A twin wheel toyota dyna nearly destroyed my spine. To be avoided on bumpy back roads at all costs. fine around town though, until you forget to brake for a speed bump! Cabstar is far more comfortable, relatively speaking.

Generally speaking wasps are aggressive little pricks and will steal nectar or young larvae, often damaging comb in the process (from experience with honeybees) I'd be surprised if they were living in harmony with the bumbles, more likely that they're robbing them. They have their place, being aphid catchers, but I find it hard to tolerate them.

He's not, but fair play for making light of it. Hopefully the op finds someone willing to help him out.

What’s the best processor to make accurate 6 inch logs
Conor Wright replied to gensetsteve's topic in Firewood forum
I've the same issue with a palax machine. Theres a brand called duun. I think they lower the cut log on a cradle. May be wrong on that... Its a while since I looked. -
I know nothing of that and will stay out of this Wales v Scotland slagging match (if I were a betting man I'd have a tenner on the jock though!)

Maybe practise what you preach. As I said. If you can make that staircase for 2k I'll have two please. Not out of scraps of secondhand steel now. I wouldnt even want it powder coated at that price, just lightly blasted and primed for transport purposes will do. Obviously you dont need any information about ceiling height, ope space, number of treads etc, you've already covered that.. never mind, I'll build the rest of the house around the staircase, may be the cheapest way around it. This is great, what else do you do? Tarmac? But seriously, if you're working that cheap something is wrong.

2k? I'll have 2 please. (One for our own house and one to sell for 4k so I can walk up and down a free staircase every day!)

No wonder it's been taking herself so long to come back with my beer, stopping for photo shoots and me at home thirsty. Women, eh?!

A sheet of ply wherever you need to pivot the machine may help. I presume it's only an issue where you're turning?

I was eating my breakfast, not any more. Thanks.

Murphy power equipment galway. I'd hazard a guess it's the very same stuff with a different label.

Woodmizer. Lt15. Have a love hate relationship with it. Doesnt help that I often find myself maxing it out on bigger logs.

I use this now, not in the larger saws but in the trimmers and little echo. Cheaper than branded Aspen by about 25% Alkylate Petrol 2-Stroke - Best fuel BESTFUEL.SE 2-Stroke Alkylate petrol has been used for many years as an...

It's a 660 I have too, too early to tell, I've cut a few big rings (no more gay jokes please) with the 880, seems an animal to cut with the 404. When I get to milling with it I'll post my progress. I'm expecting an improvement in speed on stuff the 660 could have handled anyway, but it was bought for the few bits that were too big for anything else. Could be a while before I get it set up as were blowing the alaskan budget on a respray for the camper at the moment.

All I take is abuse, most of which comes from my missus! You go off and enjoy your slice. I'll keep the rest of the cake for myself! Anywho, enough of the schoolyard humour, you in the market for an 880?

Yep, bar chain and vat included. I will say that he did me a very good deal as I buy a lot of consumables, most of my small kit and chains there, I believe him when he says he has more out of selling a new ms170 at its list price, but he knows I'll be back. It works both ways.. My point is that they're still out there if you ask around. Wouldnt be rushing off across the water for one just yet.

No, that's just the tip, I'll get some vaseline.

I bought one from a dealer three weeks ago, theres still a few out there. €1600

Yep, surrounded by peat bog here. We were spoiled this year with dry weather earlier in the year, had the hilux in places you'd be able to snorkel in now that it's raining again! To keep things relative to the thread, the hilux is on cooper at3s. Hard to fault them, it's my third set, averaging 40-50k with mostly road use, regular towing and occasionally going properly off road.

That was optimistic of you in fairness!

Can this tree be saved after severe intentional damage?
Conor Wright replied to Amy Foot's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Sorry to say, but it's not going to survive that. The trees ability to pass nutrients and water between roots and foliage has been literally cut off. Excuse my language but what kind of dickhead would do that to someone elses tree?! Risking going off on a rant here so I'll just leave it. I'd advise removing the tree sooner rather than later. -
Soft terrain, yes. They'll go anywhere a 4x4 could. Uneven or rough ground, less so. A bit of common sense and careful positioning usually overcomes most obstacles.

The real genius was their tracking system. Just follow the trail of oil until you arrive at where the thief was forced to abandon it due to mechanical failure!

Which forestry boot for working on steephillsides ?
Conor Wright replied to cessna's topic in General chat
It's a tough question, as everyone has their own experiences with various brands. The best boot I've had in terms of fit are stein Krieger d30s. I'd be lying if I said I'd done much steep hillside work in them though. -
It's a land rover. A tracked mewp is more versatile imo and a good, fresh defender with decent mewp will be about the same price
