  1. could it be done with my 110hcpu? sod the next owner, i want it to tip n look the same, or do i? maybe building a bespoke backbody i could incorporate tool lockers underneath. can't decide..Ed
  2. husky make blowers? never seen one, the bg86 is good though.
  3. :001_smile:some of them longer ones are pushing 10-13cm, i've not seen them that long before, what a way to treat firewood, the amount of powdery white spores coming off them was amazing when knocked
  4. could be mould.. seems to like leylandii bark though, would the xylaria be as long as they are because they are searching for light? do fb's search for light?
  5. few i found and can't id, there's the obvious ones and some i've not seen before, check out the seethru one hiding in the last pic, its a store i havn't emtied for 3yrs, finally ran out of seasoned wood in usual stores and fallen back onto these, the store is damp underneath and the pallets had rotted through..Ed
  6. remind me to sound sympathetic when its stickin out ya hand..
  7. my reply said 'viewings possible, but away 3wks at a time,' had asked him if he sold any other tree equipment also? he answered what sort was i looking for? sounds like he might sell kit too..
  8. new silky = blood.
  9. any piece of wood thats round, about an inch diameter if i can't find the current file,
  10. yeah saw it fly over us today at work..
  11. found my missing bolt today.. sticking out of the ifor williams tyre, hopefully tyre fixer dude will give it me back as its needed and sorely (very) missed.
  12. looks like its already been named 'poo' haha, dunno sorry..
  13. try n have a talk with both neighbors if they havn't already done so, we did one last week that was 40/60, we cut it down for the 60%owner and couldnt (tried 5times) get anyone in at 40%house, got a call next day from a very upset lady, 'where are the birds going to go now?' might have got a planting job off her as well haha
  14. just found a hole in bottom of me fave pan, looks like im in the market for a new un, must av used too much meths last time.. seeing that food makes me realise how hungry i am..Ed
  15. nipped up to scotland while the snow was on, didnt blink at 2ft of the white stuff round the quiet side of the loch, minus 18c,
  16. no but you can spend on them.. after 5yrs of totally pain free driving and regular servicing the wifes 300tdi disco went nuts and so far this year its had all new back brakes, new clutch and its in now for headgasket, mechanic just rang to say the heads cracked and warped so needs new one as well as rad and thermostat, might be about £900 noooo. not happy but i know it'll last another 10 years+
  17. stopped driving japjunk years ago after welding patches onto patches on the chassis, then finding it still flexed too much with half loads, and no a new chassis isnt even an option cos they dont make em? been looking at tractors recently, decided when the time comes it'll definately have a cab crane like yours, Ed
  18. wow you were either a long way up or thats a bunch of tiny people..Ed
  19. haha reminds me of overloading the landy (on private land of course) then backing down the very steep driveway..front wheels in the air as the load shifted, think it might have tipped if towbar hadnt been there..Ed
  20. nice set up, what weight will the cab crane lift?
  21. that told me:blushing: im not jealous at all grr, my road type avon's keep embarrassing me offroad when towing, fancy some bfg's again but these treads won't wear out fast enough, nice snowplough..Ed
  22. always get mine reconditioned, i know this doesnt help as yr not local to me but its usually about £40 round here, takes about 2days, but sometimes cleaning all the clutch dust out of them and cleaning up the terminals helps shortterm, check with a multimeter to see if its drawing too much current..Ed
  23. trust me to get a bad un, any way of turning the oil up more than the adjuster screw underneath?
  24. is there a problem with the chain oiler on these? the first bar on it kept going tight on nosewheel, finally got mad n bought a new bar, that has nipped up twice in last week too, only a few weeks old (bar i mean).? oh its 25inch..Ed
  25. maybe a rat trap?
