Hello, I read that webpage saying it is 37hp yes? Is this 'enough' for a 7.5" machine do you think? Or am I getting hung up on horse power here? Still looking for larger turntable replacement for our Quadchip or IF business continues to grow, maybe to run alongside... Hope springs eternal... Ty

£3655 in the end, WOW! how those bids racked up in the final 30 seconds. Ty

Today, a starter of mozzzzerela and tomatoes, main, large chicken and duck gizzard salad followed by a mooooose au chocolate washed down with a carafe of lemonade.. All for €11. Well balanced, well fueled, no stodge weighing me down making me sleepy either. Ty

1 hour lunch actually and your home early each day due to lack of work more like... Ty

Mooooose au chocolate any-one? Ty

Our company spent over 7k on feeding it's employees last financial year. I find a decent 3/4 course restaurant lunch (wine optional) motivational, bonding and when the weather is against us gives an essential break. We eat a healthy balanced and substantial meal most working days in the warm and dry. I pity those who huddle 3 to a transit cab on wet Winters days... Ty

This was a non-runner until my mate John repaired it. John is an engineer who specialises in production line machinery so running this mill has proved a 'mere bagatelle'. The wood is a chestnut I felled 4 years ago but the oak we crosscut proved to be a bit soft. Ty

I added my climbing tickets to my portfolio at the grand old age of 38 and have never had a problem finding work due to lack of experience or competance. After all not every builder starts out constructing 4 lane highways or highrise hotels. Last year my company in it's 3rd year put 200k through the books and created work enough for 3 full time (including me) and 2 part-time employees plus several subbies. You don't need to be the best climber in the world to make your way, that is clear. Alot of our work just requires reasonable 'competance' for small-medium tree pruning or removal, hedge cutting, hedge removal in fact stuff where climbing is not at it's leading technical edge. We have never yet turned down a job due to lack of experience or competance. I always know where to find it if we lack it. Experience comes with the work you find for yourself and with those you choose to work with/employ. Best of luck with your travels Ty

Our Quadchip will overheat and cut out during the summer when chipping conifer hedge material 'IF' you don't stop and remove the fluff that builds up on the radiator screens outer and inner. Also, blow out regularly and pressure wash BOTH the radiators from time to time as matter slowly accumulates in the rads. This is reason 19b in my list of why you should never rent/loan your kit out to ANYBODY! Ty

Has he gone out on strike yet? No? Still, early days! Ty

We had a 2 hour 4 course lunch today. My French apprentice even washed his hands using soap and water but it was a Saturday afterall... Ty

Very common in the Picos de Europa mountain region North Spain. I saw it with gorse as the host. Ty

My Father and I both knew Don from cycling 'Audax' events in and around Sussex. The culprit has destroyed a family and in doing so has destroyed his own. I hope he wakes up every night in his tiny cell with this on his mind. Ty

Think we need either a tracked or hover tipper but I'll look into installing a winch. Ty

When abroad, I do take calls from time to time if I am the point of contact for the client. This causes problems as I use my Moroccan mobile (low cost international calling) When the number is shown many people don't respond or even cut me off. One has even just shouted abuse down the phone thinking that I am a phoney Microsoft engineer from Mumbai. Ty

Mine is 10 years old and although I've changed the drive shaft the gearbox is fine but there again I don't use it to pull over trees or tug the Iveco off a wet leaf. Ty

An extreme sport that knowing Parisians habit of letting lap dogs use the 'trottoirs' as 'crottoirs' Ty

The fleet in their stable. Ty

[quote=QuattroKev;1329739 I want to be desirable as a subby man and chipper combo. Any thoughts? Try the latest Lumbersexual look and a decent brand of aftershave. That should make you more desirable all round. Ty:biggrin:

We use Aspen chain oil and have no issues aside from price. The previous 'bio' chain oil was recycled, much darker and gummed up the top handle saws pumps. It also was most certainly not halal and stunk heavily of fried food. Aspens tag line should be... " He uses Aspen because he's worth it" Ty

I once priced a job from images in an internet cafe in Zagora whilst travelling in the Sahara. Now I leave that to my business partner and an employee who is a retired Arboricultural Consultant keeping his hand in. Now I can enjoy my time away at last... Ty

OY! Let's have some order in the ranks you O'ribble little men or I'll have you marching pointlessly up and down the square! [ame] [/ame] Ty

We ate in a restaurant at midday in the village of Lanrivan. Alongside the church is an ossuary, otherwise known as a charnel house. Bodies are dug up to make room for new burials and the bones sorted and stacked in this stone outbuilding. Fairly common in Central Brittany if a little gruesome and Gothic. Ty

Does your wife know about this Dave...? Ty:001_tt2:

Here is an article on Taxoplasma gondii France has one of the highest infection rates worldwide at 84% of the population. So bad is the problem that pregnant women here are vaccinated against it. Given the French 'laissez-faire' attitude to dog/cat excrement and hand washing in general I am not surprised at all by this. During a lean period I once worked for a contractor strimming verges around St Malo. For 3 rainy days in June I vaporised scat with a Stihl 4mix. I had to strip at lunch to drive home in my underwear and again when I returned home in the evening to my flat above a well known gay bar in Cancale much to the amusement of the regulars outside... Ty
