  1. I'd love to help out but only have a size 10 completely shagged pair of Haix. (i had to wear a plastic bag over one of my feet for a month)
  2. On Friday those who made the effort of getting to the yard got sent home on full pay. Officially we were on emergency call out, but never got any calls.
  3. I think this is would be a better comparison against the 192t or 25cc husky top handles.
  4. Steve here's a video of it, seems pickup and chain speed is good. [ame] [/ame] Also vs a petrol husky - it seems quicker! [ame] [/ame]
  5. Haha they're great little things!!
  6. Yes good point - i suppose it all comes down to how busy you are. If you have a few months booked up then yeh, bosh it out in a day, move on to the next....
  7. So if it's £8k then that's 8 days for a team of four, but you get to keep all the money, rather than half going to road closure/crane etc... Do you recon it's do-able in 8 days?
  8. I've been working on a prototype recently to go in direct competition with the chipper mentioned in this thread... The Bodginator® 3000 10" Chipper Old wooden Mangle for brash infeed Stainless steel Butter knives Selotaped to bin lid flywheel 0.000002bhp Hamster driven Kubota engine, Latest in green technology Based on EarlyLearningCentre ride on tractor chassis. Very lightweight. Less than 750kg so no need for towing licence
  9. I cannot believe someone has the audacity to try and sell these pieces of sh..... I take it there wasn't a demo machine there? I'd love to see it attempt an 8" log !
  10. Somehow got to work, did 30 mins logs in the dry, then told to go home and be on stand by for any Western Power emergency call outs. Happy days This is the road to my house, must be 5/6inches and upto 12 in the drifts!
  11. 2 inches already Jon
  12. Hold your horses! Steve's bringing out an arbtalk version very soon. Arbtalk will be taken off tapatalk.
  13. There are some really glamorous jobs on this page!
  14. chortle
  15. Not this 'Big Al' then?
  16. As you said, shame it couldn't be left as a nice pollard - it would of stood for longer than any of us.
  17. No Jon, you don't know what you're on about! What floods? Can you take me to work tomorrow in the tractor mate?
  18. Commute to work in the morning should be fun. Heavy snow forecast somerset from 4am til lunchtime! I thought we got away with it....
  19. imagine if everyone tried getting on the chat room! the whole internet would blow up
  20. Sweeeet! Well deserved
  21. Um, in English?
  22. Jon i have a 550xpg on a 15" bar, i'll bring it when we meet up so you can have a go.
  23. Waveney tree specialists hire out their mewps. They are based 10 minutes from harleston. I worked for them until recently, good bunch of lads. Give them a call mate. Sent from my GT-S5839i using Tapatalk 2
  24. Hi Jon - It's snowing loads back home, but here in somerset it's been lovely and sunny! I don't want the snow, the road i live down is bad enough in the dry!
  25. Don't use silicone. The industry standard caravan and motorhome sealant is Sikaflex. Your local caravan/motorhome dealer will have some or know where to get it.
