yeah we've had a spate around us, apparently a white transit is the culprit. Come into your yard and ask for batteries and scrap and then leave only to come back later for the expensive bits..........the night dogs are being kept a little bit hungrier at the moment just incase they need to have a good feed one night! I hope he gets his stuff back, but in reality he'll be lucky to even get a sniff of it!!!

could have done that with my eyes closed obviously! :lol: thats impressive, not sure i'd wanna try it first time i jumped in the lorry!!!!

find the nearest farm with a decent telehandler and offer them some notes to shift it for you. It'd prob be cheaper and easier than building your own log arch as it'd be a fair construction to shift them monsters!!! Telehandler, pallet forks, chain and drag away if they're toooo big to lift outright.

having spent a day last week clearing up someone else's mess because they started felling tree's in a wood without a machine and soon realised they had 20 fairish ash (14" DBH) hung up in the bigger tree's and they were still walking round under them cutting bits off the bottom trying to get them down i can believe how accidents happen. And apparently is now starting again as 'he' cleared some space to fell some more into........ Its a tragedy for these two families, but a lesson to be learnt to the rest of us to consider the true risks of what we take on. Common sense is much underated health and safety guide! I keep telling all my chaps, use your common sense, don't jump in blindly. Stop, THINK, listen!

12 ton trailer stuffed with ash hit a grand 6.5tons on the weighbridge last week, but some of it wasn't the straightest so it didn't sit too well. Would have thought oak would have weighed in 9 or 10tons if it was well stacked.

I think what i said about moderators was more tongue in cheek in my mind than what it appeared on the screen........ sorry didn't mean to offend moderators, just wasn't sure google perving was a good topic for a family site. I stand corrected and bow down to the wiser ones, its the best way to learn i've found! Just sometimes you gotta know when to sit down and shut up, and thats exactly what i'm doing now.

guess your right really, just couldn't see it in keeping with a family website..........

nice but i'm sure a moderator is going to come along and spoil our fun!! :thumbdown:

never a truer word spoken!!!

Our TM155 has got 8500hrs onb clock on an 05 plate, straight and tidy its now our back up to the T7235. Been fairly good tractor i personally don't like it but the tractor driver loved it, i prefer our TM150. The 155 cost me £14000 for a new transmission 18months ago, think it was caused by the brake discs breaking up and obviously swimming round the transmission for a while! I'm on the look out for a TW-35, just fancy having one of the beasts for the shear fun of it. Thats a proper engine with the turning circle of a container ship!!!
-
then why do they have dealers with workshops????
-
oh and by the way its ford or newholland here, closest dealer and they're after sales is brilliant!!! Would like a fendt but the dealers twice as far and they as much use as a chocolate fire guard!!!
-
could it be any worse than a manitou? Ours drives me nuts, but then so does the jcb, have been thinking merlo aswell seeing as its lot cheaper. Mates got one on dairy farm, they change it every 2yrs(they haven't a clue what oil change or grease gun means!) so they like it cheap and cheerful. But they don't use it for silage pit work as they have contractor and bales are done with big tractor and loader! Nothing is built to withstand a hard busy day on a farm!

i keep telling the wife this about her horse who i hate (and yes he HATES me, ALOT!), its what happens to my milking cows so why not the horse!

ha ha ha ha its the best bit about having a dog after too many sprouts for christmas dinner........ must have been the dog dear!!!!:lol:
-
Our two labs and collie sleep downstairs on their beds either by the aga or under the table in the wellie room, never allowed upstairs unless the wife's being sneaky. They usually plastered and smelly so downstairs is the only place for them. We went camping once and the wife got woke up at 3am by the dog licking his bits right next her face, the shriek was hilarious!!!

YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM enjoy eating that looks one very good cake!!!

clearing up someone else's dangerous mess in his mates wood.......still wondering how i got involved in the whole sharade! Lets just say, old man, unfit, dangerous with a saw, half felled tree's stuck in tree's, wind, road.......god i need my bed tonight!!!
-
we use duals on our arable tractor for cultivation work, they don't always give you more traction, if its clay soils it'll make it worse, sandier soils will help.....You'll soon get tired of taking them on and off, i thought it would be easy just to pop them on and off when i wanted or even every night to bring the tractor in, now she just stays out in the field till were finished and diesel gets dragged out to it like the combine! Tedious things, might be easier on mog as smaller wheels, but muddy locking straps, slippery ground or tire not quite lining up IMO = Hightened stress levels. But we do use them but don't think they're going to be a quick and easy fix, can cause fair bit of tire wall damage to if ur near stones alot like us, guess also timber might be a problem jamming up between them. Sorry to be so hard, but personally i don't think they're going to achieve what u want IMO.

oh it be a blowing here as well now, proper wind and rain to wake you in the middle of the night thinking ah could be a dark breakfast in the morning!!!

ummmmm..... yeah i suppose it did really didn't it!!! Hadn't thought of it like that, but we didn't go there and live off their 'system' and ask them to change, we went beat or killed them and then told them what to do. Not saying that was right approach either, but surely it was slightly different as i'm sure hitler didn't worry about the PCness of gassing a few million jews to get to where he hoped? Sorry horribly off topic and turning into political rant, i'm off to feed a few hundred cows and talk to myself and the radio!

My darling mother-in-law is putting great pressure on me to give it up with my vodka after reading some Amercian research paper suggesting people who drink coke ie 250ml at least 3 times/week are 30%more likely to die of bowel cancer........... more tea and water and only ice with the vodka it seems..........
