Lovely shots Reg.......trees and babes alike!

Stunning timber mate. No good outdors though, as it will rot very fast. If there are pithy soft bits, you can invest in a chemical wood hardener. Minwax Definitely Gets Your Wood Hard - Minwax Wood Hardener, 1 Pint. - Epinions.com

Rob, we all know its not your missus and that its your flagellation gimp administering that well deserved punishment. You bad, bad boy. Still, could be worse- i was milling pippy oak all day today into 3"x4" beams, and managed to waste about 7 running metres of it by working late and tired and mis-measuring.......... better send the gimp down, i have the chain ready......

I reckon that you should try to get one from holland, where they are assembled, as it would be cheaper on import duty, and if you can pay vat on it over there it should be cheaper again, being an EU member state. You spoken to Jamie at B-Trac?

:lol:probably would have!!

Try these guys jon:CHURCHILL Land Rover or these guys:MJA Land Rover - Find Us or if you can get in touch with your local club (if yiou can take the beardy weirdy ness of it all) they will point you to good cheap landy specialists.

Just rang my land rover garage- they said abot 350-400 plus the dreaded......240 labour and the rest in parts, and the usuall advise a new clutch fork. They do have MASSIVE throughput of vehicles though so that may have a bearing, and it is Cornwall. The gut i spoke to said when they have vehicles from up-country the customer is always expecting to pay double the hourly rate. May not be so far off the mark Jon. Just noticed you last post- dont consider main dealer mate!!!! You'll need a mortgage. I'm totally with 18 stoner here.

I have met plenty of old grunts who have formulated some bizarre ideas of things like that through having a lifetime on their own and drawing their own 'factual' ideas. No doubt we can all learn loads from guys like that, but at the same time they do come out with some great stuff. Dont disillusion the guy or try to correct him, he has a lifetime behind him and it wouldn;t be at all productive.

Deano thats brilliant mate. Get some old southern fried chicken and let the flies lay in it, ready for when you return the rubbish to his carefully manicured lawn or his porch. We get loads of crap dumped at the bottom of our lane by the house clearance pikies. Costs our landlord (the council farms dept) a fortune.

I always understood that softwoods were evergreens/ coniferous etc and hardwoods were deciduos/ broadleafed. It has nothing to do with the properties of the timber. Balsa is a hardwood, but the wood is VERY soft, yew is a softwood, but the wood is VERY dense/ hard. Hope that helps.

So are some of them self powered, and is 500hp the requirement? Or are they just crap? How come thay are so bad at chipping? Like i said, I have no experience of them (i was like a little kid when it started going)!

It is very small that chopper.................

Thats really interesting to hear that Ed. I have never seen anything like that working before- at least not 'in the flesh' - so had nothing to compare it to, but that was exactly my opinion too. It was hooked up to a 936 vario fendt, kicking out 300+BHP, and yet at times it seemed pitifully slow. The pile of chips grew at an astonishing rate, but i honestly thought that there was too much time with the crane doing nothing except waiting to load the next grabful.

I loved the sound it made- like the cartoon 'glug' sound of someone drinking out of a bottle!
