  1. Loveable old rogues.....eh? (Cor blimey guvnor.... Real pea souper it is tonight... Fog, gas light, Jack the Ripper ... Half a crown on the meter guv... My old man used to know Reggie Kray y'know... Real gent he was... Lurvely ) Until you're the victim.
  2. Another 9 months and ours will be paid off!! Likewise, it amazes me where our mog will fit. It's surprisingly well suited to domestic Arb. Look forward to seeing the progress you make with yours 🙂
  3. Thanks for your reply. Yours is the only one I've ever seen. We're still paying our mog and chipper off !! Maybe in the future...... No harm in dreaming! Having said that, the majority of our work is back yard domestic. If we ever start doing site clearances etc.. then we would have to look at something similar. Perhaps
  4. Really love that Vermeer track machine. What lift capacity does it have?
  5. I find my treemotion very busy with lots of straps hanging about on it. I love the lower D's though (I've hardly ever used the side D's on mine) It is a very comfy harness though.
  6. Hope you heal quickly, mate. Get well soon.
  7. Do these sort of people actually get any joy out of their pathetic lives? Only the joy that they manage to suck out of other people's lives.
  8. In 9 years of doing quotes and subsequent work from them, I can only recall a couple of jobs where payment was a problem.
  9. Thanks for the comments guys. Rob Wells was the climber, I ran the ropes. Rob made the job go super quick. Very enjoyable when you can land everything right by the chipper.
  10. A few pics of this weekends job. Some tricky overhanging laterals over fragile roofs called for some creative rigging solutions. Pre tensioned lines with a floating anchor.
  11. Took mine to the local dealers this morning and got an instant replacement MK3. 😎. Didn't even buy it there. No drama whatsoever
  12. Mines cracked now! Only in one place but it's going back
  13. In 9 years of using saws I've never greased a bar/nose sprocket or clutch bearing (I have on a 261 once it melted though).
  14. I wondered where you had got to, Elliot Without wanting to sound cheesy, your machine is in another league.
  15. Wow 5 places... I keep checking my mk2 all the time. It's there right in front of me, I'll be even more attentive now. As far as I can tell the Mk 3 only has beefier top links. Yours looks like its fractured on every link. I wonder if anyone has had a Mk 3 fail yet?
  16. Or afford them 🙂
  17. Sounds like a better bet than venom.
  18. Yeah, I got venom too. Won't be buying any more. Very bouncy and hard to grip when it's wet. I think they made it stiff and slick so that it would tend well through a ZigZag which it does, to be fair. It's just if you have a high anchor it's like elastic. What diameter is the wasp Johny ?
  19. Which is why we switched to premix fuel. More costly but idiot proof. 🙄
  20. Nice set up. Looks uber capable.

    Tomfoolery

    It's been a tough week for our crew. So we decided to lighten up a bit with some messing about. 1. Ricky's Indian ladder trick 2. Kenny asked us if we could get him a harness with a seat on. No problem! 😎
  22. I did mine at IAN Morgan Arb in Stafford.
