  1. i stand corrected! that was awesome! 540 bhp!!! nice😄
  2. if you are wirking hard all day, dont expect the same lifts if you werent. concentrate on reps and adjust weight to suit!
  3. I've never got on with waterproof trousers, they hold in the heat, no manoeuvrability and having another waste band when in a harness is a pain. I wear bib n brace type waterproofs but never with cutting trousers, it's just brutal. I've been wearing a Swazi smock for 10 years now, it comes over my back side and down just above my knees and has a tie for the waist and a nice hood with a stiff brim. The only bit that gets wet is the bottom of my legs. Chainsaw trousers are pretty good in the rain, when it gets monsoon, nothing helps by that time it's just get the job done and have dry clothes in the truck. So my 2p, is make a longer jacket out of moleskin over goretex and have top pockets that an iPhone and wallet can fit in and forget the trousers. I bought the Swazi trousers, they are made from the same material, but are trousers and infuriate me, worn them twice in 10 years.

  16. The back every time, just as Bob says! I have a rear mount on the Mog . Some chip will fall under but you tip off and reverse out in a half moon and it's all good. I'll get some pics
  17. Reference the hedge cutter, I don't know, it's lying where I left it! I'll get it to Spud at some point .😄
  18. I've been using Aspen for months now, it's enhanced my working day unbelievably! Anyone who's been working machines for years who constantly feels unmotivated at work, it will be the fumes imo off 2 stroke!! I will get some 4 stroke for the big Scag as it's the only thing that makes me feel rubbish when working!
  19. All the best with the new Mog, it's an amazing piece of kit, best in Show from what I've heard about the APF!
  20. Or tighten it up properly:001_rolleyes:
  21. Jeez! I've used mine for about 2 hours, I really like it. I'd best keep an eye on it!
  22. If you cross a pathway from garden to a parked commercial vehicle on the road you must have a permit, the same as parking a skip. Is this enforced? no! I had a Road Dept guy with the hump against a guy he thought was me sit in the hopper of a 10" pto chipper with his shirt and tie on 1 day, while 2 lads were feeding it! He ranted at us, made me stop everything and read me the riot act! It was news to me so I went on the back foot and did what I was told! I blanketed our town solid for month daily until he got fed up with the paperwork! I asked if the window cleaners, gardeners, removal men etc all had permits, he said" I assume they do!"
  23. I'd love a tracked skidsteer ! That's a good looking machine:)
