  1. Brighton has a load- they never got it i think the theory being that the beetle didnt make it over the south downs. I have a feeling they spray or innoculate:confused1:the trees too. BBC NEWS | England | How Brighton beat Dutch Elm menace
  2. There is no comparison whatsoever between the h14 pto and any other 4x4 winch. It has more torque, can be run constantly with no fear of overheating whatsoever, and being of basic design there is very little to go wrong. Having had various electric winches (warn, ramsey and superwinch, all around 9000lb pull) and having burnt them all out to some degree in tree work, i would vouch for the h14 any day. Given that it has a maxinmum line piull of 6 tonnes in the relevant application, you will never get near its maximum pull in tree work when fitted to a 4x4, thus you will never strain it.No contest at all IMO. I think that a decent hyd winch would come a very close second.
  3. Seen a few of those doing comp safari- great little things. You seen this youtube vid? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr8eEWyKQHM]YouTube - Farley quarry 20/5/07 suzuki sj water[/ame]
  4. Bad luck mate- sounds like a proper PITA.
  5. I heard that it was strictly 'need to know' stuff. :001_tt2:
  6. I mate of mine was toying with that idea., using a bearcat with a rotary table(not the road rail bit). Did it not make the hopper really high?
  7. Top saws IMO- i got one just as they came out and it looks beaten to hell now, but is still running sound.
  8. There is a well known member of his forum whose website clearly offers a 361 with a 20" bar for £555.45 inc VAT.
  9. Hey- it felt like 7 months my friend:blushing:
  10. Ill pick your brains on that one later mate, on behalf of my mate......well into a bottle of red now after a week off the alchohol so now aint the time!
  11. Oh- and congrats on your 1k mark mate!!! Sorry i missed it 10 posts ago!
  12. There seems little difference to me- they are all sat in your house mate.......when i get my grubby little paws on one of them then i will be able to tell the difference- one will be mine!!:lol:
  13. My mate has just made a trailer like that with a 7" chipper running off a series one with rear PTO and a 2 litre montego perkins turbo diesel engine. Much more power than the chipper originally had.
  14. £600??????????? But new ones with a warranty including VAT and carriage are available for £45 less!??? List price is a total irrelevance isnt it?
  15. Absoloutely true. Working in LOrd Falmouths estate last year on ancient sessile oak woods, very few trees over 8-10" DBH, was last clear felled in the 70's, and probably had been for thousands of years, thus creating the woods as they are now. We were removing non-natives, Lordy wanted it felled, natural england said no as it was ancient woodland.

  17. Excellent vid- those guys were totally proficient. Like you say Dean, shame about the timber though!
  18. LOL Dave, you should get thios blown out of the water- speak to whatever insurance companies you deal with etc, or even go to trading standards. That is totally irresponsible and possibly not legal what that ins company has done.
  19. But they are sooooo good Dean. I have tried so many crap jackets over the yeras, and this stein has had twig snags and abrasion and monsoon, and TBH i cannot fault it. I did end up wet a few weeks back after a day in a tulip tree from about 10am til about 3pm and nearly 2" of rain fell that day, but i was dry for most of the day, and i think most of the water went up my sleeve (or down i spose when i raised my arms) and down my neck.
  20. Thought this was worth a heads up guys. MB Trac 1000 on eBay (end time 28-Nov-09 10:49:39 GMT)
