  1. ragwort produces blisters and swelling ime and only when it gets into cuts and scratches unbroken skin seems unaffected the grounds maintanence people will only be payed to be on site for x amount of hours a week not by the job and will do what the head asks for first i cant see landscaping chip being treated with anything that would cause reaction afterall contractors will have to handle it themselves and surely the maintanence teams will carry nothing more toxic than round up to spray could the rash be the result of wild animals nearby carrying mights and so on in there coats or i even come out in a rash due to the dust in a very long haired dogs coat
  2. why not just get a different brand of smart phone as the rest have gorrilla glass fitted and imo the android is easily as good as the i phone apple are getting lazy and falling behind competitors
  3. stobarts have blamed slough closing on offering as little as £1 a ton round here now also some of these people will only purchase if you sighn a contract to give them all your chip which could have its bad points and they will charge you for reject loads so the chip has to be very clean with no sweepings or stones in it
  4. there are youngsters that would love to do it i myself am 20 and would love to be out in the woods cutting and working but i cannot afford to do it i would be paying out for the pleasure of working. couple this with having a bad back already partly from hurting it when younger and partly from being a tall lad expected to do unrealistic tasks from a young age im on the floor by lunch time and when i can earn the same money sitting in an air conditioned cab why bother yes my back still hurts but i couldnt bear sitting in an office but atleast i take a bit of money home with me and am not mugged off by flash executives in 4x4s telling us what to do who dont have a clue
  5. maybe u could cut the bottoms of and send them to me i have the opposite problem and they dont reach me ankles

  8. dont know about there trailers but there other kit is superbly built very heavy duty
  9. id second looking at axminster powertools they have allsorts on there and seem well built
  10. cheers the arborwear stuff looks the mutts
  11. do you know of any quality makes then cheers but these are just general work trousers i want anything from jeans to cargo trousers i wear strauss saw trousers so am fine for that which makes me wonder what are the strauss trousers like
  12. i'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for general work trousers that will last but not cost a fortune i'm 6' 4 so need them reasonably long but dont want to spend stupid amounts as theyll get trashed eventually
  13. massey do a forestry specicific tractor which must come pretty close compact cab all the bonnet and wheel arches are metal gaurding and i think toughened glass gaurded radiator bigger tanks etc but cant remember where to find it on there website
  14. what make? think with most makes you would struggle as there not really proper seats in the back the extra space is of little use as anything other than tool storage. i regularly have people in the back of mine but they all hate it and say its got no room and is incredibly uncomfortable. thats in a ford ranger
  15. get the 1.9 they go like stink
  16. phone up nptc and give them your candidate number which should be on the little cards and may i ask why are they out of your site whenever ive had to hand in certificates to companys they have photocopied them infront of me
  17. lifes a b**ch and then you die and from someone n here i think 'give the hardest job to the lazieest man as he will find the easiest way to do it '

  19. just lay a a log about 4 inches in diameter on the floor cut half way through with saw and turn saw off in cut supports saw well and if you kneel with one knee either side of the engine it works very well and is cheap
  20. at the top right of the screen change the order to price highest first filters it best i think
  21. i've used one briefly thats y i suggested and it was good the beak comes allthe way down until flat against the backplate of the forks so any size timber can be held secure and can be used in reverse for pushing things off the tines gently rather than dropping them
  22. bottom of here Riko UK :: Timber & forestry grabs for loaders
  23. the work done would have to be to either run a wire down the boom to an electronic spool valve to switch between rotation and grabbing so that an extra switch on the joystick changes what function is activated when the third service button is pressed or there can be a spool valve installed opperated from inside the cab and more pipes put down the boom and what i meant with the fork idea is that instead of the bottom tines on the allbut being used the forks are used and a single thumb is used to hold the logs in place rather than them unballencing i think reco sell them
  24. a teleporter will most likely require modification to take a 360 degree grapple as they usually only have one service down the boom instead of a purpose built grab what about a single thumb to go on the existing pallettines so then u dont have to change attatchments when u need the tines

    wellies

    from what i've read the muckboots style seem to heavy and clumsy and don't last as long and i think most the wellies come in 14 just at a premium i am leaning towards the hunters but still wondering if anyones tried the mustos
