Nice qoute, ent heard that since uni

Cheers, he's not bad, the wife was away this week so the ginger muppet had to come to work with me! Luckily it was the kind of job where I could let him have a run round during breaks!

Started a big job this week on what will be a care home complex, some lovely holm oak to take down, a lime to pollard and a lot of conifer and yew to take out, it'll be a two weeker! Got my new groundy on the job though!

Alright chaps I'm in the market for a new harness. Anyone with any experience of the TM superlight, in comparison with the standard one? Thank in advance

Depends on the size, I coppice some for a friend, goes for stock fencing and a decent price, anything over goes for biomass £20-25 p/t

Nice!

Yeah my grandad used to do it to stop it freezing! I think 50l will do the pump no good though 💥

We are off on holiday on Monday, so my job was to tidy the house whilst my wife picked up a few holiday essentials and dropped the dog off at the in laws. Roughly 20mins after she left I get a call... A very nervous voice on the other end of the phone explains to me that she has managed to stuff the tank with as much of the wrong fuel as physically possible! As if it wasn't bad enough by the end of our conversation somehow this has become my fault! Anyway, I told her not to start the car and to leave on the petrol station forecourt until I could get there! I managed to get hold of a siphon kit and some 25l fuel cans from a mechanic friend and head down there! I spend the 15 mins trying the get the pipe Through the filler cap and into the tank.. Anyway as turns out peugeots have an anti theft gauze preventing fuel from being taken from the tank. Bloody French I think to myself! So I spend the next 25 minuets faffing around attempting to locate the fuel filter, thinking if I have to draw the fuel through here I may end up bleeding and re priming the system here on the forecourt. (Not preferable). Then I remember when hoovering out the car a few months back I found an inspection hole in the floor underneath the near side rear seat! Take the cover off and Roberts your mothers brother, there lies the fuel pump, disconnect the out pipe connect my siphon bottle and away we go! A lot of pumping and 51 litres later the fuel tank is as empty as it's going to get, so I brimmed it with diesel and hoped for the best! Anyway that is the way to turn being in trouble (even if through no fault of you own) into serious brownie points and save the £200 quoted by the RAC, to do it for me. I even stuck the contaminated fuel in my old shooting truck to save that too! Win win! Anyone else's life like this?

I like the 362, plenty of go, and i think its pretty versatile, maybe a tad on the heavy side. Never used a 560, would love to get my hands on one though. After using a 550 for a week solid i was rather impressed, worked hard with no real trouble, was nicely ballanced and fairly frugal.

Meindl Airstreams for both! IMO Comfortable, Tough, Waterproof, Smart. What else do you need.

1)MS 362 2)Trousers< Airstreams, helmet 3)Gransfors small forestry axe

Always been BFG muds for me too! Having said that, i stuck some insa turbo saharah's on my shooting truck this time and they're bloody brilliant. noisey on road, and admittedly re-moulds, but clear well in deep mud and i have really given them a hammering all round since january. very impressed for the money - only £350

Yeah not bad 50 odd over pea stubble, 18 of which were feral, they weren't really committing to the deeks though. I've had better days, but better than being dragged round the shops or watching the box I guess.

Successful?

Just got in from a spot of pigeon shooting, dog fed and just ordered takeaway!
