At a guess, just a wild stab in the dark, I'd say it involves groundying on jobs, with some climbing on easier jobs. And maybe a bit of fencing. Plus, probably not using text speak.
-
I keep finding myself buying more machinery and focusing on skills and machinery rather than staff. I can't be the only one.
-
Actually, I might know where there's a JCB 1.4t for sale. Got a cab, but it's sticks, not servos, so is a dog to drive IMHO. Year around 2000 if memory serves. Should be cheap however.

I’ve been on my micro today with the tracks pulled in most of the time. So tight. As we’ve discussed previously, there’s no perfect digger, which is why I’ve ended up with three! There is a similar amount of engineering that goes into a top end micro like an E10, so I’m not surprised the price is close.
-
This. But do it quick, 5 years 0% is only till the end of the month, then it's back to three years. All you'd have to decide is whether you want micro (1.2t, 700mm narrowest) or mini (1.7t, 990mm narrowest, maybe £2k more)

Yeah, it’s been done. Then you did it again and broke a spring. No doubt you will continue to do it until you have a serious accident, and I pray its only you that gets hurt. Maybe if you didn’t price jobs so cheap you might be able to afford to take two trips and do a decent job.
-
If you can't even afford a new spring and have to buy a shagged one from the scrappy, maybe it's time you took a job mate.

Anyone used or know of anyone selling any tree loppers for excavator
doobin replied to Bustergasket's topic in Firewood forum
To reduce noise and manual handling, I'd say you want to me bechanically loading a circular saw or something. Processing and tree lopping are two different things, and if you try to use the same implement for both I'd say you'd be making compromises for each situation to the point of it being little use. -
Indians are a pain in the arse. I've nebver worked for one that didn't moan about the bill, try to haggle or just not pay.

If you work for the wood you'll always be dirt poor. Just sayin....
-
Give us some more background on that mate? What happened, was it his boat?
-
No mate it’s not funny. I can’t even begin to describe what kind of a twat you are. Grow the fuck up, get some less pikey gear and stop risking the lives of others to save a few pathetic quid.

The other favourite is 'hardcore/concrete, free to collector'. Usually followed by a picture of what looks like it should be the contents of a skip.

When my old 454 was bad on the brakes it didn;t want to bleed by pumping, but happily bled with a vacuum bleeder.
-
We have an adapted line marker spray gun with a looooong handle welded on. Use cans of wasp nest killer- it really is an instant knockdown, but you'd want to use probably three cans for a big nest...and I'm not sure I'd have the balls around hornets!

** - with optonal additional battery pack ($35,000) taking up the whole of the load bed. I'll believe it when I see it.
-
Bloody good point Eddie. I've been cursing my rotator every time I try to put it back on. I was about to buy one of those pipe coupling tools, but this looks handy and I've used them on loaders as you say. Any idea on price, and do they do them in DN08? Could only find DN10 online. Or does it not really matter?
-
...for about five miles until the batteries went flat. Realistically they will need to be set at 150HP with a 'sport' mode with some asterisks in the owners handbook in the 'battery life' section.

Steady on- I'm relying on overgrown leylandii to pay off all my finance!

Hang on a minute, you're the bloke who told me to put a chain on mine between mast and knocker plate and cut the leg off! Which has worked a treat for the last five years- let's you put a bit of weight onto the post and after a couple of knocks it's all pretty stable, much more so than relying upon a leg, which with little weight being transferred to the actual pivot of the machine means it's all over the place. Have you gone mad or is it me???

I have 3/8p on ms241 and down, and 3/8 on ms362 and up. Nothing in between those saws, but I’d probably run .325 if I did. Max efficiency from each saw.
-
CBN is the way forward for my sharpening (mainly drill bits) Cuts incredibly fast, cool and clean. Well worth £100/wheel.

Maybe if she didn't start her day with 800 calories in a cup (with a special domed top on it to allow for extra cream) then the name woudn't have suggested itself...
