  1. Have you been to Scotland in summertime? That's how I know they're rubbish in the snow
  2. Bell end here! I've got the red Zermatts. Cracking for everything except in the snow, feet are freezing!! Solid boot, great ankle support, but they'd definately a spiking boot, lethal on wet big timber, so basically a good ground boot lol! I've never heard a bad word about Hiax! I have a range of boots. Light solomons for non chainsaw, Zermatts for tree killing, Elton for summer and neoprene wellies for the wet. Oh and jallatte riggers for Flymo Ing and warm day stealies.
  3. I ended up just buying a front mount Ducker, my TP 250 was too heavy for the u1200.
  4. Gyms are warm and full of friendly enthusiastic folk, hospitals are not. Only operation I've had went ok, that was just my hand.
  5. I'm with Huck and Geoff! Get to the gym, change your job, change your ways!! Me no likey the knifey!
  6. Fantastic! I would love to hear your story and pics along the way. I doubt your 24 and only ever climbed on bright orange ropes! Sorry to the OP for derail .
  7. Weathers been pretty poor for the last 2 weeks, glad you enjoyed the trip.
  8. No you don't Mark, that's the beauty of a u1650 with front chipper and rear hiab. You really should pay take advice rather than be do defensive about your little van, take this as a virtual pat on the head son
  9. You'll be the man to listen to then Aspen going by those pictures! A fine fleet! Are you the company owner/founder?
  10. Mark, I said Fact!!! Is that the same drive a 3.5tonner can't reverse the chipper up, its either too steep or the front end keeps catching the pillar and cant get a turn into, the same drive that the Groundie spills diesel on filling a TW . It's also the same drive to the house that has a big field or lane along the back, that the Mog drives up or over and lifts everything over the fence or wall. Mog fact moggitty fact !!!!
  11. If your chipper was crane fed, then you'd be getting there:)
  12. Ha ha, my wife told me before I started that Lego throw in some spares. ,the hiab runs off its own compressor off the gearbox . Brilliant
  13. A u1650 with front chipper, underbody winch and remote hiab on the rear, is perfect for everything!!! Fact !!!
  14. That's the stuff, get obsessed then I'll sell you a Mog with hiab on
  15. Only seen a few minutes of a few episodes . All I know is if I am invited onto the show with my Wife and my Brother, its not going be good news!!
  16. You can start a quick build thread mate!!
  17. Nice 1, I think I was about 12 hrs all in.
