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 😉

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

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.

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?
-
Tbh it could do with spacers or rims with greater offset as the track is a little narrow for the arches

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.

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.
-
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
-
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!

Brian James have this as an option on some of their trailers, might get some inspiration there?

Tie a distal or a VT variation instead

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

Just ask for a refund then karen youre coming across as a proper eejit here, just calm down and have a word with yourself did you inform skyland of your demands prior to ordering?
-
Come on Karen, they don’t hand deliver stuff, don’t be so naive. They, or any other supplier can’t guarantee what a separate delivery company will or will not do.
-
Sounds a fair enough warning tbh. You want them to guarantee something, they politely inform you they cannot fulfill that request……what’s the problem? I’d guess that if you were a lass, your mum would’ve named you Karen
-
Yes, Wait! and make sure you get the thin bar too
-
As above, some motors (motorcross bikes for example) have oil soaked air filters. a little oil in the machine could be due to the mower being tested before shipped, I’d guess a quick drain wouldn’t drain all the oil

Did you use a heat gun to “strip the chairs” ……. of old paint(?)

My bad rich, forgot about the UK freelancer thing
-
Freelancer. I see it as 2 companies, size is irrelevant. If one co damages another co’s kit, its down to the damager’s co to pay. Downside of being a freelancer who’s earning more coin but a benefit of being an employee taking home less if the damage is sizeable the freelancer should have insurance in place
