    Decking oil that has a fungerside in it might be good and probably cheaper

    Has anyone made a liner to lift into a ribcage forwarding trailer so you can load timber that's too short to sit within the bolsters. It's all too easy when dismantling to get bits that are just too short and run out of long bits to make a cradle for them.

    I like the kesk and as long as you wash the liner and tighten the little screws that hold the defs on regularly it's a really comfortable helmet, the petzls I've had never felt like they fitted me properly. The CT looks good and 1 of my lads likes his. Get to a decent arb shop or better the arb show and try a few for fit.

    Probably from the centre of the slew gear which on some trailers is full of gear oil to lubricate the slide. Post a picture up if you can nd might have a better idea.

    It's a beauty! I was purposely cutting stuff badly to see if it'd take it and it did! He keeps trying to egg me on to getting a 90xp....... one-day 😉

    Will you be putting them on the twin axle knot chassis like the new 990, was working with 1 this week nd was very impressed with performance and build quality.

    Bet it was, just 1 more load before going home..... Typical!

    Bit of spraying today, new doors and quadtech back to go on 130, black edges on box to do and front doors to build and spray then the fun realy starts stripping the rest of the vehicle to rebuild again. Eventually!

    Well done August Got a few of gerrys books and always found them inspirational and extremely informative so now it's nice to know a bit more about the man behind them Top job 👍

    It's not an excuse it's a well justified thought out reason to need 1 that just happened by accident. Realy nice looking rig you have now, you should be proud.

    Like it, keeps it away from over eager young groundies with chainsaws as well. Knowing the way my luck is going with good ideas at the moment I'd drop a chog of wood it'd bounce of a branch land straight on the bag and rip the straps off and tare a hole in it landing the whole lot in an unseen freshly laid dog egg.😭

    Lovely work 👍

    Id heard if your doing a lot of road miles on a mog with v treads on its worth putting the front on backwards to reduce wear, someone might correct me but sure that's what caprice said.

    If only you'd said last week when I'd ordered the 3/8 conversion for the 560xp I'd hav got a mixed bunch for the lads to destruction test on this windblow job we keep scratching at.

    No she stops well enough but had to drag it forward by the bottom arms as was right next to that traffic island so would have been a even bigger obstruction. I blame the harsh speed bumps, and a really crap factory weld that's hardly penetrated so was just kinda sat on top holding the a frame in place. Wasn't all bad as just got home to find 2 job enquiries have come off the back of being there.

    I had 1 of them as well thismorning Unfortunately while going down a busy road outside a school so lots of spectators watch me struggling to get it off the back and onto the pallet tines to get to the job.

    Somebody had way too much spare time that day, she's definitely a good operator and the machine is a really good setup, wounder how it fairs in very wet conditions...
  19. Gray git
    That's nasty, even hippocracapoos and swamp donkeys need loving some times. This me and my lads are going again and planning on stopping the night for a few jars and a giggle.

    50k clucking bell that's going to take some paying back but if it can do the job of a skid steer and a mini digger on somewhere like a big estate I guess it's a good investment.

    Hydradig definitely looks an impressive concept in this video, shame it's tow limit is only 3.5ton els it'd be really useful. This little thing caught my eye as something else that is an interesting multi trick machine that if you had 1 and the sort of work that'd suit would be a fantastic little earner.

    Just ordered a set of headband ear defs with the the senna base bits all fitted for situation like that and for when I'm in tractor so can still talk to the lads without having to have a helmet on.

    Big tree that sam, enjoyed the video and soundtrack 👍 Guess the crane was a time saver rather than a necessity as conventional rigging and dragging would have taken days?

    Didn't like some of the heavy branches on the pine tops but the Spruce and larch just got demolished!

    On a badly storm damaged site we have been on N off for a few months today to help out cutting of stumps and dropping the odd oversized tree now that the client has eventually listed and got some serious hydraulic power it to deal with the softwood windblow
