  1. I'll bring out my willens t20 full body harness, 3 strand bungy rope and the horrendous Swedish strop I started with for you to try and you'll sharp see why we were keen to progress and get better gear.
  2. Shredded pallets? Could be a problem with binding together and bridging in the hopper above the auger as it won't flow very well, could be almost too dry for some systems.
  3. I cut things up smaller rather than busting my back lifting big stuff or get a machine to do it for me, when climbing I rig more to avoid cut and hold which normally means lass raking up small broken branches at the end of the day and I carry far less unnecessary stuff on my harness 'just in case ' if I need it I get it sent up as nd when it's needed.
  4. Hell Yeh!! but at 30k it's a bit steep :'(
  5. Now all the 1st set of pictures makes sense, good work.
  6. 😹😹👍👍👍💥😸🎅👏
  7. You lot are nasty But I like you...😜
  8. Used a botex 360tl on 3pl and it was the most cockley horrid crane to use until a chipper was bolted to it to hold it down, Seem to remember snapping part of the top link casting on the tractor from the twisting force it could exert if you weren't careful. Far better to have something properly mounted or on a trailer for any sort of heavy lifting.
  9. Far easier to have a 2-3 metre length of rope with 1 end tied round your lowering line with a Blakes hitch which makes it very adjustable, problem with slings is if there too short they can effectively 3 way load your crab on the lowering line as the angle can be steep but with a longer rope section there is no crab and the angle can be shallower.
  10. So glad thus site is moderated and generally good natured, yes we jest and occasionally prod for a reaction but what you just described is exactly why I stay off treebay, Facebook etc where it's almost a free free-for-all. I'm with you on your approach to what'd happen if it was my family he was talking about and threatening 💥
  11. Yeh new version Is far more refined and just over 500
  12. Definitely a 039 farm boss, horid saw, slow top heavy shaky build but quite gutsy for a semi pro saw that probably 15 years old.
  13. But your 1st will always have a place in your heart. Just got my 1st back ridiculously cheep to be a bit of a rebuild project. Get some pictures up when you can.
  14. Aerosols will cost you a fortune, never used the pump up thing. If you got a aldi near you call in and have a look as mine had some decent size compressors for sale at around 70 quid and a full spray kit box of stuff for about 20. You won't need a huge compressor tank as your not after a spray shop finish so won't matter if pressure drops a bit or you have to stop every so often to let it build back up. Also very useful for other things round the workshop like cleaning saws etc
  15. I've a landy nd if I did that I'd have nowt left to spray onto 😉 A good steam clean is best just to remove anything loose. Painting it is a pita as you will never be able to get everywhere and the bits you miss will also be the bits where salty Road crud will build up and eat a hole.
  16. Get yourself a disposable overall with a hood and cover every bit of your self you can as guaranteed you'll end up covered in it as well! Big decorators sheet on the floor under the truck and basically what Craig said. It's a messy job but worth it.

    New truck

    Might know of a nice 110 tipper coming up for sale with brand new body on it if you want the details and want to stick with the landy theme.
  18. Me two, thought it was ott for the job but when I did nearly a 800 plugs in a day no worries, filled up the tank and clipped a sig flask full of aspen onto my belt, bag full of plugs and off I went. Actually used the drill lots for all sort of thing even in the yard for drilling big joint peg holes in timber or on mettle when I can't be arsed to run extension leads out for just 1 hole.
  19. This might be better than Ian http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=281806447495&globalID=EBAY-GB&alt=web
  20. The Meikleour Beech Hedge(s)*(European Beech =*Fagus sylvatica), located nearMeikleour,*Perth and Kinross,*Scotland, alongside the*A93*Perth-Blairgowrie*Road, was planted in the autumn of 1745 by Jean Mercer and her husband, Robert Murray Nairne on the*Marquess of Lansdowne's Meikleour estate. It is said the hedge grows towards the heavens because the men who planted it were killed at the*Battle of Culloden. The*hedge*is noted in the*Guinness World Records*as the tallest and longest hedge on earth, reaching 30 metres (100 ft) in height and 530 metres (1/3 mile) in length. The hedge is trimmed once every ten years, and can be viewed by visitors all year round.
  21. On a turntable, you forgot the turntable! Only available in black or very very dark grey. Led lights like my forst and reversing lights.
  22. Must be a popular place to stand and take photos.
  23. Would like to see it with colours like 1st pick and guess this is what it looks like cut.
