I would love to take my wife out but she is happier working in the wood with me. We get on very well and are very happy together. We laugh at simple things and never have been the people to keep wanting everything. We have what we want but are not materialistic and spend our money on the Grandsons. We been married 47 years and it seems like only yesterday

Well done sir, you are an inspiration to us all.

brilliant transformation maxwell :lol:

Thanks, me and the missus have been crying with laughter at this thread!

A myopic tree surgeon named Lee

Trapped an agile young wench in a tree

Said she "move your whopper, you careless limb chopper

That's a moss covered knot hole, not me'"

Anything is possible , Designed my own discreet winch mount .

 

Superwinch for me too .

Like what you've done there, Iveco. Very neat.

There has too be a story behind the pink bar ?

Yup... A good friend wanted to use my saw on a Saturday, and I wanted to make the experience 'memorable' for him. He's a 6' rugby playing guts and glory type and I knew the pink bar would disgust/humiliate him in equal measure. Worked a treat :-)

I like to customise my saws a little bit.. No one ever seems to want to borrow the 660 now :-))

That's the longest tail I've ever seen

Just noticed that.. Nice one!

Wrap a whole load of insulating tape round the buzzer. It will make it a hell of a lot quieter.

Glad to hear it, impressive stuff!

 

My elbows are half shot, and I'm only 25, it's comforting to know that by the time im your age I'll most likely be able to replace them!

Whoever buys them will probably regret it .

Who is going to buy Joe's old elbows?

So as the ram goes up, it pulls the log upright? Good thinking...

Following this thread with interest. I know a lot of guys that would go for this service straight away. Keep us informed.

Get on the phone to Trailparts (01923 253366) - proper trailer parts company in Watford, and they happily post next day. They even send out sweets n chocolate bars with every order.... Just been quoted by them £70 for genuine parts to fix a road tow air compressor as opposed to indespensions £150.....

All welded construction, as opposed to bolted together like Ifor. Very good trailers, can seriously take abuse, I should know, I used to service them... Definitely recommend them, not better than Ifor but would be the only other make of trailer I would buy.

Any pics? Sounds interesting....

Snap-on original top is beech and costs about £350 from them.. Really nice to work on, wouldn't go back to plain old rubber. Fair play for attempting to make it, make sure you show some pics when you're done.

Nice work Nathan. Look forward to seeing the video.

Anyone who wouldn't want that needs their head examining imo:laugh1:

 

I'd have 2:thumbup:

Thoroughly agree :-)

Stop worrying about the weight, it's not important. These logs have been 'Cut Up By A Professional Tree Surgeon'. That is what counts. Perhaps that makes them burn better. :-)

Total train weight is nearly quarters of three quarters of a ton lighter

Braking system is far superior ABS and 4x4 linked in a superior way

Tyres are wider and for Tarmac as opposed to off-road

Visibility is far superior

Wipers work better in heavy rain

Ice alerts

Driver and passenger and curtain airbags

Better headlights and brighter brake and indicators

More power for overtaking a slow cyclist up a hill

Cruise control for keeping to speed limits

Climate control for increasing driver comfort and decreasing fatigue

Better seats for the same result

Journey would be quicker so again less fatigue

Journey would be quieter ditto

Lane wandering warning system

Better horn

Less chance of breaking down and being stranded on the side of the road with all the dangers that entails

Far better fuel consumption so probably do it on a tank,no time lost as there would be with Landie constant fill ups

 

I am sure I will think of some more things to post later

(Moderator says " Please don't bother Billhook!")

Much as I love my landies, I'm with you on which vehicle I would rather tow with in that situation!! Good answer, Billhook.

This is why we have H&S :-)

Thanks Ti , you sound like you've got a good recovery going.

Just finished my second month dry... Man do I feel better!!

Nice pics, Silky.

Stick with the red like the 90 I reckon.

Looks good with black wheels 😎

Red with black wheels and roof looks awesome. Like this.. (Not mine..)

Like the colour is that the modern metallic red land rover do?

Thanks Scott. The colour is called Rioja, and yes, it was resprayed an up to date colour in 06 by the previous owner.
