  1. https://www.lbc.co.uk/radio/presenters/darren-adam/naz-shah-shadow-equalities-minister-anti-semitism/ Not only is she a proven anti Semite she was quoted saying the grooming victims "should be quiet for the sake of diversity" OMFG - Corbyn is a stark raving lunatic. She could be our women and equalities shadow minister OMFG it's beyond belief.
  2. Anyone happen to know if you can turn this thing 90 degree round a corner if you have a width clearance of approx 1 meter? Would be a HUGE bonus if I can. Ta
  3. Oh well just put a deposit down on an ex demo M500. It's done! Will buy it in the next 3 months.
  4. Totally agree! Subs should always get the customer to ring the boss. It does 2 things; allows whoever's running the show to amend schedule and plan/ alter logistics. Makes customer acutely aware that YOU ALL KNOW they are taking a liberty. Time is not free and no one has an unlimited supply. Biggest pet peeve of them all. What planet do people live on that they think at the end of a job you'll want to do another half hour for free rather than going home to chill or on to the next job. Just don't get it at all.
  5. When I needed to kill of a sex drive I'd always try to think of Ferguson from Prisoner Cell Block H
  6. how the hell do you determine whether the axe head or handle hits the target? If someone can give me a definitive answer, and guidance, I will add a wall axe to my personal armoury of weapons in prep for the zombie apocalypse.
  7. Does it flip over if you turn wheel too sharply at 30mph like the last one did?
  8. Yeah it can be done. I've done it a few times. Took down a whole row of 30+ft Leylandi once that where over hanging 3 sheds with side branches up to a ft thick. Zero training or experience and minimal equipment which included no top handle saw. Took an age though and was not enjoyable but it got done...
  9. 145kg? Walking backwards up ramps? Or walking forward pulling from behind with something to grab hold of in front of you?
  10. Ah, I see what you mean. Yeah would be handy although not very good for long logs. I will start with a Stein arb trolley I reckon cos it's not a massive amount of money and stowing is compact and it's versatile and bomb proof. I can't imagine chip will weigh more than 100kg per load and that can be pulled not too much problem. Gonna fit a manual winch to the front of the trailer though cos I don't reckon my labourer will get it up the ramps on his own.
  11. I used to own a hi tip mini dumper. Too heavy, too slow, too easy to smash guttering, bricks etc off peoples house. Conversion from carrying chip to logs take too long. Needs suitable storage, maintenance etc etc etc and costs a hell of a lot more than an arb trolley.
  12. Cos you're not an amoral parasitic bottom feeder. Shame you didn't sue the crap out of her.
  13. Whoever said 200+ for a wheel barrow wasn't a pisstake? But I agree that it's worth the money. Seen as I can't make it cheaper, which I'm sure they've brainstormed... I disagree that you'd get 10 years though. I would say lifetime if you have a welder and aren't frightened of a bit of grease once in a while. Yes it is worth the money!
  14. Yeah I know what you're saying. I have 2 Belle wheel barrows with puncture resistant tyres at £200+ a pop. 2 years old now both of them and going as strong as ever. Killed me to get them but I did my research and after years of spending £70 every 6 months on a wheel barrow I pulled the trigger and glad I did.
  15. This looks better https://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?item=16796 EDIT - Too wide
  16. pretty much exactly what I need. The correct sized waste bag could be rigged to fit on it for chip also. HOWEVER... the cost is a joke. 400+ for 2 puncture resistant wheels and some welded steel is a piss take.
  17. You are probably right.
  18. Bloody link wont work. £70 Image here
  19. Cheap https://www.amazon.co.uk/TecTake-Hand-Trolley-Wagon-XXL/dp/B00AC25BRI/ref=pd_sbs_328_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00AC25BRI&pd_rd_r=d1118d06-8138-11e8-ad2a-8df02f99e812&pd_rd_w=ysSri&pd_rd_wg=cKsuB&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_p=5179604776422437276&pf_rd_r=5KP76QM5M3XE2KMDVH9X&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=5KP76QM5M3XE2KMDVH9X

Will take 0.2m3 of chip weighing 100kg max per load. Winched up ramps onto trailer. Bobs your uncle... I can just about pull up 100kg up my ramps onto trailer but it's the limit of my strength. Multiple loads would get tiring. I have a simple manual winch that I can bolt to the top of the cage I'm thinking. Jo Beau into garden. Trolley into garden. Chip out load by load. Seems a damn site easier than dragging branches outside to chip and saves so much of a clean up after.... What do your reckon?
  21. Great ass. Squatting and picking up bits of tree is good for that. I should know, my ass is spectacular. Speaking purely physically, not metaphorically of course. I'm not that arrogant.. ?
  22. Not a chance got a grower not a shower. Freezing cold = shrivels up to a twig and berries Exerting myself = shrivels up to a twig and berries Slightly dehydrated = shrivels to twig and berries
  23. Yeah I think it's the machine for me. As I've stated. If looked after it would be worth keeping after expansion to a bigger chipper for it's versatility and light weight if one had the storage space etc. It's very useful and not half bad as an all round chipper it seems. Keep me going anyway until I can afford the Forst XR8 ? Fencing is diabolical BTW. I hope you weren't responsible ?
  24. I'd potentially get a second hand one yes but I don't mind buying new either so I can look after it properly and keep in good order.
  25. What do you mean? Just to get a feel? I realise that a 6 inch chipper will be quicker and better but I can't get one in my van and I want to be able to get into gardens also with ease. How much difference can there be. I have watched videos of the Jo Beau in operation and it seems a very good little chipper.
