  1. NEVER, NEVER,EVER timber ON TOP of brash...😪
  2. Angling the cut may help in the short term but with wounds that size rot setting in is inevitable. Will just be a matter of managing the regrowth from now on.
  3. What it will do is get some firms dropping their prices to win work. But that's always been the case..
  4. Il give it the benefit of the doubt tomorrow but loads of lads on the FB page are slating it this year..massively overpriced food and ZERO forestry demos...
  5. Yup I've tried a few similar ones Joe but for grip in wet or dry conditions and price/robustness i think hard to beat👍
  6. As Dan says check distance of sensor from flywheel and also the throttle cable. My throttle cable was replaced by a Honda technician but too loose so wasn't getting up to revs.
  7. Another vote for the Tornados...used them for 5 years plus now(not same pair mind)🤣
  8. Far too giddy for a grown man🤣
  9. £6 a pint i reckon this year😖
  10. Please dont let it rain😝🤞
  11. Wound wood is showing good vitality in all those pics..I'd leave alone unless there are any other visible problems
  12. I see this time and again...new developments near to me are doing very similar.
  13. No im sure it began with an s, sorry i have a memory like a goldfish😆
  14. I speak from experience Steve🤣👍
  15. Cant remember the proper term now but relates to wind loading, creates a very strong stem i was told..
  16. Gonna be plenty of kit for sale soon when the financed kit needs paying for..
  17. The remap i had done was specifically for low down torque...the problem i would see with a tuning box is they aren't really tailored to the vehicle.
  18. Had my Td5 130 remapped a few months ago along with a bigger intercooler and HD clutch, totally different now, will pull tracked chipper and trailer with ease, revs much more freely. I think a proper re-map is the way not just a generic box.
  19. Omega Vehicle bodies but afraid they are in Bolton. Very high standard of workmanship though.
  20. I'd be choosing the 3.0 Canter engine over a 1.9..know of at least 4 lads with the 1.9 and while they've been reliable they need revving hard to move.
  21. I just square file..
  22. One thing rings true for the likes of Jimmy Kranky and similar...they like to shout a lot but then ignore the electorate if they dare to go against them.. Gtr Manchester has Andy Burham trying to shaft folks but unwilling to listen to reason. You look up sociopathy and the parallels with too many politicians is scary.
  23. Have recently purchased a Botex 360 2nd hand. Currently have it on an old 2140 Jd. I've played with the setup as it is around the yard and its very handy. Just wondering if anyone else has this model on a relatively small like the JD tractor? Its not going to be used for Forestry operations or anything too hardcore just larger Arb jobs where it will fit. The hydraulics on the JD run it fine just seeing if anyone else uses a 360 on a smaller tractor.
