    Negative equity isn’t the end of the world, those people could have held out and within a few years would have seen a profit. One thing you notice here is that the expats are very averse to believe that their houses over here have either lost money or have not appreciated as they thought they might, even if they’ve added a pool and renovated the place. It’s kind of a religion in the UK that your house should increase in value, not something all other countries share.

    Big crash in house prices, had friends hand their keys in to the bank and walk away.

    Crack willows I reckon as well. Dont think they’re maidens, just lapsed coppice/ pollard. They should come back from any sort of battering, so don’t worry about the niceties of it. That fencing will need to come down to make life easier. Can’t help about the 360 side of things.

    Pull it out all the way, bet you’ll find kinks, mine has. Its a right ball ache to get it to load nicely, you can’t see it.
  5. Mick Dempsey
    Got any pics? What sort of willows?

    Depends on the size of cuts you plan to make.

    Vauxhall Victor estate before that, gutless rubbish as well.

    If only I’d known that, the journey would have been so much better.

    We took one to Ireland, 6 of us, all day in the car to catch the evening ferry from Fishguard to Rosslare. Bloody torture.

    Old stuff was crap as well, ever been in a Vauxhall Viva?

    Mine Rich, the MO is back at the supplier for another repair. This is an ex demo (111 hours) that a local tractor dealer had nearby (I had no idea!) pretty much an equivalent machine. When the MO comes back one will have to go to feed the debt monster.

    Get medieval on their asses is my considered advice. Start of play tomorrow morning.

    That they are burning the waste rings alarm bells.

    We love it now we sold the cursed Forst and use this exclusively. Its a lump (2.2 tonnes) and as such cannot tow it behind the transit if there’s even a sandwich in the rear of the tranny. But once it’s in place, with the turntable to help us get the stuff lined up, we wouldn’t swap it for anything atm.

    Does it involve repeated use of the question mark? Cos that’s really scary!

    One of those days where everything just goes right.

    Jeez, talk about going off too early! One little mistake or non reply and all of a sudden we’re in Watchdog territory. Calm the fook down
  19. Mick Dempsey
    Yeah, why not?

    It is good, the knockabout I used before is better for lining stuff up for a chipper though.

    Ah, lubrication can give you a false reading apparently. Its important to make sure the faces of the blade and the surface it lays on are clean and the threads are in good condition. I wouldn’t lose any sleep over torquing tbh.

    My mate back in Horsham did hundreds of Mètres of this through a nature reserve.

    It’s a Klou grab, bought from Ranger Equipment who are MO dealers.
  24. Mick Dempsey
    You’re sort of meant to replace the bolts regularly anyway. I changed the blades hundreds of times on my TW150 never checked the torque. Cleaned the threads, a bit of copper slip, tight, then a bit tighter, tight enough.

    They’re better than a compact tractor, I ran a 36 hp Kubota before getting the 8.4 Multione. Here’s the avant lifting bits of cedar over a hedge and into the trailer. IMG_1619.MOV
