  1. I think overloaded is when your loaded up heading up a hill in 1st and she starts to die. May or may not have happened to me the other day
  2. Just started biking myself. Picked up an old Canon dale to get me started. Mainly shredding it on a Tuesday night- bloody mental! Blokes I rode wig are mainly off there bloody heads.
  3. Had the kl71s on my fourtrak previously very good off road, Exmoor naional park authority also use them and I do rate them off road. One problem is they don't last very long. Currently got Goodyear wrangler duratraks which is kinda AT paternity up the centre with more open tread at the sides. Have really helped me out towing chipper off road.
  4. Agree with you there johnny boy. Windy and rain last night but no big stuff down. Easing up now thou
  5. We getting hitched down the registration office to get legal then next day ceremony at farm and disco!
  6. We find that sheep eat the young shoots as they are coming up- with no troubles. I watched an environmental film which was showing mosantos grip on America. Not a good picture the film was painting.
  7. Goodyear duratracs for me. At patern up the center and a bit more of a mud patern at the edges. Been in a deep muddy field towing a chipper. Started spinning up, where the ats would get stuck, the duratracs slowly found the grip and for me out of there. Good on the road
  8. As said parts can be very expensive and it's always a pain if you only notice something once you have bought it.
  9. Wow! That is quite something
  10. College taught to daisy chain but I used to coil and now have a rope bag. Not too long ago an assesor told me that daisy chaining is frowned on these days as the rope has memory or summit.
  11. I know of soft wood coming out. And lots of it. Most of it going out to Pontrilas sawmill
  12. Mine was through word press, http://www.touchwd.co.uk , cost 5 a month for the hosting ( the place where all the info and pics are stored) and 5 a year for me domain name- Web address. I need to put a bit more time too it to make it look a bit more pro edition but it's a start and I have had a few jobs from it.
  13. Another vote for a boarder. My diesel has got a litter of pups he has sired. 3 quater boarder quaternary jack Russel if interested. Only week old at mo
  14. i run an 18inch bar on me 660 for some serious logging, and back breaking, action!! sooner use my 550, so much easier on the back.
  15. I used a hinowa one back along. . . Pants. So slow!
  16. No wishbones on a cabstar
  17. In fact here is his number 07530232473 I got him in my phone as cabstar man and can't remember his name bit he is a nice bloke and knows his cabstars
  18. Get on ebay. Cabstar breakers UK. He'll sort you out a second hand set
  19. Yes by nearly a foot I would say.
  20. Surely he must of noticed the cizzer slur? Or had he caught you before you had your morning tipple 😆
  21. Ha ha vert funny Jon. I would be going loopy!
  22. Need to get a rear anti roll bar bush kit for mine. Local factors said blue print listed them but they were unavailable. Maybe have to go to main dealer.
  23. If you can feel it in the steering. King pins? Anti roll bar links or mountings? The bar that goes from the steering box to the Hub , has two ball joints on?
  24. A great post Adam. Agree with a lot of the replies. Yes colleges are partly to blame for the false thoughts of being 5he rocks tar climber with a pick up and chicks draped all over it. A lot of people moan about them keeping prices down etc etc good luck too anyone trying there luck. I have been employed and it was easy going but I wanted more, my pants wages and low overheads made it easy for me to take the leap. It takes a lot of courage, stupidity on some people's part, to go self employed. If someone has not thought it through properly and put in the ground work they probably won't last very long. But for me it's panning out alright. #LivingTheDream. And yes if your just a gun for hire ie a top handle and some ropes you are probably a little bit limited.
