  1. I thought about it first.....
  2. BTW i love the last pic of yours....that lower arrow......I've not heard them referred to like THAT before......
  3. I have been following this thread with interest David. I have a pretty big radiata to dismantle in a very wooded valley, albeit this tree is actually in a garden, so slightly more on its own. The tree has a girth of about 6' diameter for about 10', then splits onto about 7 huge limbs forming an upturned hand shape, with a large central leader. How would this tree react to being left as a weird 15' high multi-monolith with slots for habitat? (Im thinking of how quickly the remainig tree, on the edge of a steep slope with a powerline and road 30' below, might decay....) Can these techniques be used on any timber, or are bats more species specific? I would be keen to have a go, and think the customer would be most supportive?
  4. I wonder about the quality of steel too; its well known that steel does vary. HOwever it also made sense to me about the rigidity of the lift set up making the chassis too rigid, and the stresses that would have transferred throughout the chassis become focused on one spot.
  5. Priceless aint it?!?!
  6. Furthermore- rear tubs make crap tippers as they have the wheel arches in them..
  7. Its a bit more than a 2mm box section, as it has strengthening bits and pieces internally.
  8. Ok, this IS very funny.... open up google maps, get directions fom japan to china (these MUST be your destinations to make this work) and check out the 41st instruction:laugh1::laugh1:
  9. :lol:
  10. Nice one Pete...thats as i thought, have started on it. Pics if i remember.
  11. Anyone changed the belts on a 935i? It looks like you have to strip off a load of stuff to get them out from the two pullies on the end of the engine??? Surely its easier than this? HELP!!!
  12. Are you guys referring to the shorter hookeroons? I wonder whether the longer versions would be heavy enough to use with sawlogs?
  13. Well you got there in the end! I liked em mate.
  14. Just got this in an email......the OAP version....:lol: YouTube - Are You Lonesome Tonight (Senior Moments Version)
  15. My missus would kill me if i got the camera out at those special moments... Excellent shots Mark:thumbup1:
  16. Absolutely brilliant mate. I can remember doing that very bit of music when I learnt. His tuning is really good!
  17. :lol:
  18. That was a good point Andrew.
  19. For the last 38 minutes i have been listening to some great reggae sounds on the telly...Junior Murvin, police and thieves at the time of posting.....beautiful Black Ark sounds. BBC4.
  20. As Huck says.
  21. Im not sure Stu, I was listening to him chatting to people from natural England when he was describing that. The primary use is not for removal of infected material, more for the likes of moorland reclamation or (for e.g) miscanthus harvesting etc etc. TBH I idnt get a huge amount of time to chat to him in detail much more than i have mentioned in the thread so far, but he did mention clearance with more machinery, and lads with saws and fires clearing the final remains after ramorum clearance, the obvious benefits being the speed of the clearance, and a;so the useability of the cut material.
  22. The owner of the machine organised the demo. He is a very sorted guy.......but then given his family background he should be.
  23. Yeah its truly the way forward for scrub clearance and land reclamation. Really big business in poland (of course!!)
  24. Aah the S&DJR.....one of the most famous and loved of the pre Beeching lines. During 1918, the camp changed from being the depot for the Royal Naval Division to being an 'Intake Camp' for the Royal Flying Corps which was at that time being reformed as the Royal Air Force, and a branch railway line was built to bring materials and personnel to the camp. The railway was linked with the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway line immediately south of Blandford Forum railway station and there was a daily passenger service to bring civilian staff to the camp from Bournemouth and the villages in between. At the end of 1919, however, the camp was closed and both the wooden huts built for the RN Division and the camp's railway line were removed.
