges) and CS 35 should include removal of damaged limbs from the ground and, possibly have a part b for aerial removal of damaged limbs with a pre-requisite of cs 41 Simply my opinion:thumbup1:
  18. Was it dirty? probably just needed a good wash and it would have been fine:sneaky2: Just couldn't resist. sorry:laugh1:
  19. why? Do you intend to bend many bars?
  20. unfortunately laminated bars don't straighten:thumbdown:
  21. oh why not more the merrier:thumbup1: Any how i know a few that would have cut that crosscutting if it was only 6 inches below the ground:sneaky2:
  22. yep that'll do:thumbup1:
