    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
  2. 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.
  3. 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

  6. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. there seem to be 2 very suitable defender replacements but there made by iveco
  12. what about something like this Massey Ferguson 660 ? Used Massey Ferguson 660

    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
  15. 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
  16. try agriaffaires and change ur location to were u want to search
  17. atkinson vos have one for sale
  18. 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
  19. dent

    yeah there good there type a but they seem very hard wearing far better down the fronts than hiflexs when i caught them on a sharp bit of metal that would have shreded my hi flexs i went base over apex and there was a hole no bigger than a 5p

  20. i have never had a problem with my hand climbing infact touch wood doing anything i never get blisters and my hands are actually quite soft i refuse to wear gloves until the point where my hands freeze or am dealing with brambles and have always been fine
  21. every piece of information i have ever found regarding this says its tractors not agri vehicles all though classed as the same thing for tax they are different by dvla standards the same as road rollers are different to construction machinery for some reason and have different driving rules as do "special vehicles" its the width and axle layout that affects the trailers aswell
  22. he can drive any tractor upto 2.45 meters wide he can only tow trailers that are single axle or double axle close coupled i.e. botex style suspension he can't drive agricultural vehicles i.e. telehandlers loading shovels foragers combines sprayers as they are not tractors until 17 then he can only drive them upto 3.5 ton at 18 its 7.5ton and at 21 its unlimited. the max weight of a tractor and trailer loaded in this country regardless is 24 ton and max road speed bar fasttraks and unimogs is 20mph that is regardless of age driving licence or tractor
  23. so you can have both i presume also the transfer box ones should have a neutral position if there like series motors
  24. build A spool valve in and stick the button down it works on a kindlet
  25. very solid apart from the table which if its an older model without support legs can be bent quite easily
