  1. That frond has been needing a drain for years, the last one collapsed, hence the rubble and new big pipe, I angled the grab and dragged it back and it filled up with soil like a trenching bucket! Really easy digging! It's amazing what these machines can do.
  2. Knocked a wall down, spread some rubble, dug a trench, put in a pipe! All with the grab! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  3. Thanks guys! Tc yours is still going strong, i was working with it a few months back on a Sitka job, the manoeuvrability of it was brilliant, she never dropped a beat and was chipping 6 hours a day!
  4. GADOOSH!!!!!!!!!! Problemo solved Busy Daddy!!
  5. Shadow from the table the bowls on, and your getting a 3d view of every little bit of sawdust compared to the bowl that's 1 big reflective bit. Well that's what I reckon. Nice bowl
  6. Jeez that's put me right off my Ribena!!!!! Heal quick mate!
  7. Cut the logs level and it won't fall over!
  8. I have a RR Sport, had it 2 and a half years. I'd heard all the scare stories! I've spent £560 on it in that time, 3 tyres and brakes all round last month. I tow my 3 ton Cat and my 7.5m caravan with it. It's an amazing vehicle! I've also had it places my pimped up Hilux wouldn't go!
  9. Vertical, once it's on the plate, you just turn it, no picking back up or lifting.
  10. Anything with a hard screen steams up, so you have to breath really weird so not to get them steamed up, top lip over bottom lip and breath out through your mouth. But they end up steamy! There are visor goggles out there, i did a review on some, but they were something else to leave lying around and sore on my ears where the muffs put pressure on the legs. I just wear my lid and visor tbh.
  11. I'd rather follow a harvester about and pick them of the ground:biggrin:
  12. Silver firs are the worste imo, those big bubbles smell nice but really gum things up, had 1 burst in my eye once, I couldn't get down for about 30 mins until I could finally open my eye! What's the procedure for collecting cones? Get up and shake the tree?
  13. Mines never left the shelf since I bought it 6 months ago!
  14. Frost can really push the moisture out big time!
  15. Nice 1 Simon, makes life do much easier! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  16. Got the Cat onsite today saved a power of hand balling! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  17. Thought about it over the years, it was the thought of tripping over stuff in gardens that put me off! Hats off to those lads.
  18. Cracking pics! Ive recently moved from trials to enduro, nothing serious or racing, mainly gathering sheep to help a friend out, wet moorland and plenty of hills, ditches and streams. Finally getting my confidence up and enjoying having a seat! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  19. Cool! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

  21. I was emphasising the Junk part!
