  1. Customer had this in his back today! It was huge ! Any ideas?
  2. I think in NZ the climbers are the ones finding all the work, I'd be practising that in my spare time. Unless you are wanting to do something non physical.
  3. Never scrimp on a waterproof jacket for work! I wear a Swazi smock, goes down to just above my knees, I don't mind the bottom of my legs getting damp through the cutting trousers. My jacket is about 10 years old, lives under the seat of the Mog and is as good as the day I bought it, almost! It was £180 back then. I see no reason why I still won't have it in another 10 years.
  4. So they've attached a £20 pantin to a £200 set of spikes and want £553 for a set with no gaffs. And they aren't showing us a picture yet ? Was there another video I was meant to see:confused1:
  5. :confused1:re-Read my post, it was the old plastic screw ones the eejits broke:sneaky2: The flip caps are not perfect, they are just an improvement on the old version.
  6. A few times I've had to make a wooden cap due to groundies slicing the old plastic ones in half with the combi key, The dim range, they'd be sold out for twice the price
  7. Don't fill the oil right to the top.
  8. I've seen this 1 before, very simple and effective.
  9. I would of thought they would of had a suppressant of some kind:confused1:
  10. That's a tough 1 Rik! I think the best thing is keep away from google, it will fry your mind chasing an answer and do as the doctor says. Take care.
  11. As above, you'll not lift them but you could roll them out with a 3 tonner. If your a farmer, get a big chain and drag them out, then fix the mess with the 3 tonner
  12. Not sure, there will be a graph somewhere in the manual. You can jack the front up a fair bit with the blade, also lift 1 end on first and then shove it on. There is certainly a knack at getting the most out of the machine. The main lift is on the boom, so the closer you can get the better to what your lifting onto.
  13. Just with a top line aswell! I'd be in my backside with my legs wrapped round:blushing: Did you fell it after that, or keep clogging down that way?
  14. Have you replaced all your milk with the coconut Steve? I take it, it tastes coconutty? Is it good for you or a substitute ?
  15. I find eggs in smoothies makes them nice and frothy.
  16. Or a whisk:thumbup1: Ben do you just shake the egg:confused1:
  17. Just seen this on the news:thumbdown: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-25759830 Is anyone on here close? Hope they get it out asap.
  18. Pictures would be great, I remember David putting a video of it when he got it. A roof mount could be used on the OP's farm aswell:thumbup1:
  19. Nice chipper, Groundie needs bigger muscles to stick that through in a oner!!
  20. The jokers terrifyingly good:thumbup1:
  21. Press and see! I doubt you need the clutch but still be gentle with it. Nothing worse than hearing them getting banged up and down with a foot flat in the floor!
