  1. Just seen this mate. Probably not ideal, but thought I'd put it up for you.
  2. I think the new site should automatically put up a [emoji481]emoji when it's obvious someone has had a few when they post.
  3. Wish I could help mate. Might be worth asking around at horsey places/stables as they're often long on space and short on cash.
  4. Nod for sure mate. Make sure you tell him you want the full fat, diet free version.

    Moderators - Someone has just 'came across a young lad'. Can we move this to a more appropriate forum please? This isn't why I joined Arbtalk.
  6. I don't notice any difference in power but the 94 seems more pro build quality. Time will tell though. I wouldn't knock the 56 at all.
  7. Trees get fatter further down fucktard. The whoopie and block move down with each lump until it's time for the 90' stem stunt fell.
  8. Blocks are the pulleys Steve, you newbie! Whoopies every time, much quicker.
  9. Overloaded Transit. Nothing is the most popular for no reason.
  10. Do you mean The Caravan Club or the caravan club? [emoji57]
  11. Really impressed with that outreach Philip. As important as height in tree work IMO.
  12. Sounds like things have really moved on Philip. I'm pretty sure a new 34m Bronto was more than that back in the '90's! Still a frightening amount, but I don't expect new cranes are cheap either, and we know how much they can bring to the party on the right job. Same as MEWPS in my opinion.
  13. Rich Rule has a BB and some HTP mate, don't know if he's tried the combo.
  14. 27m on a 3.5t chassis sounds terrifying. I used truck mounts extensively back when I was working in telecomms. A 22m machine would be on a 7.5t chassis. Most commonly used 34m Brontos on a 17.5t chassis. Occasionally used 60m machines which had a 42t chassis. Looked like a Dinky toy at full stick. That was £1500/day to hire back in the late '90's.
  15. How come no-one has mentioned a spud box ratchet strapped to the pallet forks of a telehandler yet?
