  1. Guy Martins Speed and all the James May toy stories and his man lab
  2. thank you very much CHC, and a 660 is a bit too big for what im looking for Jon but thanks anyway
  3. hello everyone sorry im not trying to hyjack the thread i just have a question i want to add to it. how easy is it to turn heated grips on and off is it just a switch or button or does it need a tool to do it. cheers
  4. i think hes great just such a charactar makes a change from the usual rubbish on TV i am a big fan of the isle of man TT and he is also the new Fred Dibnah
  5. if its just for the occasional use get a pair of oregon yukon wellies there not very comfortable but there under £50 and will save your foot
  6. find someone who is building a stumpery:thumbup1:
  7. there is someone on here who has 100 inch wheelbase defender with a bright green truck cab on i think it maybe Guss or Gups forgive me but i cant remember but its looks a really smart truck
  8. agriculture= load 'er well, then drive 'er like hell
  9. if you go for the landy you never have to worry about getting stuck and you would have the option of buying, borrowing or hiring and big trailer if you need to in the future
  10. very good advice from theflyingscotsman for the price of a good chainsaw you could buy lots of gardening tools, spade,fork,loppers etc and even better you dont need a ticket for them
  11. even the utter crap still makes top prices, a lot goes abroad
  12. ive moved dumpy bag full of sand and gravel with ease using one so the weight wont be a problem especially with willow i depends how much reach you need
  13. one thing i have noticed David on the services page have you written that yourself or have you copied it of another webpage, it could land you in bother so i just thought id mention it
  14. it does look professional and will better once its finished
  15. 1h most days, more on weekends and over the christmas period it was 4h sometimes
  16. like many others David i would say a econimical car which has plenty of room in with a towbar for a 750kg trailer and roof bars would be a bonus, good luck with the test tomorrow
  17. i would say the best way to achieve what you want would be to get the ground tickets cs30 and 31 and chipper then try and get a job on the books for a firm and they might be able to do a deal to put you through the climbing tickets. once you've mastered the work on the ground and have got a good few years climbing under you belt you could start subbing yourself out climbing to other firms for a few days a week. once you get known in the arb industry then you might be able to go totally freelance and then you could start buying up kit and maybe employing someone maybe only part time for a start and build it up from there. you could say what ive just said sounds long and boring and there maybe a better solution but David you must understand that business dont start overnight and you must be prepared to put 110% effort into it. all the members on here who run there own show have built the business up over many years and have work bloody hard to get where they are now. although im only young and im not a business owner i believe experience is key and i think that for you to be starting up a business now would be being thrown in at the deep end and could land you in a lot of bother if you start borrowing money and financing kit.
  18. great work i love the pictures of the ball on the lathe and the colours in the wellingtonia
  19. what i dont understand is how they will test tractors and trailers they might say to bring them to an hgv centre but for some it would mean driving machinery many miles just to get to one. The only logical solution i can think of is to have an inspector do an on site test do a visaul check and then run it up the road test the steering then jump on the brakes etc
  20. whereabouts in Orkney do you live Alan, i have family in Deerness and Harray
  21. personally i would go for a machine without any electronics so there easier to fix especially if they are in the middle a wood for example
  22. it sold at £7844 with 15 bids
