  1. Most outfits run both. Pickup to carry tools, tow the chipper/grinder. So the chip truck can do its job and get really overloaded!
  2. We have pick ups to carry tools like saws and petrol cans that you don't want inside the cabin. A "dirty" area if you like. Plus you an carry logs and a bit of brush if needs must. The 4wd is good for reversing heavy trailers, and off road of course. They are tax and vat deductible. And they're cool of course
  3. Is that what's its for? Makes sense. One scoop of the snow shovel and it's gone, I've seem some peeps lay a small sheet underneath.
  4. Ok fine, yes the few extra quid for the hydraulic thumb well worth it.
  5. Ahhh, I'll check 'em out, they're Dutch aren't they? This bunch are not far from me, I might pop up to have a look.
  6. Clive James is hanging in there.
  7. https://www.leboncoin.fr/materiel_agricole/838963868.htm?ca=20_s Idly flicking through the French version of EBAY and found these, I've never heard of them, are they a rebadged something or other? They've got kubota engines and hydrostatic. Anyone heard of them?
  8. Back away slowly, no one make eye contact......
  9. I quite fancy being a professional footballer, the money, the spit roasts, evening games in the Nou Camp. I'm 52 now but was a pretty decent centre forward in the West Sussex League. I'm going to jack in the tree work and give it a go!
  10. Almost certainly neglect of blades and anvil.
  11. I have an rsl on my 1.5tonne takeuchi, very good. I'd get a rotator if it's for tree work.
  12. Yeah, he was bloody good. One of the aspects of social media becoming more prevalent is when celebrities die now there's this huge explosion of emotion from everywhere, Twitter, FB etc, people falling over themselves to talk about how much this or that person meant to them and worse are other celebs falling over themselves to think of new ways of rearranging the words "shocked, numb, too soon, or legend" knowing they'll be read out on the news. I'm not necessarily knocking it, just wondering where it'll all end.
  13. You crack me up Stephan. Good luck to you. Please don't start a business near me though!
  14. You can stream it direct from YouTube, it's free, that's what I did.
  15. Well maybe he, and others, will think twice before diving, especially whilst already on a yellow card. I've noticed since refs started handing out cards more readily, it's decreased. Can only be good for the game.
  16. Why not instead of treating it like a veteran oak i.e. Managing its decline, treat it like a willow? The biggest threat to the tree is break off at the base due to the lean, which judging by those 10 year old water sprouts is recent. Cut the tree at those points (with the arrow) if there's some shading that caused the lean remove that.
  17. Cheers Paul, very nice here as well, bit windy mind.
  18. Hey Mario, I remember you saying about Rowdy Rod. He was great in They Live.
  19. I used to love Tag Wrestling, the Faulkner/Royle brothers (what was that about?) It was like Game of Thrones for the early 70s!
  20. We liked Mick McManus in our house because of the Irish connection. Even as a young boy I knew pro wrestling was a bit odd. I never like Big Daddy too much, Giant Haystacks looked extremely smelly.
  21. We should start a thread....
  22. Ha ha, no, he was a great bloke. I did write to "Jim'll Fixit" once though. I wanted to go ferreting with Fred J.Taylor, Britain's foremost ferreter. I can see it now me in the studio, surrounded by dead rabbits.......
  23. They'll be a one season wonder, still hope they do it but Spurs are starting to look like they aren't going to drop any points. If I hear "squeaky bum time" on the media one more time though........
  24. My mate's mother was a matron at an old peoples home, Johnny Kwango's mother was a resident and he visited oftimes. Credit to the bloke he used to wrestle us 10 year olds (usually 2 or three of us at the same time) and throw us about, much to our amusement. Must have got on his tits a bit.
  25. I'd have said deodar, but not familiar with young lebanons.
