  1. What a shit hole!
  2. No, but after living on New Age traveller sites for many years and trying to fix my Bedford’s on a daily basis I would look in wonder at the 811 owners returning from yet another European jaunt in their trucks that never missed a beat
  3. An 811 will go to Pluto and back if you keep on top of the oil changes, simple to work on, no freaky electrical shizzle

    Value wise it’s much better than Checkatrade (which I’m also on)

    I’ve had about £5000 of work from bark, cost me about £60 to make contacts, there are a lot of time wasters on there but 70% worth following up. It’s worked for me anyway.
  6. I’ve worn them on some big retrenchment s, figure if your putting 25” cuts in the main stems a few spike marks are the least of the trees problems!
  7. That’s a beauty! It’s mind boggling how trees can support a lateral like that, the leverage must be huge
  8. It will, I’ve had two go on different saws, same symptoms on both
  9. Fuel solenoid, mine did that, common fault, £18 part
  10. I think for off grid living they are gonna be excellent, but as you say if on the mains anyway it’s probably never gonna pay for itself.( before it becomes worn out)
  11. Probably looking at face book on his phone at same time as most of the ag contractors ( or cut price plant haulage for the construction trade) seem to.
  12. Yes, we would be running off solar with inverter, with 10k genny for workshop/ high consumption use (tumble drier etc). Would like to think with an average of 1 hr per day with generator and solar would be enough for 24 hrs of low 240 consumption. I’d also hope to get more than two years out of a battery at 3/4000 it could get expensive!
  13. Have you tried this new app called Grindr?
  14. NR will tear him a new one. With no lube.
  15. That looks really expensive! There’s a lot to be said for professional haulage company’s moving machinery/plant about! We all go on about shoddy cut price tree work with poor standards, this is pretty much the same thing,
  16. Eh? Your a helmet.
  17. That climber looks proper sinister!
  18. Looks good, we might be moving our cabin on to our land which has no mains electricity ( quote from western power was eye watering!), can it be a stand alone power unit with Just panels and no mains?
  19. Jesus Christ, that’s what skimming through does for ya! Assumed it was about arb show! Twat. So yes I’ll be there!
  20. Was hoping to go but life’s got in the way! Work and my 9 yr olds football cup final. You going to apf?
  21. True, it’s a compromise, my customers are a pretty good bunch by and large and most are happy to wait a few weeks when staff/machines need putting in place.
  22. It’s the only way to travel! Your paying £700 odd quid for the pleasure of it being on site, the least they can do is drop you in!
  23. They are just rubbish full stop!
  24. Nesting nuthatch stops play on this monolith removal
