    I bet our lot could break them!

    Especially when you complete the outfit with the jacket, helmet and boots.

    Gomtaro 300mm and Natananko 330mm for me. Could never settle on a curved blade.

    Tipping down all day mate. Like drowned rats first day back at work. (Did you get my PM Jon?) Thanks Timo

    The trick with these is not to use them to dig but to use them just to scoop out what you have already loosened with a fencing shovel. (Actually , a draining shovel works best. The head is long and pointy with a slight curve enabling you to dig out perfectly round holes. The seam weld where the head joins the shaft is 2ft so it gives a good depth guide as well) Using this method you are just using them to lift the loosened soil out of the hole. Again, this saves the damage caused by impact on the hinge part of the shaft.

    Spent a lot of time down there myself, remember good and bad times down there. Nevertheless it has to be one of the most stunning places in the UK. Happy New Year LGW, Hope things are going well for you and your family. Timon

    From Mumbles Head to Brandy Cove along the coastal path on the Gower Peninsula, wales. Great view of North Devon across the Btistol Channel. No pics sorry.

    Well spotted but given the difference in quote prices it's got to be worth a look..........

    Cheapest for our Peugeot 206 was the AA. £400 less than our current insurer. (Wife is American so it pushes the price up)

    Hey Steve , Lots of good things on the radar for 2015 We're looking to put a couple of guys through their ground saw tickets, we're doing our rigging cs41. Also we will be offering a brand new LOLER examinations service for arb equipment in the West Midlands for 2015. We are working towards becoming AA Approved contractors. We're also looking for a new National HQ for our charity helping to restore those with broken lives. In 2014 we opened a new men's house and a new women's house. In 2015 we will be opening more again. Wishing you all a happy, prosperous NEW YEAR!! Timon

    Beautiful sunny day now Jon . Finished for the day.

    Thanks Tom, it's unlikely that we would be able to afford a shliesing at this stage of the game. We had a bargain with the mog and the chipper came a bit later. Again, we had a bargain... We're just trying to utilise what we've already got and make the most out of it. Thanks mate Timon

    Thanks Huck... This is really helpful stuff to know...
  20. TIMON
    Ours is the green mech 220..... Very powerful discharge ... It is a bit on the long side but it's an excellent chipper wouldn't want to gamble getting another one just because it's a bit shorter.

    Hi Jon .. 3c. In BHAM Back to work today. Conifers. Thanks Timon
  22. TIMON
    Not sure about the reverse box, I haven't seen it yet but I'm told it's only 5 bolts. Our mechanic will build a purpose built mounting plate to incorporate everything.
  23. TIMON
    Thanks Elliot, The green mech weighs 850kg. Should be ok I think, with the HD springs. We might put some extra lights on the chipper. Thanks mate. Timon
  24. TIMON
    ..... Quality!!
  25. TIMON
    Thanks skyhuck.... That's good to know. Our guy is going to make the mounting plate for us from scratch. Timon
