  1. I would speak to trantex or whoever makes that clutch tbh. I had one go on a vermeer and IIRC cost me the best part of £350. Now I'm not adverse to dealers making money, they must as we all need to but I think they mark up WAY too much sometimes. For non dealer parts I always look elsewhere now a days. When items are marked up 300-400% you are being taken advantage of IMO.
  2. That should be worth a pretty penny to the right people.
  3. Not a play on your name BTW!
  4. I have two great inventions, but, well theres no way I'm telling anyone till I'm a trillionaire. BTW not saying your kinetic rope is a crap idea but wasn't there a thread on here ages ago saying they weren't any good? Feel free to correct me because I didnt know what a kinetic rope was then and have never used one.
  5. Ok...... You explain why your hanging a cat in a tree to the local warden. I fancy a little dinghy with a trawling net at the back tbh, imagine that at your local match competition. Well its good enough for the Spanish....
  6. I know, I have the scar to prove it unfortunately:laugh1: That was back when pants were pants and made from 85 layers of the finest ballistic. You used to sweat just walking to the truck in the yard in the mornings.
  7. A couple of 'old' fishermen have always said to me that bread is always the best bait.
  8. Ive seen a few of this type of vid/test. I wonder though how good a normal leather steel toe cap would stand up to a chainsaw running across the boot compared to a chainsaw boot doing the saw. Rather than trying to cut the boot in half. I bet an 088 to the top of the thigh on full throttle would destroy many chainsaw pants.
  9. You do and that looks like a good way to spend it. I usually do a bit of sea fishing and therefore catch feck all:laugh1: Although have done a bit of course not much though, definitely a higher catch rate.

    That is silly cheap, not good for the UK dealers though. I'm sure they pay a lot more than that.
  11. I use it and think its a really nice rope. Stays supple for quite a bit longer than others Ive used.

    Ha. Ah well ignore me then, seems I'm completely wrong. Would be interested to know whats different though!

    I doubt it. But at half the price I wouldnt care if there was.
  14. That one has also been on here before but it still scares me:scared1: Makes my palms sweat!

    The magnum also has slightly more power which would help. Dunno how much more though.
  16. If you cant get a replacement part you can buy a different type of unit altogether around the £300 mark. It fits any auto feed system I think plus you can adjust the rpm of the rollers kicking in/out and it has an hour clock. OH and tells you the rpm of your engine so can help if you think it aint running to full capacity etc. If your interested I'll have a look about at who sells them.
  17. I looked at a job the other day which was an 18 foot ish old beech monolith that had fell over. Extremely lucky it hadn't gone another 15 degrees or so towards the road. The sharp bend it was on means someone woulda had a bad day in there car! I hadn't seen it before it was on the deck but looks as though it was a straight ish stem. Hollowed out and basically sponge at the base. Don't put off the inevitable if there are targets, fell and replant.
  18. Its a great vid but isn't this something like the third/fourth thread of this video this week? Anyway he's cheating by using gloves:001_tongue:

    oops

    Looks like someone lost their rag there! World is full of idiots, idiot tree cutter and idiot drivers IF like it says they were told not to park thier cars there.
  20. Happy Birthday. Looking at your pics I would never believe you are only 35. Have a good un.

    A good result in the end though:thumbup: Was it badly scored then?
  22. Yep your right there, typing on an iPad does have some draw backs:laugh1: Tbh, I was looking at getting a 7.5 toner years ago and do think they are a great idea in this game (although i was going to use it as a second vehicle) it's just I would have to get a bigger yard etc so decided against it. Anyway I think I could tow 750kg although it looked like on my license it could be 11000kg MAM never really got to the bottom of it!
  23. I think they have also changed the design on them slightly from the very first ones. I think it was so you can fit the cap when it is full to the brim with oil. I think the main prob people have is that they don't press down and just turn it, only takes a little bit of crap to go between cap and saw body to stop it fitting right.
  24. Have worked out what you can tow just to increase the payload with a trailer etc.
  25. Looks like some rope I have, can't remember what it is but Jonsie ID'd it for me on here.
