  1. Even if it is the old design you can clamp rails to the bars and attach the cover to that, done it myself.
  2. Looks pretty small, i would say no more than £400 if your having to take it down.
  3. Not fair Real nice guns mate!
  4. When our 020 packed up at work we bought and tried the equivalent, makita, echo, i didnt get on with them at all. Also used the husqvarna top handle and didnt rate that. Im afraid the 020 takes some beating. I belive the issues with the carb have been sorted now, our 2008 020 at work has been running lovely ever since we bought it.
  5. Dont they get all the sweet jobs!? Was it them who had that huuuuge crane to take some trees down on a cliff?
  6. Beat me to it Dean!
  7. Wa'heyyy! At last
  8. Is that an atlas trailer steve? How you finding it?
  9. Landrovers already been sold mate, im getting a van as i also do motocross so it will help me out with getting my bike to tracks. I only do logs on the side, I work 2 days a week and go to college for 3 days. Busy busy busy! lol
  10. My dad had them kicking around for ages, and when i decided to sell logs they were perfect. Ours are old onion boxes, some had new zealend stickers on them so were well travelled! I started logs at the age of 16, i cut my own trees down, split and seasoned them then sold them in these crates. Then forklifted them into the back of my dads van and he would drive me around to customers for me to unload them, id give him £10 for every one i sold. He has a renault master van with custom body, you can fit 3 of these crates full of logs in the back, so i used to to fill it up and then deliver 3 deliveries at a time. One year on when i turned 17 i was able to buy, modify and insure my landrover. Logs sold like hot cakes! Im now 19, looking for my own van to carry on doing this. There you go guys, my life story
  11. I sell my logs in those exact same boxes! i have been charging £70 for mixed ash and oak, but prices will be going up next year. There great if you have a forklift to move them around.
  12. Cool! Wanna give that a go when i get chance. Whats the story behind the last pic?
  13. Nothing wrong with one handed sharpening IMO, i do it.
  14. Proper job, thats what the forums all about :thumbup:
  15. Just use the standard wooden stihl one, im not fussy. Lost the handle at work once so cut the end of a broom off and used that. Handles a handle..
  16. Unless she makes up 20% of your yearly income mate id be tempted to walk away. Sometimes it just isnt worth all the hassel and stress, the time spent arguing with her over money you could be out getting other jobs. Just my bit of input..
  17. Glad im not the only one who likes/appreciates good engenering, no matter how big or small the item
  18. Just man up and wear your arbtalk t-shirt
  19. Missed it, gonna watch it on channel 4+1 now though!
  20. Cool What sort of weight can it lift?
  21. As cts said, i have heard good things about SHB 4x4 hire. But as im a landrover man, i would always recommend a landrover for any type of towing.
  22. Looks abit suspect if you ask me? What was it honey brothers had stolen back along...
  23. Nice! I quite fancy the forestry life, might look into it after college.
