  1. Was definitely a few who suited the costume more than normal clothing ;-) Just short of braking the record at the end of the day but if everyone who had come during the day dressed up had stayed the record would have been smashed, shame.
  2. I'd be having words with the lads about a bit of equipment respect, I know stuff sometimes happens but can often be avoided with a little thought. The 360 has tidied up well!
  3. Well today being Halloween we headed off to Alnwick gardens to take part in a most people dressed as witches in 1 place world record attempt, needed over 1600, not sure on the final number but was surreal walking about with so many people dressed up. The Mrs was in her elements and kids had a blast. Anybody else get up to anything.
  4. No worries, as long as you cover the overdraft fee's I'll pm them over to you 😜
  5. That's what I thought, think they will be getting a phone call on Monday asking what they are thinking
  6. What's the position on a company holding all my card details on file? Today's scenario, called to pay a bill and gave the details for my business credit card to pay the £600 bill, 10 min later I get a call back to say the payment failed as she'd written the details down wrong but not to worry she'd used my other card details to take the payment....... Didnt dawn on me at the time but it's nearly a year since the last time I had to pay them anything and gave the normal card details but they still had everything on file Inc security number on back. Is this legal??
  7. Got 4 of these on top of other landy and 2 on front a bar on rb https://www.ledlightsforsale.co.uk/all-products/Work%20Driving%20Lighting/Individual%20Lights/18-watt-cree-square-led-light.html
  8. Put these on front of cherrypicker and they are like turning the sun back on at night! Expensive but fantastic! https://www.ledlightsforsale.co.uk/all-products/Work%20Driving%20Lighting/Individual%20Lights/90-watt-oem-quality-square-drivingwork-light.html?page=2
  9. As long as they have cree led's in them they shouldn't be bad Jon, just really depends what you want to spend. Utv products have a good range all good quality and at a competitive price.
  10. I've started been quite blunt with domestic customers now when they say at the end of the job, send me an invoice and I'll post you a cheque, my response.... I'll save you the bother, write me 1 now and I'll send you a invoice and confirmation of payment when I get time, it'll save you finding a stamp. Commercial jobs now get a reminder 2 days before it's overdue to what was agreed before starting work and any job that involves a group of people like parish councils are offered a 10% reduction if payed within 5 days which normally works. In most cases I'd add ed 10% onto the quote just to be able to take it off again 😜
  11. Your absolute correct, won't matter what machine you have, how well it's built, what it cost what the dealer back up is..... If you don't service it properly and when it's due it won't last as long as it should and that go's for everything! They have maintenance scheduled for a reason and the cost of a filter compared to a 20k+ machine is nowt.
  12. Replaced it at 21hrs like the book said, hydraulic filters aren't expensive but worth changing to keep the system clear of contamination from the manufacturing of the machine.
  13. Was on thorn as well today, 1 1/2 rb loads of the stuff but hardly touched any of it as fed it all with digger and grab, thought the quadchip ate thorn well till I got the st8.
  14. Not sure exactly what it will lift but dragged pushed and wrestled that 12ft oak but onto the trailer fine, loaded some decent size pieces with it so far. I've had the bracket made so it'll also fit a friends 8ton bobcat so if we're on a bigger job he can fetch that out and gain the benefits of more lift and longer reach, potentially got a big felling job coming up which it will be ideal for so looking forward to sharing that.
  15. Really like your 2nd pictures Edward, the morning light at this time of year is brilliant for that type of image
  16. Left the lads to there own devices as well today to get this oak down while I finished a job of elsewhere then fetched digger out to load the timber once they had it down. Pleased with how they did on whatll be the biggest job iv just left them to it.
  17. Definitely been on here before but for those that haven't seen it enjoy. 3rd clip is my favorite.
  18. I was under the impression that it was the tipping gear and sub frame that needed to be type approved, adding high sides is affectivly part of the load or a way to hold the load in place while travelling so no different you strapping a box to the bed full of parts.
  19. Was grab feeding big long willows into mine last week and it's the only time I've ever thought that kind of hopper would be useful, normal hand feeding the fold down type is so much better imo
  20. A collection found in the local arboretum on a fung day and a nice example of merip on a beech I went to look at as it had a dead branch in it?!? Note my shades for scale.
  21. First call out for a while, this was apparently just a branch down that needed cutting in half and clearing? Wish I'd left the digger on the trailer before going!
  22. Well iv eventually got the grab on and piped up. Had fun lifting some overhanging willows out this pond so the lads could dredge out 50od years of filth.
