  1. voltage regulator died on my old mk3 hilux returning from southern london to cambridge at night-truck ran fine as diesel but no lights made the m25 interesting, so pulled the red wire from the alternator off the regulator, stripped some insulation off and wrapped the bare end round the positive on the battery terminal bypassing the regulator completely, worked perfectly well nice bright lights!
  2. awesome sized trees reg! any variations in tree type or work?
  3. Interesting job and work Dadio General question, how many guys and what kit do you take to a standard size tree like that? Steve, i think using our tracked chipper to pull trees (serious trees and abuse amitidly) contributed to stretching and splitting the tracks on one link per track, resuting in new tracks . . .
  4. depens who you buy it off, justins, 200t no bar £357.50, 201t no bar £370.50
  5. i do a big fish little fish cardboard box move for a bigger saw

  9. 14month gaurentee sounds good, sure i can abuse them quicker than that and never buy a pair of boots again ordered a pair
  10. trying the new SIP Freedom 1, purley because they're half the price of stretch airs, 5 months in, and they're wearing BETTER than my last pair of stretch airs. i think they look smarter too
  11. As title, does anyone actually know how long will a new saw, from the dealers, last in a box with no use? would anything perish?
  12. Thanks for the great replys! having about 6 slings meant 6 or more branches can be sent down(2 or 3 closebranches can be half hitched by one sling) once all had been sent down, the groundie simply clipped the bunch to the end of my rope, whilst i was re-slinging, he was fixing the branches, simples! with no tag line we just 3-1'd the line and held on, no big weights, if there were more bigger branches like the top, would have put a lowering bollard to put controlable friction in the system. . it worked well though! around 1-1.2m i think, last time i ordered slings i ordered 2 of each length justin sells, they're so handy, and cheap just to add, the branches, where the camera was set at the beginning was on a low fence, the branches were being stacked just over the fence for collection later the day, so just moved a few meters. . . and the wood was just chogged down in 3m lenghts, and cut into 30-40cm rings and left at the base of the tree
  13. Yeah, old biners, old climbing pullys, rigging pullys, so there was about 6 setups ready to be used cheers drew, saved an estimated 1km of dragging +1km return journey, and more enjoyable than clearing a mess!
  14. With no big jobs recently, thought this might be interesting, 2 pine trees speedlined JoshJGP's Channel - YouTube my channel JoshJGP's Channel - YouTube
  15. i use on a weekly basis hiabs from 15meter reach to 23, i think a member here used a 35m a few weeks ago. rent a hiab waggon, and they can deliver it straight to your yard. or chog it down
  16. slowly taking an intrest, some shrooms i thought were pretty, yellow ones tasty, from an island ive been working on
  17. I enjoyed it why step below the plunged backcut? i would have thought that would cause the top's step to catch the stem's step tipping the tip of the top foward, where as stepping the top above the plunged backcut nothing would have snagged, maybe making the whole top land flat and avoided damaging the lawn . . . although the damage you made, which some others would worry about looks to me to be about 2minutes with a fork
