How much cash we talking? I've got a trailer size load of yew and laburnum, mixed sizes and dampnesses.

Annie toopee, I knew a girl called Teresa who married into the green family (really) and went to school with a lass called Emma royds!

Gave up on my Landy years ago and it just won't die
-
I went over there, loved it! Hired a motorhome (rv) for three weeks. Think it was about £330 per week, explored Yosemite and right up the coast to nearly Oregon. Bit sad seeing all the huge tree stumps everywhere, but there's lots of trees too.

Don't you mean 'shouldn't' fit much timber in the back of a 90?

I hate the stuff but it has it's purposes, client of mine wanted a birdsmouth knee rail installing today, 15posts set in all level and lovely, job completed in 5hours with postfix. Most fences we do get the full concreted in treatment, with at least two nights to set before the panels/rails go near it.

You been looking in my toybox swinny? Haha. It's a good saw, can't fault it.

While we are on the subject.. Mine clunks as I walk towards it, as I open the door, then again when I close it, then again as I slam it. :lol:Anyone got a pair of hens teeth, I mean underpriced solid defender doors?

Just this week I've installed 19m of fence after ripping out a privet hedge. Roots were handled in half an hour using a minidigger (I'm a big fan of my new toy with back saving hydraulics!) Anyone know how to upload pics from an iPhone? Laptop is other side of the room and I'd have to wait for it to upload:thumbup1:

Nah mate, I was driving my old cab-less mini digger at the time, I'm lightly toasted now -

My i4s did that today too, left it on dash for an hour and it told me it wanted to chill -
Sounds like earth to me too, all my lamps now are earthed direct back to the battery rather than just hoping the body/chassis will carry current. The 110 is also wearing trailer lamps on the back as they are easier to maintain, cheaper to replace when smashed and dont have pyromaniac tendencies like the crappy wipac ones!

Careful Pete! Take your motor into Andys workshop and it'll come out stretched with a tipper body on the back!

Have you ever had a chimmney fire
armchairarborist replied to predator's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Burned unseasoned hardwood for years without mishap, then lit fire with some well seasoned scotspine (found some undercover behind my shed) within two minutes I could hear it roaring, then the back door slammed and I could feel all the air being sucked out of the house up the chimney. Wandered across the road to have a look at the chimney, and there contrasting nicely against the night sky was 8ft of blue flame rocketing out of the pot with lots of pretty sparks. I got a metal bucket and loaded the burning logs in, took them out to the patio. Within a few mins all the flames were out, got the chimney swept and it's been fine ever since. -
Another two leylandii's to kill, in the rain, just love killing leylandii's in the rain! Had enough practice!

Usual mud colour covered in sawdust ..because it sticks

Answered your own question right there, they hold their money too well ..if you don't own one

My ifor has the detachable legs at the rear, the few times I have used them they have been brill, a 2.8t mini digger for example which would have had the Landy waggling its back wheels. Most of the time they sit in the under body box.

Had a Stihl TS-- stone cutting jobby to get running, newish machine but wouldn't start, never seen a filter so blocked before (apart from when I sank the Landy at Driffield!) just a solid mass of stone dust stopping the airflow. Also the front guard had clogged with packed iron filings and stone dust mixed so fitting a new disk was impossible without chiselling it all off, clean fuel and away she went:thumbup1:

Hi I can supply bags of hardwood briquettes delivered or you can collect up to 50 at a time, pm me for details. Thanks. Ed
-
I use one of these (slightly bigger, ride on) for extracting logs/rings from awkward places, shunting heavy trailers around the yard, lifting dumpy bags of firewood into Landy and most importantly ...somewhere to sit and eat food on!

Landrover Lads - 235/75/16 on a defender?
armchairarborist replied to Sam Thompson's topic in Arb-Trucks
Yes they will fit, however they are a lower profile tyre so your Landy will sit lower. Great for cornering ..not great for your underbelly, diffs, steering bars and fuel tank when off the road!
