  1. That Cortina is left hand drive, probable spent most of its life in good weather why it looks that good.
  2. Great stuff, Red arrows a bit to fast to get photos
  3. Probably best way to get timber as it's not easy at the moment and only going to get worse.
  4. Fred was a man that loved machinery so would probably love them, but not many reach the heights he did.
  5. Brush cutter with shredder blade and wear as much armor as possible.
  6. Remember years ago land owner make a mistake on grant form and landed up starting planting mid May and finished just before Bank Holiday. Was a bit like the weather we have just had cold and wet so they had a good start.
  7. If you got plenty of work going in high is not the answer, tell them that you are to busy. Is it a council job.
  8. Fox glove tree in big garden near me was in full flower last year by mid May, only just got some buds on it yesterday when I looked.
  9. Removed 3 conifers like that 2 loads turned into 3, conifers have got to be the worst to judge about volume. O hell got one to top tomorrow.
  10. Was involved with a large sequoia years ago at a big house when I worked for someone, remember my boss asking were they wanted it put with in the grounds, we put it in one lump which was about 4ft across and 30ft long alongside a disused drive were it layed for 5years then someone bought it and had it made into kitchen unit doors and paneling.
  11. One way to get to an emergency job first. 😀
  12. Have always used climbing harness then if I need to climb out of basket can just.
  13. Take pictures and ask head of council via email then you have proof of conversation if they have been planted in the right place if he can't answer then will pass it down to someone to. This is how I got some answers to a problem as when I contacted the department I thought would deal with it told me there was nothing they could do, but getting in contact with head has made them change there mind.
  14. Was wire last year as well, was told today they had 58 roll of ht 8/80/15 by 100m ordered to go straight out when they turn up and 20 other rolls of something else.
  15. Was told all there wood is from Boltic and its been hit hard by covid. But there stock netting comes from Australia or Mexico didn't ask if they were in the same.
  16. No close boarding, gravel boards, postcret and no stock netting.
  17. When to order fencing materials this afternoon and got a shock, out of everything I wanted out of a list of 8 different products only had 2 in stock, and could not tell me when rest was coming in. And the price is changing every time stuff comes in. This is only the start of it and it's going to get worse. Anyone finding similar.
  18. As its left hand properly need to lower conifers and laurel first, then get permission to work on trees.
  19. I had a argument with giant hogweed many years ago worst affected was lower right arm now when ever I cut or scratch it take 2-3 months to heel.
  20. I got a shock when mine was mot at a up to date mot station which have a brake test machine which weighs truck then evaluates the brakes performance. 2650kg.
  21. Was in a hurry to get to somewhere before they shut to drop a tractor part off 130 sat at 70 on dual carriage way for over 6 miles without any troubles, then a Ford ranger towing a ifor passed me, he must of been hitting 80 as he disappeared into the distance.
  22. And don't be shocked if a young lady answers phone and starts talking about engines but stop on when i needed new engine for chipper.
  23. That maybe true but think bearing failed caused more vibration resulting in clip breaking.
  24. Up date bearing has gone but it looks as though clip that holds pin in has lost tail so think that's what has done damage, as no way rollers in bearing can get out of were it's fitted.
  25. Husky 346xp suddenly stopped last week, stripped cylinder off and found this. Some metal from I am thinking has broken off piston bearing as it has a lot of play, not pushed pin out to look yet but any other ideas.
