  1. So are Ed (armchair arborist) and Kev Stevenson and others Search results in United Kingdom , West Yorkshire | Arbtalk Firewood Directory
  2. Any reason you went with the dyneema? It isn't that good if you shock load it.
  3. Nowt to do with bagged or not, chucking stuff over is fly tipping even if is as good as unactionable
  4. Its likely that the shuttle valve is stuck although this normally happens when the PUH isn't used for a while, hence the loader question. Looking from the back of the tractor follow the RH pick up arm back to the housing. There is a rectangular tin cover on the top of the casting that houses the pick up arm. The shuttle valve is under that, it will be a PITA to get at with the cab on but you can get a thin screwdriver in there and flick it loose. DONT DO IT WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. The arms can come up and squish you under the cab which is most undesirable.
  5. Is it fitted with a loader?
  6. Lucky escape for you then
  7. Putting the cable on requires the winch to be running so lets skip to solenoids Assuming the battery is fully charged the solenoids are probably goosed but just in case its stuck with lack of use here is a bodge fix. Operate the switch and identify which solenoid is clicking, the press again and give the offending part a whack, when I say a whack I mean a gentle tap with something non conductive, it may free off it may not, if not replace. Once you have it running the cable can be put on. Wear stout leather gloves when handling cables. On the drum will be a hole to thread the end of the cable, there will probably be some way of securing the cable inside the drum. Single the cable out in a snag free manner and press the button to spool in, keep some tension on the cable and allow it to feed on without overlapping itself Job done
  8. Your thoughts Felix The law holds that the tree owner isn't responsible for the leaves when they fall off so if they land on your property they are yours to dispose of. Chucking them from whence they came would amount to fly tipping?? Not that that has a lot of teeth.
  9. LMAO Small change that.:laugh1:
  10. If he is back in tomorrow you don't need to report it Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 - RIDDOR - HSE
  11. I had one on loan for a couple of weeks when the tractor was in the shop, I found it a good balance of power and size for the work I was doing.
  12. Wont take you long to save for that on three grand a day, when is it getting delivered?
  13. That's just pants, no payload worth speaking of and a turning circle the size of a super tanker
  14. I dunno about that. A lot of trees have been steadily becoming candidates for falling over in the last decade or so and as far as the insurers go subsidence is the main worry in that camp. I agree that some places trees are better managed but its the minority and some of the stuff that snapped in the last blow was completely unpredictable, if we managed our tree population with an event like this in mind we would be in shrub city.
  15. From 6 posts in, we are of one mind:thumbup1:
  16. If its gasing off under load that's probably the fluid evaporating. Charging causes explosive gasses, if the gas builds up and finds a spark you get a bang.
  17. I think there was a word missing from your question, should have read what is enough experience. Experience is when you have been working in a trade for a period of time. Enough experience is when you have been working in a trade long enough to know you have enough experience.
  18. Hydrogen made by charging found a spark.......KERBOOM. Had the misfortune to be stood next to a pair of batteries on an artic that went off, not something I would be keen to repeat.
  19. 5 years is about right to call yourself experienced but if you work in the same place with the same people day in and out you will max out the experience quotient pretty quickly. Seek out people from whom you can learn. Pin your ears back, listen watch and learn.
  20. I know a guy who had the most loyal and territorial guard dog you could imagine. If it didn't know you, you weren't getting in. They fed it poisoned meat and it died a miserable death. These people don't care about the dog, its just in the way and pretty easy to deal with. Don't put your animal in their way, it will end badly.
  21. Those are the baby ones, speak to Buxtons, they have these Which I highly recommend
  22. I am not saying you are wrong, just wondered if you had any facts. When my chipper went missing it only got 40 miles.
  23. Handlebar grip tape, Halfords or similar
  24. Is this one of those pub facts or do you have anything to back that up?
