Unfortunately it’s the nanny state not allowing some platforms, obviously adult content etc. YouTube will be no problem 👍
-
Goat willow isn’t too popular either 👍
-
Our very own @Steve Bullman 👍
-
Morning all - last grass cut of the year for a local doctors surgery, clear the car park of leaves etc. dry would have been nice but light rain here from 8am - at least it’s a bit warmer
-
My Dad suffered from it too so guessing it runs in the family. He was also diabetic which thankfully I’m not as yet 👍

I feel your pain! I missed two years of skiing until I got heated gloves and was put on Coracten tablets to ease Reynaulds. Felt like my fingers had been hit with a hammer even with very expensive skiing gloves on. I’m not sure which meds do what yet but am on blood thinners, statins, beta blockers and a few others. Hoping that next week’s MRI and a follow up in a couple of weeks will give some idea of what can be done. Already fed up of not being able to do my share on each job
-
Same here - sat in the truck with the engine running and the heating on. Battery heated gloves are helping but with all the meds since my heart problems my circulation seems to be worse than ever. Glad the younger lads are stepping up and taking more responsibility 👍
-
Had the Echo Pole Pruner something like a PT2400 a few years ago with the extra 1.5m (?) extension - huge reach but a bit unwieldy. Machine is long gone but I still have the extension in our unit somewhere if anyone would be interested at £75.00 ?
-
Although it’s a softwood it dries like concrete so get it split as soon as possible. High heat output and burns like a hardwood. I always keep some back to sell to woodturners - quite popular. Used to do it via eBay but that’s all gone to shit now so I have around a ton of 13 year seasoned that a local fella sorts through and buys off me periodically 👍

I always carry two three piece screens and always use at least one as I learned the expensive way. That was with just a 360sw
-
Looks very impressive Mick - I’d just be very worried about not having screens around the worksite having taken out a customers double glazed window myself a few years ago. Didn’t think I needed to move the guard along a few feet and was wrong. That was only just short of where your Transit is parked. Will be interested to hear how it performs long term and reliability wise. Considering one of these or similar sized FSI once I’m fully recovered from my heart problems
-
Welcome back - will be interesting to read your findings
-
Where tf did I say that? You are assuming a lot there!!!
-
Wherever he was born he needs dealing with appropriately- if he’s home grown scum or immigrant. Once this info is released then we will know either way
-
Preventable - of course. Just consider if Axel Rudakabanas parents hadn’t been allowed in 20 odd years ago, those three little girls in Stockport would still be alive. As has been said many times, we have enough of our own home grown scum to deal with, without importing more by the thousands every month. How frequent do these attacks have to be before action is taken?
-
Agree with you - the advantage of the 40 over the 26 is mainly the inclusion of an oil tank. mine hasn’t seen much use yet - had it a few months but normally grab the 161t out of habit
-
I use my Henry to hoover up in the workshop
-
The gta40 is better than the 26. Depends entirely on what kind of work you’re doing? I use battery 90% of the time but wouldn’t be without petrol saws for the bigger stuff/dismantles
-
Wetherspoons- 1.79 a pint of ruddles which I would drink out of choice anyway. Range of bitters up to around 3.00 I think. Basic lager is also cheap. But that involves a bus into town and mixing with a wide cross section of society (that’s me being pc!)
-
Essex - In my local of town pub my usual bitter is 4.20 but weekly guest ales range up to 5.50 for sub 5% and up to 6.50 for stronger/specials. I believe lagers are all 5-6 a pint
-
I’ve seen the video of him in our local high street asking for directions to the train station - unbelievable 😡
-
This was done in 2009 and it was a 1999 model originally fitted with all steel body and tail lift. I cut the body off right down to the tipper body rails and fitted an all ally back from a transit onto it. Fabricated all the mountings etc, then the towbar. Found some old pics the missus took while I was doing it - none of the completed article though. I remember the diagonals I put in were really heavy angle iron, and every bit was seam welded
-
I did my research and this particular model, the Iveco dealer reckoned there was no way that an off the shelf towbar could be fitted - something about the anti roll bar being in the wrong place. If I wasn’t confident in my welding then I wouldn’t have made it. I accept your point though
-
I fabricated one from box and angle onto a Daily chassis - had it checked by an ag fitter and he said it was so over engineered and strong it would pull a house over. Not sure if it’s part of the mot test?
-
Even if you can get a metal blade to fit (unlikely), your machine is just not up to the job. It would be like hitching a 3.5 ton trailer to a towbar on a battery powered fiat 500 - just not gonna work. Several very knowledgeable people here have given you good answers - a lot of the guys on here do this for a living 👍
