  1. The other children gave up talking to me
  2. When I was seven I used to talk like this too..
  3. comeback? if you want my cum back youll have to scrape it off your daughters teeth. My God, i don't know whether to piss myself laughing or dread what comes next ..as it were ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
  4. I haven't investigated on our volvo yet, but hopefully when the deal was done from landrover, he told volvo to improve on the pto design taking drive from front gearbox to rear axle. Had 2 freelander2s and blew the pto drive sleeve on both. Unlubricated components ate splines off driveshaft ends. Known issue but in true LR style refused to address.
  5. The one thing that's missing from almost all your choices, and what's the most usefull is a high/low ratio gearbox. Currently have a suzuki grand vitara 1.9diesel 2012 to replace my old 110 defender. Bought this purely for the low ratio and cheap price. Very happy with its abilities. Not got as much towing capacity (2.0t) but does it safely holding back my ifor williams 12' down steep grass and mud track from my upper mountain fields. Yokohama geolander all terrain tyres, relatively recent fitted. Tyre contact is everything off road. In comfort, without rainwater running down my ankles and with a heater that gets the whole car warm in less than 5minutes. We also just sold my wifes later vitara allgrip 1.6 , without low box, to trade against a volvo xc40 awd automatic. Not put the trailer on it yet, but impressed with its abilities up and down the same track. Standard road tyres. A little too fast coming down as all hill descent controlled vehicles seem to be.
  6. It's always good, but so seldom happens that we hear of the final outcome of a call for guidance and knowledge. Well done making an educated decision. Enjoy finding more tight corners and difficult areas to work it on.
  7. Had a brilliant boss at the changeover point who told all employed to say they'd 'mislaid' their old licences and reapply for new ones, which meant they were updated to new style but with old weight limits carried forward. Did us all a huge favour. Thank you.
  8. My 7.5t licence issued in 1984 allows trailer of 4.5t so 12t gross train weight.
  9. A one dog ground clearance machine in the making - I expect to see him on arbtalk touting for work sometime soon. He doesn't seem half as stupid as you've led us to believe in the past. ๐Ÿ˜
  10. That was supposed to read flails last 4 seconds on rock impact!
  11. I've got an alpha delta tow behind quad mower. It's sort of a strange hybrid Scottish /Chinese machine. Very heavy flail shroud that will probably last my lifetime with pretty shit soft chinese couplings from engine to primary pulley, that aim to eat themselves as fast as possible. Original bearings made of cheese but easily transferred to good quality from local ag suppliers. Cast rather than forged original flails that last 40 seconds on rock impact, but again readily exchanged to professional blades from local suppliers. 15 h loncin engine rattled itself apart at timing case , but spotted the oil pissing everywhere, and shut down before seizure occurred! As a flail on heavy rushes its easily overwhelmed, on light grass I could travel faster but it would start to miss bits. Good, maintenance minimal, drive belt setup from primary pulley down. Would I buy the same again? Probably not - would get a lighter faster cutting, swipe blade type machine and put up with perhaps multiple cuts and more frequent blade changes on my rocky ground, with considerably less weight horsing the quad around.
  12. Don't know if this is an old one or not, but wow this fella's got style. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ VID-20250915-WA0000.mp4
  13. What the f##k does all this do to help a man get woodchip. Poor fellas regretting ever asking for help.
  14. Love the blue resin boards. Something I'm hoping to experiment with in the next year. Where do the swirl effects come from?
  15. Think she needs a bit of touching up, I've got my brush in hand ready for action. - Call me anytime
