  1. Welcome, I'm thinking on getting a Mill so would be interested in the replies!
  2. Brilliant! The lady with the camera sticking her hand round by the belt was making me twitchy though:001_huh:
  3. My T 5 lwb was longer.
  4. Just for you Pete
  5. Fantastic! Do they float?
  6. I see a branch on the asbestos roof of that shed! -1 point:biggrin: Sam, +2 points for correct answer:thumbup:
  7. Eliminate the problem before it gets to face to face dealings. A big sign on the front door, saying all saws serial numbers will be ran through the police stolen system, any saws that are stolen will be handed into the police. That will re assure good folk that you are sound and it will tell the baddies to go elsewhere.
  8. Wise move Mr D!
  9. Now you have supplied logs in an expensive way for no reason . I blame the coal merchant:sneaky2:
  10. And your trousers are down why:confused1: Good effort:thumbup1:
  11. Is that a wing suit? I take it you are not doing a tandem charity jump? Tell us more:thumbup1:
  12. I use a Luton van with a tail lift and wheely bins for chip, logs and sawdust. I can fit all my kit up top above the cab, pole saw and ladders on the sides, chipper and 8 wheely bins in the back if need be. 12 if the chipper isn't in. Or I blast into dumpy bags, I can get 3 full ones in, chipper and logs on top aswell. Also I have a tracked wheel barrow for heavy logs and I can drive it on, lift it up, drive it in and unload. I also can put the chipper in the barrow with the wheels off and this gives me a tracked chipper. And it involves lifting nothing heavy:thumbup:
  13. Cracking story Arthur, I bet that Night influenced your life massively!
  14. That's brilliant:thumbup1:
  15. Cheers that was excellent! It still doesn't answer my ladder up round a big over hang, how does he get up past onto the ledge to tie the ladder on? I'll keep looking tonight
  16. A truly awesome guy! I missed a talk with him at the local vintage tractor club when I was 20, the old farmer that my boss had a yard at said ' didn't think you'd know who he was ' I was gutted. Mi watched the ladder video last night, wow what a job! And as for laddering up around a ledge, how he would do that I don't know, I look for a video tonight on that !
  17. The animals went in 2 by 2 hiraar!
  18. Still heavy rain here!
  19. The price is ticking the box and looks like a simple solution to your problem but looks very light. It would be quite good for landscaping soil.
  20. FR jones ones have served me well
  21. Cheers guys, I think I'll get a pair.
  22. How are the soles on them ? I don't want a rigid sole.
  23. Customer had this in his back today! It was huge ! Any ideas?
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
