  1. Nice tractor, unusual to see a crane on a new Holland. Love my battery husky stuff and that hedge cutter is next on the list.
  2. Will be representing our branch of round table tomorrow and laying a wreath in remembrance.
  3. Crack the nut marked red in picture and normally there is a lift pump lever where the blue arrow is, work this till it draws fuel through the filter then shut the nut and crack the injector furthest from the inlet and crank it over in short bursts so as not to overheat the starter till you get fuel through then she should fire up
  4. Trust were over a grand more for our little grafter van last month than nfu for identical policy's That's any driver over 25 as all our vehicles are, once I have a year on that they say that I can add all 5 vehicles together into a combined fleet policy which should be worth looking at.
  5. Pads look good, got the alloy geckos and they have kept me being able to bare wearing spikes for last 9 years so be interesting to see how they compare for comfort and support
  6. Back to grind the ugly stump today Lads having fun feeding some very prickly stuff into chipper, forgot to photo the tree.
  7. Or in this case full of someone else's shite. [emoji12]
  8. Hard to find Worth waiting for But sometimes you wounder why you bothered..... [emoji6]
  9. Not been to Wetherby for a long time so not guilty but it sounds about right for a landy
  10. Don't think I've ever had a random picture pop up and I'm on the app almost exclusively
  11. Never thought about it actually eating into the holiday entitlement.
  12. Just seeing what other employers think about this. Had a member of staff take quite a few holidays this year which is fair enough as he wants to spend time with family but this has used up his entitlement leaving non for the Christmas break so realistically will have to have unpaid time off as I really don't want to be sorting work for him over the holidays as he won't really want to be in just splitting logs, to add to this he's just told me he needs 3 days off at the end of this month but understand it'll be unpaid but Carnt understand why I'm pissed off with him. It's going to leave me even shorter staffed than I already am and he's not in earning and getting through the workload. Really just seeing how others handled this sort of thing, is it you have x amount of days and that's it or do you allow unpaid leave on top of this or what?
  13. Looks familiar and hill in background looks like pen y gently but Carnt quite place the building.
  14. Not a massive tree but a very ugly stump to get rid of. Any carvers fancy it?...?
  15. Is that in north Yorkshire?
  16. We have a you female apprentice and she is doing fine but it's still a minority within the industry so well done for you if you can team up and make it work as I think a lot of customers respond well to having a female presence on the crew and a good friend who is a ceramic Tyler is desperately trying to find a female member of staff for just that reason.
  17. Carbon edition looks nice, stealthy...
  18. Better drop the price of my machine as it's done 400hrs but has totally been rebuild like new nd had it up at 15k.
  19. Wouldn't bother with a st6 size machine, step up a bit to a 8" machine and you won't regret it as production really jumps up., if you need sub 750 then the 230 or quadchip are probably the best that I've used.
  20. Must have a lady on the go that's taking up all his time [emoji106]
  21. Something very strange going on here??
  22. Yes but found it a bit sticky and not a smooth rope to use although it was my favourite for the hitch climber, going up was fine as it's a nice rope to handle with plenty of grip but would never self tend but coming down always found it a bit jurky and hard to get smooth rope flow through the zigzag.
  23. Lovely pictures, they look very strong horse's and perfect for the work, especially like the last picture.
  24. Napalm! It was the sort of steepness that if your toes got in front of the line of your nuts you slipped on your arse!
  25. Shhh don't give them idea's! [emoji12]🤔
