Ouch. I'd definitely want a good bar cover if I was using one of those!

I'll be one of your noisy antisocial neighbours in Shangri-la

Try asking on http://birtydastards.com/ there are some proper Jeep gurus on there who know way more than your local dealer will

But there will be a 12t pull on the snatch block...

I went on a visit to one of their hubs a year or so ago, and their operation is a bit different from the likes of Stobart. LC buy timber and chip it to their spec and don't take in "waste" chip. I guess this may change, but the operation that I saw was based on higher grade chip to G35 and G50 spec.

My kids were getting bored with me practising my tree ID until they decided that the Latin names are like spells from Harry Potter. Then they started running round with stick wands shouting things like "Betula pendula" and "Corylus avellana"! For some reason they also found any of the Pinus genus wildly amusing

I agree. There definitely does seem to be a gap in the market. Something like an AGT850 with a powered trailer would surely give an Alstor a run for its money and be way more versatile.

New range of solid silver pro Sugihara bars are HERE!

Nice! Why should the climbers get all the shiny stuff anyway?

Climber/groundie with tow behind chipper or stumpgrinder
john k replied to mr_matt_b's topic in Employment
Looks to me like it's one guy who will either climb or groundie for £130 a day and drives to work in his tipper. Presumably chipper or grinder would be more money, as would any extra people. -
£60 to transfer up to the High Court, and this is added to the amount you get back anyway. All the other ballifs costs are collected direct from the debtor.

I've done it several times and it isn't difficult. You could end up out of pocket if you don't have a sound claim, or if you're chasing a limited company that gets would up, or if the other person just doesn't have any money. In my experience just starting the process works straight away about half of the time as your debtor realises you are serious. If you get a judgement in your favour you still need to enforce it which can be tricky, especially for small amounts. If it's over £600 it is much easier as you can transfer it up to the high court and they have proper bailiffs. Don't waste any time and money on County Court bailiffs though because they are hopeless.

And look what we found in the woods. Just shows that dumping cars is nothing new!

A bit of light rhododendron bashing and some felling to open up a ride.

Another try...

Nice view from the office yesterday, but my hands did go numb with cold for a while!

Only over 15" I believe.

I was looking for exactly the same thing a couple of months ago and ended up deciding on the basic Wolf Apache kit. £115 delivered and does the job nicely.

I don't see what relevance any of that has to your motor insurance, but with insurance companies you just never know what they're going to come up with. I had my van insured with NFU and when I went to them for a quote on a 4x4 as well they said they wouldn't cover it and may not actually be able to cover the van either! I didn't hang around long enough for them to make their mind up and immediately cancelled the van insurance and took my business somewhere else. I found a proper broker who I could have a proper conversation with who took the time to understand my businesses. It ended up saving me money too!

I've had boats of one sort or another (mostly small and unreliable!) for as long as I can remember. I lived on Tequila for three years, went round Britain in just over a week in the RIB, and now have a share in this very lovely Dutch steel cruiser on the Thames. There are some more pictures on the web site: Shimmering Steel private boat share syndicate on the Thames Still nothing as cool as Al Baker's portage and bivouac though

Haix Protector Pro is what I wear on my size 14 feet. Super comfortable, completely waterproof, and reassuringly expensive! Jonesies will order them in for you if they don't have any in stock.

1 ton winch cable - use less than the recommended diameter?
john k replied to Rhob the Log's topic in Maintenance help
Yes it does lock on. I agree, it sounds like you've got one from a bigger winch. The handle I have isn't telescopic either. -
Edge trees in the snow - pictures
john k replied to john k's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Finishing off after the snow had gone. Not so cold, but muddy and slippery instead. Give me the snow any day!

Here's another job from a few weeks ago. Clearing fallen and overhanging trees at the edge of a block of woodland as the owner of the field wants to put up a new fence. Land owner is dealing with the brash in exchange for the wood. First day in the snow. Cold, but beautiful!

Coppicing for butterfly habitat - pictures
john k replied to john k's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
It is great, but it's hard work. It's a deceptively difficult site, with a lot of awkward manual handling. The first couple of days were pretty demoralising as it didn't feel like we were making any real progress. Once you start breaking through to the edges though you can suddenly see a massive difference.
