  1. People just like to express how good their set up is for their work, nothing wrong with that at all, I wish I had a defender tipper, transit and Mog too add to my colection
  2. Here is the solution!
  3. It was a minter! AgriMog on here came with me to check it over, he said it was one of the cleanest Mog'a he had ever seen! And he knows Mogs!!!
  4. I learnt one thing from Colin White, that was how to wipe your arse with one sheet of bog roll..... Great cheers Colin RIP
  5. I worked for Colin white back in the day, what a hard man to be employed by! His company is still going but ran by his son. The Mog that tid thread was started about fell through, as I rang the fella to pay the deposit he had so e great news for me.... Gearbox packed in! I advised he took it to Alex Price but later found out it was down at Park Agri.... A year went by and still no fully running Mog??? This left me thinking maybe this was a sign... So I held off and went to see a great guy in Scotland, met him in a supermarket car park and had some great crack. / weeks later I was the new proud owner of my current Iveco, cheers again Stevie lad!!!
  6. Previous staff, just me and silky nowadays
  7. I only have 1 staff but he works like 3
  8. This is all based on my work, Iveco 4x4 and Vermeer 230 IS the ultimate Arb Rig....., for my work, I've used Mogs, Ive used a whole lot if kit and decided on what I have based on where I work and what kind of work I do.l As for removing timber in large amounts I use my JCB loader with grain trailer.....perfect! Job done!
  9. Kill all squirrels then re-introduce reds from captivity???
  10. mine not mine certainly not mine
  11. I spoke to a squirrel expert at a country show a while back and i was quizzing her regarding a hybrid squirrel, mate a red with a grey.....? Not such a daft idea to someone who knows very little regarding them. She went on to inform me that reds and greys are so different it would be like mating a cat and a dog??? Unbelievable, back to the drawing board for me then There are still reds up in Northumberland but getting less and less
  12. Cracking video mate, im still getting to grips with my Go-Pro, do you have the extra battery pack for yours?
  13. Personally i would not consider a 4x4 unless i had around the 4k mark
  14. Any hilux will struggle when towing its limitation (around 2100kg depending on model), im needing something with a little more grunt
  15. I run an Iveco 4x4 pulling a Vermeer 230, also I have an Ifor Williams tipping trailer 3500kg but my mk5 hilux struggles when its loaded, yes i can tow the tipping trailer with the Iveco and put the chipper on the hilux but the Vermeer is 2100kg so the hilux will still struggle a little...... I think im gona be on the look out for something with more grunt! Options please...
  16. You wanna lay off the Sunset me old mucker
  17. Beech dismantle today not far from my house, all timber and chip staying on site woo hoo! Silky did the first half and I finished it off Great day other than I can't think straight, 6 days on the trot.... Knackered!
  18. Second bottle of red??? No work tomorrow then???.....part timer lol
  19. Silky smashing out some sycamores, well out of retirement! Plenty years left in this old fox!
  20. No need for a crane fed chipper when you have a Silky Fox on the ground....Fact!
  21. Shorts are a must, soon as the cutting is done-shorts on even in -20, hard as nails up north you know! Aint that rite Mark!
  22. No no Iveco 4x4 and BC230 id the ultimate arb rig..............in my opinion
  23. Ill give it a go matey Ward 19 Infection & Tropical Diseases
