  2. All my things that run on red seem to be getting blocked filters in this recent cold spell. Genny,tractors,chipper,digger. See through filter is waxy af,when brought inside it liqifies fine. Does anybody add anything to their red? Petrol mix?antigelling agent? Driving me nuts
  3. I've broken several sets of the freedconns. It's mostly the plugs/wires/speakers that seen to break fastish,got probs a year or 2 out of them. Stopped using them and enjoying the peace up a tree not having constant chat. The freedconns lasted ok but was annoyed that the ones on my spare helmet for groundy etc broke as quickly as the ones on my climbing helmet, which seemed wierd as my ones are out getting weathered more as not switched on everyday. Will probs try better quality ones at some point.
  4. I keep trying gloves and 0ften where arbortec or pfanners but often find they get taken off when I'm climbing as dont grip as well as skin
  5. Thanks. Youtoooooobe didn't like the copy right infringement
  6. Yeah,haven't done loads with traffic lights,in general worked well,just the odd melon think they dont have to do red lights. Which I get as it's frustrating waiting and 2 mins feels like 10. the TM lad said we never had them on red for over 4 minutes though! The major is a hero,love that thing. Only comes out to play occasionally,but works it's socks off (and I'm the only one I let use it as suspect it's not up to modern hse law)
  7. Like your optimism! I'd not be milling that for some good craic and a brew,even if bacon butties and few beer tokens involved. Depending what you want from it if it 6' it'll take a day to 2 to mill up into slabs. I'd make a plan with what you want to do with the timber if you mill it and go from there. Quartering might be good. But not if you want massive wide whole table to slabs
  8. Been on doing lots of very ready to go ash trees recently. Only caught a few on vids for obvious reasons. Had TM on,amazing how many people ignore it and drive straight through red lights and right up to 4 lads in hiviz cutting a tree up over the road. The slo mo one was glorious. Very little to tidy,just winched the heavy out the river with a fordson Exciting fb version : https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BsBBN8UTv/
  9. Ah sorry,you said already. This once a day?
  10. Roughly how many twists and for how long and how often do you find useful?
  11. I reckon 99% of garages just whizz wheel nuts on then clack a clacka for a few seconds. On a wee skid steer I'd just whizz them on and maybe check them in a couple weeks. Maybe. I mean if the wheels are slopping about it would remind me to check
  12. Lost a link and track came off. Only seems to happen when they're balls deep. Then snapped my winch cable pulling it out the muck, then the engine cut out,filters blocked. Should have stayed in bed
  13. I found I gaffed out alot with them. But I also do with geckos and x2s. Seem to be fairly stuck in my ways with rhenold kliens. Tried so twisted shank bashlins recently. Didn't seem comfier. Will be for sale again soon
