We have two power barrows but they are down west all the time and something like this would be ideal for us on rights of way jobs carting stone. Will be very handy if it does tip as i don't fancy unloading the stone by shovel.

I apolgise if i am a bit dim but does it tip?

Nearly a year to the day when a large beech on a site we manage dropped three limbs without warning. Other than the breaks being tidied up nothing else has been done to the tree.

Just had my mates dad round for a bbq. He was the only one to turn up out of 10 people i invited lol. He brought his girlfriend and his girlfriends boy along which was nice. Spent the evening reminiscing which was nice but its opened the wounds up again. Been having this song on replay all night. It was our song as well [ame] [/ame]

Its called a DR (Done right) mower. If you are looking at clearing rights way i would look at the 18.5 hp model with either the 30 inch deck or the smaller deck (or both). It will cope with anything you throw at it. -
This was 3 years ago in Majorca. I peeled but went out with dad for a 20 mile walk along the coast. I didn't realize how bad it was until i got in the shower. I had my top off today and it was burning after 30 mins. It was a partial thickness burn and had a very brief slot on Sun, sea A and E.

Not for the arachnophobics on here. I am getting better with spiders. I just dont like the ones which suddenly appear or the ones which skuttle across the floor. This beauty was spotted in the garage and has been residing in there for 5 years. Going to have to ask for rent soon. -
One of the contractors who was doing the tarmaccing on the trailway saw a dog owner in a suit let his dog do a dirty great steamer on the freshly laid tarmac, so he got the shovel out of the back of his van and saw the bloke put his dog back in the car whilst he went for a walk. He put gloves on and smeared it into the vent where the air goes in for the aircon and heater.

Had a cracking day down west. Had an 8 am start to get down there for a reasonable time. Didnt get any pics of the site as our western apprentice had been there since 8.30 mowing the path edges. Back there next friday bright and early with the big blue beast and 3 knapsack sprayers full of chemical to blast the path edges back. But just to keep the thread going. Here are some shots of tonights 2 hour dog walk. -
Cider and lots of it

Will do mate. Need a bit of the wet stuff unless ya want to be choked in dust.

She flies now mate. As you heard when dad dropped me off in it the other day it does have a bit of a "rumble":thumbup:. Its at the other end of the rev range when it gets a scream and the occasional back fire on the down run.
-
Its a wee bit shinier now jon. It will be given a good going over tomorrow with polish and wax to bring the shine out even more.

Its simple but means alot to me and the family and everyone else. Next year at the next footy tournament we are going to have all the cars parked up along side each other with the stickers on show. Just had a £200 enhanced valet as my treat to dad. Was paid for before my account was cleaned out.
-
The sticker has been put on dads silver beast. It looks the part on there thats for sure. We are the first car to have ours fitted and it has got a good reception on facebook.

I was eaten alive today strimming. Was bitten atleast 30 times. Mostly on forearms but also a few on my neck and two on my face. The delightful little blighters.
