    My own personal. All jobs are to clear and leave site tidy. Not hauling for anyone
  2. swinny
    These trucks are all well and good but how are you supposed to do trees on agri land that are through umpteen fields to get to the works / base of tree or any produce out? My main use of a tractor is felling large buggered trees in places that only a tractor can go. On agricultural pasture, felling and harvesting said timber thay then goes to biomass only. Can't do my agricultural works without a tractor. And if the suggestion is to get a wagon to take tractor to site 10 miles away to do the works and then back, no chance. Hard enough trying to keep going in this game then add more expense on to jobs that you won't get.... If these last 2 years have taught me anything.... business of all sizes are tightening belts and penny pinching right from the top to the bottom

    I wish we could all come together to talk about this sensibly rather then tit for tat.... as alwaysnits non tractor users vs tractor users. Not constructive at all
  4. swinny
    Exactly it's blatant admission

    So are you just saying to run white in tractors and crack on?

    I don't need speed etc just something capable.... my main motor is a Renault master tipper 125hp or a 141hp Ford ranger.... Like the truck, think the rangers a bit soft for Towing.... Just want another tipper to carry a load and tow as the ranger can only tow as such a small back being double cab truck....
  9. swinny
    That's fair game.... I'm only usually on national speed limits anyhow and not much on the motorway thank fully.... especially not when they go to smart motor ways and fine us for over loading lol 😆 Just wanted to make sure with a nox of chip and 2t trailer it was semi respectable O ly considering this as need another tipper to run along side main one.... there's some crap out there. Mainly old crusty transits.... some landys are good value in comparison
  10. swinny
    What is a 300tdi landrover defender like for Towing Inc a heavy chipper behind with a box of chip? Is owt that can be done to give more grunt? Or just give it a miss? Thanks

    But how or what do I need to put into my new clock for it to calibrate the reading?
  12. swinny
    Right, the wires already there from the old clock so that's OK, I just need to calibrate it to read correctly the rpm of the engine... I remember years ago using a timing lightning my college days back in 2006/7 ish, never used one since lol. Can't even remember what's what.... something else I'll have to buy then I suppose 🤔 And I always thought they were for dizzy cap timing? Infact the wire feed is that red one on the w post that feeds the clock to give the rpm
  13. swinny
    Sounds reasonable.... you did keep the old timberwolf as a back up for a good while. I'm lucky I have a few chippers if any give me issues I can always get by
  14. swinny
    Does this help at all? 4 connections on it.... as we look at the pic there is 12v feed at 8pm.... another connection at 10pm.... w post at 12pm and another little one at about 4pm
  15. swinny
    Whet! When did you buy a pencil sharpener Mick? 😀
  16. swinny
    I'd wire wheel the rust with a grinder.... the use some rust remedy maybe then prime and paint.... or rather than rust remedy and your confident you got the rust out, some etching primer
  17. swinny
    Ahh, Just had a look, can get both.... I need some soon and will go for the paint in a tin enamel. Can get a good finish with a roller I tell you As said its all about the prep
  18. swinny
    This genuine spray, is it rattle can stuff? Decent paint or crap?
  19. swinny
    Happy days! What sort of age is it please? And if you don't mind, what sort of brass (pm that if you want) always looking to see what i would get next after my 90! Was it a private sale? Anyhow great news for you!
  20. swinny
    Bang on there! That's usually me.... though we usually work up to 20th then January is a crap month so I don't care for work. Taking some staff on the books this time round so things will be a bit different.... see how it goes I'll get used to it
  21. swinny
    Them old 252's have some balls when needed and I've run an old nail for the last 7 years or so. Paid for itself many times over! Just can't get passed the trying to find something reasonable to replace it point.....
  22. swinny
    Just get a vermeer sc60tx and just drive through the bloody fence to get in 😎 have done with it 😀
  23. swinny
    ANd might say something along the lines of : " you want to track me? get your fat lardy arse up there instead! " lol
  24. swinny
    I think that would be a good thread in all fairness if everyone behaved etc. Names or manufacturers needn't come into it. Just the situation at the time both mentally and the machine as it was (whatever it may be)
  25. swinny
    I think that forst cut you deep my friend lol 😆 My condolence 🙏 😄
