    used a uniforest 35 at the weekend for the first time, well built solidly engineered machine, and despite its small size, punched way above its wieght, very impressed, very good value for money

    Health and Safety have done feck all research, they go and ask the so called "experts" and commitees what there opinions are, then write a little booklet to allow us to comply with there nanny ideas, there is to much "protective" opinion out there, it cases restrictive practices and stymies development of new and better working practices, common sense is almost a bad word these days, if it does, in fact , still exscist, todays youth are being taught to comply, rather than think for themselves, how often of late have you seen a young 'un actually do something constructive without being told to, pretty soon were going to be a nation off "If its not written in a little booklet, we cant do it", we despetraly need a return to the "you need to think for yourself " values that are being lost, the nation of followers and sheeple is growing

    and as a p.s. to those who start bleating puwer, loler, and H&S, these are ACTS and STATUTES, and unless you give your consent to be controlled by them, are meaningless

    when is everyone going to throw away the sheeple cover...THERE IS NO LEGALL OR ILEGALL, there is only advice given by various self apointed bodies, these actually have NO authority in law, contrary to what anyone may think, you can climb with anything you want,you may upset some of the H&S nazis, and they will try to raise a prosecution, but ask them to show you what LAW has been broken, and stick to your guns, for too long we have knuckled down to a group of authoritive bodies who are only out to line there own pockets by saying" you must climb this wayor else, and pay us "x" amount to learn , or we'll see you in court"

    agree with steve, as woodworkers, they were good plasterers, I've seen better work coming out of school woodwork classrooms

    go synthetic....no finishing problems there, save the timber for some nice furniture...lol
  7. agrimog
    take the whole lot back to jewson and demand your money back, sale of goods act, products must be fit for purpose, this timber obviously isnt, make sure you kick up plenty of stink and threaten court action if you have too
  8. agrimog
    how long have you been cutting with a chainsaw
  9. agrimog
    aye Treequip,brings a whole new meaning to rock and roll.....lol

    your going to nee to look at some form of front suspension lockout for that, the us military mogs with the front loaders used hydraulic shockers wit a lock system, some of the german stuff uses a bar that locks the front axle rigid to the chassis, and you definatly want the factory lift kit fitted for heavy front atachments
  11. agrimog
    manufactured by heinz.......57 different bits....lol
  12. agrimog
    apologies there Difflock, that used to still working in old school, forgot that most "young 'uns" dont know what thous are, I still use rods, poles, and chains, just to piss of the young trainees I have working with me sometimes( yes I can be a crabbit old bugger some times) , a quick conversion for metric/imperial estimates is 1mm=0.040", close enough for quick stuff, Graham thats a nice haul you've got there, that genset is worth more than what you payed for the whole package, where you going to set it up, would be nice to see it running and cutting, how about mounting it on a chassis and having the ultimate mobile bandmill...lol

    agrimog replied to aiclark's topic in General chat

    what deems them not suitable, have they got a ce mark on them, and where does it state that a particular type MUST be used, and dont go citing loler and puwer and H&S without backing it up with wording that is actually enforcable

    the writing IS on the wall for stihl and husky, as more and more of there saws go electronic and cant be user serviced, the profesionall user will move away ...to echo, makita, and anyone else who will still produce a user servicable pro saw
  15. agrimog
    on a 4" wheel there will be a barely discernable crown, probably in the region of .015" to .020" at the most more would lead to cracking on the band
  16. agrimog
    two part epoxy thats used in the aero industry, called redux, or rivet them using sold rivets, again aero industry standard
  17. agrimog
    alcoa and century are two companys that do extrusions, there are some out there similar to logosols top rails, and the next time your near a fire engine, have a look at the ladder beam on the roof, its a very fancy "t" type section with guide rails on it
  18. agrimog
    get hold of an aluminium extrusion catalouge, whats out there will amaze you
  19. agrimog
    its oak, how much you going to give me to take it away, ask again when its sat seasoning for a couple of years
  20. agrimog
    stihl PMX on my milling chains, and depending on what I'm cutting, oregon on the softwoods in the forests, and a preference for stihl on hardwoods, find they stay sharp longer, but no real advantage on soft

    ask in your nearest body shop if they've got a vinyl removing disc ( its a round disc of squidgy rubberlike stuff that goes in a drill, and it takes of vynl signwriting like shi* of a shiny shovel)
  22. agrimog
    looks like a bitza, where did you find it, nice 406 mog in the background
  23. agrimog
    the colouration and markings on the bark , plus the orange colour of the wood point to rowan,
  24. agrimog
    looks very much like your mounting a cherry picker on the back
  25. agrimog
    just curious, how many climbers actually work with a ground squad where someone is qualified for arial rescue
