Dug the old girl out of hibernation yesterday and chucked a bucket of water over it , put two batteries on there and the thing fired up as if it was used an hour ago . Freed off the brakes and its good to trundle back to the workshop Also dug out the Stalwart from under a tree so will try and get that fired up as well, being petrol I dont suppose this is going to be easy

Weirdest thing you have found in a hedge
aspenarb replied to Thesnarlingbadger's topic in General chat
Not uncommon for us to find strays living in the woods and land banks, found a whole encampment of very pissed/drugged illegal`s on a site we cleared in St Albans. Yep, the guys have been warned about the dangers of contracting Hep B when cleaning the tractor Bob -

A tramp, I nearly backed the mulcher over him Bob -
Before you go any further and start changing bits put a leccy tester on the terminals of the hydraulic directional valve. If there is power to it in both directions there may well be a solenoid issue. Bob

A man walking his dog told a man in the pub who told me that @Mark Bolam and @Al Cormack have been seen testing out new methods of hedge trimming.

As long as its under the 3.5 ton you will be fine, you are going to end up with a very small legal payload though. Bob

Can lo linger get arbtalk through my home wifi Plogs is that you Works better and faster for me on the Ipad than the home computer, forum page takes an age to load up on the pc. Takes over a minute to load, lots of functions dont work until its loaded. Bob -
Any long runs of planting like this we always run the chain trencher down the line, breaks/fluffs up the soil and makes planting really easy. Bob

I recently spent an afternoon with mine while pricing some clearance work and the poor sod must have taken fifty phone calls, his phone is non stop. All sorts of shit thrown at him from, calls for appointments, where is my quote, when can you start, blokes on the phone with queries, cancellations, others chomping at the bit to start early, TO`s ,bint in the office asking dopy questions and on... To think I used to do all that and work Bob

Scott you need a shit filter, they are called managers. You really dont need to be taking on board all this crap and worrying yourself. Pass the stress on. Bob

Cheap is fine but just sometimes quality matters. Belts as you know vary +/-3% on width, +/-3.5% on height, +/-3° on angle, a good bit on length and up to 10% in elasticity . Its really important to have matching belt sets on multigrove pulleys fitted to chippers and stump grinders , are you as a company prepared to select batches of belts in sets as OEM`s do to ensure they match and tension correctly ? Same with bearings, bearing shops are quite happy to supply ball races on size irrespective of whether the originals were a shallow or deep grove , you really do need to do some homework here if you want to supply and compete with the machine manufacturers .

About 6` so its about 12.1 ratio. Two average guys of 100kg can exert a 2400kg lift with it , thats well over double a three ton excavator can manage. If I build another it will be slightly longer. the lads do slip another pole over that one on occasions for a bit more grunt. Bob Edit; you can buy something similar but they are way too flimsy.

This gadget we knocked up pops out any post, just a chain wrap around the post or if there is nothing left the concrete ball and push the lever down. Makes easy work of it. Bob

I always though Mick was an ok sort of guy . Dragging politics into schools is nothing short of grooming, these half wit left/right center pricks need to be removed from schools. Bob

e6Gz by and large I have kept out of this brexit debate but this is my take on it. A very smug conservative government that thought brexit could never happen offered the largely uninformed British people the referendum. The public were then bombed with all the negatives that the EU brings on top of many falsehoods a brexit would deliver. Negatives on immigration, the NHS contributions to the EU and many more were hyped which definitely influence a vote , now the truth and facts have emerged why should the people not have the final say ? Its a bit like being in a football stadium with 25,000 hooligans on your left wanting to smash fuck out of the town and kick the shit out of the other fans , on your right is one solicitor thats telling you its not a good idea. Which way do you run? Just sayin 60d
