  1. Glad I'm not your friend... :-) If he's an actual friend you can surely discuss this with him? (Something about hours spent x day rate here). Whenever I work for friends or family I make sure they know the cost (often reduced or fees waived, but make sure they know the normal rate) before and are happy with it. Not much worse than having to hassle someone who you thought was your friend for money!
  2. Somebody slap the record player please, the bloody needle is stuck in the same groove again!
  3. If it didn't break until after 18montgs of use, I can see their logic. If it had broken soon after purchase, a manufacturing fault would have been easier to prove.
  4. I wasn't saying either one is better, just that the op's question isn't fully answered after 35 posts of shouting from either side.... As I said its a huge step from his/her current ms181, so I'd thought its perhaps not going to be worked too hard? For firewood I'd say 365x-torq BTW, most bang/buck by far, nil-cost upgrade to 372 spec, proven rugged, reliable design and cheaper and more powerful than either mentioned above.
  5. That's a lot of drivel so far... Both are a huge step from an ms 181! What do you need it for?
  6. He'll be sorely missed. Rest in peace Patrick.
  7. Snow in several Russian colors, Restecp to the builders!
  8. Finding an entrance where they can... Soup, soup, a tasty soup!
  9. Aye up, I need a person capable and willing to wield saw and sword all day in the mud, battle Hawthorn, Dog Rose and Blackthorn, tidy up the mess I make, put up with my non-existent sense of humour -insert awkward silence here....- and still not complain. I'm a hedge-layer in need of assistance as I'm well behind on schedule! The successful applicant will have serious self-loathing, a bad back, sore arms and bad scratches all over their upper body (well you will after a couple of days anyway regardless of how fit and happy you were when you started. The job is near Deeping st Nicholas, is for 3 or 4 days a week from last week till the end of march. Payment, You should be happy to be given the chance! when I was your age... Or £70-ish/day depending on ability/skill/go-get'um-ness. Contact me via PM or text message (07 889 774 773) please (after work hours I don't like answering the phone, during work hours I don't hear the thing) Cheers, Daniel:thumbup1:
  10. I may know somebody near there....
  11. Overlap two ladders slightly, g-clamp them together and set up a string to ensure flatness.
  12. Most trailer brakes automatically disengage when reversing.
  13. I don't believe in superstitions, I think they bring bad luck.
  14. Optima yellow top yts5.5.
  15. Hello Jamie, welcome to Arbtalk!
  16. I took some lambs to the Abbatoir this week and will be making some when they come back. I'll be following this thread closely.
  17. I love my 550, but when I bought it there were no heated handles in production yet. And there was something special about my 346 the 550 doesn't have even though the 550 is quicker.
  18. Some cruel bittersweet comfort in that...
  19. I sold my 346xpg to Adam (Bourne) last year and am seriously regretting it now, wish I'd flogged my 550 instead.
  20. How minor is this lane? How many cars/hour?
  21. Killing a tree by ring barking equals felling as far as felling licenses are concerned. Pruning, isn't as far as I can see, providing you are not intentionally killing the tree entirely.
  22. Cut them down to 1m stumps, then pull them over with a (hand-) winch whilst cutting roots with a mattock (or Axe if you have one you don't like that much). Hawthorn roots are not deep/widespread generally.
  23. Höhler, Hobler, Rindenschäler, Sägeführungen, Kettenfräsen, Kleinsägewerke, Messhilfen, Bohrgeräte, Seilwinden, Sägebock, Holz - Spaltgeräte, Schubkarren, Schärfmaschinen, Windräder, Motorgeräte, Schleif-Service,
  24. Engelbert Strauss do long legs at no extra £. Very good value for money trousered they are too.
  25. hought this may be of use to somebody? 1995 MERCEDES-BENZ 814 in Throckmorton | Auto Trader Trucks The 814 I had (not a 4x4) was probably the best vehicle I've ever owned and will own. Rock solid engineering,
