  1. Neat Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  2. They're hazel (99% sure), the one in second photo is a beauty with the layered stems Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  3. Probably could, meindl do something close http://www.hoffmanboots.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=C%20EUREKA Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  4. I was gonna suggest an Astra estate, we had one for two yrs til last October, 04 diesel, cost £1200, nothing special but VERY reliable went straight through both mots and only work needed was new tyres n set of brake pads. Lots of log space Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  5. Matty, Who/what do they use at the moment? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  6. I've had tamworths and large blacks in the woods at different times and the tamworths did a much better job. I think the longer snout and upright ears mean they do more forage and less ploughing unlike the large blacks which went deeper and churned the ground a bit too much. Norfolk wildlife trust bods couldn't believe the variety of ground flora as it was in blocks of thinned mixed conifer on an ancient woodland site where the acidification caused by the needles usually suppresses the native seed bank.

  7. Care to expand? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  8. I did use it several years ago (a couple of years before I bought it) but it needs some fettling, including the rusty crown wheels which I'm not sure how t tackle, I'll take a pic tomorrow Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  9. Couple of days, 300m, hedgelaying this week, landowner doesn't like bare bottoms from spirals and wanted us to coppice with a bit of dead hedge over the top to stop browsing. I hope I've persuaded him this is quicker[, mostly hawthorn and blackthorn with spindle, buckthorn, maple n dog rose.

  10. Any one know if those beaks/fingers that fit on top of pallet tines any good. Thought they might lack grip? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  11. My first car was a maxi 1750 that I inherited from my grandad, ugly but comfortable and surprisingly quick for something that resembled a slug. Hydrostatic suspension was good until you got a leak and started listing. Also a superb passion wagon as the seats all laid flat to make a comfy bed[emoji3] Back on topic I have an old trekkasaw that runs of PTO Presume it's an early one as serial number is 002 I have some hand written notes, somewhere, from Paul Elsey/Richard Slatem on overcoming teething troubles.

  12. Hav fig8 or large krab at mouth of bag= best of both Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  13. Equally subtle[emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  14. Alternatively you try the rodeo cowboy, (from behind) whisper in her ear 'your the worst ride I ever had' and see how long you can hang on Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  15. I can see no good reason to use non bio oil in any saw, particularly waste oil, most of it ends up on the ground and if you're commercial felling that can add up to a lot of oil chucked about. Also continuous use of cooking oil will eventually leak through the gasket and **** your crank (we had 2 550s n a 261 die like this). Bio oils have improved a lot over the last few years and I've had no problems with gumming up, I use Clark and Oregon brands Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  16. Better springs? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  17. Screw driver in supplied groove on clutch n sharp clout wi hammer, no need for piston stop[emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  18. Like s reassuring arm round a child[emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  19. I'd have probably climbed it after ratchet strapping in strategic places, but as lux said its hard t tell from photos and if the customer is willing to go for the extra cost of a crane and you think it's the safest option then do that Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  20. Think you'll find they're 7£ for bag of 10 logs! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  21. Can you do 30 and not 31? it's just that in well over 20 yrs I've never met anyone who didn't have both Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  22. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  23. You could have the tc tips on the old blade removed and jut turn it into a plate blade as a spare, doesn't cost much more than to have it sharpened Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  24. Fings wot broke It weren't me, honest Show us your tractors Phwooor! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  25. Couple of weeks ago sunrise and sunset the same day Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
