I have been extremely disappointed with this helmet. The visor didnt last a year unti;l the hinge section snapped off, costing me a new visor. The visor became scratched within a very short time as it didnt clear the front of the helmet, rendering it useless, and now one of the plastic clips holding the inner harness to the actual helmet has disintegrated, meaning that i cannot wear it. I also found it hotter and heavier feeling than the petzl vertex which i have gone back to. A faultless bit of kit IMO. TBH other than the lowering equipment from stein, I dont really rate their gear at all.

A farmer gets a call from his son...."Dad, Dad, I've just run over a pig and hes stuck under the tractor still alive...."...."shoot it and bury him"... said the farmer... About half an hour later the phone rang again...."I've done that, now what should i do with his bike and the speed camera???"

Thats brilliant mate. Thanks. I will rip the magnet out of a big speaker tomorrow!!

I liked your post:thumbup1:

Im hoping it is just that- i reckon a bit of woodchip is in there. The breather on the tank is clear, and the hose is good. Is it possible that there could be corrosion at all on the solenoid that releases the butt to let it down, resulting in poor effort? Or is that ulikely- ie i wondered if the plunger may be not operating fully?

Dont worry about vermeer selling them- they are used to selling high quality expensive kit. Beside, you get what you pay for in this world:sneaky2:

I need some pointers please. The tipper on my truck has just developed a fault which is that it wont drop properly. It tips fine, but the drop back down takes about 10 minutes, which is obviously unacceptable. The pump part is off a transit (it has a black metal reservoir with the pump bolted to one end, a solenoid on the top and a return valve switch/ valve on the side). It started being really slow all of a sudden a few days back. What sort of things do i look for? My first try will be to drain all the fluid out and put fresh in it. I will also remove the pipe from the ram (whilst supporting the butt on a loader) to make sure it isnt the seals in the ram all twisted up (although given that it tips up fine i am assuming they are ok). What does the release mechanism comprise of, and is it repairable? Would dirt etc (woodchip dust) cause this? Ta in advance:thumbup1:

Did you not get it through Adi Josh??

Most chainsaw boots are very hard wearing and will last well, and as work boots go they are not that heavy either IMO, and many are now gore-tex lined too. Haix seem very popular (I have used the protector pros for years), but a search through threads on the forum will reveal a broad selection of recommendations and preferences of makes from members.

Good call Justin. Come on people....dig deep!!

I reckon that given the nature of some posts on this site that this is one of the naughtiest sites out there- i mean killing trees???????WTF:lol::lol:

Is a tyre coming off a regular thing dave? I take it its from running at low pressure when in slimy conditions?

Its an expensive gimmick that those nobs at appkle have come up with to fleece more hard earned punds out of the general public. My mat egave one to his girl for her birthday.....the screen was smashed within a fortnight. You can just imagine the board room meeting when that idea was thought up.......'well we've got these old laptop screens that we cant do anything with, and we need to direct attention away from the recent problems that the iphone is having.....I know, lets make another overpriced gimmick that those who have been taken in by our bull for the last decade will want to rush out and buy and make us even more money' Not that i am cynical AT ALL:sneaky2:

Haha this thread has taken AAGES to load- nearly a minute for the progress bar to fill up!

It was very funny TBH- I met the guys from WPD who had been with that guy all day, and i was asking them why devon firms were working in cornwall balh blah blah......he said that matey had hit the safety bar on the chipper with a branch, as you do, , but couldnt work out how to get the chipper going again (hitting the restart button above the hopper) and thought the chipper was broken lol!

Its can be a PITA with a chain mill, but can be an expensive episode with the bandmill. i hit a gate crook in exeter in the middle of a 4' dia holm oak....ripped several teeth off the band, and as has been mentioned, made some ugly scars on the two boards. the only other time in 13 years was a very old nail in the centre of a farm hedgerow sweet chestnut. I always try to debark before i cut, and on hardwoods from hedges or farmland i do a visual check first, although i tend not to mill these unless i have felled them myself, or seen them standing first.

A steam cleaner would do it. Or the likes of 'muck off', or brillo pads maybe.

Cool!!
