    Moto GP

    I know the clip below is old but it says it all about the skill and balls of the moto gp boys. Bob [ame] [/ame]
  3. Twin wheeler so it could be 7.5 ton gross with 11 ton train weight. Bob
  4. My pullers seem to have grown legs:confused1: I found a double ended flywheel puller on ebay, it should in theory fit all the stihl flywheels that have the internal thread and its a fraction of the stihl price. Flywheel Puller Fits In M22x1.5 M26x1.5 Malaguti F15 DT 50 LC 1999 ZJM44 4.6 HP | eBay Bob

    Pay

    Touchy subject is pay, its made worse by the teabreak comparisons when they all start revealing what they earn to each other. This makes it even harder for an employer to give a lad that excels in his job a bit more for his efforts. Drawing comparisons in pay from employed/selfemployed climbers is impossible, a guy that turns up in his own truck with all his own kit that has years of experience is a world away from a nervous wet behind the ears freshman. If the lad that started the thread feels hard done by he needs to have a quiet chat with his boss and come to a different arrangement, its a very small world this and burning bridges is a mistake. Perhaps its time to go self employed. Bob
  6. The price of some of these locks would by a lot of dog food. Padlock vs land shark for security My money is with the dogs. Bob
  7. The rubbish was everywhere there were bikes,tyres,concrete and all sorts in there. Its all tidy now but we will be back there later in the year for another round of works so it will be interesting to see if the locals appreciate the tidy up or just carry on treating it as a dumping ground.
  8. You are sure of a big surprise. Its not just a Bear that dumps in the woods. Joe public thinks its ok to treat it like a free skip. Some of the stuff we gathered before the mulcher got it on a woodland Rhodi/Laurel clearing job we have just finished. Probably near three skips full in total.Ill bred heathens:thumbdown:
  9. Buy the cheapest padlock your insurers will accept because the Caravan Utilising Nomadic travelerS have proven after years of extensive scientific research that expensive is no match for a gas axe , bolt croppers or buzz saw. Bob
  10. Freelander vans are pretty good for clearance. Bob
  11. I spoke to him today and ideally he is after 30mmx150mm and the shortest he would want is 5mts. He will take 2 cu. Anyone? Bob
  12. Allianz , on the fleetplan and no age restrictions. Bob
  13. A fat chick on a push bike with a kinetic rope would have done that. Bob
  14. Where do all the screens and boards go? Bob
  15. You could give it to George our one eyed painter, he`s good at blue Dont shake his hand or turn your back on him or he will give them a dusting as well. Bob
  16. Different . http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=179019&stc=1&d=1427016419
  17. You guys in the west country and Scotland have definitely got the best views of unspoilt countryside . Not in the same league but its none to shabby here in Guildford. Back of this place. Bob
  18. With a machine like that I would have thought your best bet would have been to offer your services within the trade, just forward details of your machine with the rates and copy of insurance off to all the tree surgeons in the areas you are prepared to travel to. Bob
  19. Thanks for the stick Al, the mug stays where it is Bob
  20. 20` shipping container with enough space for a transit and chipper next to it with electric but nothing else so nowhere for chip or wood is £300 to £400 a month round here. Thats the price of security for you. Bob
  21. A couple of things, Maximum drawbar weight should not really exceed 3 tons and can the trailer drawbar ring swivel or is it just welded solid onto the drawbar? Bob
  22. Post some pictures of the thing and we can crucify it for you Bob
  23. John it reads like its more a combination of poor engineering , design and welding , not just the one thing. If you have paid for it to be done take it back and vent your concerns, its easy for us armchair welders and mechanics to comment but no one here has seen it. Bob
  24. What he is after is 30mm ish thick planking about 20` long and as wide as he can get so he can rip down himself. Bob
