  1. No bait box is completely standard unmodified but the contents can be a bit strange at times, including hot food flask of soop or porridge. Just trying to make things easy and efficient, swinging an ax at the end of a day sharp looses it's emusmen.
  2. Nearly always have the throwpod on my harness for just that!
  3. A while back plumbed her into this old technorton splitter to see what sort of flow the pump put out and it was faster than the little valtra but need to bypass the blow out valve somehow as it cut in on real knotty stuff that the valtra would split easy but on strate grained stuff was fine.
  4. Getting more and more customers asking for some of the logs splitting and leaving on site so been thinking of getting a small splitter and making a mounting bracket to mount it on the winch bumper of the rb and run it off the winch hydraulic circuit to save borrowing a tractor and splitter or taking a 2nd/3rd vehicle with the awkwardly heavy thor splitter on it. Anyone got any recommendations or ideas? Not expecting it too be a high production machine but of decent quality and fit safety stuff as staff will be using it.
  5. At least you have a decent chipper mog combo and ain't fighting it into a timberwolf 125 ;-)
  6. Tell me about it! Just doing anything extra that I can't do on my own at weekend is a struggle at the moment.
  7. Even worth getting everything out the yard to somewhere with some background, been thinking howand where to do the same thing with my gear for a Web page header.
  8. Na felix you respond with not a problem I'll get on with that as soon as I'm done with the rest and ow do you want it itemising separate on the invoice or just adding on to the rest
  9. Is that a firm handshake emphasising that you'll crush there knuckles if they don't pay ;-) Hope you get sorted ty as this sort of thing really annoys me, had similar and offered them similar that I'd return all the crap from the job + interest (basically as much as I could fit in trailer) so they could dispose of it themselves. They payed....
  10. You calling me a retard! Half a second a log twisting and reaction on controls and a finger that resembled a squished tomato! That said it was the most productive splitter iv ever used!
  11. Hear boy, fetch ;-) You know how much of a coffee addict I am but sometimes it is nice to take the time and sit an saver the flavour and watch the world pass by, did it today myself but in basket of cherrypicker while sparky was re wiring the crimbo lights socket in town, 25min of nice brew and people watching, lovely.
  12. Decorating the town Christmas tree and 1 of the parks for the last two days, my charitable act for this month. Amazing how popular you become when you own a cherrypicker!
  13. That 900 is lovely, that'd fit into my fleet just perfectly, big anough to be useful but small anough to get in places
  14. Evil fruit yuck! Thankyou Chris, orange is the 1!
  15. That's the dream machine, just not in banana yellow ;-)
  16. Can anyone tell me what the current work at hight regs are or point me in the right direction to find it concerning using a telescopic loader as a work platform. As I believe it there is a max hight you can work at before basket mounted controls are required is this correct? Of course this is presuming a proper mounted man basket is used not a pallet or bucket which I know is a no no.
  17. Used to drive a 1650 that alax built after importing from Germany and it was an excellent machine, used to run a 10"farmi which was a good match as kept the wate down on the back end. Also spent many happy hrs snow plowing with it which was a good earner for both me and the company who owned it.
  18. He's got a fair movember handlebar going on at the mo!
  19. Theory is to mimic the natural dieback and stagheading of the tree just without the deadwood so as the trunk and roots loos structure to support such a large crown it's being reduced inwards and an internal crown starts to form so still providing energy and not shocking the tree to much as work continues. Think that made sense?:what:
  20. Fantastic looking tree and nice finished shape, always harder on retrenchment work as you have to try not to disturb any internal branches as you need them to eventually become the outer as you reduce ever inwards.
  21. Magazine, I new I forgot something while I was spending a small fortune there today, darn and blast! Always dangerous actually being in the shop as shiny things start taunting you from the shelves!
  22. Are they doing the big light show thingy again this year as fancy taking the kids as they loved the lit up enchanted forest last week.
  23. Plush bugger! No wonder you have your climbing kit in your room, you need it to scale all those stairs, bad plan for when you start drinking again, heck I struggle with the 1 front door step ;-)
  24. What you need is a pair of grandpa braces but be careful you don't loos to much as you'll end up looking like clown pants ;-) Bit extreme having to move out to avoid home baking temptation :-P Hope you get settled soon. Sorry I missed your call, rare I don't have my phone on me but climbing over water I thought better of it, experia might be advertised as waterproof but didn't fancy finding out by dropping it 30ft into a river.
