  1. I banged a 260 running full chat into a retired (6 months?) pair of Hiflex with an oak log in the leg. Kevlar worked, but cut about an inch into the log first.
  2. I hope this gets more and more coverage. The problem, especially in construction, of people getting paid either late or not at all is ridiculous. The problems are normally created by unscrupulous greedy, rich bastards at the top and the shit flows downhill. Anything that can bring about change is a good thing.
  3. Well done mate, chuffed for you. Impressive recuperative powers for sure! Nice job as well, always enjoy the ones where you have to think a bit. Probably because I overprice them....
  4. That's a bit different mate, nice one.
  5. That tree will have shat itself long before Brexit is sorted out Edward.
  6. We always say ‘Just for the kettle. Thanks!’.
  7. Aye, throwing with the crab on is asking for bother.
  8. Me and Vesp are taking the Malvinas back Mick.
  9. We’re all on the same page here. The council, however, may be reading a different book!
  10. I switched Stu, and wouldn’t go back. 9 for 9 here, sized up the same.
  11. Worth a call tomorrow Pete, I’ve known them both for years. They are Rayco though, but it’s worth a punt for sure.
  12. Direct sale John. Doubt an FSI dealer would want to buy a Carlton.
  13. Unless your address is a caravan.
  14. Nah, you won’t actually get pulled. DVSA will just get a crime reference number and told ‘the matter is being investigated’.
  15. Can they tell how much you’ve had to drink?
  16. Can anyone recommend a stump grinder dealer in the south east? I know a few up north but I’m based in Kent. I have a 2013 Carlton 900 to sell that hasn’t had much use. I’d rather deal with a commercial company than put up with all the usual fuckwits you get selling privately. Thanks.
  17. There is no footpath. Paul, £500 wouldn't even cover the footings!
  18. That's disappointing for you Jack. Fair play for going back.
  19. Nice snappy little vid that Tom. Was it you in the gaffers vest?
  20. Bloody lucky you didn’t hit the wife and kid there. Should be in the stunt fell thread really.
  21. In light of the location of the tree Mick, I'd agree.
  22. Stihl, if you're right handed, just edges it for me. The grain in the Husqvarna handles suits lefties just a tad better.
