  1. Another great quote from helpful Mr Eggs
  2. Isn't that always the way with the revenue. Win one way and lose it again elsewhere. Evil robbing dogs !!
  3. I'm not 100% on this but if you reclassify this as a crane carrier does it not then exclude you from pulling a trailer?. A guy I bought land rover parts from years back, put a digger on the chassis of his 90, but the flexing and twisting at reach split the chassis rails. Rover chassis's arent that great. - would need a subframe for the crane , therefore more weight
  4. Garden shredder !! Whata cowboy. The mrs's kitchen blender does just as good a job , is more reliable and cheaper too so more profit for me. - I think it has a longer lead. With a nail for a fuse its just as powerful. Its good for mixing sand and cement for patios too..
  5. Ain't predictive text great. Should be lucas Miller
  6. Sorry can't help you out beyond what's already been given. I'm a luv as Miller but got prices for Peters instance this year . May have to look at Atkinson a myself. My doc charges €41 to re tip the blades. I usually re tip before they need it. As the kerf width reduces minutely with each sharpen and you start to get cutting issues esp with hairy grained wood. Good luck. Really fancied the WPF but couldn't raise the capital. Shaun
  7. £364 plus the tax man bounty for the 10". Each. When you get them look after them and always keep them sharp. Only takes 5 mind if you've not trashed the teeth. Find yourself a good saw doc. Almost as important as good customers. Without the doc ya fookd
  8. Log logic . Devon
  9. Sorry, cutting notches that is? Obviously steaming would do either direction
  10. Would this work if you wanted the curve outwards as well?
  11. Seems like abuse of kit to me, eventually somethings gonna get bent or busted
  12. My eyes have been opened a little wider now. Thanks
  13. However that also creates a need to keep procuring a ready supply of animals for entertainment doesn't it
  14. Thanks for that. That side of the story definitely never makes the headlines
  15. I know the stakes are big, one of the operators I looked at was asking $49000 for a 10 day trip with guaranteed lion kill. Interesting to read Delta airlines are now refusing to allow these guys from bringing their trophies home. Good...Make them eat the whole bloody thing
  16. I don't consider myself to be an extreme animal lover. I even kill turkeys for christmas, and take my sheep to the abbatoir. I do however try to give all creatures respect and dignity. So I find it both saddening and disturbing to read the current exposure being given to (Americans) hunting big "game" in Africa. Why Game? Do the animals involved enjoy playing it? Then trying to expand my mind a bit, I googled hunting tours, only to find that there are many more companies offering this service than I could ever have imagined. I believed this industry/occupation/hobby was consigned to the history books. Shoot an animal dead, then that's it. Its over. No one else can ever see it. Selfish ! Photograph and enjoy and let others do the same, and it promotes spending tourists for these cash strapped countries, and preserves and maintains an ecological balance. We really are a truly shameful race on this planet. Or am I misguided?
  17. Neither is the forest where it came from
  18. You say it's a grippy truck on the grass, thats likely to be because the crane's hanging on the ass end. Move it forward and you'll end up with just another truck that's cack on grass especially when empty and has lost the great reach you've got at the moment
  19. Another traditionally used timber for lorry beds was poplar - nice to know it does have a use ! It was liked because it was lightweight, takes impacts well, will dent under point pressure but then restores as long as fibres aren't broken, and copes with flexing and twisting of the chassis. Oh , and of course is cheap and sustainable and easily replaced. You need to make sure it has adequate support for length of span vs load.
  20. You've got some dandy dressed snakes where you is ,boy !!
  21. The end result of 17 hours milling. 6x 3s at 16 and 18 feet, and 9x3s at 21feet. Lucas mill and a jcb articulated loader, and for once a good open level site A happy client
  22. Naaa put the winch on it and bring it down to eye level. Saves all that slippery climbing stuff
  23. In my dreams At this stage in my life I dont have the stamina for long lengths, may just be a light lift and a quick clean out :-D We all like a bit of patronage, proud as hell when we get the wealthy ones , but so jealous/ mocking when someone else does. It's not a great part of our nature is it ?
  24. Well guys I'll leave you at it. I need money and I've work to do.;-)
  25. For Gods sake . What is wrong with you. Can we please put an end to all this rubbish. Too many of us are on this wasting time with piffle when we should be out there cutting
