    What will you complain about when the tree is gone?
  2. Joe Newton
    Those who can't do, etc

    Teabag stays in. Milk gets added 5 mins or so after. I bring my own brew kit. Some customers look offended when i decline their offer then make my own.
  4. Joe Newton
    I know right, if you fancied a big cock you'd know where to find one I'm sure!

    Surely any pickup would fit the bill? Or a disco commercial with retrofitted rear seats.
  6. Joe Newton
    I don't think it was a compliment.

    You're talking about @jomoco he was a very strange person.

    Glad it's not just me. Mine are due a touch up after a year or so. That's the other downside to long gaffs. You gotta take them off as soon as you hit terra firma. Any walking around in them and your gaffs soon get blunt. I still maintain anyone running short gaffs hasn't seen the light yet.

    Do you find that they run better when they're just a touch blunt? Out the box i was sinking a bit too far into poplar etc. Less of an issue now

    If you're gaffing out with sharp spikes of whatever length the problem is your technique. You'll be too close to the stem and spiking in at too shallow and angle. You don't need to stamp the spikes in. Try letting your side strop out and leaning back a bit instead of hugging the tree.

    Can't believe I'm taking height jokes from a man who's a beard away from being an extra in The Hobbit.
  12. Joe Newton
    Yep, wouldn't ever go back.

    Give @Pete Mctree a shout

    Well you'd know!

    Did the 056 and the 076 share the same piston? If so i can help
  16. Joe Newton
    What did you pay? What range do you find typical? How does performance compare to the diesel variants?
  17. Joe Newton
    Anyone used any of the electric small vans? Not really for environmental reasons, i just detest changing gear.

    I like the Sip canopy trousers. They used to be good value for money. Cheaper to wear Levis these days.

    You're a farm worker who evidently can't run a chainsaw. I'd wind your neck in instead of slagging off regular forum participants.
  20. Joe Newton
    You seem fragile. Is this your first time on the internet?
  21. Joe Newton
    If he doesn't like his current rope and wants a thicker one in which the device will work, where is the issue?
  22. Joe Newton
    You've seemed very willing to on several occasions so far.

    Nice work Mike, lovely when you can get the kit to jobs like that. Horrible when you can't.

    Pretty savage last couple of days. Big old euc over 2 gardens to handball out. No access for machinery so the skidsteer stayed home for this one. Had to resort to pure graft, which was exactly as gratifying as i imagined it would be. VID-20231010-WA0006.mp4 20231010_115138.mp4 20231010_140724.mp4

    How did you mod the 2511 mate? Or did Spud do it? I hear he's a bit workshy these days 🤣
