  1. I used to do that, up Scotland and all over. I once bought a van off ebay in Southampton, unseen. Figured it cheaper to fly down so me and my dad flew down 65 quid per person, met the guy at air port. Paid up and that Was that. Checked and topped up engine oil, bought some doughnuts from Morriston and filled it full of fuel and hit the motorway ๐Ÿ˜‚ Got back fine. Tbh I can't be arsed now.... seen a couple of chippers I'm interested in but they're all down Surrey and London ffs.... I'm not going down there this week to sneak a purchase in before end of tax year. Sod that
  2. It's not really in my work ethic to stand around and do **************** all.... couldn't lower myself to that level. I'd crack up
  3. Exactly. Cut the bugger off with angle grinder to make easier to remove. Throw in scrap and buy a new one
  4. Always good to service first and think the guy will. Problem with bigger chippers is the throw force.... can't half make some mess. With my current bandit, chip bounces off headboard when empty then bounces off chip and out when filling ๐Ÿ˜‚
  5. Always the same! You have to be able to drop everything and go look asap. I spotted a fresh chipper on ebay I was going to buy back end of this week just gone. Rang and was sold! Gutted too Anyhow you were doing better than me as I couldn't afford that jensen ๐Ÿ˜‚
  6. They look OK but not sure on size of Infeed feed roller inlet etc. Considering they're no longer made I'd rather have a bandit esp with the cylinder lift and crush. Always get parts for the bandits, can be a bit slow and expensive parts but last a long while
  7. Bloody spoiler ๐Ÿ˜‚ not been on YouTube yet
  8. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm a Yorkshire man.... half it and a cock less you'd be right
  9. C&c equipment also good if you like bulldozers etc and repairs. They show you the auctions they go to also ๐Ÿ‘ God knows how someone knows what their bidding over in USA with the auctioneer talking so fast!
  10. I'm too poor to be able to watch it live.... I'll check YouTube tomorrow I don't follow it but am interested
  11. Good is snowball ๐Ÿ‘
  12. Jumped in my tractor the other day and yet again the bastards have nicked diesel. Fuel light on.... took 40-45 ltr to turn light off so estimate maybe 80-100 ltr gone that time.... and maybe 8 weeks ago poss 50ltr gone that time. Wondering weather to get a metal cage made got around my tank, solid metal with a access lockable hinge lid to get to fuel cap. If you put a lockable cap on the tossers will trill the tank. I'm considering some of the night life / nature cameras? Find out for sure who it is... pretty sure we know who though as has been coming and going for years Owt else I can try? Farmers using me as a scape goat and won't let me park tractor down near his where cctv is.... they drain his digger and my tractor but doesn't touch his tractors due to being in front of cctv I've never contacted the police on any occasion but was miffed the other day when so much went. The odd 25ltr drum now and again not to bad but takes the mick now
  13. 0 % finance at the moment arnt they?
  14. Weathers been shite since Xmas. Such a crap start to the year in fairness. Wetter than an otters pocket
  15. Endless reasons for a dc 4x4..... Where I live in winter and where yards is I wouldn't be able to access it. What about site jobs where we go with the dc 4x4 and 3 lads towing tracked chipper? Surely it's just new vehicles registered from a certain date?
