  1. you will have to double wrap the loops but watch you dont get the trestles stuck with the weight of the logs, once i get one filled i just work with one trestle and tie the loops onto the filled bag, just keep pulling up the corners as you fill them to get plenty in and keep the sides vertical. you can even put a ramp up the trestle and fill with a barrow, thats what we do aswell.
  2. i like that one mate but i did have to click on the new posts the other night when i was looking at one of your posts when the wee man came over for a nosy at the tree stuff like he usually does, i think its 'oops' that has the really scary one.
  3. i think they are chancing there arms a bit with this one
  4. 2 builders trestles. cheap.simple.adjustable
  5. i love your enthusiasm, i have lost some of that over the years. i think you just get used to it, and now that i have kids my work is second place, but just wait till you buy your first quad. mine was a suzuki 500, brand new. i paid 5k for it with all the farm racks and stuff on it. i had been in business for about 3 years when i got it. and if you think that feeling is good then wait till you get your first mog delivered on a low loader right to your front door. it is all possible with hard work and determination mate:thumbup1:
  6. what goes around comes around, if this is how the lad runs his business and life then he will soon come cropper i reckon
  7. good stuff, how deep can you stack them so they still air ok, do you space them apart and stack ontop aswel?
  8. that could be arranged mate. i have an old gravity one you can have for nowt, it has been lying for about 7 years at my mates farm doing nothing, it might even be scrapped by now, but it ran great. It will rattle the teeth right out of you if you want to chip dead stuff all day but it is great for offcutts, you just throw them in and it chomps away at it. if it is still there you can have it mate.
  9. blue skys! we got soaked today up here and it was freezing. great pics
  10. the above post is my personal opinion on the matter, it is for the authorities to sort out, it is easy for me to say this 500miles away as there would be no consequences or repurcussions toward me or my company. Respect given to anyone who sees this guy and can refrain from saying something because it cant be easy.
  11. the big pocket on your trousers on the leg. thats where mine is
  12. he is a danger to himself and others plus he is a robbing little scumbag, i wouldnt think twice about reporting him, its not school playground stuff, its the big wide world. these idiots always make it better for us in the long run as folk learn that they are cowboys, but unfortunately they rob people blind along the way.
  13. are the straps holding up tom?i really think its the way forward, as it saves a lot more handling. but if they fall apart then that isnt much use
  14. nice in black mate, very unusaul for a tree wagon. looks great. i always fancied getting the mog sprayed black. that will hold a lot of chip, i really need to get a chip box made for the truck:001_smile:
  15. i am now very itchy thanks dave, are they aphids??
  16. good stuff andy, i wasnt sure if you got the number so i called ian up and you had already made contact. sweet. what trellis did you get andy??
  17. i had a customer today comment on how under priced he thought the job was by the expert. especially in London
  18. those orrible green things have paid a few bills for me johnty over the years and they will continue to for many years to come, well spotted deano, nit comb it is.
  19. i still have my red van but that is now back to being the family van, so it is getting de-stickered and valeted for the good lady and kids. i have always enjoyed getting new kit, i get bored easily with stuff and i always find better ways(i think) of doing stuff. i still have the lorry, i just havent had any jobs for her.
  20. nothing fancy but it is my new van:001_cool:
