Well, it’s not that great, it’s dived in the shallow end? The waters obviously not deep enough🤔

No way, 😫you can’t throw you bags in the back of my bin lorry yourself, more than my jobs worth🙄

If it’s anything like my local council you could only use alternate weeks, do chip one week and logs the next🤔

Have a look at Brightwells auctions, they auction some ex military stuff including Quads and trailers. You might be lucky with the quads if they’ve only been used by the RAF around air bases such as Bagram, Afghanistan and could of been well maintained? If they’ve been used by a infantry unit on patrols they could of been ragged and not repaired because not economical. Luck of the draw🤔

It was a recycling bin after all🤔

Strange this🤔. The US always used to be cheaper for Forestry kit than the UK. I’ve shipped Chainsaws back in the past. I know others who have done the same recently. I presume climbing kit is cheaper as well - it’s a huge market there. Honey Bros aren’t the cheapest in the UK for all things Arb, some items yes, but other outlets are cheaper on other things and it changes from month to month, it pays to shop around. And your telling me/ us it’s the go to shop🤔. Something smells fishy Tunacat?

The tossers who buy the stolen kit “no questions asked” are just as guilty as the scum who steal it?

You would of thought so? But not with all the effluent being emptied into our rivers? You never know😳

Great for riding the log raft down the Thames🤔

Most of that stuff as a serial no of sorts?

Have any suppliers reported any thefts? There’s always thieving at these shows and I would of thought they’re all market place, eBay etc

6-7 inch chestnut could cost around £12 - £20 each? What about peeled softwood fencing postsbefore its treated(children involved?) and they’ll be regular size for stacked? Just get some treated ones for the bottom layer. Presume your going to build it Davy Crockett style?

Far more stump grinders available now than 20 years ago. It used to be mainly large, wheeled ungainly things, know lots of cheapish pedestrian ones available and the intro of small tracked grinders as opened up the market. It’s been said they’re freely available to hire where you just stick the hire rate on top of the price - no need to have one yourself to pay off and maintain. If it’s offered as an option for every tree job it’s not long before the grinders paid for. No disrespect but it’s not exactly difficult if your practical with common sense AND done the 1 days training?

The exhaust pipes are 2” diameter and I’ve got inserts similar to the old VW beetle exhausts inserted to quieten it down a bit?

It’s a 1967 TT Bonneville, as far as I’m aware all were exported to US for dirt track racing on the ovals. No lights, just rev counter, 11:1 comp ratio and yes-no silencers. Not too loud if if you keep the throttle backed off. Not as bad as a ported 500i🤔

Had the Triumph out Sunday for the first time this year. Had to get some of the kit out the shed first because she’s buried behind it🤔

Tried to pre buy tickets to this show but having no luck! Have to have an account with Forestry England but just getting the run around? I’m no Bill Gates but have been able to book tickets for other shows, flight tickets etc? Have given up on this one😫. Have had a look to find out how much it is on the day but not very obvious(£12 pre booked) rubbish web site!

Glad you explained what an Ent was? I thought you’d spelt it wrong😂

Best way to repair a small hole in a cement roof?
dan blocker replied to Clutchy's topic in General chat
There is of course various types of asbestos, roofing sheets generally being considered the least Dangerous, it expensive to handle- especially if council is involved? -
Best way to repair a small hole in a cement roof?
dan blocker replied to Clutchy's topic in General chat
It’s more than likely asbestos. The repair is down to what the council wants. When you inform them about the damage stand by for the ground sinking all around you😳. Barriers, reports, hazmat suits, asbestos outfit turning up with mobile decontamination unit, temporary poly sheeting, complete roof removal and re-sheet? That’s the worst that can happen, and don’t think the council will pay for it🤔 -
I use these and find it takes the rakers down too much. I take the flat file out and put it back in every couple of files. That shouldn’t be the case with you though if it’s not cutting.

They heard a bunch of tree guys were in the area and didn’t want the sweepings put in their bin again🤔
-
Apparently it’s nothing but good character building stuff🤔

With a machine possibly🤔, having cleaned out the stalls in cow kennels I can assure you there’s no way it’s weirdly satisfying or any other type of satisfying? It’s a shit job😳

And last year? There’s an old saying “ where there’s muck there’s money”🤔
