  1. Have any of you guys put lights on the chipper, not just indicators and reflectors, but actual headlights, I have seen it somewhere. With the ducker on the front, my driver side headlight can't be seen, not ideal.
  2. Good to see the public keeping out your work zone:001_rolleyes:
  3. How did I miss this thread and Rab why have you never told me about your amazing city chipper/tipper combo?
  4. Come on Steve, show the pics of the big scrapes down the sides of the building:sneaky2: That's some good work guys, stay safe:thumbup1:
  5. Include me aswell, I tried to make Santa once, then it was demoted to Elf and then tried to make an ear and decided a wonky mushroom it would have to be:blushing:
  6. Sickening!!!
  7. Nice girraffe!!! Welcome
  8. Good video Rover:thumbup1:
  9. That must of been gut wrenching to discover:thumbdown: Sorry to hear, someone surely must of seen that go walkers .
  10. Watch films and feel like I should be doing something more constructive
  11. Now that's proper kit!!!!!
  12. Wide angled lens!!
  13. I've always liked the u140, cheap as chips and look like they drive more like a van but I've never heard good press about them. How's she been for you .
  14. I think you'll find it's Johns Valmet now:biggrin:
  15. No you drive a digger and think the above, the question is about tree climbing, you don't climb trees, so as Steve mentioned, your opinion isn't valid . Put a vid up of your skills on your old digger and I'll show a few of my mates who are operators and they can see if you are any good or not.
  16. I was 6 months, but I'm unique!!
  17. 7 years I'd say for the full package.
  18. If you don't use it everytime you move on the ground unless its at the other side of a stem you only have your own excuses and justification, age, experience and all that other stuff is an excuse, it's the only dangerous part of the saw and so simple to use and isnt expensive and quick to replace and repair.
  19. Ha ha ha ha!! Just snorted while sitting in a cafe !
  20. Ron Clowse is in Fochabers and travels. He's brilliant , sorry don't have contact. JimM on here will though.
  21. Use it everytime I should, carry spare bands and springs . Full rev chain test every fresh start.
  22. The 200. 8", the size below yours , the jump to the 250 is about double though in production easy I would say.
  23. Do you honestly think he is concerned about your price? Whatever you said, he would of acted the same way. And it's worked, your all doubting yourself and feeling like your 10. It's a tactic called " critical dad " and it works on most folk who had strict caregivers. next time someone does this too you, just say nothing, not a squeak, no response just a blank expression, it will seem like time has stopped for you, and will feel very awkward, but the person will just go back to normal as long as you keep stoom!! Now I think you should contact this gentleman and say you have had a think about what he said and he was right, offer to drop the price to £700 p vat but you do want paid upon completion for your generous offer. Or forget it, the job sounds brutal and have a day off and go fishing or go karting:biggrin:
