  1. I have used this cut a few times when I’ve been too drunk to remember which way to hold the saw.
  2. Thanks Reuben. I’ll have a word with my fabrication guy next week and see what we can concoct.
  3. I wouldn’t use pallet forks, I’d have a bracket made up welded to it that fits the WQ headstock. I probably wouldn’t go for that exact one, I’d go smaller and chunkier, because as you say it looks a bit flimsy. That one weighs 65kg.
  4. I actually thought this was a bit of a piss take but you’ve got me seriously thinking now. Crenex Forklift Access Platform 86*86cm Safety Cage 340kg Basket on OnBuy WWW.ONBUY.COM Description This work platform is designed for use with any standard forklift or pallet loader. With...
  5. How did you get on with this Reuben? We tried an economy version today with a piece of thin ply layed across the grab. Works a treat. I’ll probably make a safety rail with some blue polyprop then we are good to go!
  6. Different sector though Eggs. People can’t choose whether they want Dyno in or not that year can they?
  7. You need to supply a lot more info before getting a sensible response. If the trees are 400 years old and your house is 2 years old it’s a totally different situation to your house being 400 years old and the trees 20 years old. Pictures always help.
  8. Yes, although you’ll earn more working for Sky.
  9. He’s a genius Reuben. A parody of a Dee-Jay. You’ll get it when you’re older mate.
  10. I could share a cab with you Dan, we wouldn’t need to change channels much.
  11. Same as Mick, he’s been a big part of my life since my teens.
  12. Anything arb mate. I sold my bollard to Monkeybusiness on here through it. It won’t reach as many people as Thiefbay, obviously, but the target market will more likely be genuine arbs.
  13. Try Arbtrader on here mate.
  14. SAW that!!!! 😂😂😂 You just get funnier and funnier with age Mick.
  15. Loads. It’s in the country.
  16. I’d be more frustrated if I’d had to handball it all!
  17. No, Joe is spot on. The customer wanted to keep all the wood and move it himself, so we bust it into handball sized lumps. He changed his mind when he realised how much there was, so called me back in. I did try and tell him….
  18. Drew Bristow would have some good ideas about this I’m sure, but he doesn’t get on here any more. You could try contacting him on FB?
  19. Sounds like a great idea. Get some pics up and I’ll LOLER it for you.
  20. I use a KM94 combi head with a hedge cutting attachment. The last few outings the vibrations have been savage. The AV is never the best on these things, but it’s noticeably worse than last season. I can’t see anything physical wrong, and the head is greased, with sharp blades. Any ideas?
  21. Only in France, EU regs etc…..
  22. Is anyone climbing in one yet? I’ll need a new harness this year, and this does look very good.
  23. I think they’re both good saws these days tbh, just personal preference.
  24. Loading and unloading is a doddle as well…. IMG_6667.MOV
  25. Update on this. I had a very kind offer from a member on here for a similar trailer that would have been perfect. I was saving up to do that deal but a mate offered me this Indespension Challenger for £1k which was simply too good to miss. It meant a bit of a rejig in the workshop, but everything fits now. Twin wheeler tows really nicely with or without the loader on, and has scrubbed up nicely with a few new bits. Thanks for your input as always gentlemen.
