Sounds good to me, Ill drink to that

Not that easily offended mate, so don't worry. I'm married to an English woman and she gets on fine. We have a peculiar sense of humour over here, once you get your head around it, most people are fine.

 

It's taken a long time, and the healing has been a long and rocky road on both sides but huge progress has been made. Barring the few die-hards (who funnily enough aren't dying so hard anymore). The only "Brits" who don't get on over here are the ones who aren't sensitive to the hurt that is still a bit raw in some families. Not saying you need to walk on egg-shells or anything like that, just save the "1 world cup and 2 world wars" football chants etc. You should come over for a visit, you'll find us some of the warmest most welcoming people on the planet, especially if you can handle your drink without getting obnoxious, and get a round in

I hope I did,nt offend you gareth but a english accent would'nt go down so well with a lot of folk in your area.

My biggest fear working in N Ireland would,nt be cutting myself with a 020 or a silky, it would be dodging bullets.

I have heard that a firm called homegrown timber are looking for folk

Can I just ask which utility company you are?

Both landys have the inner helpers and the 110 is the heavy duty 3500kg, only difference is the anti-roll bar, and the wheel base.

Sorry, what is AB?

I,ve just bought a high cap defender 110 and fitted a chip box on it. Once loaded it feels extremely top heavy. I already have a defender 130 with a chip box on and it feels totaly different (not as much roll when loaded). The only thing I can notice what can make the difference is the 130 has got a much thicker bright orange anti-roll bar on it. Would this make that much defference and if so where can I buy one from because I,ve looked every where and can't seem to find anyone who sells them.

Last year I went to Selby Game fair, there was a chap there called Mark Bell who had done some realy impressive carvings. One that realy stood out was a crocodile and it must have been 10ft long.

There made to fit for LR defender only.

Sorry to hear mate, I,m working in the South this week so I,ll keep my eyes peeled. I know its a bit late but I,ve had defenders for years now and after having three of mine stolen I,ve found one of the best things to keep old of the truck is a foot plate lock that covers all the the pedals in is extremely difficult and time consuming to get off. Made by a company called adrenalin 4x4. Hope you get her back.

I,ve been in the industry ten years this year. I had to resort to utilitys last april due to the current economical climate. Not a very pretty site, but we always do our best to maintain good working practice.

Peter Lord who is based at Grantham has one of the largest machines in the country and one of the best driver you'l ever see. He,ll have it shifted in a day if you can keep up with removing the wood chip.

Thanks, tightened the belts and it works as good as new.

Thanks for the info lads, I,ll have a go at getting it done once I,ve got christmas out of the way.

Has any one got any idea on what could be wrong with my timberwolf 190? I cant get the antistress working. Had a similer problem a few years ago with a tw150 and it was the sensor on the engine. I,ve had the tw190 in bits but cant see any stress sensor and cant figure out what it could be.
