    I only ever gave the tractor a slap on the roofmount, I would loose the crane in the dark and on the 8950 it was huge, 10m I think ! Then all of a sudden, wham skinny beech whacking the cab!!

    I took the guarding off mine, the visibility is night and day, my eyes would go wonky trying to focus past the mesh.

    All you can do is choose a different name for the procedure that takes height off them. Cutting the top of them is exactly that, topping!

    That's very sad, 50 is only 12 years away! I had my internals looked at 2 years ago when getting my heart checked after my dads heart stopped, I asked the ladies who were checking it with their gadget to check over everything else, and they did and said, I was all good! All my work is outside and the sawdust ir big compared to indoor machining I'd like to think anyway.

    I need to go to drs to find out a bit more. In the last 2 years I've become allergic to shellfish and my dogs. I put it down to stress at the time, but that's a self diagnosis. I've started using my sons inhaler here and there and I think it helps, this thread has given me the little push to go back to the drs, last time I went I got a nasal spray for a post natal drip which I'd forgotten about until my wife told me tonight after reading her this thread. I'm very sensitive to smells even with a blocked up half runny nose! I'm always around some sort of engine fumes and sawdust and in the last month bonfires so maybe its just my body trying to fight all that.

    I've had an Ldv Luton for over 3 years now, I had to spend a grand on the engine 2 years ago, apart from that its never faulted and mots cost about £150. It gets abused something terrible around the farm and back roads. I love it! My mate had a double cab and it served him well.

    My dad got his lungs checked a couple of years back and the results were more like a 30 year old heavy smoker not a 66 year old never a smoker! Machines, saws and a lifetime of cutting trees and grass! = big set of mucky lungs! Even as a kid I was always getting shouted at for hawching up and snorting! I have a damaged left bit of my nose up near my eye where i got glassed years ago, there's loads of scar tissue so that's side constantly blocked, on a very rare occasion, usually in bed it will clear and I can breath through it, honestly it's like my nostril is the size of a bin lid, it's amazing!! Then it clogs up for another few months:001_rolleyes:

    I've spent my life around wood, sawdust and engines and I have a constant battle with Flem and coughing up stuff. It's fine outdoors but indoors I get clogged up a lot more.

    It's swithering wether to be a storm or on not here! Feel really sorry for those without services, it happened to us when our youngest was a baby, it was really concerning. Before we would just go to the pub:biggrin: Luckily my neighbour is a kind hearted spark and he wired my small generator into my house, his electricity into my combi boiler and we were good. We were the only ones in the street out:confused1:
