  1. Living like this long term is what makes me stressed out of me box. Some of that stress manifests on this forum sorry.
  2. Donald Mclean is to FISA what Nigel Farage is to the EU. Absolutely sees right through the corruption and ain't afraid of nobody. Fair play. A winching contractor down here was kept waiting 30 months for £32k... No kidding.
  3. Here's another thing - loading flats. In Scotland they were charging £6/tonne to load flats with the forwarder. Down here, no such luck, you're just expected to do it; they've got you by the short and curlies, knowing you'll tow the line because you want the wood away.
  4. That theory has been banging around for a while now and it's wearing thin. Interestingly there is about to be an audit of the forest machines now working in the Uk. Back in 2001 it was 300 odd harvesters... I can't speak for Scotland, but in England, where's the planting??!!
  5. What a STUPID stupid stupid reply!!! Apart from fecking the thread up, why don't you engage your brain, read my suggestions and use a little improvisation. Moron. COPY - ROTATE - ZOOM. FFS.
  6. Hoping you can zoom in and read the attached photograph. (or copy and paste, enlarge, rotate as neccessary etc) I for one am happy to get "militant" about it. Sums up my life perfectly.
  7. Weren't there some GB beauties to fit the 2510/11 from Rob D ?
  8. See my post / pics in this thread: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/43929-long-felling-lever-suggestions-2.html
  9. This.
  10. Those pacman gobs make me cringe. Edit: those videos are a disgrace. Is this thread a wind-up?!
  11. https://www.deere.se/sv_SE/industry/forestry/our_offer/custmag/articles/2015/old_machine.page
  12. Roger. Brash raking is a godforsaken job for sure.
  13. Do I need a qualification to operate my high pressure hose?!
  14. Windrow it with the forwarder or are they replanting asap?
  15. Why's that confusing?
  16. That's the one I'm referring too. My old Bosses. Richard Court knows it well.
  17. Agreed. 820 still very good too, I know of one for sale... Most 810's are in Ireland. I've driven an 820 recently and it doesn't out-produce my Bruunett. The 810 is marginally bigger. 840 good machine too, nice size.
  18. We had an expensive Stihl and it was rubbish. The cheapo karcher was miles batter. No model nos sorry.
  19. What does the owners manual say?!
  20. If you carried out ROA on the oil in the crank a less pressure holding oil would show a short term increase in wear metals, lead in particular.
  21. There are 3 grades of Stihl 2 stroke oil.
