Many years ago I had a bad snake in a council Land Rover 110 towing a trailer full of rubble. It was on a downhill dual carriageway and it was so bad it was lifting the rear wheels of the vehicle off the road. I took my feet of everything and let the steering wheel slide through my hands not trying to fight it and by the time it dropped below 40 it was all back in line. There were 3 of us in the cab and we got home a lot slower that day.

Topdog and underdog come from dog packs where the top dog gets first pick of the food and bitches and any other has to fight for everything. The pits comes from the slang for armpits and means something that stinks. Not everything is about cutting wood

There would have been a recall by now

Tied with a three strand or T.W.A.T.S, now that's an acronym -

Those are not acronyms they are initials Acronyms are initials or syllables that make a word like radar or NATO. Just saying, not getting on a high horse or owt -
Listen to it under load in a cut and it will sound different. It sounds alright at that not racing and not bogging.

No they don't I was refunded from ebay funds for an item that was not as described which surprised me as I thought it would have gone back and now I am stuck with a round table cloth when I wanted a square one

does anyone now the make model of my stump grinder
peatff replied to johnnyman1990's topic in General chat
My welding is just as good at home as it used to be when I was at work -
Would it work as well on fresh stumps? That one looked well rotted and came out of the auger on it's own easily.

That only works for water cooled engines.

If you can't switch off it's probably faulty wiring, just flick the choke back on Yes I know, I'm kidding.

I just want to see a picture of 82 foot sycamore

What country are you in to find dry moss ?

I can see the machines on the trailer, is Stumpy behind them ?

Why would you put woodchip in the greenhouse ?

If you put a location in your profile, it doesn't need to be your address just a city or even a county then someone may be able to help with something a bit more specific. Our local supplier Spire bearings is really helpful and will get most things in a couple of days. He did pull me up when I asked for metal caged bearings for one job saying that the fibre cage option they supply actually runs cooler and holds lubricant better than a metal caged alternative and the rollers do the work not the cage.

Does anything grow slower than Box ?

I would not consider reusing a piston that's damaged. They are cheap enough to replace.

Woodlouse carver at Weird and Wonderful Wood?

We call them binnies at our house because they were always there when you move the bin on the yard -
Use a calculator site to find your needs then go 20% bigger if you want to allow for the open staircase. The 8.5 should be well up to the job on paper but the 5 would be borderline. Stove position can be a consideration as well.

I used to shunt trailers into a loading bay with a knackered Ford D800. Anything over 36ft was a doddle but 28s were awkward. I also worked in a foundry where the charge was reversed in on a trailer and lifted with a crane over the vessel. The trailer was a turntable steer and it was reversed in with a rear steer fork truck and that took some getting your head round.

Tree work in close proximity to railway lines and platform
peatff replied to graeme3000's topic in General chat
I watched a couple of young lads taking some Leylandii down a few months back. They were next to a brook not overhanging a railway platform and one climbed and reduced them while the other fed into the chipper and it was a very messy job, not that they were doing a bad job but the trees had multitudes of trunk like branches growing upwards from the bottom and there was a lot of dead stuff in the middle. I would take off what I could up to the height of the fence on your side then take a good look at what there is to work with.
