Yeah, that's what I do but need to know the capacity in order to add some useful oil treatment.
-
Hi, I'm trying to find the eng oil capacity as the owner's manual doesn't say, at least I couldn't find it. Anyone?
-
Makes my day when they start to gather around the connie logs & good for you if you can do this with a cs. Ours was great but we soon outgrew it within months so horses for courses...whatever that means.
-
I'm also a patriot & I thought 'mortified' was a bit strong. Could it be that the car/driver & passenger were American which rubbed some people the wrong way?
-
Never had a problem with 8X4 ply sheets, painted with Unibond for waterproofing & for greenhouse roofs we cable tie two together. Tried (ex-school) gym mats but too heavy when wet...so dumped them.
-
Good work, what wood is that?

<p>Hi Will,</p>
<p>For future reference, where are you based & whats your set-up? We are a father (me) & 3 sons, family tree business near Maidstone. The youngest is Jordan with the alaskan mill. Regards Les</p>
-
Imo they should've got the max whether pleading g/ng, but the judges hands are tied. I don't get the whole concurrent thing, I mean...whats the point?
-
<p>Hi. I saw you replied re the alaskan mill request. Just wondered if you went ahead with it as I'd be interested if not. Wouldn't want to step on anyones toes though. </p>
<p>Regards Les</p>

<p>We have an Alaskan doing nothing this week near Maidstone if he's still looking. </p>
<p>If so he could call Jordan Day 07713 029518.</p>

Nick, I admire your honestly, not sure I could be the same in your shoes but as others have said, with that attitude I reckon you'll be ok. Good luck to you.
-
Anyone else watch the programme Wild, set in Alaska? Was amazed to see a Wood frog totally frozen, like solid. Come the end of winter & it only thaws & comes to life.
-
Started serious but ended up watching the barefoot girl logsplitter. D'you thing she wears pants?
-
Yes, I thought I was going mad not finding no2 as well.
-
<p>Hi, I have a son, currently self emp, arborist/climber, with tow lic & 4x4 who is interested in the post re a new team. He lives near Maidstone so sort of between Dartford/Tun Wells. Have you a no he can speak on?</p>
<p>Regards Les Day</p>

I have a short list of chippers, which one?
leswold replied to Daythe trees's topic in Large equipment
Wish I'd bought the tracked 160 now as they've been occasions when the pulling power & self driving would've been useful, costs a fair bit more mind. -
No real issue but as it'll be lining the spout I reckon it'll affect the flow once dry stuff gets attached. May make a pull thru with diesel soaked rag.
-
Performance wasn't affected...not that I noticed anyway.
-
Anyone else find the innards of their chipper completely gummed up after putting mistletoe thru. While routinely cleaning & changing blades (Quadchip 160) it took me ages to dig the gunk from...everywhere.
-
I feel for him, we had our truck tool bins searched by a lowlife a few nights back. Luckily they were unlocked & almost empty other than a camping stove which was found nearby. Was thinking of leaving our french mastiff inside for a few nights.
-
Bird, I guess you're talking about all of the CS courses? You don't have to do them all at once you know & I always thought it'd be best to practice what you've learn't in between anyway. How about an employer helping with the costs? is this a change of job or have you any practical arb experience?

How long does 2wd drive car tyres last thanks 👍👍👍
leswold replied to mendiplogs's topic in The Lounge
Good? I was disappointed not to be able to buy longer lasting tyres to fit, "Thats progress" I was told. -

2 ltr Focus auto 18k miles on fronts, rears in excess of 25k & thats not being driven fast, although only softer/grippy are available in my tyre sizes. -
Agreed ATS. We probably over maintain whether wiping down the ram, greasing & visual checking every couple of weeks as its our livelihood/neck at risk. Must say we don't keep a record though.
-
Just called SI (Statutory Inspections) at Loughborough & they confirmed the answer is that no official LOLER/HUWER etc inspections are needed, as R Mac said, the ram mechanism pushes not lifts. They weren't interested whether I was an employer/own truck etc. Thanks all.
