Sounds good so far Rupe. Get a vid up if you can. Welcome back btw.

Will be interesting to see how it reacts over the next couple of years in that case... will post pics once it's been pruned.

You're making me feel old!

Another good point in the video, and true from my experience now, the two attachment holes for MRT differ in that one (the closest ) gives optimum slavk tending efficiency, while the second hole is not do good. So, those earlier saying the ZZ just swallows any slack that is intentionally put into their system, this does solve that issue.

Thanks, I think!

Yeah,it's fiddly though.

We have a new Jansen KL200 loader with log grab coming into stock should anyone be interested, £6,500 + VAT.

Not so sure Steve. There is a guy on one of the yankee forums with a petrol TW280 who is very impressed. Mobark wasted no time getting them rebadged and on the market over there. They must think there’s a market there. Homeowners will be tempted by the Jobeau and Elliet grade machine.

This is one reason why im very careful when using AI for content

You give me too much credit I think sir. I was struggling after L4, ran out of patience so rushed it and made a mistake on L5. No logic in sight!

I try to follow logic but this has me stumped. Two greens on line four, all good till then 🤔🙃 Par four for me. Wordle 1,699 4/6* ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Yes, the screens csn changed right easily too! I'll get a photo up in a mo!

Shame (in a sense) you can’t buy Defender kits. Save some labour cost on them. Unless it actually makes it more expensive by being a picking and packing nightmare. I can’t see Amazon leaping to partner with them.

I meant to add, for a project as large as a house, the timbers would usually be milled to order, to suit the structural design, rather than bought ‘off the shelf’. Andrew

I was involved with the design of an oak framed house on the West coast of Scotland, almost 20 years ago. Largest (new) oak framed project in Scotland at the time apparently. The frame was designed, fabricated and erected by one of the well known English companies who had a yard in Scotland. All the oak came from France and in those days I believe that was quite normal as there was a reliable supply of straight, knot free logs. Not sure if it’s the same now. But I also know of smaller one off projects, fabricated by ‘local’ specialists using local timber and not necessarily oak. So that is a feasible way forwards. Maybe see if there are any people qualified as visual timber graders as they may know the sawmills to go to. Andrew

Does it produce graded chip?

That’ll be a homeowner purchase over there I expect

The thing is landrover was unique and could be specd to order, that was the amazing thing about it ,the is no other brand u can do that with , thats what landrover missed out on, now u have a heap of shit that resembles a freelander that isn't worth wank, Years ago I had a lr built to order , cost 30k in 2001, along came a townie and offered 80k ... I should have sold it to him but didn't.

Morning all, Rain forecast, but sky looks ok. Hopefully putting the hedge cutter on the compact tractor and doing local job. Yesterday I took a 4 cu metre load of wet heavy chippings to a customer. Hydraulic hose failed when I operated the tipper. Came home, dragged the chip out with the digger, hose now off and got to get one made today. Keep buggering on.

It was a bespoke vehicle , thats the thing and what should of happe doe is a utility landrover and a town spec one ,
