    question

    thought builders were 0.63 or something...
  17. Took it apart and gave it a good clean, its quite simple inside i thought.... it was full of crap though, nothing would slide nicely old grease dust and crud in there..... scraped it all off, cleaned it up and oiled it all up. Had to take it apart as the cable was buggered inside, still have enough workable length for now for the job swl 30ctw i think it says stamped on the side.
  18. Sorry but where is shuttleworth college? Cheers

  21. Excellent!! i'm to tight to pay for the pa1 and pa6 so don't do spraying i'm afraid, but i did look into it! think it was £400.00 Glad you've passed
  22. Evening all, I've a job to do to remove some conifers and some stumps, access is good. I plan to dig around the stumps and sever the roots, and have the pulling pressure applied via a winch to my truck.... I've been offered a couple of winches for not a lot of money and will do the job fine, but wondering which to go for.... one of them is a Yale hand winch..... one with a chain like a motorbike drive chain with a handle and ratchet system.... small and lightweight the other is a tirfur, its old, cable is fraid and will need replacing at some point, hope the guy has found the handle! big heavy winch.... I know that tirfur are good winches, is it better to go for this and replace the cable at some point? and can you get spares if needed for the tirfur winch? Cheers Chris
