  1. Looks better, but that lightweight steals the show!
  2. Are you SE in Norway or on the books?
  3. 50s young 😆😂😆😂
  4. I screwed in a load of self tapping bolts on mine, much better.
  5. Not sure you’d class them as a British car though 😂
  6. Norton, triumph, Land Rover, Range Rover, Aston Martin etc not necessarily British owned, or all models but plenty are still built in Britain
  7. I’ve only experienced slippage on heavily frozen pine, doubt it’s a problem you’d ever get in the uk though! (Eder titan wedge)
  8. Imo you need to think of it as PPE, most PPE is clothing you pay an extortionate price for, hopefully never gets tested but if it does, you’re thankful for the cost if you’re a boss you should be minimizing the risks you expose your employees to, save future law suits and the like
  9. Jokes on you joe, that’s big tree dom on a busman’s holiday
  10. Half the year tracking wolves, lynx, bears and wolverines. The other half general conservation across 140 odd reserves of which about 40 I’m responsible for the practical aspects. I’ve kept the logbullet though 😉
  11. It did! Got bored with Arb so changed career 🙂
  12. I recently sold my 3yr old 50hp Jensen 540 to a gm 160 owner who is thrilled with the extra performance. but now it looks like Jensen are sticking pathetically small engines in. Dunno if they’d do a custom engined machine again? The safe if a little mundane bet would be timberwolf, but if I was in the market again I’d be demoing the GM205 first
  13. Here in Sweden, those that know, especially in the middle of the country (according to the map), are cautious to use the wood-ash in farming or food production because after Chernobyl “dirty” clouds travelled over here, and rained.
  14. that arse definitely ain’t virgin! you need to wait, it might even leaf again next year, but once the roots energy reserves are depleted it’ll die properly do you know what kind of tree it is?
  15. Tbh it could do with spacers or rims with greater offset as the track is a little narrow for the arches
  16. first pic, with the canopy on the truck is standard size, 18” Dotz alloy rims with nokian hakkapeliitta studded winter tyres. second pic in the snow is the standard Toyota 18” rims with bfg all terrain ko2, standard size Alucab, really good canopies, had a Bushtech on my previous hilux but the Alucab is better.
  17. imo it was a daft call of theirs to send the lorry there, knowing the loading wasn’t fixed, especially as they were informed they’d need it and it was their responsibility to fix the loading. day before notice is enough time to tell a driver not to go, not worth the risk. hopefully for the haulage co there’s some kind of contract in the offer with late change of plans/penalty charges stipulated. If not I can’t see how they are in the right. fwiw, the hauliers I use (grab wagons) have a charge of 150 if they can’t get to the job (un plowed roads drive, clients car blocking the drive etc) this is in a contract that’s signed before being able to use them/have an account.
  18. Seems a bit daft that you’d told them, before it was too late, that they’d need to fix loading of the machine yet they send the lorry out anyway without appropriate loading facilities or an agreement with you on cost. Their problem imo
  19. i reckon you’re one of those classic cases of putting of a loader for so long, but once you’ve got one wouldn’t work without it!
  20. Just threaten to kick his head in, worked for me!
  21. Brian James have this as an option on some of their trailers, might get some inspiration there?
  22. Tie a distal or a VT variation instead
  23. I built this earlier this year, concrete plinths with a metal bracket, plinths are 900mm, their hole was about a 8-900mm deep, 200mm crushed stone packed in the bottom, plinth then stone packed in around them, no ground contact for the wood
