  1. Got several tons of top soil for my front garden of 1 customer, a nice metal frame work bench for the new yard the other week. And a crate of Guinness last week for just a little hedge cutting job :thumbup: sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  2. Natural Bodybuilder Meets Climber (eng sub): Worth a watch for a few reasons Used to do a lot of rock climbing and my hand grip was far better than it is now and I could do far more reps on a pull up bar but now I can lift far more and hold a top handled saw at full reach for a lot longer, body changes to what you ask it to do. Tempted to give this all a go just too see if I can. As said you got to feed them muscles even if you don't want to get bigger you still got to give them what they need to repare. A mix of high and low value protine from nuts pulses rice etc as well as meat. Will post something if I get my arse in gear and do it. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  3. Here you go Paul. 1st pick, the reason why I didn't want to rig the whitebeam off itself-slightly compromised! 2nd all logged up and a happy customer 3rd, a heck of a lot of sawdust. I hate having to log stuff up on site for people as creates so much clean up! Twas hot finishing this off today! sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  4. Did you have that over my way hodge? Looks very fermilier with that chipper on or could have been who it went too, think it said kingfisher on it when I looked at it. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  5. 088 jon, dred to think how much sawdust we produced today as used 5ltr of fuel just in the 088. Bag worked brilliant for catching the sawdust. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  6. 5-1 pulling system with cleat lock so will hold the tension once you have it. Very neat system but not cheep. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  7. Less than 50 quid for all the sheeting including headboard and really quiet strong. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  8. Mesh is a pain as everything gets court up in it when your trying to empty it, fixt this up on my tipper mostly for extra chip capacity on big jobs or delivering chip back out to customers but have found it excellent for hedgecutting as can just dump everything in and it stays put. I'll 2nd the scaffolding net as it's cheep and your not bothered if it rips and is handy to put on the ground if your trimming over a gravel drive to catch everything and save on tidy up. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  9. Thought you'd like this little time saving idea I came up with today sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  10. All the best safety gear on my sites. Used high lifts for years dexta but found I was constantly replacing the wood bit and more so recently as the quality has gon down so much, made myself 1 but just like the plastic as light easy to see on the ground and hammer in easy. Mostly just a backup as 5-1 did most of the pulling and if it's really bad iv got a 20ton stubby bottle jack which lifts any tree you ask it too. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  11. 5.2 t jon, yes robs wedges best iv had for years as ain't smashed 1 yet. That photo looks like paul has captured one of them there pesky little tree nymphs ;-) sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  12. Got some excellent gopro from today Paul, now just too find the time to put it together. :-/ sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  13. Think Paul answered your question for me, the beasty is going good, couldn't do half the jobs I do without it now. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  14. 7610 or 6610? Love that almost silent whoosh before the big crash! sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  15. Could be the alternator is not producing the right amps till its warmed up to run the stress control speed sensitive wizardry Just call gm and speak to the service lads, they know there stuff and sorted the stress control problems on my quadchip over the phone no hassle. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  16. Glad that's all cleared up now, well done jon Did you by chance get lost on way out and have to detour past the main stage for a bit of musical entertainment? sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  17. Ah men in sheds ingenuity rules again :thumbup: sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  18. Not many crane drivers like that so you got lucky. Must be nice too have the ££ on a job to get crane in, was it just a time thing or was the tree unsuitable to be rigged down? sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  19. I had problems at a comp and spoke to dmm about it as 1 was only a few days old, same as said just tree crud getting in the workings, nature of the job I'm afraid. Don't tell the wife but I bunged a few wedged open in the dish washer and that cleaned the things out excellent then when dry a bit of graphite. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  20. Can anyone tell me the paint code for G4 orange? Called landrover and can't/won't tell me without going to there dedicated spray shop with the parts to spray. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  21. That's the 1, award yourself a gold sticky star tommy sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  22. Nice video Paul, some good clips in there, just have a look at 3.28 and spot the potentially dangerous mistake. Any you a council arb or just get that sort of contract, looks some nice places to work. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  23. Used to hate that when I freelanced for a bit.. "Yes we have everything you need, just use our gear to save you charging us for yours" and you turn up and they have nowt so it just makes your life harder. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk
  24. Petzl Pantin Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk
  25. Nice video,hate poplars also and working over ponds more so. Looks like you could have done with a pulley for some of them larger bits as that bend ratio over a beener mustn't have been doing the line any good. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk
