    I’ll take your word for it, the world overtook me around 2007.
  2. Mick Dempsey
    Yeah, no hashtags either, too desperate.

    IG is great for storing photo stories of your work for free. Ignore the monetising bit (wanker T shirts etc.) and it is a good storage resource. You do see some good work as well, not really interactive in the same way as other sosh, but that’s no bad thing.

    Yes, but what use is a crane on an arb job except to load stuff next to it? With a compact tractor you can load, winch over, forward stuff etc. Plus your 4x4 hasn’t been ruined and you can price and go shopping with the family with it
  5. Mick Dempsey
    Plenty about, don’t sweat it.
  6. Mick Dempsey
    Huh? What happened?

    Those of us (like me and Stu) who eschew the HGV route, are always looking for a cheat code to get the maximum capacity without taking the plunge. I think a mini tractor/loader combo with a tipping trailer is probably the best way round it. You can load over 2 and a half tonnes of logs with the tractor and press a button at the other end to unload. Means an extra trip of course to pick up the tractor/loader, but there you go.

    No use the same one, it’s probably healed itself by now.
  9. Mick Dempsey
    Recent shenanigans.

    Problem with them is weight. Put that on your 3.5 tonner and you can legally carry your lunch. The Funeral people use them here to put gravestones in position, I talked to the guy at the cafe after having a look round one, he said that’s all they can do with it, otherwise it’s over the limit.

    Well cos I get an answer which gets me to work the next day (the 150) If you wanted to create a debate about this item, great, but why not find out what they cost, then discuss its merits?
  12. Mick Dempsey
    Why don’t you ask them?
  13. Mick Dempsey
    I have tried that, no difference, I think the rollers could use a touch up with a dremmel. I did that to a GM220 and it transformed it. Anyway, it functions well enough for the little trim jobs for the moment so I’m happy.
  14. Mick Dempsey
    Ha ha! Here it is, where I left it in the bonnet lock!
  15. Mick Dempsey
    Damn straight Chris! Now if someone could help me find the key to my transit, that’d be great!
  16. Mick Dempsey
    Well suck me dry and call me Dusty! It worked! I can only imagine the mechanic played with it when finding the other fault. Thanks to all for your help. I I can just improve the fork crushing power a bit we might have a chipper on out hands!
  17. Mick Dempsey
    Thanks Jase, figured that out, found the blue dial, turned it down from the max. off out the back to give it a go.
  18. Mick Dempsey
    Was kind of hoping for a dial, but it all looks fixed.
  19. Mick Dempsey
    Sounds to me like the oil hole blocked or something similar.
  20. Mick Dempsey
    Many anvils can be turned in situ to a fresh edge.

    I keep seeing a company called Auto-Feed Plus on FB who do aftermarket stress control units for chippers. Looks simple enough to fit (well for anyone handy) Worth a look.
  22. Mick Dempsey
    Pay for the full day are my thoughts.
  23. Mick Dempsey
    Ok, thanks, I’ll open it up and have a look Sunday morning. I’ll report back.
  24. Mick Dempsey
    Hadn’t seen that, good spot.
  25. Mick Dempsey
    I wish, strictement interdit these days. (that was 4 years ago, it’s bigger now)
