  1. If councils bothered looking after tree stock it wouldn't be so bad, so problem is, land is saturated with water, clay soil and a bit of wind , yippee trees blown over . Did make me smile when you had 'volunteeer' tree surgeons out- so not that great !
  2. The are specialist rams courses ,that means once you've done it ,you'll never miss anything out...leaving yourself wide open should anything go wrong!!
  3. Go one a course for it, as thes no point asking everyone here. The should be a course for rams and how to write them, then u won't bugger up .
  4. Id not learn Latin...assuming id i was on the building site id talk to the Romanians on site (fluent in latin) and ask them whats needed. Id teach Romans how to make decent steel so they could do forestry efficiently, id not want to advance them to much as they were quite advanced and I dont think we know or understand how intelligent they were .
  5. Oh thats interesting, I would have just thought it would just be there diesel line and they'd rebadge a petrol engine
  6. I can only remember it was a g&t well.i was at them when I was 13, After that was vauxhallbrava , 4x4 pickups, very similar to the hilux ? Was only a teen and then was on to another company
  7. P100 were good , g&t had one when I did work experiance
  8. These were grey/ silver of the ex 80s , 90s ex sse ..what ever the electricity board was back then . Not national grid
  9. Its probably brings and Stratton, rebadged. It won't be kholer engine as they , I believe are still tide in with lombardini... hence kholer diesels
  10. I believe my ex boss, had a rb 4x4 with arial platform on ,slow, noisey, wide, top heavy and crap ...dont know what it was ever meant to be poor man's mog or landrover ?
  11. They weren't jacked up like that ,these were the stock units , 1960s units not later 80s like that .. these were the above engines and both autos, has it got to be a 1980s unit .
  12. Is it that horrid ,wide, crude looking thing that can only carry 250kgs ? Either a v8 or a straight 4 configuration? If so one of my friends sold one recently ! The is someone also locally that messes around with them local to me but dont think he sells them
  13. Can you not buy one in uk? Mates just sold the v8 varient ?
  14. Marlow used to be great, but its on par cost wise with yale cordage rope, both have limited stretch, good for knots etc, Also I have an old decommisioned rope and its rather strong to put it mildly. Only problem fault with marlow can snag on leylanndii gads/ sharp stubs
  15. It burns well once dry
