  1. File the hook into the shape below, then find something it fits and pull the tree over, Bob http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=215711&stc=1&d=1483879913
  2. The young ones,citizen Smith, open all hours and only fools Bob
  3. I was thinking of fitting a two hundred gallon tank between the chassis rails on the low loader and bolting one of those pumps behind the car catcher so I can blast off the machines on site . Better than bringing them back caked in it Bob
  4. Rule number one, the customer is always right. If the man wants rake and burn let him have it. Ours is not the reason why. Bob
  5. Exactly what he says Steve, rake up lop and top and burn it. Normally on a hectare rate and tough going on a machine/rake amongst the stumps. With one of these Bob
  6. Here it is Mathew, battered and bruised but still going. Bob
  7. I know the original poster said electric but those portable petrol washers are much better, will work out of a bucket, got a bit more power and are in the same price range. This one is the same as the one I bought about ten years ago and its been trouble free FoxHunter Petrol Power Pressure Jet Washer 2200PSI 6.5HP Engine With Gun Hose | eBay Bob
  8. No good for a bank job Ste, run in there waving that about and they will sit you down in the corner and call your parents. Bob
  9. Al I thought your apprentice arb chicks supplied their own spill kits Bob
  10. Anyway JB you can borrow a hydraulic boughton as in borrow not keep until you get sorted out. Mick Dundee is back next week, come and speak nicely to him and you may be able to con him into fitting it. Bob
  11. I went to that airstrip in Folkingham Nelson Green uses for breaking machines, I dont know how to attach a google earth of the place but its staggering how much gear the guy has. Bob
  12. Working with animals? Bob:)
  13. MOD insist on it, both can and saw need to be able to fit on whatever you choose , you will still need a spill kit just in case. We use these Wickes Heavy Duty Tuffspot Mixing Tray | Wickes.co.uk Bob
  14. Very nice Adrian, a guy I was working with over the Christmas break takes delivery of the same set up next week. Doosan seem to be gaining in popularity. Bob

    Ignore me, its a pneumatic gadget that punches its way through the ground dragging pipes/ducts behind it.

    No mention of a grundomat then ? Bob
  17. Of boredom? Still ok with the job, its the box ticking and bull thats become increasingly monotonous. Bob
  18. The upside of the flail is everything it can manage is gone with no further handling , just rasher off the small gear and cut /chip the bigger bits. You can make some serious progress with tractor/sidearm or 360 mounted flail. I have got another one that will do the whole job including the bigger stuff but it needs a 13 tonner. Bob
  19. This will eat everything up to about 2" and reduce it to nothing, will go on a three ton machine. If you need it PM me. Bob
  20. Was thinking more of the saw that travels with me and only gets used once in a while to trim up the timber trailer or cut the tractor out, stale fuel and all that. Bob
  21. I dont spend much time on a saw these days Stubbs but I do keep a couple of those one shots in the truck for emergencies, our normal mix is 25/1 but cant say I have noticed the smoke difference on the odd occasion I have used the one shot. Just for the hell of it and not to be outdone by JB I am going to try that asprin fuel you lot keep going on about ( in secret ) Bob
  22. Not much in it though as a percentage Stubbs. 96% fuel @ 25/1 and 98%fuel @50/1 which is probably why Stihl err on the side of caution when using non Stihl oil. In my opinion at 25/1 its still diluted to the point of being insignificant. Bob
  23. How much does chip weigh? Sell your bike and buy a truck.
  24. Forgot about the very Dear John David Semi retired but its 6 pot diesel is still OK to power a mulcher and beat up a bit of gorse when needed. Bob
