braces for me, the nipples soon toughen up. keeps away the "waspy baws" belts and harnesses dont go. I know a fat guy who tried braces but he has nipples like scania wheelnuts so not a good idea.

the chain saw shop is a wonderfull place, its where i go when i close my eyes at night, it smells of two stroke and old spice. You can buy whatever you like and the invoice gets lost in the post. it has a canteen run by buxom nigella, you eat your lunch off little trays attached to border terries. She does a special 3 course pudding menu. Oh its a wonderful wonderful place. It is right beside the "monkeys with machine guns"shop another of my favourite places. It is run by the 3 mexicans. they got a diversification grant when they all came down with "pudding elbow" from helping nigella next door, with her special toblerone yorky surprise. There is no waiting period for the monkey when you buy an oozy. they just wrap it up for you go. there is a free red bull when you buy an AK orrangatang combo. Aahh how i love the my little world.

it takes the pixx, when the people say to me"its so easy when you have the right tools" i always say there are plenty of chainsaws in the chainsaw shop if you want to give it a try.

she had done all the shopping and wrapping for august. When she puts her mind to something she gets it done.

sure did, he was doing a nativety thing with his nursery, so he kept calling the bump baby jesus. It was hilarious. But he has forgotten about that thankfully.

I have a beautiful new son,an amazing other son, a great wife and mum to my kids, my life outwith work is so good, i am bored out my head with my job, so i keep buying kit to satisfy that gap. It lasts for a while then wears out. All i used to do is work, i never new what a private life was. But it pays the bills, and puts food on the table. those wee tractors are cool though.
-
what are you looking at buying?
-
I think all tools and machinery are excellent, but everything has its limitations. I use big kit for big stuff and small kit for small stuff. If you dont have the right kit then you compromise. I spend a lot of time sharpening saws for customers and friends, and everytime i pick up one of these small saws i laugh at how light they are, i keep meaning to buy one for light jobs. Even the electric saws, are cool. beats a bow saw any day. i think it all comes down to personal preferences.
-
could you stick up some pics mate, that would be cool.

Where the haggis rome free, men are still men and the sheep are really nervous:001_tongue:

I think it will always be an alternative, in my experience the immaculate well run farm that makes good money isnt interested in chip, but the farm that tips all its crap over the banking infront of the house cant get enough of it. as long as its free. I think there must be an issue with the fungi as well, but i know the chickens love it. For a quick fix to soak up the sloppy mud its great, but what do you do with it once you are finished with it, dung and straw can be spread on the fields because it breaks down quick.
-
sorry mate, i think i am a bit far away from you. but you have the right attitude, and sound keen to learn. So many guys just want to swing about trees straight away, then they get a fright and are scared to go back up. Logging up trunks in a yard is how i started with a saw. You soon learn its all about looking after your saw. And keeping your wits about you with kick back. Sorry i cant help you but someone here soon will.

i have never tipped in council yards, always found places for chip, alotments,horse arenas,garden centres ets. The hedgecuttings i uesd to stolk pile then shred with ducker. But i think its about 38 quid a ton, some places wont charge if they have a good recycling unit. But i am going to stockpile chip now for buzz.i would pm him.

Do you wish to buy this unimog?

Hi guys, does anyone here have an alpine tractor. Looking for input and advice, i have always went for the biggest thing i could afford but i really fancy one of these wee tractors. I would love one of the articulated ones with the back body. I was out in Italy this year(Barga)and firewood is there way of life, i couldnt believe where these tractors had been going.
