  1. stop going on about all your prizes, and thanking everyone for all your prizes. from a not very bitter swamp lover:sad:
  2. moggy looks like a toy beside the crane? i would end up in beside it.
  3. arbtalk i wish i tried harder at school
  4. its in a nightmare bit, single track rd, below the crane the field drops away at about 30 degrees then drops straight into a huge glen, this is one lucky guy. we are all wondering how they plan to get it out, if scrap was high it would be gone by now in the back of a couple of transits. i will keep you posted on how its going. i wreckon the best way would be a couple of monster track machines and drag it out. the crane crossed 2 bridges it shouldnt have to get there. so who knows how they will get kit in, or dismantle it. it will be good to see anyway:001_smile:
  5. pretty much the same story here, good soil and no light, its good if they get a chance to grow straight. a lot of sway on them when they get really tall.
  6. did you know he was a gurka. i read this some where, cant mind where.
  7. rolled once and landed here. 60 tonner:001_smile:
  8. whack them with a branch, that usually catches their attention:001_smile:
  9. i was going to spend a lot of money on a yard machine, i demod a new tracked bobcat must have been about 3 ton. amazing piece of kit, my 6 months of summer crap was tidied in about 2 hrs. if you are loading and making money with it then fair enough but just for general tidying its money sitting about in the yard. Borrow a tractor and loader for a day or get a jcb in. as for taking them out on site to make life easier it was more hassle than it was worth most of the time because of access and our ground conditions. it was just another piece of kit to break down and give you hassle. I cant recomend roofmounts enough if you are working within a small distance from the yard and are excellent for loading vehicles and tidying yard. the tracked skidsteer was head and shoulders above a normal skidsteer and hardly left a mark if you took it easy, manouverability was amazing.but there was a 23k price tag
  10. nict to look at but they will be hard going, the old banana branches! but once you get up top it will be worth it mate.
  11. is there still as many huge tranny hookers beside the park mate beside the youth hostel in christchurch. we were scared to leave the hostel. They were like lumo in lipstick:scared1:
  12. got really bad up here about 7ish, then just passed. lovely still morning now
  13. try braces mate if you dont already. they can pull the trousers up quite a bit, just watch the crown jewels though, dont pull them too much.
  14. dam, i am just passing kendal in the valmet steve, i should of checked the start date on the thread:001_smile:
