  1. Thanks Doobin, I just ordered the oil from Cat... all £65 for it and the filter
  2. I bought this to help sort out garden, wee bit smaller at 1.8t than I planned but it's immaculate and was on my doorstep. It has full service history but I'll change oil just as matter of course. Book says SAE 10w-30 or 15w-40, for UK climate does it really matter? Also should I go for fully synthetic, part, mineral etc? Book doesn't mention anything about that! Thanks in advance for any advice
  3. Thanks Doobin, it wouldn't be hard worked- just for wee projects here and there. Was wondering whether to buy one and then sell once finished or just get someone in as and when required. Having had a look last night at what was available I think I'll go for the latter option and save myself the hassle! Thanks again.
  4. Is it possible to get a clean 2.8t with low hours for around £12k, piped for flail etc or is that being too ambitious? Thanks
  5. Still ongoing it seems: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/01/01/vicars-protest-poisoned-trees-spoiling-sea-view/
  6. Different splitter trip design and swinging conveyor on mk2. Possibly other differences that I can't remember.
  7. I see the despite the hysteria, including from an MP, that the police were hiding the true death toll the number is actually falling: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41318828
  8. As above and also make sure the wood is firmly held and can't move at all, particularly start to rotate as the blade is cutting. A sharp blade also helps minimise this occurring
  9. I'll stick my neck out and say SNP will lose double figure seats and their share of vote will fall to thirty odd percent. That said, due to first past the post they'll still get majority of seats.
  10. The Indian whisky tariffs will be received by India, not the EU. Stella, like vast majority of beers will be brewed in Britain under licence as it is far cheaper to do so rather than ship packaging and water
  11. I was there couple weeks ago and it's been cleaned up now, from memory there was a few had slid down the bank and they didn't have good root base
  12. Something similar on Facebook page for forest machine magazine https://www.facebook.com/Forestmachineoperatorjobs/?hc_ref=NEWSFEED
  13. Cars get stuck in wet cement at BP garage - BBC News
  14. Sorry, no pics showing whole machines, just close ups of the iglands on tractors and also one uncounted. they're all the extended drums 4000.
  15. Not sure these will have the detail you require..
  16. Looks fine. As you say difficult thing to carve
  17. You make a lot of good points which firewood suppliers should all be aware of. However, that over 20 years you haven't been able to find one good supplier seems odd, there's a slight whiff of "customer from hell" to be honest! When I'm walking I see loads of areas of neglected small hardwood that would make excellent firewood, it's just a shame that the cost and palaver of harvesting this makes it uneconomic
  18. 8 Iraqi asylum seekers jailed for gang rape, doesn't say whether their asylum will be revoked Eight Iraqis jailed for New Year gang rape in Vienna - BBC News
  19. Hard to be sure but possibly the sling going under the train broke? Again hard to be sure but looks like way sling was hooked up that only single loop, not doubled up. Anyway, I'll bet the crane rocked a little bit losing that amount of weight so quickly!
  20. Just get a small trailer with crane, you'll end up losing days and £'s with this and it'll always be neither one thing nor another.
  21. The inner trees have been harvested and strip left along roadside then wind has blown them over, you see the tops waving before they start to go.
  22. There won't be another Indy ref as nobody wants one, including the intelligent members of SNP. On that note, we're also past peak SNP and it's downhill all the way for them now.
