  1. There's a knack to moving these machines about, I struggled with my GM at first with ramps and stuff. I bought a tail lift Luton and got to the gym and in a few weeks I had it sorted.
  2. You have used 'I ' 5 times and don't like others getting attention. Mmmm!! Do you want us to agree with you or give you our opinion on your thread ?
  3. Belts can last for years, don't let them be run while slipping . I used to tell the lads that the screeching sound is not an alarm system for stuck wood in the rollers!!
  4. Stihl will fit that. The only reason I bought the kids was I wanted my Peltor headsets to fit. Which they did but I didn't like the hats interior. They felt wobbilly on my head and the padding kept flipping off, although they do look cool hats.
  5. Fingers crossed for you, here's to a quick recovery:)
  6. I'll watch that later, receptions poor here. Cats doing great Eddie, I just wish it was smaller for garden jobs and bigger for in the woods and up the hills:) I've got miles of these tracks to make if I want, so it will be good practice and I want to do some hill and marshy drainage aswell which will be interesting with thin tracks!
  7. Ooooo nice! I Made my first road the other day.
  8. What about horses and riders, that winds me up!
  9. This is on a scots pine, any ideas
  10. 38 with constant aches and pains, climbing isn't hard for me , ringing up and lifting stuff is, hence why I bought the digger and grab and own a hiab
  11. You are the climber, you decide what you use and how you want it done and how fast you wish to work. Your impatient sailor friend should not be in charge. I use slings and a steel twist lock
  12. Get to the gym and get as strong as you can, that will make life a lot easier. I know because I don't go to the gym anymore:laugh1:
  13. Reverse drive is brilliant and get the levers on the arm rests.
  14. Use 2 boards, work between the 2, walk them as you go, flip them and jump them back and have the back 1 on the joints. The stripes thing is for looks only and looks nice. I would ditch the old kitchen knife and get a good half moon edger and get it razor sharp. Good job!
  15. My Forestery crane had a huge reach and the pull in power with the dipper extension was awesome! Pulled some 100ft Douglas, 3 feet wide out a field 1 day. You can still lift big, the lifting ram on the main boom will hold the weight but not lift it, so you set it high and let the extension and dipper do all the work! Reach over lift for me if it came down to it unless you were selling the timber and if you were doing that seriously you would need a monster skidder and Hiab lorry.
  16. Nice 1, :thumbup1:remember it's not all yours. Stick 20% in a savings account:001_smile:
  17. A very good point, I've been paying £100 a month for 2 iPhones That were free, :001_rolleyes:this seemed cheap nearly 2 years ago, but things have changed, and I could now get away with a £10 a month pay as you go sim( or near enough) so awaiting my contract to end and I'll be making the change.
  18. You were trolling:sneaky2: Either post something positive and helpfull or don't post at all.
