Haha- it was a fuken nightmare mate. My landy is totally geared up for work- the back is too light for the solidness of the suspension (the heaviest duty standard set up i could find) and there is no articulation in the axle. When loaded its awesome- the suspension starts to work, but obviously loaded means reduced ground clearance, which isnt so good when playing around in a quarry......

Thanks doctor. The third one had only just come up- it had leaf matter etc on it befors i took the pic, and was quite moist still if that makes a difference to the prognosis lol. -
Haha- i have no love ofit- its a tool that costs me money lol. Heres a few from the one time i took it to aplay site with my bro who is into that sorta thing. I turned up with a bent trackrod, which we straightened a few times, and my bro left, and olly (my boy) persuaded me to go through the puddle in the 3rd pic. To cut a long story short that cost me half shafts and cv joints and a new winch wire and loads of work in the mud.....never again- i get enough of it from work...... Theres 8 inches of water in that secong pic in the footwell. It stank for ages. The water ended up over the sides of the doors....YUK

I hear ya:thumbup1: This is so true. I reckon that as soon as a squeak appears then get it fixed and it wil be not too bad, leave it go at your peril. I have been in debt to my garage for years now. I nearly cleared it all last month, but have just had the rear diff re-shimmed, so now owe them again:001_rolleyes:

Im sure i have bore you all before with pics of my abused steed...I have left out the ones of it flat on the bump stops (where it usually sits:blushing:)...The chestnut bent the bed of the trailer slightly....

Matty what the hell do you do to them to kill transmission that fast!!!!????? That very impressive lol

YOu are welcome mate. The chippers crap though. This would be better than anything else tho Cornwall news, Jobs, Sports, Cars, Homes | This is Cornwall

Do you mean the 2009 edition or the 1964 one?
-
LOL- their reaction to my request to liberate it was along the lines of 'that old rubbish- help yourself'!! Besides- the two articles are different, and i suspect that the july '64 edition is now unavailable lol.
-
I was away in Sussex for my bro's wedding staying in a pub/ inn. In my room were Nat Geographics dating back to the 60's, including one about the big rdwoods, and how they first started measuring them......very interesting article, especially for those that have read The Wild Trees, vis-a-vis names of people involved etc, and moreover in light of the edition from October last year...Obviously i liberated it...

Oh yes, my bad.:lol: sorry Dean:blushing:

Gateway to Deans yard is a favourite i heard......

I snapped these whilst on a walk in the woods at Ote HAll in sussex at the weekend (for my bros wedding- priorities and all that eh:blushing:) -
I dont know what you lot are on about.......toptoolsman, get a loop strop, make a figure of eight out of it and step into it. There you go, harness in one. Bit of blue polyprop rope and you're away lol. It sounds to me (being serious now) that you could do ALOT worse than subbying in a pro climber/ arborist for climbing jobs. The risks you are running (legally/ HSE etc) in the (hopefully unlikely) event of serious accident arent worth it.
-
And here we have it....IF the claimed risks are TRUE.....(they pretty much arent.)
-
I just googled both, and both give the same results. I think it is down to regional peculiarities of speech, nothing more.
-
Who told you that mate- I have asked on here and made allusions several times,only to be given yet more slippery replies.......
-
Red diesel is going to be phased out in tthe future anyway, and the difference is in the duty paid on the fuel......As aspen refuse to reveal how much of their enourmous price is the tax, or in fact very much else about their product, then this is all speculation anyway.
-
We all do it......get a few years under your belt and you will too probably...
-
I used Ady's the other day, and once the damaged blade had been sorted,ish, it cut really well and fast. Had a 361 next to it and you could feel the pull on the 362. good saw i reckon. Edit- to run a 20" on it up a tree might be a bit slow...thats its max bar lenght, and since putting a 16" bar on my 361 i can feel the difference, so for climbing with maybe a bigger saw would be a better option, like what Matty was saying with speed of cut.
-
Yeah it had calmed right down by the time i got back. Hung up miles of rope to dry and theres stil enough breeze through the barn tho:thumbup1: Bet the surf was awesome.
-
You're all wrong- stopped on the way home soaking wet, to get dragged into a call out with a mate for a huge alder that was supposedly on a car (windy as fook here). Big tree, no car. NIce one on the chipper pics. Good idea, and yes, thats very useful....and no i couldnt do it without hideous drag...
-
I see where you are all coming from in a way, but I never drag brash anyway. I have a groundy to do that, and he makes me well over £100/ day in doing so.....its a no brainer to me, and he costs me nothing when he isnt there. I am HONESTLY not trying to be argumantative, i just CANNOT see the advantage in them. Sorry guys.
