  1. No you're wrong. There are lots of 4x4 on the market. That's just the worst choice! Hahahaha! Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  2. But you've only had it 10 minutes and I had to jump start you on Thursday! 😂😂😂😂😂 Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  3. In many ways thats exactly what I want but don't know where to get one and don't know about running costs, spare parts etc. Anyone know of this? And it must be 4x4.
  4. What rope are you climbing on and are you using the supplied Beeline? Also, make very sure that you are clipping the HH to yourself the right way round. The gold spine must be facing you and the steel biner must be capturing the climbing rope.
  5. Exactly:thumbup1:
  6. But I do SRT so it's only downside is that it is for Ddrt!
  7. That's nice Adam. How did you make it and what did you use for the shrink wrap stuff? Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  8. That's the problem. Trading up the future competition is a concern. The problem is, while at college, students are continually told that all they need is a good chipper and a cheap tipper and they can earn loads of money by themselves. They become deluded by their lecturers and finally become convinced that their employer/ mentor is making loads of profit off their sweat and toil. Rant over. Sorry.

  9. Dry. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  10. No, you're wrong mate. The Zig Zag is great, I'm sure, but the only downside is that it can't be used on a single line! 😜😘 Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  11. Ok so it's sounding like a bad idea to get a European type pick-up to tow a 3.5t trailer. I suspected this so I'm glad to get this kind of feedback. I'd like to get an F150 or F250 type pickup but worry about running costs and repair/service hassles. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

  13. Ok so it's sounding like a bad idea to get a small pickup for large trailer. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  14. Still damp. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  15. Looking to get one. Must be able to tow 3.5t. Single or super can. I'll have a Pro-Tipper fitted into the back. Don't want American stuff or Landrover. What's your favourite? Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

  17. get the lightest stuff possible.
  18. Crikey, this is turning into a mine field. I was sold on Kernmaster, now I like the sound of Cougar Blue but I really love the sound of Escalator 'cos it's got the best name!
  19. I'm sure the Sidewinder would work with any hitch device.
  20. I had an apprentice on the same scheme. The success for you and the apprentice depends on what type of person they are and how you mentor/nurture them. When he/she first starts with you it will cost you a bit of time and money but that should soon turn around and become productive for both of you. If that doesn't happen, just get rid of them on safety grounds. Mine worked out very well. He was very hard working, keen, diligent and the first year was was mutually beneficial to both of us. Then he grew an ego, turned into gods gift, I was supposed to feel so lucky to have him on my team and he made demands! I allowed him to feel victimised and he walked off almost immediately. I hear he now has no work, two years later. Idiot! (funnily enough he has not called me and I'm desperate for someone part time:001_rolleyes:) Anyway, with a willing candidate and some good coaching skills from you I think it's a very good scheme.

  22. Do you work on it or just use it for access? Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  23. Hi Ben Are you working off your Cougar Blue on the Unicender? Do you feel the Cougar is less bouncy than the Kernmaster? Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  24. Hi Sussex He is mobile as well.
