Looks the business mate, now go and cut up some hawthorn into logs for delivery and show us it with a load on i would if i could tris but the reason i have been posting so much the last few days is i'm stuck at home with the mother of all sore backs :'( and have now just completely run out of steam. just back from the chiropractor, not funny on two accounts, a; it was frikkin sore and b; it cost a frikkin fortune. Look after your backs guys cos you just dont realise how much you use them until they're knackered. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 The old back doesn't sound too good mate. Injury or long term trouble? I have a bit of jip with mine, I blame the short feeder house on the TX32 for starting it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyboy Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 The old back doesn't sound too good mate. Injury or long term trouble? I have a bit of jip with mine, I blame the short feeder house on the TX32 for starting it off. Been bothered on and off over the years with my back Tris, if i strain my back pushing or pulling something then all the muscles in my whole back just lock up and i'm rendered useless. Putting up timberframe kits just now and all the panels come in packs of 5 and i have noticed recently they have started writing on the pack weights on them. average pack weight is 2500kg so that divided into 5 is 500kg per average panel, and their is only two of us to lift them, no much bl**dy wonder i am walking about like quazie modo young, stupid and just being greedy trying to do to much in a day, some day i might learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
