  1. Yeah, chip quality ain’t great,
  2. Nice, been giving our 90 some love recently, chassis looks like new again, will get some pics
  3. Oof, I’m getting off quite lightly with £250 for a steering box then. I am going to try and be more sympathetic with it, but in reality I know full well it’ll happen again!
  4. True, I reckon I’m going to have to double the size of the concrete counterweight on the 3pl to counteract it!
  5. My little kubota b6000 is currently in dry dock after I completely shafted the steering box by consistently completely overloading the front axle....
  6. Yes, they’re the same company as Saturn machine knives, who have messed me about something chronic in the past
  7. 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
  8. 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.
  11. 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!
  12. That’s a beauty! It’s mind boggling how trees can support a lateral like that, the leverage must be huge
  13. It will, I’ve had two go on different saws, same symptoms on both
  14. Fuel solenoid, mine did that, common fault, £18 part
  15. 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)
  16. As said a 6” chipper won’t be much cop, as a forwarder it’ll be proper handy but think you’ll run the risk of over complicating things with chippers etc, I may be wrong, but if I was hiring you in I’d be doing it to shift timber not inefficiently chip brash, on the right sites it might work if you could pull a 10/12” chipper around though?
  17. 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.
  18. 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!
  19. Have you tried this new app called Grindr?
  20. NR will tear him a new one. With no lube.
  21. 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,
  22. Eh? Your a helmet.
  23. That climber looks proper sinister!
