  1. Haha, i was the same at the start, didn't want to use it lol. Now everything gets thrown into action straight away to get your money's worth out of it Also i'm not a shiny gadget man either.... just to clear that up
  2. anything from 180 to 250 ish i would have thought
  3. I'm tight and don't like the initial outlay i know what you mean though, you've had 3 years out of the tyres then pay out for some good ones and they'll last you well
  4. yeah thats going to be pricey
  5. 1.2 euro or maybe even 1.1 euro to a pound isn't it now?? conversion when cashing in...
  6. ahhh, that clears that up then CHeers:thumbup:
  7. My 3.5t iveco has a train weight of 6 ton if it weights 2.5 ton, add a trailer at 500kg, then it can tow 3 ton or 2.5 ton + 750kg trailer = 3.25 ton can tow 2.75 ton Think thats ok
  8. i've gone down to subbing to one company... but theyre short of work, and say monday, then no tuesday, then no wednesday etc..... getting on my wick as i cannot plan for anything
  9. Hi there, i'm looking for some climbing/cutting/grounding work in lancashire or yorkshire. Subby basis I hold cs30-31-32-38-39-40-41-45, also have my cscs card. I have all my own equiptment, and sub out to a few companies around me. Anyone looking for a good man, ring me. 07545 863 516 Thanks Chris
  10. where is the majority of your work based??
  11. i've a whoopie sling, stein 2000. a 16mm pulley with a 16mm dead eye, a smaller pulley with slings etc and a old climbing rope at the moment.... not been putting big lumps on it though..... if i went 16mm i'd have to upgrade to a 19mm dead eye. i think 14mm may suffice but know 16mm would be the way forwards...... hmmmm
  12. I'm also in the same situation, looking for a new rigging rope... can't decide between the 14mm or the 16mm rope... the marlow and just run through pulleys not natural crotching..
  13. How much are they though lol??
  14. how much? its unbelieveable to up the price because they know you specifically want a 200t only and not many left.....
  15. Haha, i can listen to most music with no preference, but think that the music from the 80's and maybe 90's etc was very good compaired to todays standards..... seem's a lot more chilled and happier
  16. All dealers i've asked say they've none left..... try get a good one off ebay etc if you can....
  17. That was a great watch!! Thanks for that. I wish i could learn of some people like you as everyone i have worked with up to present would have just felled it and given the bill ... Cheers
  18. Is that you on holiday? or where you live? Says jon is somerset in your signiture
  19. you'd be better off filming and sending a video to you've been framed for 250-00 You'll have to let us all know how it gets on
  20. Iveco's are the way forwards but lets not talk about payload etc
  21. Its daft, the mentality of those that we price against sometimes!! Would love to see how the 150-00 job goes pop corn time
  22. They deffinetly do have a slight sticky throttle or something!! I've spent 3 days solid felling with a new one, rev's don't die down so quick....
