  1. Or work.
  2. Thanks guys. I stopped being Ltd when it became a bane financially, and also because I realised as a Director I wasn’t half as insulated as I thought I’d be, regarding house etc. The rules may have changed a bit, we’re talking 15 years ago. My bar-talk thoughts would be ST is absolutely fine unless you want to go bigger and run a bigger show with multiple crews etc., then Ltd. is probably the way forward. @Clutchy will have a far better grasp than me, I’m just a bitter and twisted old bastard who hates anything to do with tax.
  3. Great to see what it’s bringing in Marcus. Hopefully the hens will have a brood.
  4. Can you explain the last paragraph in more detail Billy?
  5. That’s a very valid point mate. I would be very surprised if their snouts weren’t in the trough though.
  6. My bad, politicians wouldn’t lie, would they? Rishi Sunak stays tight-lipped over Infosys - The New European WWW.THENEWEUROPEAN.CO.UK The latest scandals and gossip from Westminster and Fleet Street
  7. Why not just take them out and plant something decent?
  8. Tight spot there mate!
  9. The Labour Party will never be taken seriously when she is part of it.
  10. It’s like Mick said. Nothing on there is particularly impressive on it’s own, but when you’ve handballed thousands of tonnes of it in the past you really appreciate the benefits.
  11. Aaron?
  12. You have no idea Mick. I’m waiting for Klou to make the ‘wipe my arse and lace my boots’ attachment.
  13. That’s why I bought a loader Mick. 11 years too late…. I sub to my mates Treevolution, but at £300. They know what a mini loader can, and more importantly, can’t, do. They do me favours as well though. Anyone who knows the value they can bring could swallow £400.
  14. That would explain it then Steve. He probably sold them to some Americans for £2m and has been on the lash in Vegas ever since….
  15. I remember that machine well John, kind of set you on the road towards mechanical power. A takedown where you used the Boxer coupled with a GRCS to rig some big stems comes to mind. I knew you were onto a winner, so quickly followed you 11 years later.
  16. Perfectly put Dan. The drum chippers (with the GM CS100 being the gold standard) are just a much better design.
  17. Worky Quad saved the day here towing a 230 over a rough paddock to the base of a big conny, where the chip was staying. Saved a gruelling 75m dragathon.
  18. Moose! Where have you been hiding! Have a blast Stubs, ignore any advice from Eggs.
  19. See all that snow melting? Emissions from that saw, that’s why.
  20. I went for a log grab because I think it’s better suited to what I do, and the ball hitch on mine was a big factor, but the bucket grab is more versatile. I’d love to have both.
  21. Over to you @doobin and @AHPP!
  22. I wouldn’t zip chunky cord if I could help it, that’s normally rigged conventionally then pulled with a tag line if needs be.
  23. I made up my zip kit with 10 of these from Skyland, and 10 webbing slings. About a oner all in. You should use steel crabs not ali.
