  1. Loving your work Max, you certainly know how to get a tree on the deck! That picture of you on the kids springy bike is brilliant!
  2. I shovel all my stuff by hand so I will look out for stones!
  3. Firstly Matty that bike mad a s a box of badgers, you need to get a video of it running! Geof very nice, Armchair that's a cracking looking bike and last but not least Chris, that bike is beautiful, it took me back to my childhood instantly!! I remember going round the bike shops with my dad while my mum was shopping! That's minted! Well done:thumbup1:
  4. Salt is no problem wet, on mine it's the sandy red grit that just goes solid on mine, I've found putting less in the bin is better than filling it right up, it's practice and learning as you go, I kept blowing fuses with the spinner so I keep the rumbler going all the time, if I've had to drive a few minutes to where I'm gritting then I dig the middle out with my shovel before spreading. Nice kit guys!
  5. Definitely, if it's not dry it just goes solid with the vibration!
  6. The pedal control is just the diverter, I control the grab with a switch on the right joystick, when I tap the pedal it changes from open/shut to rotate left/right. Really simple
  7. I've got a plough for the front aswell.
  8. Now that's a machine!! I've never seen 1 before:thumbup1:
  9. Picture of operating height please before I start to criticise:laugh1: Looks good, is it compulsory to wear a pink Pringles tank top when splitting and if a bit skites off do you have to shout FOUR!!
  10. Radio isn't working this morning, do we still have masts? I awoke at 4am and all was calm after struggling to get to sleep at 1am for the noise. Having a coffee then off to work to see if allmismwell. Stay safe guys
  11. That's what I've always done:thumbup1: Exept once took a load of tyres and then missed them when I felled the trunk
  12. Bend your knees young man and get side on to the tree and face forwa when your snedding:biggrin: Good pics:thumbup1:
  13. Was it under the nail on your pointy finger or side of the thumb?
  14. Not sure of bucket and rake weights. The rake is heavy I know that, I can spin it about on the deck easily but it's a hernia job trying to lift it if I ever try. The grab is 130kg, got it on today and the pipes didn't match the connectors, gutted!! Tomorrow morning I'll be grabbing and stacking. The rakes brilliant !
  15. It's monsoon now here!!! Winds gusting aswell.
  16. It's going on a 3.5t Ifor Williams . That model comes in at 2.7t, trailer 800 kg so all good. Buckets and accesories will go on Mog .
