No experience of it in arb use but our local oil & fuel supplier runs one [or perhaps the next one up] as a tanker, reckons it's a great little truck...
-
That's a fair observation! Although, as I said, if all you have to spend is £100 and you're not spiking up and down all day every day, they are a reasonable purchase to start off on. But a set of branded spurs should be the aim, either by saving up from jobs done on cheap spikes or holding off on buying the cheap ones and saving up a bit more now.... To paraphrase 'Ar Graham' from Blind-d Date...' the choice, is yours... My next purchase will be Distels....
-
Here's another one. Incredibly they don't have a website, but what they don't know about and can't do with prop shafts probably doesn't exist. And living in the 1970's their prices are from that era too.... Proptech Ltd.

Thank you... that's exactly what I was hoping to contribute and more or less what I wrote before I fell foul of the language laws with an ill advised starring out of 'shedload'.....

Ban Ki Moon no less!! Anyone want to build an orphanage with me?!

I couldn't stuff 160 quid's worth of used non-sequential small denomination notes into a brown envelope fast enough Tony..... -

No contest earnings wise..... you'll be a pauper driving a tractor after a lorry...!
-
I'd double that figure if it was in my garden. Corner of a field fine, but garden? Higher... definitely higher...
-
Buttons mate. Tractor driving is much like tree surgery [believe it or not!].. it takes years of experience to become really good at it, to be able to set up and operate a drill, drive a harvester, spray, spread fertiliser.... But even when you have that experience there's still less money in the job than climbing trees. Seasonal trailer work will be minimum wage... you're competing with 16 year old farmer's sons looking to earn a bit of cash. And last time I did it I calculated my earnings by pints of cider....

These are the same spikes, sold by the same guy [think he trades as AGS Landscapes - has been felling some trees up the lane to my office recently]. I have a pair and I have to say, for all the negative comments, for what they cost, 1. they're not nicked and 2. they do work. They're definitely not the best spikes in the world but mine have taken a bit of hammer and I'm still alive. You pays your money and makes your choice as they say. My opinion: Gaffs are quite soft, going to give mine a sharpen. They're not especially light nor expecially comfortable. They're the cheapest you'll get new irons with replaceable gaffs. They're a stepping stone, something lo learn on, but not the spurs you'll build a career on! As soon as I can afford it I'll be ordering some ali Geckos..... Make of that what you will!

I thought that but it's not, it's a smaller bore version of the previous long stroke 2.4 Ford engine. The 2.2 in the Freelander and Evoque are the same as the new Jag XF engine which is smaller bore / longer stroke still...
-
I didn't realise you were competing Murray! I thought you were just going to watch!
-
I thought I heard Argo were on their uppers...? Can't stand them as a company, they snaffle up the IH plant after the CNH merger then shut it down and ship production to Italy, trashing another chunk of our industry. And farmers STILL buy McCormicks..! [Not many I know... ] Is the irony not lost on farmers demanding the public buy their homegrown produce from farm shops, while they quite happily go out and buy foreign made kit...?! Basildon Blue all the way!
-
I'd go TD5 myself, great engine with bucket loads of potential and a proper Land Rover dash with openy-venty thingers in, not that nasty great plastic monstrosity they shoehorned into the new ones....
-
Dealer terms mate. Otherwise what incentive is there for the dealers to give good service if the manufacturer sells them cheaper than the dealer can? Same with most things.
-
How awesome is this?!... Cingo CINGO M 12.2 H400
-
They don't.
-
Would make sense.... both being Italian machines. Wonder if Argo own Merlo as well....
-
Mine has a hole in the top, and it sits very low in the water... does that make it a kayak then?
-
At least, I was thinking double that to cover the court costs...
-
Never thought I'd be posting this on here...! My eldest in our canoe [?! - never been sure how to differentiate between a canoe and a kayak!]. We acquired it from an ex of my sister who left it at our farm. The kids love paddling it about the pond. I'm quite tempted to try to get a 2 man open topped one and go down the river now that biggest is getting bigger.... great fun on a sunny summer afternoon... Not used it for arb work as yet!
-
Normally they don't get opened, but I clicked on this one by mistake rather than scrolling down my junk email... worth a read... it almost had me
-
I think you can download a CV template from the Buisiness Link websites Arran. How much to include and how far back to go does rather depend what you're applying for..... I haven't included GSCE's on my CV for years, probably since the first couple of interviews, but still being quite young and not having had the chance to gain much more experience and qualification then I would go ahead and include it. Don't forget to include extra-curricular stuff you do as well. Volunteering is particularly good to show, even if it's just unpaid work experience, it shows enthusiasm and a willingness to work hard and learn. Just don't come across as the kind of warrior who will drop their job / course in an instant to go live in a tent in the rain forest in a bid to save the lesser spotted fuit womble of Patagonia....!

Standard issue for building site operatives too... HSE says they can't stick dirty fingers in their mouths to wolf whistle at passing women anymore. The bandage is for when these new fangled feminists throw bricks back...

Had any experience of 'Ferm Florin' saws Spud? Think they come from Aldi. A friend had one which the recoil fell apart on [when I pulled it, sods law 'innit?!], just wondered if they were Zomax as well...?
