Are they pointed josh? (older members might remember Monty Python's Self Defence class sketch)
-
it'll tow 6 tonne if it's braked peter. At westonbirt they tow their Schliesing 235mx behind it and it carries all their gear. The only probem i can see is i think it is a two seater.

yep. He then goes for a shower under Hardraw Force and fights little john at Aysgarth falls in yorkshire. Unless of course all three of these places are in Nottinghamshire:lol:

i've just been reading the latest edition of hort weekly and there is a review of utility vehicles which was done at westonbirt arboretum and one of the vehicles is a caron 862 which the arb team at westonbirt use. It sounds an absolutely ideal vehicle for david as it is road legal although it is LHD but it tows 1,000kg unbraked or 6,000kg braked, has rear pto (540 or 1,000 rpm, with a central pto on request), 24 speed gearbox (16f 8r), three-way tipping. It also does 40Km/H. the suppliers are bsg supplies.

do you mean lamberhurst engineering in surrey?
-
is that Woody, who was driving it at the yorkshire show baz?

i think bazbro is down there on the orange plant/ timberwolf stand
-
like tom says just get hold of the Special Vehicles extras list and go for it. and apparently there is a bit more legroom in the newer defenders for some obscure engineering reason but to get a bit more adjustment on the drivers seat try mud rails which are an after-market fit and can be done in an afternoon according to the manufacturers

for a winch look at the line speed, if you don't mind waiting around for a few hours get a ramsey hydraulic winch but for a fast line speed go for the warn 8274 which is what the winch comp lads use. i agree with peter if its a brand new one you're getting :drool:
-
yeah, he goes by BazBro, was talking to him yesterday about hiring a stumper.
-
if using the brogio head just make sure you're wearing leg protectors as it throws stones about like bullets. Ask Andy Collins about the lad he knows who was on the receiving end of a brogio projectile:scared1:

do they fit the original kask helmets justin? if so what do they retail at? got husky muffs on my freeby stihl/petzl vent helmet atm and it feels a lot nicer than my kask with the peltor muffs.

went to askham bryan after a levels for two years of an hnd in hort with a specialisation in arb, left there to go do an nc in arb at houghall college in durham then worked at a posh hotel in the grounds and as general dogsbody for the next two and half years before spending six months in essex in 2002 as a junior gardener on an estate, six months on the dole so i decided to set up my own business so been going six years now doing gardening and tree work. Always loved trees and the outdoors though due to all the men on my mums side of the family being gardeners or woodsmen of some description going back to the 1800's.

all you need is a brightly coloured jacket in say yellow or green or purple, create a few cheesy dance moves and you're all set to be one of the background blokes on the flight deck scenes from top gun. -
looks like a piece of installation art to me:alberteinstein:

got to be taxus baccata (yew) for me especially the really old ones like at aberglasney. if only trees could talk, the stories they could tell would be amazing i'm sure.

i nearly went to writtle college to study landscape design but fortunately got put off by the fact that i would have to wear cream chinos all the time even in the middle of winter. everyone at the course open day apart from me was wearing cream chinos:scared1::scared1:

the college will have all the gear you need to start with and you will soon learn whats good and what isn't.
