Spray TFR on it, then drive to the £5 handjob place, let them have all the woodchip and sawdust and mud.

I'd recommend one anyday, it puts up with all the abuse we can throw at it, economical is a plus but didn't buy it for that haha. And with the right modifications is very versatile, just need to add more sandwich lockers, and some saddlebags for when the truck gets full of chip. Oh and change the weedy bent bit of soft tin for a real hitch!

It's usually caused by greasing the rollers when it's stationary, run the rollers and grease when warm, couple of pumps and get rollers running again, mine had some string wrapped round the right hand bearing for a few mins which hasn't helped

What time would you start work on a sunday morning?
armchairarborist replied to swinny's topic in General chat
starting at 9am tomorrow, i'd think nothing of starting waay earlier than that though, sod everyone else if i have to be up. maybe i'm just bitter from years of my sleep being disturbed -
the last few seconds are funny:lol:

i'd have thrown it back at him:lol:, foul things full of gristle and holes, ...ear holes, eye holes and rs holes.

460 fills that gap nicely, don't forget that race we had haha

go get a new saw, but never let him forget about damaging that one, show him/them the receipt for the new saw and ask them how long they think they will have a job for if that keeps happening. gentle ribbing about it up to say 30 times a day should do the trick.

thats a deadwood habitat stump, plus its full of old electric wires for carpark floodlights and other metalwork, let it rot:thumbup1:

crack doing what it does and a h/c falling to bits:thumbup1:

both look way too weedy to even slow the scum down, you want big heavy looking metal, huge chains and expensive padlocks, i saw a nice wheelclamp at orangeplant 6mths ago that was decent size box section filled with concrete and other nasties:thumbup1:

we tried to bury the husky with him but he went and dug it out before we had chance to put the big logs ontop:thumbup:
-
heres a clue..
-
any ideas who it is yet?
-
whats that? a radio?
-
don't think there's any spare room in the arches, any taller or wider and they will be catching, you could fit different runningboards and fit any size tyre you wanted though:thumbup1:
-
sounds like you need a landy tipper and keep the trailer chip box as well for them jobs where you get loads of chip coming away, best of both worlds. economy for the small jobs and good carrying capacity for the bigger ones.

got to pick the truck up in a minute, its over a mile away, good job the wind is going that way, might take the skateboard ..no wait there's no brakes on that!
-
burns pretty good too, do everyone a favour and just add that section to the log pile:thumbup:
-
thanks for getting rid of that filth for me andy, what should i do with the other 5ish tons i have taking up room in the yard?

lost my truck key again the other morning, after wandering the yard and raking the puddles i found it safe in the ignition ..phew:lol: -
did one recently, £500ish to fell a poplar and £300ish to split it all. customer now has about 9cubic metres of split hardwood, if they get it stacked sharpish with a roof ontop they will have enough firewood for a couple of winters. that was approx 7hrs splitting
-
:thumbup:which is which?
-
maybe i need to sexy up my logpile a bit? sales are a bit slow this winter

thats horrible, we were working roadside today, one car shot through the coned area and nearly hit one of the lads, another stopped for us when signalled, next thing he just floored it through whipping the branch that was being cut up, then a police car shot past with just the lights going (no siren) really fast with no warning. keep safe out there guys
