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!

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...

New Trailer and how to secure it and its contents
doobin replied to forestboy1978's topic in Large equipment
Get an alarm system covering your area, link it to your mobile, link it also to the cage fighters mobile and pay him per ear bitten off. -
Although I presume these are ag yards, so technically unlawful to run a commercial enterprise from? Not knocking you, I do the same. You'll never make any money in this day and age if you play 100% by the rules.
-
In the same vein, saw this the other day.
-
First day out with the E27. Really like the grab and rotator, got the hang of it in only an hour.

Is Leylandii/Conifer Logs worth anything?
doobin replied to Sussex Groundie's topic in Firewood forum
No they weren't, looks like the poor bloke got mugged off with them as part payment of an invoice!! -
There was a Terex for sale a while back with full Engcon kit, I think that was Lewis too. How do you end up with a digger doing that few hours on Lewis?
-
Just measured mine- 42 degrees! Would say that's about right.
-
You're going to buy a heap of potential issues at that money, and none will have a collector worth using, especially on long/damp grass. Sorry mate.
-
Seems to be. I've only driven it around the yard for half an hour, my op had it out Monday, called me up midday and said I'm in the red for diesel!! So I went out, and ten litres near on fillled it, so the gauge isn't quite right somewhere. The left track lever is sticking but might sort itself out. Hell of a lot of power, especially tracking. The dipper control is a lot less sensitive than the boom, may just be something you get used to or may need adjusting. Oh, and there's 3mm of space for shims in the quick hitch, which isn't acceptable, they should have been fitted. I'll get them to sort it all out at the first 50 hour service.
-
Yes, turned up on Friday. Can't be arsed to check emails to see actual delivery time, but they were blaming Whites for a late delivery and then problems with the hitch towards the end of it all. Must have been 8 weeks all told. I'm just please they didn't send mine with twin aux to you, I'd have been livid ?
-
I'm just fitting an Intermecato Tigergrip and rotator with a headstock (thanks for the reccomendation on the digger thread Eddie!) and I spent quite a lot of time playing around with templates to get the crowd angle where I wanted it (ie, so you can hold the grab out straight in front of you with ease) I'd say you want something like the above for a flail. You'll never want to point it straight back at you, thats for sure, so might as well go the whole hog the other way. The cutout in the main plate is to allow the front of the hitch clearance at such an angle- watch you for this.
