  1. fine if you got a week i'll stick to our 9.5t krpan
  2. she's brand new, will have a look at the hydraulics though cheers have tried the stress control in all settings got it on a valtra N123, find it hard to believe it could be that bad so there must be something up somewhere the suppliers basically knew nothing about it so a bit trial and error on our part our supervisor should be in contact soon to perhaps get someone out to go through setup and use properly with us as the supplier was not well versed with it at all, cheers
  3. is anyone else using one? CH27 | Farmi Forest if so what are your thoughts? so far i'm afraid to say I am hugely unimpressed a chipper that size should not struggle with 4" branches! unless it's poker straight logs (and even then regularly stops feeding) it doesn't want to know
  4. https://www.myjobscotland.gov.uk/councils/city-edinburgh-council/jobs/arborist-climber-58543
  5. vans off the road at the moment but it's ok, got backup
  6. you get a .25 also I was offered one when I bought my bsa supersport as the dealer didn't have a .22 in stock I declined and waited simply because I didn't think it would be easy to get pellets for where I lived at the time,
  7. interesting never knew they did one! there are some nice dangels out there always liked the pug 504 and citroen c15 van varients, shame they are so rare in this country mostly just the kangoo 4x4 we get here
  8. hah! sure is eggs, I have a SG cert but am not allowed to possess my own guns, why? a while back I ended up out the woods and driving for a living the company were a complete shower and probably the worst I have ever worked for but it was a job and I have bills to pay like everyone else this got me down somewhat so I went to the docs and was offered treatment all fine so far yep, finally I made the leap and ditched the job and felt so much better for it after a bit of agency driving I actually enjoyed I managed to get back to my old LA job in the forestry dept THEN came my renewal the police decided as I had received treatment for depression (which had long since ended i'll add) that I was not suitable to have guns in my possession despite never being suicidal (or homicidal for that matter!) so now they are in my mates cabinet I CAN however go to his pick up my guns and go do what I want with them as long as I return them within 24hrs I mean what!? if I was gonna do something stupid how in the hell do those requirements prevent anything? what a load of tosh eh! next year I will be "re-evaluated" to see if im in a suitable mental state! talk about stigmatising mental health eh oh well! my apologies for this long winded tract as for gun laws the psyche of the people has much to do with it Canada's full of guns too but they don't feel the same need to go slaughtering each other like americans do, here I think we should probably keep it much as is , perhaps a little less bureaucratic for those in rural areas with legitimate reasons I:e if you possess a .22 and a .270 why have to have separate justifications etc why do you have this why do you have that etc etc i'm sure to those who have no experience with firearms may find that difficult to understand I can't really think how to explain , but those who know the script should get my drift?
  9. yeah was thinking after but I guess it would just clog up
  10. yeah I was imagining you wouldn't want much below 2/3 inch dia stuff , would it be possible to grade I wonder?
  11. the uk ones have em not shown in the vid but can see it in the pic on website
  12. cheers mate how do you find it? any good?
