Is that not very unusual? And I say that from a positition of often wondering why some of the large loads moved world wide are not fabricated a lot nearer their final destinations, or indeed "on site". My other "wonder" is why do they not use the hovercraft principle for these massive loads? Surely this would spread the weight better than wheels, though I suppose lateral stability could be an issue within the constraints of the width of an average roadway. cheers marcus

Oops? He did say "live":001_tt2: does this mean rootballed? gonna need a bigger hole:lol:

Erm, If this is the biggest load ever transported on British roads. And is Ex Didcot power station. How did it get there? Faeries? PS Quite funny that Plod are not allowed out after dark "elf an safety" an all that. Never heard of lights, hey even extra special site work lights. ffs!

Yep. As above. Handy hint, cut a circle of plywood slightly smaller than the hole to spike to the base of the tree to centre it in the bottom of the hole. For 5m/6m trees a 9" plastic sewer pipe is plenty.

Which thumb was it? Unlessen you are sitting Red square with a still smoking Hilti Gun

I was not worried as would probably attempt to power off a tractor PTO. Not sure if I really want the hassle of digging a pit, concreting the pit and surrounding area, and then roofing over, in however rudimentary a fashion. Though the space to do so is there. But if I though it was otherwise complete, i.e only without the motor and blades. Hmmm? could be tempted

see stenner sawmill, vb48 bandrack wadkin blade | eBay thoughts? anyone?

Remind me again as to the best defination of a bargain? "A bargain is something you dont need at a price you can afford" Marcus Just keep repeating that to yourself.

I do try:001_rolleyes:, an some say i can be trying forby:lol:

see MOD Sales, Military Vehicles & Used Ex MOD Land Rovers for Sale items 147 and 148 m

Ah! What diminsions are your proposed m3 bags. Mostly m3 bags as quoted arnt. An ducks. PS Interested since i am toying with selling strapped 0.5m3 bundles of billets to the "I wanna play with my B&Q chainsaw" bridgade. cheers Marcus

Quite a few. I was somewhat inebriated.(It was not my car btw, actually belonged to one of the nurses). And both hands being rather busy. (Helping the young ladies get squeezed in, you understand) I could not use my fingers to count. (Well I kinda could of, but better not go there?) cheers m

Unfortunately, no.

Nope, this is a straight sided specially bought measuring "cup", from Stihl, i think, that has both imperial (for 1 gall imp) and metric (for 5 litre) measurments for 50:1 and 25:1 mixs. So when we mix a full 10 litre can, fuel measured at the pump, it is the 25:1 line they use. Being 2 by 5 litres of 50:1 mix Again it was absolutly alien Man from Mars Rocket science to explain that they should perhaps jibble and fill fuel tanks and perhaps even pour mix from 1 10l jar to another. So as to leave an EMPTY 10 litre jar so they could accurately mix............10litres worth. As opposed to the "well it took 3.5l to fill this jar, and 2.5 litre in that jar and 7 litres in the third jar , so how much oil do I put in each jar?" Yes, absolutly seriously. And they should rinse the measuring cup out and invert it over the cap of the 10 litre Stihl 2 stroke oil jar. Which sits on a bench at the back of the shed. And never moves. Simples? Apparently not.

Surprising how many horny nurses could fit in an origional Fiat 500. heh heh heh!

Useful in the Autumn (i.e. just now) For the leaves like. Bag capacity a bit light looking though

Hmmmm, Not sure if I would even trust them with a tea-pot, never mind the Earl Grey. marcus

Bloody hell, what am I reading. been running at 50:1 on red Stihl this past 15 or 20 years. Suziki MX120 engines and Stihl strimmers mostly. Had to throw a wobbly or 2 to cure my staff of the old "bung a bit more in" for sure, for sure., for very very sure to be needing to be changing plugs regularly like They also looked at me like I had 2 heads, when I suggested they should really rinse out the calibrated measuring container with the mix petrol. They appear to feel the dead flies stuck in the oil from the last mix improve it somehow. Wtf will persons not "do what it says on the tin" Absolutly no issues this last good number of years.

An absolute avid SF fan when younger. Never saw a single SW film, not interested. Wtf was that light sabre nonsense when obviously they would have developed lazar rifles guns etc (for instance) Might watch them from start to finish out of dumb curosity

I paid £2000.00 10 to 15 year ago. I then replaced the poxy wee basic axle set, with what you see. Valve chest leaks, slewing mechanism a bit worn and imprecise, all very basic, lifts about a 1/2m3 (carefully measured and bundled) of softwood at full stretch. Can drag heavier stuff closer and lift one end at a time though. OK for my smaller conifers. And much stronger than my back. Quite nicely matched to the DB's capabilities, in the ground I am in= Peat Moss

Erm! Where did the firemen come from or Whytf were they there. Absolutly seriously. Marcus

Handy then to power the ram for a tipper conversion. Yes They are a very "tidy" looking truck.

Since our Iveco 7.5 tonne tipper only has a nominal/just over 3000kg payload. I would have thought these in 4 by 4 spec could not have any more payload once fitted with tipping gear and bodywork. Neat and Tidy looking truck though. PS Pure tyre kicking courosity, But what type/capacity is the winch. ie PTO driven /mid chassis mounted, or hydraulic?

Whooly owned by Toyata, i believe. Popular with the farming community here at one time. Very very highly rated for their towing capabilities. Reputably as tough as they were thirsty though.

bloody farmers with their VAT free grants humph!
