    God loves a tryer! What he thinks about a flyer I have no idea. I did it, didn't get any response, but it felt better than sitting on my rear end (like I am now, although today it's just laziness) It's working for you, keep at it.

    Plus, if I remember rightly, the forest slows the speed of the water's descent down slopes, giving more time to it to soak into the soil. Happy to be proven wrong on that though.

    That's actually something completely different.

    I love FB, it's just the other people who ruin it.

    An estate agent who works for the same company as my wife took this at a clients house. Seen from the fireplace looking up the chimney.

    Don't get me started on FB nonsense, the amount of posts I've written and then erased realizing I don't want to get into it with someone. I just hide them, saves bother.

    Ha ha! when I had a LR I bought a few of the plethora of glossy mags available for sufferers of this particular fetish. And yes, seen one, seen 'em all.

    Storage

    Mick Dempsey replied to Bird's topic in Firewood forum

    Sorry Roy, missed your post. They're the things you slot through to lock them a certain height. I don't think anything more complex than a shelf is needed for storage. Security wise I've seen a heavy duty chain through all the handles.

    Any excuse.....

    Very nice, are you going to fit a grab of any sort? Or is it compromising the arm weight too much?

    Usually when it gets cut with your saw/silky and becomes too short. Probably just me...

    Of course I understand the concept. The kid asks about ideas for improving his business and gets told not to be a breadhead and become life rich. I think that's nonsense that's all. Like a feel good meme on FB.

    I don't see it like that, building a business and improving your earnings can be more fulfilling than becoming "life rich" whatever that is. It's too cliched to say "oh he works hard, he must be unhappy and stressed" Or "look at him playing football in the back garden with his kid how life rich he must be" Lazy stereotyping.

    Oh come on! "Life rich" or "rich" the two aren't mutually exclusive.

    Nothing wrong with a bit of ambition, fella wants to get on, more power to his elbow. My advice, start getting some machinery, splitter, small tractor, advertise, build a client base. Good luck to you.

    Put it through a chipper.
  17. Mick Dempsey
    Most of the above. Using horse power on a rope to pull out a stuck machine is really naughty. Light lowering off the end I'll do most days.
  18. Mick Dempsey
    Why not put it on here, post some photos, pretend to ask if anyone knows any sites to sell it, see if you get an offer?

    arbtalker's arbtrucks thread is where your itch can be scratched.
  20. Mick Dempsey
    amenable to what?
  21. Mick Dempsey
    Never had any problems, but there you go.
  22. Mick Dempsey
    90 bhp is gutless by modern standards, and will embarrass on a motorway when loaded. But..... I've only just scrapped mine after 14 years for a newer one with more power. Was a great money maker. My 2cents, buy it, keep the hilux to pull the chipper and tools around.
  23. Mick Dempsey
    It seems to me that both trucks have a good reputation, no inherent problems, and the differences are minimal. It's really down to your gut instinct as to which you feel is the better condition truck.
  24. Mick Dempsey
    Lovely powerful saw, build quality poor, I'm sure the next one will have ironed out the problems.

    This sort of Ariel rescue?
