  1. Thats very big of you to admit to that mate... Am i the only person to own an 088 who hasn't broken arms/wrists/fingers starting mine in 10 yrs ownership?
  2. I find this sort of thing almost unbelievable!! 60 trees and no witnesses!
  3. Flippin' 'eck mate.....that is unreal.:001_smile:
  4. Happy birthday young'un! Missus did well there. The cake will be much nicer than if it was 'the other kind':001_tongue:
  5. Haha. You will look like you belong in a convoy in that rig!
  6. These are not the droids you are looking for.
  7. I didnt see the crane at the crash site, only at the show. But yeah, think it was then. S.E.D is an amazing experience. EVERYTHING to do with construction, including a 1100hp chipper that had a 36" throat, being loaded with a 21tonne swinger.....that couldnt keep up!!! They chewed an oak trunk up that was about 2' diameter in seconds. When the machine hit a lump, it just spewed out more black smoke like the self propelled foragers do, the V10 engine management kicking in. Boys toys. 28tonne scissor lift access platform.....
  8. How dare you, some of us have been trying to get that look for years....
  9. Soooo true. I saw the 1000 tonne liebherr used (in tandem with another the same:scared1:) to lift the carriages off the Kings Cross rail crash. It was parked at the edge of the S.E.D show, and was indescribably big. The weights on the back end are just unreal, as is the fleet of lorries needed to transport it.
  10. Yeah- gano i thought. They looked quite old, unfortunately the pics were awful. Only posted for posterity TBH:001_smile:
  11. Where you based millmate?
  12. They wil do anything you give them. Like Matty said, take care. Make sure you press the ring hard down onto the bed when pushing it into the cone.
  13. I havent seen anything, but what a top idea!
  14. :scared1:They are about the most expensive place to buy anything. That one cost a lot less than that.Check these guys out.Crouch Recovery | 24 hour car & commercial recovery | Leicestershire | Northamptonshire
  15. My vermeer had the hideous kohler flat twin 11hp petrol when i first got it. It now has a 39hp deutz aircooled diesel. The engines can be found prety cheap on things like twin vibrating roller etc, and go on the vermeer very well. Ill see if i can dig out some pics........ 'That old chestnut' i hear you cry..
  16. Nice one. I have a few guys who look out for stuff for me, and also offer the service to customwers- it looks good for them and everyone benefits. Also, if you have large lumps of timber to get out of a garden which normally would be cut into rings, e.g. if you have to get thing out down an alley etc., then the product has more value for you in the longrun than firewood.
