sorry but u if wanna live in the UK, u gotta live with our ways, cranky or not! You wouldn't go to Nigeria or Afghanistan and tell them you wanted them to change!!! Now that don't mean i agree with rasicsm, but all this PC malarky is getting ridiculous.

Mine was to loose a couple of kilo's, were expecting our first child end of june, so i thought might be plan to get ready for sleepless nights and long days farm working....... But i gotta be honest i'm bloody starving already, i don't eat unhealthy just too much of it! So i'm hoping the first bit is the worst, getting used to tea without the half a spoon of sugar is gonna be a grind to!!!! So you made any and have they been broken yet?

its only crap from china because we get them to make it as cheap as they can, if you actually pay them a decent price for their product u'll get very good products!!!

I can see why your all bit pissed off with cowboys like this, but every industry has them undermining the good of the industry. No matter how much legislation you produce the cowboy from the pub will always survive in any industry. As a farmer we have lots of assurance schemes and standards , but there are still people who don't follow standards or who don't have farm assurance and they're the one who paint a poor light on our industry and are the likely cause to many of the farm deaths due to poor standards. Its called 'life' and we all have to battle with it unfortuantely. (ducking waiting for the abuse to fly now )

i've seem some strange uses for a spring tine but never as a grill for a fire!!!

windy and rain squals here.........could do with a tree to go and cut up!!!!

i run a sprocket nose 30" on the 088 most of the time, but do use the 48" sprocket nose when we've got some really big lumps! Never used anything else but i think its a good saw!

think ur right, you'd need to shift some serious wood to keep one of them busy! what about one of these? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK7H3HrEuts&feature=related]"Rapido Loco" Woodbine Firewood Processor (Jan. 2010 version)- CRD Metalworks - YouTube[/ame]

i started reading the last post and wondered what kinda forum this had turned into, title was on about turkey recipes and i'd read a post about manually evacuating anal glands and bum surfing..........

i use ones from 'Kramp' called farm alert, it's a 'live' tracking system and will text if the machine leaves an area or moves outside its time zones. Also you can shut machine down if you want to, more for tractors than chippers that function i should think! About £400 i think and just a sim card to top up, saved our machiery couple of times now everything new desirable to wrongs 'uns has one fitted now!!! Locking it up won't stop them, they've gone to quite long lengths to get our quad bike out its 'lock up' on two occasions, its now alarmed so i get to wake up and chase them with the landrover and a piece of 3x2 incase i'm lucky enough to offer some advice on the wrongs of stealing!!!!

Very big can of worms, i'm only going on wwhat our insurance (nfu) has written in our policy to cover the newer 50kph tractors. Part of me wishes VOSA would open it up, clear up the issues so we all know where we are. Even though we do it, i don't really agree with our big tractors not passing some kind of MOT or standard to go that fast at that weight on the public road.......but then again perhaps i don't want them to..................

i'm not sure but i think even if it ag then not cuz its 'high speed', i know this conflicts the 20mph ag rule but thats how my insurance said they'd cover the 50kph tractors with only over 21's rule..............

shouldn't think so, and remember he can't drive anything over 7.5t wether its only tractor or coupled to trailer, empty or loaded, and certainly no 50k or fastrac or even boggied (turntable at front) trailers if i remember correctly! Really diddled me off when i was 16!!! Sorry to be bearer of bad news, and i may not be 100% right as it was 13yrs ago i when i passed and now don't employ under 21's as we run some 50k kit and thats only over 21's. Seems unfair but i can see why!

First lab is my bitch 'Jazz' who follows me everywhere and will happily spend all day in the tractor snoozing so long as she gets a moment to have a good sniff about now and again, very intelligent and the only lab where food is not top of menu!! Always my dog and i will miss her very dearly when she's gone, seen many a hard time through with her!! second is 'Gus' who was a feebie as i was told he was untrainable and destructive, no wonder when at a year old they were shutting him in 10hrs a day 6days a week, he's as thick as two very short planks but is so loveable and follows the wife everywhere! Average training now, but food is definately top of the menu!! Next is 'fly' which was rescued by the wife (long before i knew her) as she couldn't be trained as a working dog and was gonna be shot, she's loopy as a box of frogs and drives me up the wall when i'm moving cattle as she's too old to teach a new trick but loves to get in the way, very fluent in "french and german" as taught on a need to get out basis! Shame she's a loving dog but no use around cows!!!! Just thought u might like to see our rabble!

looks like a bad google translation, next he'll offer to pay by money transfer and then somehow cuz i'm no techno geek he'll empty ur account!

thats the problem with hiring out, I got fed up of that when i used to hire few bits of kit out, Mr Nobody did it everytime i found. Then when our tractor and trailer got sold on whilst on hire that finished it. Haven't looked back really, i didn't charge enough proabably cuz i wasn't trying to be big at it so i don't think its really lost me much in the end!

thats dedication to a cause, i personally wouldn't want one if u gave it to me let alone go those lengths to nick it!!!

our two black labs love nothing more than some cow placenta hand picked from our calving yard...... they seem to have radar for finding it so easy and quick. They get fed IAMS dry food plus any waste food from kitchen and the odd big bone to chew on. But having read some of the comments above i might try feeding them raw meats and veg as it would seem right but never really thought it was an option somehow....... They'd love it i know for sure!!!

perhaps i'd better start getting logo's on our boiler suits....... i like getting money back from the taxman, though i did get £35 cheque back this morning!! Better than a bill!!!!!!

very nicely done indeed!!

and a large enough reservoir to account for oil volume changes if using hydraulic rams. I run my winch pump off the crank with my own drive creation, means i get winch power even with clutch down. But it was designed for doing winch competitions so i decided that was way to go, but probably for pur power its prob best to go off transfer box!

what variety of euc u using to produce this, when i looked into coppice some suggested it but i could never find the right variety?

mother nature showing her best! NIce to see pics like that!

found this on the tube and wondered if anyone on here had something similar or would consider using one? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzDXK1EMd7A&feature=related]Can Cervera - Montseny - Firewood processing on chainsaw bench - YouTube[/ame]
