  1. First picture is 1 for the mantle piece!! That's a seriously big lump of wood! Serious skills there:) Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  2. My mechanical problems have gone away since a I've found a new ag mechanic, he works all hours , mobile and knows his stuff, and what he doesn't know he finds out. I'm away from keeping things shiny to keeping them working. Getting a rubber ear from someone who has sold you stuff is frustrating for sure:thumbdown:
  3. Enjoyed that. 2 min 51 sec was carlsburg material:thumbup1: Loved the digger job aswell.
  4. Sorry to hear that Tom, I've had my fair share of breakdowns over the years and they were all private purchases. It's frustrating for sure when the sales team and customer complaints department are polar opposites. What was the faults? Good to see you back on the forum aswell:thumbup1:
  5. If it was I doubt someone would admit on an open forum:001_rolleyes: As machines get older, they are botched up and replacement parts are sourced. My old tractor didn't have 2 panels that matched:laugh1: My Mogs pretty much the same:blushing:
  6. It's not strange, you swore, so I deleted it, simples.
  7. I bought a tractor from wilsons, they did everything they said they would, and a lot better than I was expecting, and not from them but just in general and they threw in a nearly new top link. They have always responded to my calls and that was a £15k tractor, not a big £££.
  8. It's an Arb digger alright Wainy, nice 1:thumbup1:
  9. Come on Al, let's keep on track please Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  10. What a great gesture! That's over £500 worth. Best of luck in Nepal:001_cool:
  11. The guys lines aren't that good, he's messed up his stripes around the little tree in the middle, double dark and half light! Tut tut tut:sneaky2:
  12. That would take me 20 mins with a long reach hedge cutter and step ladders, half a dumpy bag of clippings that would take 5 mins to pick up, 1 min to blow around .£30 if there was other stuff to do, if it's a single visit then £50
  13. That wood is stunning J!! I have a piece of burr elm in the yard, I've had it there about 4 years, I think I'll get it milled up. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  14. I wouldn't of minded not getting Tartan paint, but having to cover 5 miles via a walk down the Main Street, a ferry, a bus ride and a 500m walk carrying a 100 weight of cement was a tad inconvenient!
  15. I have a big Sitka spruce in my head when thinking about this, usually I free climb as straight as I can up them, best I take a couple of detours from now on. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  16. Exactly! They ironed out the problems and made mogs! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  17. It has the bark you can peel off. Nice trees.
  18. If you had a Mog you wouldn't need to take 2 vehicles everywhere!
  19. Wow, that's a different league from my puffing and panting!! fantastic skills in a tree!
  20. It will be a mushroom field next spring Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk
