  1. cut off as much as you can then fetch as much dry softwood, that pile of leylandii in the yard is perfect and burn the rest of the stump, i'll put up some pics nextweek of a few poplar stumps im burning out at the mo.
  2. oh go on then pat. suppose i could find a couple:thumbup1:. the last one is the hedge i hurled the hs81 out of in anger:lol:
  3. :001_smile:heard one on tuesday, that was sw scotland.
  4. here's one that was knocked up to move a couple of 20' containers a distance on farm tracks. you should be able to make it out through the grass:001_smile:
  5. Nice one Steve, let me know if you need any more wood for turning. I think one of them knobs would make a cool replacement gearknob in the landy, some tit keeps unscrewing mine!
  6. Looks like it, I found one two years ago, nice find
  7. camp out with paintball guns, or better yet ..an invoice
  8. my last disco sheared the pin that comes out of the steering box, minutes after doing motorway speeds for an hour! that was an original steering box leaving the vehicle with no steering at all. the scary bit was when the recovery guy said it wasn't the first he had seen like that!
  9. What's them marks on the bonnet? Landy tyre tracks?
  10. Fraxinus anomala - single leaved ash, mostly seen as a planted tree in towns.
  11. you just need a backpack blower now to blow all that sawdust under the neighbours hedge:biggrin:
  12. I put a set of 265 75 16 bfg mud km2 on my 110hcpu tipper 6mth ago, they cost £640 and i can still get stuck in two inch of mud! but i get a bit further into the mud than with the lesser tyres. Why don't landies come with a factory option of axle diff locks and driven trailer bases?
  13. I buy them in with round tops, the supplier uses a jigsaw 3-4 at a time and better than I could do them. They do charge about 20p extra per paling but its worth it.
  14. 1. starter packed up on the 110, simple enough job to take off and get it overhauled when i get a minute. 2. my mates 300tdi disco started rattling lastweek, turns out the timing belt idler pulley had bearing issues, lucky the belt didnt slip/break! 3. the series one landy started dripping water, had a quick peek to find cracked block! having a good week this week:scared1:
  15. red emergency stop button isnt pushed in is it? if so just pull it out, seen plenty people confused by that one:thumbup1:
  16. Check them for nesting birds, when you are happy fell them
  17. roughly cut one up for a customer two weeks ago, he was well impressed.
  18. Hahahahaha .....hahaha:lol:
  19. Just ordered the courier, should be with you sometime wednesday:thumbup1:
  20. there was three pops just the other side of a drystone wall, the roots had sneaked in at either end of the pipe and not at connecting joints in the middle, broken section of pipe uphill with perforated pipe was also full of roots (mangled with the digger). i'm thinking of reinstating the whole lot with stone land drain as it will last years and nicely get rid of the surplus wall stone.
  21. poplar roots in a drain today:thumbup1: ([ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts8_z9XQCxM&list=UUuCXBpVC8zFHwJWIyhGhcng&index=1]Tree roots in drain - YouTube[/ame])
  22. Didn't see a post in an allotment yesterday, smashed my landrovers headlamp, snapped the post, poor garden tap will never be the same again:lol:
