Latest bit of video from me, hope you enjoy. Taken me a while to get back into doing some editing so making a bit of effort to go backwards through the tons of footage I've taken and done nothing with for probably about a year.
-
Was more envious of the chipper before but now the landy has taken that place. Wouldn't want to be trying to keep up with the hizo by hand, get some more pictures up soon of them all.
-
That's 1 good looking chipper and landy👍

How much does your 300tdi lr cost per year to keep on road
Gray git replied to mendiplogs's topic in Arb-Trucks
Yeh, mine took far to many hrs to find a rubbed wire that was earthing against the block and stopping starter solenoid kicking in, sometimes fixing folts only costs a rap of insulation tape but a lot of time to find and get too which could have been costly if at a garage at £37+ vat hr. -

☝what he said 👆 I'd rather not know -
Tachyon has been a fantastic rope for me, lower stretch than the bt when on big lengths and really runs well in my zigzag.
-
I like older vehicles as I can mostly fix them myself being landys they do brake but easy enough to bodge again but I've kept the arb gear as new as I can for the warranty and backup.
-
Looks interesting if something UK orientated existed.

The line on the rb has had some serious abuse and lived up to it fine, a little fluffy now but never snapped despite dragging some ridiculous loades. Worth looking up some you tube video's on how to splice it back together incase you ever do snap it as it's really easy to do. Here is mine doing what it does quite a while back now but still good but going to replace soon as I recon I could get nearly 200ft on the drum no problem and quite often could do with it!

Call rufftracks in Glasgow they will give you all the information you need, very competitive on price and good service, all 3 of my winches run line off him 2x warrior 1200 s and the big boughton on the rb44.
-
Told you that you'd like that chipper, chuck and duck :-D
-
Wouldn't want to be staggering back from.the pub and suddenly spot that in someone's garden that's for sure, fantastic piece of carving!
-
Is yours more attractively priced than the ram wedge clarks sell as that could be a big part of finding a UK reseller, hope you do get sorted as it looks a good product.
-
Flat back wagon with big crane on, lift the bits off onto itself and away, get some pictures up and 1 of the carvers may have it and pay the haulage. I also use a local heavy haulage company who has a monster crane on a wagon to lift stuff into grain trailers for us, expensive but efficient.

Hurts like hel when you stub your toes on it as well!;-)
-
Did a single piece of timber coffee table all with the mill's and got an order for a slightly smaller 1 done the same from a bit of oak I have. Next year we will be over the other side as I had a word with the organisers and was promised a bit of a reduction in price next year.
-
Might be a re application but won't necessarily mean it'll be passed without some ball crunching constraints!
-
Sorry for scaring him but he wasn't the only 1, scared plenty of Shetland ponies in the morning resulting in 1 poor girl getting dragged across the ring, wasn't particularly happy with where we were put as had purposly told them we would be demoing noisy stuff so they stick me next to the in hand showing ring, only did half the stuff I had planned for the lads to do. Apart from the rain we had a good day and had a few good follow up calls particularly for the cherrypicker.
-
Ha ha so not only did they get a fine but lost the planning to build the homes which would be a real financial hit! No mention of the contractor/person responsible for the actual cutting of the tree as surely they should also be held accountable?
-
Simple really the winch is manually fitter onto the 3 point linkage and pto on the mounting plate with the hydraulic motor inside then as and when eddy needs it on the excavator he can just pick it up like any other implement he has and the wizardry of his system connects the hydraulics to run the motor so run the winches pto.
-
Footwells are a favourite to go, had to do mine as if I'd ever got a nervous passenger pushing the brakes for me they'd have been doing a Fred flintstone impression, also check the mounting brackets for the rear tub itself as I've seen 1 stacked up with hay bales go round a corner and snap clean of the rest of the truck, nearly flipped the landy and blocked the road for nearly an hr while we helped the very shaken old farmer sort it out, bolts had rusted to nowt from years of sheep pissing in the back.
-
That's simple twice as much as anyone wants to pay and half as much as you'd like to get for them.
-
High milage and questionable condition at that prise jase, spend a bit more and cost less in the long term, decent 110 hi caps are becoming hard to come across and have increased in value in the last year or so. Unfortunately most were farm vehicles and the disinfectant dip during foot and mouth killed the chassis on these vehicles so you could end up re placing a lot of mettle if you get unlucky.
-
I'm sure they could have the power to have altered or even suspended the planning consent on the site which would have really hurt!! Replanting as you say would have been a good start for sure!
-
Hardly a deterrent if a 38k fine means you can get 2 more 200k houses on the site. I know that particular tree officer and I'm sure he'd have been pushing for more!
