Continuing the 90s movie theme.
-
They clearly have never watched Austin Powers then.
-
I think the suspicion is that OFR’s presence here (and his regular posting of videos) is just to get traffic to his YT account to make it paying.

Where did @Retired Climberask for advice?
-
Nice tree, but I hate deadwooding, gutty, hard work, and there’s always that bit you missed!
-
Lazy bastard fisherman.
-
That’s bad.
-
I think you’re confused, I know I am. There’s a difference between what you pay the guy and what the client is paying YOU for the guy. That’s the profit. 90 quid on top for two blokes is nothing, you’ll be losing money.
-
What loader are we talking about?
-
Exactly. There has to be profit on top.
-
Ok, well equipped for domestic arb. I’d say go for it if you have the work. Many years ago I tried running two gangs but the work petered out so I knocked it on the head. Good luck.
-
Interesting post. What equipment are you running atm?
-
I would stick to a knockabout on a smaller loader, significantly lighter and more versatile.

Get a Renault express or a fiat doblo or whatever, pull your chipper and tools around with that, save the 3.5 for overloading with chip/logs.

If it’s Ponticum it’s fair game, invasive and a right bastard.

3.5 tonners are a gift from God. Get one without any toolboxes and a decent chip box and you’re in business. We may be moving up later in the year to a bigger lorry but thé 3.5 tonner has served us well.

More context, and better spelling please.
-
Got mine from Hywel Evans, takes his time, but I was happy enough with it. Have a Klou fixed grab as well now which comes out more often.
-
Crikey, Blake's? Not still got a hitchclimber pulley in the bottom of a bag somewhere? No, don’t think so.
-
In my case a build up of gunk had caused the top link to become sticky. I have switched back to a Blake’s for a lot of work as I got pissed off with the self tending when I didn’t want it.
-
What machine are you using?
-
Of course:) My ZZ was creeping and a bit of WD40 on the top link, a blow out with the compressor and it’s as good as gold.
-
Why is it creeping? Is the top spring loaded thingy sticky?

Tree Identification - Help Required (1)
Mick Dempsey replied to Ed88uk's topic in Tree Identification pictures
Perhaps, but a young one... The Orange lichen points to an ash or a negundo, and the catkins could be the dried out seed pods that sit on them all winter. Not a hill I’m going to die on you understand, otherwise it looks like a self sown ash.
