    I came clean with Steve about it and apologised, promised to behave a bit better.

    Oh, and there's a big white gorilla on the sofa here as well.

    No mystery, we are one and the same.

    Imo, anyone doing this job needs to be trained by professional trainers.

    I'm struggling to work out exactly what you're getting at. Maybe I'm daft.

    No, a year's enough in this game, not that complex really.

    That just the ring though, I think you have to specify the rope combination. So they're no the x-ring brand. Though clearly it's the same thing. If I'm wrong fair enough.

    Ime, the ten week course will give you a good idea of the job, 6 months to a year working for a firm is probably needed to get you anywhere near safe or competent. I'm sure some people are super talented and can do the big jobs proficiently after a 10 weeker, but I've never met or heard of one.

    I would venture that it's a distinct possibility that the flywheel moved and cause the blade to smash. I may be wrong, but it's a possibility.

    I wouldn't call putting some photos up going too far. Post 'em and let's have a look.

    Helpful Jonny. Personally, and I've only a 150 I just tension the belt by feel. Ie nice and tight. As for the concave blade thing I have used straight blades, and saw no loss in chipping power, but TW recommend concave as they say it's easier on the bearings (iirc)

    Yes I have, might sell, never use it now.

    Ha ha, never a day goes by without the moleys coming out for something.

    Another pic.

    Used mine a lot before I got the tractor. Can load cord quickly without moving just by using the slew. This thumb is hydraulic.

    I imagine the factory are all tooled up for knocking out 230s.

    €400 Worth of tyre from the compact tractor decided it had enough yesterday, leaving us to handball tonnes of cord. Goddammit!

    So do I, he's very watchable, and listenable. A couple of women on it would be no bad thing either.

    I'm sure there is, and it's filled with threads like this. 1; Moaning about being undercut by immigrants. 2; "I'm 65 and want to become a prostitute, am I to old?" 3; The use of one hand, is it ever acceptable? 4; Should I have to post flyers if the client finishes early?
  23. Mick Dempsey
    I'd have ignored him, or tried to. Who needs a punch up?
  24. Mick Dempsey
    Sounds like a charming area.

    No tea/coffee. That's not me btw. We're having a break now so he's gone inside. As soon as the machine starts he'll be out there, a spectre at our shoulders.
