  1. at the top right of the screen change the order to price highest first filters it best i think
  2. 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
  3. bottom of here Riko UK :: Timber & forestry grabs for loaders
  4. 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
  5. 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

    wellies

    seeing as its getting cold and muddy out i think its about time to get some wellies. i am interested in the neoprene lined ones as these seem warmest but wandering which to go for i have seen the reviews of aigle and chameaus but am wondering what the musto ones are like as there significantly cheaper and of very similiar desighn and the new style hunters with the neoprene in them
  8. I recently took a job,but due to family circumstances had to leave after just one week the position came with accommodation, albeit very low standards, so for the past couple of weeks i have tried to contact them about being paid for the work i did . eventually they replied with a list of fictitious charges deducted from the wage so that i get £25 pounds for a weeks work that cost me over one hundred pounds to travel to and for the weeks shopping which i wouldn't have bought otherwise. i never sighned a contract and all i was informed was i would be paid every friday in cash. this didn't happen so had i not been lent money by my parents i would have been out of food. it is to far away to travel to and i was wondering if there is anything i can do.
  9. the container it comes in is no good it has to be in that container in something else to provide a bunding and for security if its in a locked vehicle or storage unit then a cool box will do as there air tight and cheap i havn't bothered with noroso and won't unless i start spraying large quantities and you cannot store chemicals in the sprayer unless the sprayer is in a bunded container but chemicals such as roundup may aswell be disposed of as they loose effectiveness if stored mixed overnight

  11. i had the problem by the little toe and its not material mine wore a whole in the bottom corner of the tongue ifu take the laces off u can dig the crap out
  12. i am a resident at college and they don't look much different to some of the meals we get although our portions wouldn't fit on that tray, i find it fine some of the more fussy eaters complain but i think its great that we get three cooked meals a day without fail, the lunchtime meals are alot better than eavning meals and the breakfast baccon leaves a little to be desirred but it dosn't taste bad and keeps us going

    which l200

    i am looking for a pickup and been reading what has been said and can find plenty of info on most i have heard plenty of horror storries of the post 02 l200 engines and the woes they can bring but was wondering what the earlier ones are like not the real boxy ones but the 96-02 ones and whether they have the same reliabilty issues or can they compete with a hilux of the same era
  14. they were the original fasttraks but apparently there the most awefull things to drive and like doing wheelies at inappropriate and dangerous times
  15. i've had to do this before and did some of the things my dislexic brother was taught first of all have what u want to wright typed and spell checked infront of you and secondly practice for a bit without the writting joined up and possibly even leave certain letters unjoined in the letter for example i can't join c@s's up wihout my hand writting looking like an ancient scribe
  16. don't get the problem with not fitting towbars half the country can't tow a trailer some through lack of license some just lack of ability but i always just slung a rope through the pto hole any tow hook would mean even worse ground clearance and i got stuck on the rear cross member often enough
  17. if its southern france i believe there are quite strict rules governing the price of wood and how much can be harvested if its going for firewood i believe its set by the local mayor or council
  18. there seem to be 2 very suitable defender replacements but there made by iveco
  19. what about something like this Massey Ferguson 660 ? Used Massey Ferguson 660
  20. Redirect Notice this is the creature your looking for however you are more likely to spot the boar holes it produces these are around the size of a £1 coin and can reach over half a meter into the tree there is a warning on forestry commisions and defras websites

    Boots ... again

    i have used the search function and can't find anything about the stihl advanced gtx boots also everyone else seems to be looking for boots that give you lots of movement and feel like trainers where as i want a really stiff high boot to give lots off ankle protection
  22. i'm in need of a new pair of boots shortly and was wondering what to go for i currently have protector pro's which are great i love how tall and suporrtive they are however they seem to be badly shapped for my feet and was wondering what else is available that will offer the stiffness and ankle support of them i was considering the husky technical s and the STIHL ADVANCE GTX Chainsaw Boots on honey brothers.or what about the new scaffells the only things required is they must be 100% waterproof not likely to start leaking soon as i have to work in some fairly boogy conditions sometimes and they may need to come in a size 13 or 14 depending on how the sizing goes
  23. try agriaffaires and change ur location to were u want to search
  24. atkinson vos have one for sale
  25. all the dogs were i work are like this none of them get hurt all the farm dogs are the same and my old labs but they ave all been trained to steer clear of machinery and only return when called
