Coming back from today's call out and spotted this car on strange plates with some sort of cover on it and nets over all the glass, any ideas? Crap picture I know but just grabbed phone as thought very strange!
-
Call out today, tree had failed and snapped some lv lines so by the time I arrived the power line lads had cleared some but were a bit scared to release it from behind the pole so up to me, just winched it back with the rb then cut it up. A old boy turned up with his saw to help but good as it was I told him I'd manage with mine but I'd cut him a few logs and leave them for him;-)
-
Ahhhh will have to get some more sorted for you!
-
Ow yes jon, I like anything pie based. Looking forward to the apf and hoping to have the time for a few days there this year so can actually look at stuff and have a chat with people and not feel like I'm missing stuff. And of course a few beers and a bit of a lol wit the lads.

Ah the gruffalo, favourite book in our house! Nice bit of redwood too ;-)

You must give her too much pocket money!

Once the crane is swung over the cab and onto a grab bar it shifts s lot of weight forward so reduces the bounce loads and reduces the rear overhang/tailswing.

Sorry mark, I'll try harder on the next 1, almost used some zeppelin but didn't sit right then some gass light anthem but saving that for another idea I have so went for some of the wife's, layed back belaric beets. Just think yourself lucky there's any tunes because adding them seemed to be the hardest thing to master for some reason :what:
-
That'll be the iron horse your on about jon, lightweight compact tracked skidded, Fing expensive but excellent tool if you can find a good 2nd hand 1.

The 1 I used was a farmi and a botex 360tl that simply had a set of link arm ends welded into the crane A frame to hook up the chipper, longer pto and a very short top link also onto a bracket just below the slew point. The crane was welded by wilsons so didn't affect the warranty and the chipper was unmodified apart from a longer pto shaft.

Thanks all. Reg, yes they work if you put something like stock board or ply down 1st but it more for the customer s benefit to make it look like we care about his lawn. Pete, the 2 points were a bit experimental to give a new lad a go at technical rigging somewhere where if he got it wrong not a lot mattered too much as he had never held a lowering line before so 1 experienced and 1 novice groundy did me proud. Stephen, go on hit me with it, what I get shouted at for :what: I can take it

Only worried about engine mods that affect performance not bolt on extras as they described them yesterday when I called in to see the lovely girls in our local office to c about a new policy.
-
Try NFU,they do mine when No1 ells can touch them or aviva if it isn't a modified vehicle.
-
No id plates, re sprayed, no decals of make modal, you sure it's legitimate and not still belong to some poor sod ells? Always a worry these days with 2nd hand stuff.
-
Thanks for sharing Pete, that'll give me something to chortle about for the rest of the morning

From last week on holiday.

That happens in my house as well, often find myself saying things that were ment to stay in my head!

Better on fuel than running the landy 130, slightly lower mpg but carries more than twice the load, still recon on getting an average of 20+ mpg as long as not flogging it hard so can't complain
-
Pah, that's landrover G4 orange, not far off wendywolf orange I'll admit, might have to trade in the quadchip for a chipper with a colour to mach! Do bandits come in orange?
-
Do you mean the drill? It will struggle with a 5" auger in most ground also it will have a good go at busting your wrist if it jams. Excellent tool for drilling timber and i use mine loades in my timber craft work as it's the only thing I have that can turn the 2"verritas tendon cutter. I also have a stihl 1man post hole borer and it's got far more tork and is a lot easier to keep hold of!
-
Should stand out a bit that's for sure! Now for my go at doing the wheels and derv tank in matt black.

Just got her back from the spray shop, well happy!:thumbup:

By the look of that water it'd cool you down then condem you too the toilet for about a week :eek: Twas very hot today swinging my little grinder in anger against some conifer stumps.
