    From the album: work stuff

  2. have never thought of it like that before dave,hope the knee is on the mend:001_smile:
  3. we are thinking of diferent ways, putting the splitter up high with boards to make the logs fall into bags, daft ideas like that.any help appreciated.
  4. i wont a pick up so i can have one of those.excellent:001_smile:
  5. the 2 wee guys in the picture, one plits,one fills the bags. then we lift with the crane and stack. it is a guddle just now because there is no room to work. that is all the room i have, a small triangle beside a container.
  6. loadsa crane things, heres one of them:001_smile:
  7. dont have forklift, so thats ok.
  8. i have one that will fit across an ldv/transit that i would sell
  9. do you deliver in wire, or are they just for storage:001_smile:
  10. love the dodge ram, my mate has the shooting of a huge forest in perthshire, he asked me today if i could go up and trim some trees around the high seats, in time for the bucks. a morning with the pole saw equals a weekend shooting and a year supply of venison.
  11. so to sum it up, bags are quick and easy but a waste of time because they dont dry logs and rot, so spend a bit of time getting some pallets and a roll of sheep fence and do the job once:001_smile:
  12. that is pretty much how i feel about it, but i remember stairing at my prussick when i first started wondering how it was going to hold me up.
  13. how lond would they last lying outside covered?i cant get inside storage and its a right pain.
  14. i cant go near mint, makes me fill ill. spent a whole day as a kid pulling it out, mint overload:scared1:
  15. got to the job this morning with 2 boys and the lady who booked me in 10 days ago because she had to be there didnt want it done because she had visitors aarrgghh!!cow!so had a day pricing and firewood with the 2 lads.so full day with family tomorrow. there is a new dogy cartoon out at the pics so i think that will be the one, then nandos for some chicken me thinks.

  16. homebase used to do it dean, when you came out the tills, a big board with cards on it:001_smile:
  17. ahh, carrbridge why didnt you say:001_tongue:would like to make it, missed it last year.
  18. was it hard getting the spikes in with the temperature so low, lol good job mate, i bet your hands were freezing
  19. good idea dave, i have a throwline,throwbag all in a climbing pouch under the seat of the mog that has been there for years, i think i will stick it on my harness on monday.thanks:001_smile:
  20. i am still a prussik man, i wouldnt be confident not seeing what my rope is around and not being in control of both ends, i would have nightmares of someone untying the other end. how do you find it?
  21. you will fill the chip box in 10 minutes with a descent chipper, the u900 is great as a tool carrying skidder with a chipper, throwing slices into a mog box is a pain, keep the pick up for those in and out domestics jobs that are over 10 miles away. or you could buy my mog ha ha
