    Glad you are back earning Eddie!

    Advertising, £37 a year for my website hosts. This month I'm sign writing a vehicle so another few hundred quid. It doesn't matter how much your business costs to run, it how much you have left after spending that! That's the important bit.

    That's amazing!

    Mog, 3 tonner and 2 vans. Yes Huck, just me with the occasional subby!

    I'm £98 a day 365 days a year of costs. Or £36k a year. No staff just me.
  6. Stephen Blair
    Gutting! Fingers crossed for you!

    No use, metals too soft and grab not powerful enough.

    I had a set years ago, they were ok for Woodchips and Ioose stuff.

    Coffee and pancakes!

    Buy the chipper then get a crane fitted. If it were me I'd be buying a Bandit 250 and put a mowi crane on.

    Usually a onesie and just use google maps!

    They open up easy, it's just a casing then the gizmo inside. Get it serviced properly, I've had one that got scrapped as it laid to long full of crud.

    Buy a builders tool belt with the deep pockets and wear it back to front. I have 1 and put wedges in and a mallet.

    Go to the gym and do squats, get yourself strong for manoeuvre I g it without causing yourself an injury. That's what I did, within 4 weeks I could get it up and down stairs myself and getting it up and down the ramps was easy. It's hard work though getting into the training.

    Joe will be happy in his new digger

    Old technology the Swandris, fancy donkey jackets! Buy Swazi

    Karibu is waterproof and breathable Mark! Nothing man made can replicate it. Watched Ray Mears the other night I've worn a Swazi jacket for 12 years, best waterproof jacket I've ever had.

    Mog looks like new Jeremy! Is that a hydraulic spade on the back? Is your winch that's underneath hydraulic or pto?
  20. Stephen Blair
    Cheers Spud! The stop button always going back to start is the best thing Stihl have done since the leaf blower

    The new 261 is like an old 26 except even better! I got 2 , 261's 4 years ago and they have been dogs since the day I took them out the box. The roller bearing on the new 261 is still plastic but more substantial! I'm bad for leaving a saw idling while at the chipper, for as long as it takes to chip up. Spud do you think this can put extra wear on the bearing?

    The hook I usually need to give s good boot to stick it! The older ones had thinner sharper more flexible metal.
  23. Stephen Blair
    Cool Mog, get that chipper mounted on the drawbar blasting into the trailer .
  24. Stephen Blair
    Ha ha parrots beak
  25. Stephen Blair
    I've still got 1 of the grease guns for that, a wee black thing with a red cap.
