  1. 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.
  2. Wont take you long to save for that on three grand a day, when is it getting delivered?
  3. That's just pants, no payload worth speaking of and a turning circle the size of a super tanker
  4. 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.
  5. From 6 posts in, we are of one mind:thumbup1:
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Those are the baby ones, speak to Buxtons, they have these Which I highly recommend
  12. I am not saying you are wrong, just wondered if you had any facts. When my chipper went missing it only got 40 miles.
  13. Handlebar grip tape, Halfords or similar
  14. Is this one of those pub facts or do you have anything to back that up?
  15. It would be a good place to hide but the do as you likeys have eyes everywhere, know no rules and are highly territorial. It would need a big pair to chance it with an outfit that can burn you out and be on the road before the fire brigade are.
  16. Was it designed to go an a quick hitch?
  17. Now there is a paradox, a gang of thieves using a gang of thieves as cover.
  18. That hasn't overheated or boiled dry, it has exploded, charging batteries makes hydrogen, if it cant get away and you add a source of ignition you get an almighty boom.

    Spat mi elvensies out:laugh1:
  20. Well said that man:thumbup:
  21. Oh its not just where you are, I had a customer come out and photograph the stem we were disking up for him, by the time we were cleaning up he had listed it on the bay and had someone coming round with a trailer
  22. You Southern boys have no idea how bad it can get, "its grim up North" and Huddersfield is where its grimest :laugh1:
  23. I rarely use hedge trimmers but recently I had cause to and was amazed how many times I went for the clearly non existent chain brake so my answer is most of the time.
  24. Vintage SOLO TWIN 611 (100cc) 1965 chainsaw w/ VIDEO | eBay
  25. What do you do when you get the timber out? If its on the Ifor the Ifor hooks on the back of the motor and off to the tip off, anything else sounds like double handling
