  8. I used to wear Haix tibet forest , I would say the airstreams are as good for durability but more comfy , maybe just my feet ! I fancy trying the woodwalkers too TS.
  9. Meindl airstream , the best I've worn , well worth the cash . TS
  10. I've got a Stihl hs80 , it's awesome for heavy stuff . I think the newer model is hs81 , a bit rough for neat hedges though . TS
  11. Dunno about MS but XP is extra power . TS
  12. Hi there, I went for the t1650 workstation , reason being Dell recon they are good for long service life in extreme conditions ( freezing in my workshop at night ) fact is the precision model is designed to run 24/7 for years and they are fast with big storage too . My son is into computers and he recommended it to me , he's repairing some for business people that are years old . Just my opinion ! By the way it's Windows 7 and easy to work with . CheersTS : thumbup:
  13. If I could only have two I would go with my ms200T and my husky 560 , thankfully I don't have to make that happen . I recon in the real world two aint enough to cover all jobs . TS
  14. Hope you can sleep at night !! :thumbup:
  15. Just got a new Dell precision , fantastic bit of kit would recommend it . TS
  16. They were in Stirlingshire yesterday too , got short shift !
  17. You gotta ask yourself , are those people playing with a full deck !! TS
  18. Try Englebert Strauss online , their gloves are pretty good , I stopped buying from Arco a while back . TS
  19. Paul , next time I want something from Murthly sawmill can you deal with the guy for me , I found him a real nightmare !! TS
  20. I'm too old for branch walking in the wind , well done ! TS
  21. In my van , 10 man kit and a couple of celox packs . Been thinking about getting one of those arb aid kits ! TS
  22. Yip , rotten beech , I've one outside , looks the same to me . TS
  23. All the best with that , hope you get over it soon , as we say here that's a dull yin !! TS
  24. Get a husky 560xp , it's superb , dunno about the 201t though I'm still on a 200t . TS
  25. Both vehicles are pretty good in the mechanical side of things , but up here in Scotland they just fall to bits with rust . Bodywork , brake and fuel pipes , tanks all prone to severe corrosion . Much better down South ( not so much road salt and rain ) TS
