Reg, your pics and videos will be sorely missed when you leave our shores. thanks for posting more brilliant pics!! They were some mighty big pieces you were playing with there!

Gotta be the ultimate 4x4 tow motor TBH.

Not heard anything about this, but I take it that the big kid had benn the subject of bullying by the other kid? I hate bullies. I was lucky to not have received it, but my little bro did and it didnt do him any favours at all.

Very good point Nick. I regularly see farmers towing heavily laden Ifor cattle boxes bulging with bullocks, easily weighing up to the limit, no problems. As long as the nose weight on the drawbar is as it should be and the tow vehicle runs level, then there shouldnt be any worries.

This is true, and something i am attempting to sort on my defender at the mo. However it is VERY expensive, so maybe not lol!

Mercedes M class......

Anything with permanent 4x4- so defender, disco, landcruiser.

Apparently the listing has been ended by the seller as the item is no longer available......

Hahaha.....I would love to be able to see how this pans out......tight git!

Never mind dirty...perhaps those with spotless machines have too much time on their hands:sneaky2: Is that a 7.5 tonner you have it hitched too? I imagine therein lies a large part of your problem. Lorry suspension is so hard compared to 4x4 or van etc that the stresses on the a-frame are much higher, and this sort of breakage is regularly seen on caravans and smaller trailed stuff towed by rally-ers etc. You may want to think about putting a spring loaded hitch on the truck to avoid this happening again.

I would have said richards too. My mate has recently done a 130, it wasnt much more than £1500, and they customised it too for him. When i do mine it will be a richards one.

I agree. Just to be pedantic though....... A decent trowel made by marshalltown (the stihl/ husky of trowels) will retail in most outlets for around £40 for a standard brick trowel

Cut and extract rates £££££££££ ???

TCD i dont know if this is the job you mentioned to me the other day, but I am glad i said i wouldnt know where to start.....the posts so far are all double dutch to me!! -
I had a pair or two when i first got my basic ticket, left over from having to wear them on the course......I ended up having a pee one day and dropped them from under my arm and pee-ed on them...never bothered with them again for reasons stated above. I use those builders type things now with the rubber dipped palms and fingers- like most people seem to TBH. Its not a legal requirement. edit. Just read your post, and as far as best practice goes, yes it is a requirement i believe.

stihl 088.

Very slick video, but i would love to see him do that on a filthy slimy sycamore in the cornish pee-ing rain on slimy green algae covered branches with no feeling in his hands with it blowing a hooly and a saw swinging from his harness...then i WOULD be SERIOUSLY impressed......I have to agree with rupe here....
-
Haix are the best by far IMO. had the pros for ages now, wouldnt change. Told the meindls are also VERY good. Had a pair years ago, and they were tops. Still prefer the haix though.
-
my thoughts too TBH.....

Ew close one!! Looks like you had maximum life out of those wheel bearings though eh? lol

Steady on Rob....I think they are still on living standing trees:laugh1:
