whichever is your nearest dealer.. of course mine is stihl..

some guy was concerned that it was dripping out of my landy, it was snowing which made it worse, so just looked really bad, then he wanted all the chip dropping at the top of a carpark, glad i didnt have to go back the day after as it was certain to have 'blue runs' down the snowy carpark..

great for pizza ovens when cooking a tray of pork..mmm

I was going to have a bash at skydiving, better hurry up or there will be a coronet or two near every landing..

The end of sleepy hollow?

very lifelike, not that i've seen many skatergirls recently.. nice work

John with the short rope, wondering if he should have used a stopperknot..

pigment 'aesculin' apparently..

you think thats bad? apparently a hot chick walked past when i wasn't looking, gutted..

tractor doesnt look like it will lift that 1st log over trailer side, did you have to re-set the slings or did it swing into bull(log)bar?

graphite grease? must have been previous person who greased it as i'm on regular grease, only bought machine from orange plant (york) in december 2009, looks like i'll be removing all that grease now and set to worry about the damage already caused by graphite grease then..

funny how the one next to it looks taller, maybe thats up a banking?

wot nobody?

grr-woof! fell it:thumbup:

Huddersfield. West-Yorkshire, need a climber tomorrow, (friday 9th april) nothing awkward just a days deadwooding a few semi-mature trees (tiny bits), pm me or ring mobile 07747022678... obviously must have tickets to show, thanks Ed

sounds like a squeeze with molegrips time..

sounds like a job we did recently, supposed to be 4small trees, turned out to be 4 medium trees covered in ivy, took 5 of us all day till after 5pm..what a joke

chap i keep bumping into runs local stove shop and swears by chip boilers, think we'll be talking prices next time i see him.. keep ya posted

just over the border in scotland, an old quarry im clearing for my dad. the swamp isnt that deep as it was part of last years landy bash, once the trees are cleared it will be drained and used as a quarry again, don't worry theres plenty more trees left up there:thumbup:

noticed the bottom feedroller was way over to the left and starting to gouge a circle in the housing, pulled a couple of bits off the machine to investigate and found some polyprop rope/string round the rollershaft on rhs, removed it and refitted but the rollers were central until i greased the nipples then they jammed hard against the left hand side, levered them back a bit but they seem biased to the left now, ran machine to make sure its ready for tomorrow but they still seem to sit to the left a bit much, will it be ok to use?

oh the rope must have been in the last load of branches last week or we would have noticed it sooner.. thanks Ed.

haha

 

 

Love that old skool hiab truck mate, Some nice kit there

the foden was once a tractor unit, till my dad decided to shove a bogey under the rear, lengthen the chassis and pop a crane on, worked a treat for pulling logs out of the quarry:thumbup:

managed to tow old foden wagon out of the mud (its 3rd axle drive wasn't engaging) no probs, then had to bumpstart the tractor...all on road tyres(uphill) oh sorted some slightly worn bfg muds to put on soon..can't wait

mi lil sis Liam.. drunk me under the table on saturday as expected, and can drive a fordson major too..
