  1. No,, he wants Joshua next then he can retire, if the result tonight is a a Fury win he will push for a Fury V Joshua fight but i cant see Joshua wanting to fight him with all the excuses he came out with after Fury beat Wilder last time,,
  2. Not a on line betting man but might chuck ten or twenty quid in the sweep stake in the pub, Fury is a top bloke in my eyes as he has spent a fair chunk of his winnings from the last Wilder fight on a old mill house and grounds about 400yds from me that was up for sale for about 1.2 million, he purchased it and it is now being turned in to a adventure centre for under privallaged kids, where they come and stop over for a few nights and do what normal kids do, My hat goes off to him,,,
  3. A lot of talk this last week about what is to be the biggest fight on British soil for a fair few years now, Most seem to have Fury as the big favorite but Whyte can punch and i just think he needs one lucky hit but getting that chance with Fury will be very very difficult, My thoughts are Fury will have it sorted by about the half way stage so i am going for round 6 with Whyte either flat on his back or the Ref stopping the fight, Whats every one else think ??
  4. Good job one or two of us know what we are doing Mick ๐Ÿ˜‚
  5. Wrong, its as Mick has said above, you just simply bore in from the front where you have taken the gob cut out and take the heart of the tree out, hence the name heart cut, the cuts dont have to line up at all but better if they do or as near as possible,
  6. Fell up to 1.5x bar length ? was this a misprint ? as you should be able to fell a tree 2 and a half times the bar size, i,e saw with 20" bar you should be able to drop a 50" tree,,,,
  7. I dont think this guy would waste his time if they where not there to collect, as far as i know all paid for just need collecting,,
  8. I was lucky enough to use one of the very first 462s that was developed for trials through out europe in 2018, The saw was given to a lad who was hand cutting in the lake district and we ended up on a FISA refresher course together, i think all 6 of us there that day and we all said the same thing about it, it was well balanced, light, and very quick on the throttle, it handled well and cut very well, if i was looking for a new saw i think the 462 would be the one for me, after running 460s and 461s for many years with about zero problems i would be tending to stay with the same stable. i am now getting on a bit so the lighter the saw the better and the 462 is the lightest 70cc saw out there, either the 462 or the 500i would be a good buy, someone today has said to me, i am F - - - - - g sick of mending saws so tomorrow he is going shopping 2 new 261s 1 362 1 462 and a 500i, so if i play me cards right i might get his older saws for very little and it will give me something to do at nights,,,,
  9. The 500i is a saw that is very usable on a daily basis, the power to weight is 2nd to none and pulls a 25" bar n chain with ease, i think it states that they will run up to 36" ? but i am not 100% sure in that, i have used a 500i a fair bit with a 25" bar and very impressive saw, all so used one with a 20" bar and that is a real get on combination, both set ups with 25/20" bar are very well balanced and feel nice in your hands, i know several lads who used to be just Huskey but they got to use a 500 for a few hrs and then just went and bought one, and as one lad said to me one day that saw is a game changer in the saw world, i have only heard of one issue with a 500 and i think that was down to the plank who owned it ?, at the moment is i was in the market for a new saw in the 70/80cc class it would be a close call between the 462 and 500i, used both of them and not a right lot between them but as for power the 500 has the edge, the only problem i see with the 500 is it is a little thirsty compared to others but you cant have power and economy together, this is just my observations and others will tell you different, good luck and i hope you make the right choice,
  10. Easy Tiger ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
  11. Oh dear, i just got shut of a bag of 6mm galved chain, i think it was 80ft long and had been used to moor a boat on Windermere for only one season, it was in a bag in the building and i was getting fed up of moving it, so i swapped it for a light board,,, You should be able to get some new chain with ease i would of thought, there is a lad near me who i use for a lot of stuff who supplies chain called A,T engineering, i think they would put it on a coriour for you, and they aint expensive either, hope this helps,
  12. Kubota will resell all day every day due to there reputation, and hold there money well, i think after 3 yrs the price difference could be as much as 8-10k between the 2 machines, I think Scott JCB are still doing machines on 0% as there is allways something new appearing in the yard next to me, 2 Fast tracks appeared lately,,,
  13. Its all part of getting older, been to several funerals this last 3 or 4 years of people i either worked with or shot with, some quite old and some not, got i mate over on the east coast who i think is just waiting for his number coming up and a family member in his late 30s who is battling cancer, Had a conversation with a lad who i knocked about with at school who ended up being a funeral director and he said to me one eve that he cant believe the amount of people he has laid to rest who was at school with us either a bit younger, same age or a bit older, but its like the saying goes, there is only 2 things in life that are garentee,d, one there going to screw the lid down on the box one day and two you are going to pay a shit load of tax on the way,,,
  14. I have noticed,, you keep coming back,, Decided to call that Cock Andy as he has be strutting about all day today and not doing much, ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
  15. I would,nt disagree with you on this, my PL kept going up and up never made a claim on it in 40 yrs but we do need to have it, when i first started it was ยฃ38 a year, the increases this last 5 yrs have been way above what i expected and when it gets to increasing near on ยฃ100 a year it becomes to much, so i start and look else where then,,
  16. Weather has gone from one extream to the other here in space of 18hrs, monday aft it was 18c and by 10am Tues down to 4c, Tues continued to be cold but dry, Wed we just had a bitter NE wind that was lazy as it just went through you rather than round you, Thurs well we had a very mixed bag today, snow this morning, strong bitterly NE wind, bright sunshine, heavy hail showers and a shower of icey rain at end of the day,
  17. Not a lot , chassis might have 4-500kgs in it, Ally of the outside might be 200kgs, copper, brass and stainless from the plumbing side of it will be of the highest value for the least work, scrap value might be 3-400 quid but a lot of work and a lot of crap to get rid of,
  18. This is the perfect example of why i stated, i would not ask a question like woodypaul asked on here ? there are loads of sub catorgories under DVLA HMRC and VOSA the do not make sence at all as what one says is right the other says it isnt, i have spent most of today reading up on the use of red diesel after the 1st April and to be honest if the governing bodies cant get it right on every page there aint much hope for us, TBH i dont think any one knows, and it is far from finalised,,
  19. 2 i have wont weigh 3500kgs between em
  20. Licence cat F = 31tonne max combined weight of tractor and trailer with load but the trailer and load cant be any more than 18,290kgs, so where does BE and CE licence come in to it ? every one gets Cat F on there licence when they pass a standard car test,
  21. Your right, this is a question i would personally not ask on here as you will get that many different answers, so all i will say is a guy i work with has a New Holland t200 14/15 plate he tows A 14 tonne Dooson round on a lowloader behind it and been pulled several times, he taxes it as general haulage and runs on white, nothing else,,
  22. What do you expect when its go more switches and buttons than just on and off ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
  23. No, he was in pirates of the Caribbean ๐Ÿ˜‚
  24. Just seen this about the sand on the news, its coming from North Africa again as there is a massive storm brewing that is going to head across the Med in to Portugal and Spain,
  25. You be careful with all that bending down ๐Ÿ˜‚
