  1. a company called "KMR" did the work landrover tipper, seems pretty well made.
  2. cool thanks for the replies, i now know where to look first. carl
  3. i have just sold a ride on ( 36" deck 12 hp b+s engine manual gears) it had been standing for a couple of years but started and ran fine, till the guy ran it today and said it konked and that fuel was leaking from around the carb and it wouldnt start???? so i said i could take a look so just after a few pointers of things to check. thanks carl.
  4. leather walking shoes do me, heavy boots are a pain.
  5. looks nice.
  6. ye i tried a flat file once!, it wasnt having any of it just skidded around so gave up. should check the bar again and maybe buy a diamond dresser, dont seem to burr much though. carl
  7. laurel or bay laurel may suit.
  8. interesting thread the 261 at work has been crap, it cuts great but needs constant needle bearing replacements, so i think " reliability" is the key word for a professional saw. carl
  9. i have one of these and i was just looking at it its the swivel version and there seems to be a bit of play from side to side on the hex bolt part of the swivel ?? wondering if any one else has noticed this, its not so old. thanks carl
  10. oh cheers just what i wanted to hear!!!
  11. just got these trousers in type "C" , the fit seems ok but as i mince round the house trying to simulate my dynamic climbing moves by putting my leg up on window sills the trousers seem a bit tight at the top of the thighs, so my question to people who have these is do they loosen up with wear?? thanks carl:001_smile:
  12. have you got a manual for the machine?, could be worth sourcing if your unfamiliar with the machine. some anvils are reversible so you can turn it over and use the other edge. id get a second set of blades as you would probably want them whilst the old ones are being sharpened. redwood global have been helpful for the work jensen. carl
  13. ( bit skint mind:001_rolleyes:)
  14. if your not sure about the blades then there probably blunt! when back from a sharpening they are scaryingly sharp, that would be the first place to look id say. carl
  15. carlos

    Tiny echo!

    how do you find the two echos compare( 360 vs 2510) ? thanks carl
  16. great photos, thanks for sharing.
  17. thanks gray git appreciate it.
  18. any chance of a photo of the set up or link to the type of grab, my digger knowledge is limited so struggling to fully understand the replies to my post ! thanks
  19. thanks for the replies regarding a grab, we have a job felling a load of sitkas so thought a digger n grab would be handy for moving the timber sticks about. carl
  20. quick question is there a log grab that would fit a normal 3.5ton mini digger on hire with no modification required? thanks carl
  21. i find single rope a bit odd as i know it makes sense and is better in many ways but just seem to prefer the feel of drt, so mainly use that so then if i do use srt it feels even stranger!! using a lockjack and rope wrench so probably not the best, did try the bulldog bone and that seemed pretty good but cant justify more gear will follow this thread and try and get back into srt. carl
  22. great vid, love the blend of technical gear and rigging and a simple get the job done approach i think the system is good and iam sure one could source the hardware and splice onto a rope of your choice if you wished. carl
  23. i was assuming it had undergone tests and was deemed fit for purpose ie wouldnt come undone, maybe they are a bit more slack in the states, carl
  24. i think it would be a lot stronger and safer than a karribiner. i think it looks pretty good , the only downside i can see is that its permanently on there. carl
