Not worried at all. Ben burgess sells bits and mostlikely more now. Most things can be had from anywhere.... engines, bearings, belts etc. All teeth etc all from Ben burgess .

Wow can't believe you lot. In all my shooting and not done any for a long while and maybe not as much as some of you may have done. But. .... 177 all day long man! Bisley magnums pack a hell of a punch. Lot flatter trajectory. Can't believe people still mess about with 22.... or even .20 for that matter. I was always a single shot man. (But had some multis) Had allsorts aa s400, daystate air rangers, rapid 17, bb s10, logun sweet 16, falcon fn12 bloody all sorts! My personal favourite bsa hornet .177 with the mmc cooking system. Regulated rifle mint! Do some reading up mate, airgunbbs etc. .177 is where it's at out to 40 yards head shots no worries with practice

Not sure yet. Usually same old stuff for me to bother. When is it?
-
Good advertisement for you! All the best for the show 😀

What a shitter. Can't they just solder on as is? Or what about that plastic stuff that comes in sections with holes in and back filled with pebbles type job? Any driveway over that existing is asking for trouble.... A driveway that can flex breathe and drain is a must there for the tree and clients pocket

My safetrack has been fine in the last 300 plus hours I've clocked up and I've chipped a hell of a lot of stuff with it volume wise. No issues due to heat with machine or with the chip at all 😀

Is anyone else wondering what is going to be meddled with and awaiting an atrocious budget at the end of october? Is anyone taking more steps to pay less to the money wasting sods and had enough? What's your plan? Work less, work more? Blast all into pension? Blow the lot? Buy loads of equipment? It's a shame you nowadays have to think a lot more and harder about what you do with your money and have better planning going forwards (even if the government still can get their grotty fingers on it) As a main family bread winner it's concerning to try secure a good future It's tax planning not tax evasion

Always call into Moffat when passing to the butchers on main street for some slice sausage 😎

Bloody hell Ruben, your the southern version of me 😆 All the above the same. And even me getting sick of talking to folk, do you know any decent lads after work etc..... (and no doubt they sick of me too) I've tried colleges all sorts. Lots of space cadets out there on facebook etc... I've actually found someone recently to start soon but who knows!? I think it's all about time and luck. No science Good luck bud
-
Not a clue but all I ever hear is of the lads saying they are on good brass due to working at night.... they dont want to be day walker / day workers no more.... Vampires lol

**************** that for a game of soldiers ! Obviously different but I'm fortunate to o ly work within 20 miles of my Base. Usually 5-12 miles away most time. That's domestic arb though . Once of a day contract climbing I've been allover but even then maybe 60 miles away and 60 miles back and that wore thin after a while

Best place to buy whips, guards and stakes?

Can you get smaller quantities from these and do they send them out? -
Bloody hell fire! That last pic
-
That was my morning view for 2 weeks. Got back late Monday evening 😴 then rain and sunshine this week. No 34 degrees anymore
-
Yup the yank way

All the yanks use big wooden sleepers and place in front of themselves. Not sure what uk folk do

The 150 ran fine but stank. I hadn't fueled it up. Was up the tree using it and thought bloody hell this stinks. Waiting for saw to set alight thinking foul object burning. Did the tree, whipped covers off and checked and ran it and no chain oil where it shouldn't be etc. Opened fuel cap and looked like canal water 😅 Not sure who it was but fuel ditched and refilled and onto next tree 😀

You think ok or keep to 8 and 10 stud axles? Bigger brakes and all. Buggered if you want to shift a 20' container with that trailer above
-
Just wondering if anyone has run one of these 12t midi low loaders? This particular one has a 9t payload. I wanted something for a 5-8t digger. Only not necessary downfall I've seen is people say 6 stud axle brakes are shite.... I've always done ok but I don't tow massive loads 12t plus etc and my 6 stud trailers have done fine. One big down side I bet will be re sale value. Not many folk will be after one NEW TYRONE TRAILERS 12T Midi Low Loader Trailer WWW.EBAY.CO.UK NEW 12T MIDI LOW LOADER. Dump Trailers, Low Loader Trailers, Fuel Bowsers, Bale Trailers all available... Any info is great. Thanks

I've had this before and it's just hassle. Had time send back to an online supplier then they sent them off and was a 6-7 week turn around. Pita Always have a back up pair and when they're knackered get shut. Buy a new pair every year in Aug Sept before the bad weather so dry toes for winter 😀
-
I bet you've got L and R lettered socks too then 😆
-
Nah. Not to my knowledge. I use same funnel for filling chippers as I do stihl combi cans. Always a small bit of diesel sits in the funnel and goes in the combi can. No issues in 15 years.... A bit of chain oil in the fuel tank of a 150t climbing saw will make the bugger smoke though and smell bad! Been done by many a groundsman. Still no issues once fuel dumped and filled back up

Either all boots are shit now or all tree surgeons are shit kickers and can't pick up their feet when they walk? Lol 😆 Just waiting for my airstream to die before winter then have the what boots dilemma myself yay 🙃
