  1. Thanks Tom, but the die is cast. It's being exported to France anyway so I'm not anticipating too much dealer concern.
  2. Wild service Tree. Sorbus torminalis.
  3. Quick pic at the colosseum. The hat is keepin' it arb!
  4. Superb objects. I've just come back from Rome where we did the whole colosseum/forum thing. I really loved it. You must get a big kick out of finding stuff like that.
  5. Ok thanks guys, I'll order it tomorrow, sounds like it does its job. Looking forward to using it. The hydraulic winch on the Landy was good but soooo slow, put a pulley on it and it was glacial.
  6. Yes, I kept mine from when I had the winch on the landy, knew it'd come in handy!
  7. Mebees, this is only a couple of G, and I've got some work coming up in the next few weeks, so no time to buy bits and fab stuff up.
  8. Im getting the towhitch, for the chipper. I hope the £50 was not what the winch cost, or I'm paying a bit too much! I think they're throwing in the hitch gratuit.
  9. 35 M | Series M | Products | Uniforest d.. About to pull the trigger on this winch. For use on my Kubota stv36 Weight is right, around 250kg, I don't need all the hydraulics as I'm not a forester. So I plumped for mechanical. It'll be for back leaners and the odd bit of forwarding. Anyone use one and has experience/strong feelings about them?
  10. Soooo much hassle, best to sell yours and get a bigger machine.
  11. Yep that blue flip line you have there Scotspine is on my harness all day every day.
  12. Tell us about your finds Paul, specifically the coins, how old are they?
  13. All year round, leather ones as a preference.
  14. George, I'm thrilled that you can post pictures now. They're a bit random though. Maybe this one, and a few of the others belong in a another thread. It's not really a "thread starter" is it?
  15. Great Sunday morning viewing, love the guys running for the log making a break for it!
  16. The French use this tree a lot as a courtyard shade tree. They respond well to heavy pruning/pollarding so cut any upward growth and leave the horizontal stuff to grow up to a metre or whatever. Annually or every few years (up to you really how often) prune back to the same spot so it becomes a "knuckle" Continue to remove upward growth along the branch.
  17. Oldest line in the book. Stopped falling for it a long time ago.
  18.  

    <p>Hi Stu,</p>

    <p>I know I've asked you this before but I forgot. What make is that winch on the back of your John Deere please?</p>

  19. Interesting. Worth a look certainly. Plus only 2 Minutes long!
  20. From my visits to Thailand I would say as the tree goes up the lower fronds die off and eventually fall endangering people underneath, so regular removal of lower branches isr needed.
  21. Bigtreedon, connys....yuk! Nice judgement anyway.
  22. Timon, that's some good tyre placement/lawn saving. Stuff all that chainsaw milling stuff, log it up, get it out, collect the cheque. Prolly riddled with nails anyway.
