Here's a similar one with a Birmingham flavour 😎

Good post Sean. Peer mentoring at its finest!

Isn't that the driveway leading to your weekend cottage, Bob? 🙂
-
It's a shame it came out so dark, but I guess that's the random beauty of "drive by" shots 😎

One from this week

New belts fitted but one flipped inside out. And the banjo bolt on one of the 3pt link rams sheared off so no chipper. Tranny and timber wolf for chipping until it's sorted. Just been using it as a log truck while we wait for parts. Job was miles away as well. One of them days!

At least you got a 2 day job done in a day! My 2 two day job turned into a 3 day job due to mog-trouble

That really sucks, mate. Hope you can recover soon.

It is not the LOLER examiners responsibility to dispose of or quarantine failed items. Only to examine them to determine whether they are safe to use or not. If I fail a rope I will ask if the owner/operator would like it shortened. Hopefully good communication and common sense prevails between examiners and clients.

Sadly this true. It's a shame that there weren't more real incentives for people caught in the addiction/crime cycle to change. I do think that most Arb equipment thefts are committed by career type thieves rather than opportunist/desperate for a fix junkies. In those cases I agree with the majority on here that the deterrents should be more robust and take thieves out of the game for considerable time.

Beg to differ there. I used to be a thieving scumbag junkie..... Not any more though. I changed and I know lots of others who have changed.

I wouldn't necessarily fail a piece of kit just because I couldn't untie a knot that had been loaded beyond being able to be reasonably undo it.
-
Agreed, the 150 is a great little saw, great for pruning and small reductions.
-
Never had any trouble with my 540. Our old 201 was very boggy in the cut even with the free upgrade.
-
I'm working in the West Midlands. Birmingham and Coventry mainly. Lived in Wales for many years though,

Best climbing gloves I've ever owned (And I've tried all the expensive stuff as well)
-
Great vid and good music to boot. Job looked like an interesting puzzle. Nice weather too. Forgotten what it's like to be warm and dry 😎
-
You certainly get to play with lots of toys at "work" 😎
-
You're very welcome to the Poplar, free if you collect it (to manically busy to deliver, especially if it's Düsseldorf 😊) a donation to our charity would be appreciated (don't drink anymore) PM me some details and I'll phone you tomorrow.
-
Westbrook Agricultural Supplies in Rudgwick near Horsham are good and will deliver to you. Lots of contractors in the SE use them. (I used to work there) Hope this helps

I've got some poplar freshly cut if that's any good?
-
Ah yes, the Isle of Man. 20,000 alcoholics, clinging to a rock in the middle of the Irish Sea 😊 (Sorry, couldn't resist that!) Used to go and watch the TT races there. Great place to visit. No tax or H&S, what's not to like.

Using the cradle method took my throwing to the next level quite quickly. I've never been very good at throwing anything ever, really, so it was a pleasant surprise to be able to get to a reasonable standard quite quickly. I think one of the reasons it works well is that you line the target up through the centre of your body not to the side. (If I try one handed I always seem to aim wide.) I went out one Sunday afternoon with my throw line to some big oaks and spent a couple of hours practising. I came home with a new skill 🙂 Also, it seems to work better if I don't stand to close to the tree. I'm definitely not making out I'm an expert or anything, I'm just saying that it made a massive difference.

Nice blower! ..... Is it ported?!

Safety deposit boxes.... Oops wrong thread!!
