I learned quickly when I was younger

    Its green heart ,often used for piles in costal areas ,can be a tosser to cut as it wears down chainsaw, chain saw dust is sandy ,burns on open fire ok . Tbh not even worth ringing up for the fire
  14. Tree monkey 1682
    Not a bad price, dependant on mog spec, but considering how much 3.5 ton trucks are and towable chippers .
  15. Tree monkey 1682
    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 !

    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!!
  17. Tree monkey 1682
    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 .

    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 .
  19. Tree monkey 1682
    Oh thats interesting, I would have just thought it would just be there diesel line and they'd rebadge a petrol engine
  20. Tree monkey 1682

  24. Tree monkey 1682
    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 ?
  25. Tree monkey 1682
    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 .
