No worries Stubbs. TBH MotoGP was the only reason I went with BT, It's only £12.50 a month with all the catch up if you want it. Which I don't. Just got chubby chaps blah blahing to fill air time currently......... Russ

BT Sport this year. Early days but the commentary v last year with the BBC is tragic & lame. Sort it out please BT. Watching with volume on MUTE !!!!!! Russ

Total v Selective weed control = if it has a leaf / growing stem it's going to get a hit. Selective allows most fescue / rye grass stems to survive with good hits on generic weeds inc bulb type plants you've mentioned. Total takes everything. If she wants the spring bluebells and snowdrop / daffodils to survive you can only spray when the leaf & flower have totally gone. Total will do the job on the bramble stems - as long as it's in leaf. Lots of options with chem sprays - PM if stuck. RUSS

PM 're grass seed for lawns. I owned a lawn care franchised business for 4 years and may be able to help. Russ

There was a thread on these earlier - do a search fella. IMO - That size of winch is too big for more most jobs and heavy to lug around. A 2·5 pull would be better. Russ

Just be aware the FC is Civil Service - this means government run AND more importantly, funded. Russ

Latest invoice I've seen for an NPTC registration / assessment is £190.00. This week. Russ -
That my man, is the proverbial "mutts nuts". One question - how easy / tricky is the load of the chopper in and off the bed of the truck? Oh and is load space tight? I'm on a 58 plate Ranger (Not a posh new one!) :-) Cheers Russ

Got any photos of in the back of the truck fella? Assuming you're using ramps, two man job with a long ramp - low angle approach? Russ Still waiting for Greenmech to call despite PM' s.........

Nice truck. Russ

Good call fella. Russ
-
Cheers guys - good feedback. Greenmech, sales opportunities await. Serious enquiry.............. Russ

Looking to take the plunge on an ex demo from Greenmech - when one becomes available..............cue drum roll and post from GM Rep :-) Russ

As much as this thread is interesting - it's also an invite to bragging rights on "who's the man!" My take: If you can hack it - you're fit enough. If you can't, man up - and if it still hurts after a while, look elsewhere for a living. I say as I find, without the drama. Russ

Cheers all Going to be an ACE 3.2 with strops - loads (pardon the pun) cheaper. Russ

Thanks for feedback & pm' s. Clones / copies ? Russ

I can't be more specific than that I'm afraid!!!! I'm a one man band with access to a very good level of subbies, who like me have the standard gear for work and use the network for access to more specialized and expensive gear when needed. I've been asked to looked at several jobs this week where a winch is going to be must and will be a good investment. Looking at the Tirfor range on HB I'm unsure how much "grunt" to go for and whilst I don't mind paying money for good gear, I don't see me needing the biggest load capacity on the shelf. Any smaller outfits that have been here before and can advise? Feedback much appreciated, done a search and nothing conclusive found. Cheers Russ

I say it as I find. Possibly down to the instructor......and you have to ask, if you weren't shown - why? Russ

Part of 38 was how to sharp climbing spikes........ Russ

What he said, carbon copy letterhead / company logo quote books are cheap enough to get done, and whilst arguably a bit old fashioned, if they are serial numbered provide a professional image that can't be disputed (providing you get the key bits in......) Russ

Tony is a instructor (a good one) but not a Training Provider. Paul is both, using himself and others for instruction. Russ

Paul Peacock at Treetech, he is located 12 miles from Boston & Skeg and I highly recommend him. Russ
