    Romalpa clauses if anyone is interested in googling it.
  3. Got one for my Skidster. Runs 6 and 12" fine in slightly flinty clay.
  4. I’m getting round to recruiting a wife. Part of the hiring process is making sure she comes with her own copy of Mrs Beeton’s.
  5. There’s no company but if what you’ve said is a thing, maybe there’s a loophole whereby they form a partnership and then the OP sells out to his new partner.
  6. ****************em. Let em die.
  7. Has the Eject killed anyone yet?
  8. That gallic fling of the hand at 0:17. Delicious.
  9. The mature leaves won’t be six inches in length but it’s always nice when women report measurements incorrectly in that direction.
  10. The safety stasi can stay seated. I sent mum up first to make sure it was ok.
  11. What I was getting round to saying was that the Skidster is undersized for carrying stuff around the garden where there’s space for much bigger, cheaper machines (rough terrain forklift) but I can also sneak those log crates round the cars on the driveway and put them down by either door firewood goes into the house through. I was also today mewping around inside a shed dad and I are building. Low height meant I could get in under the braces. Not sure a sedentary articulator like an Avant or Multione would have fitted.
  12. I’ve got the firewood at mum and dad’s pretty portable now. Most of it is in pallet crates that tiles or something come in and I collect from a convenient building site. Also made a couple of these sheep net crates. They stack very obligingly, are low enough to bundle whatever into or climb into and are a useful way to use up short scraps of fence. IMG_1543.MOV
  13. Hoses are obvious. I assume all but the smallest outfits have equipment to make their own?
  14. I’ve heard of wheeled forwarders breaking various gearboxes, bogey drive things etc. Do diggers die from brash butts poking through cabs and engine compartments?
  15. What sort of forestry machines break down the least frequently and the least expensively?
  16. I diced up a pile of branches with a pole saw once. Rested the head on top of a chicken coop, upside down so pulling chain on top, my mother on the throttle, me feeding the logs. Actually worked really well.
  17. Never actually tried it but I’m fairly sure from reading they’re the same hitch.
  18. Sorry, don't know. It came with the machine and I've never noticed a manufacturer's plate or anything on it. It's pretty big for the machine (like those crabs with one absurdly big claw) so I suspect a homebrewed item. If I had to buy one now, I'd buy the light blue one from whatever the business in Chesterfield who sell the Sherpas is called, or a Klou. If I had other machines, I'd do what doobin did and make one that could be shared.
