  1. Awful cliched cheesy wrongness in cartoon/ puppet form.......but it is hilarious and on now:thumbup: and it has puppet sex in it
  2. I do all the cooking, all the housework, everything. But then again my wife lives 310 miles from me and olly.
  3. Takeuchi (takootchee) like most of the jap stuff (hitachi etc) is a superb make. Bobcat and kubota have good engines (they are the same) but thats about as far as it goes. They fall apart and are underpowered, being built to a price, but they do the job. JCB are a (small) step upwards, and schaeff are superb. But like everything you get what you pay for...in the case of diggers that is usually more hydraulic pumps.
  4. Excellent mill, and jst saws are a very good company to deal with. I have an oscar 36 and have been milling part of a contract that the other mill doing was a mizer....my timber consistently came out better.
  5. There is no excuse for killing, under ANY circumstances. What gives ANYONE that right. I find this thread astonishing. And ELG- you kill loads of people in your country every year, yet your crime rate is soaring.......the death penalty has no use as a deterrent. David Goss- have you ever been to prison?
  6. Firewood it is. Dont waste them.
  7. Snapped this with the moby on the way back from devon tonight...
  8. Oooh nice. Very professional image Simon.
  9. This stuff is the business:Deet Insect Repellent Spray Bottle 100ml
  10. I dunno janey....... you have obviously never tried smoking medlar.....
  11. Cant Hooks and gravity and good old fashined manpower:thumbup1: Yes. Before i got there my mate had tried that with the beech log, and come pretty unstuck- it is a heavy lump (its 13 foot long and 2 foot diameter so fairly lumpy!!) and was just dragging the trailer sideways. I have done it as you describe too, and ended up tearing the metal bed off my old ifor. This is much more controlled and no way as hard on the kit:biggrin: No- like stevie said lift one end if the log with a lever,or roll the log with a cant hook until the hook is clear.
  12. Parbuckling is when you take the winch wire over the top of the log and cack to a stationary nchor point. The best way to roll/ move timber. You can move very very big pieces this way. Here is the last log to go on the ifor from this morning........and before everyone makes references to overloading, yes it was way overloaded, but it wasnt going on a public highway, so we didnt worry, just being moved abot the estate.

  13. Although noe of any direct use to you, I use a company here who have an 8 wheeler with a 66 tonne/ metre crane on it. It will lift 3.6 tonnes at 16 metres, and costs about £60/ hour. Although that seems alot, in fact they are so quick that it doesnt add up to a lot. You may be worth finding a market for the timber then trying to find a company like that, albeit i am sure london prices would be alot more, it may be an option to consider.
  14. I carry a 12 ton jack. Its about 4" diameter and about 12" tall.

    Cool film Mily. You are going to fit into our little community soooo well- five posts in and you have supplied us with pics of big trees (albeit on the deck) and cool vids of crazy stuff!
  16. Bloody hell you have good eyes- i never spotted the suspension!! I agree though, and that headboard is wrong as you say, and the legs at the back look wrong. I just put it down to the age of my old ifor!
  17. You sure?(not that it is actually relevant to the atrocious state of things in that pic:001_rolleyes:)
  18. :confused1:thats a little black dog isnt it:confused1:
  19. Wow what a fantastic opportunity for someone. Good luck with your search James. (BTW everybody- cracking wines from the Loire Valley)
