Thanks. Battery converters if you can find one work on simpler models. Once it gets to brushless and more electronics, they often are not usable. Chainsaws, i go all petrol. Had a cordless one, not comparable ). Many will disagree. But a hedge trimmer, being so often close to the breathing area, i find nicer to use battery operated. Although i never tried petrol one. I held petrol one in my hand, but it being considerable weight, would keep it and fumes again close to the body while operating.

a tripod ladder isn't essential - same as it isn't essential to change from using a family car to provide a hedge cutting service. A 12ft tripod goes inside the roof of a LWB Transit, or strapped on any pick up/ tipper. But a dedicated vehicle is a serious investment. Especially if you can't have an older one due to LEZ.

for batteries, they are selling converters between some brands so you might not be just limited to Einhell and Makita if you can get a converter. Not sure about lifespan though, my petrol ones are still going strong so haven't considered the alternatives yet.

The rapist, Trump, gets more mental as he goes... This mornings news included the quotes "In Europe, they call me the President of Europe" and "The (US) people are saying they would like a dictator. I am not a dictator" Very much thinking case of emperors (presidents) new clothes where he is just told any rubbish to keep him quiet - which makes me think he isn't in charge any more. Oh, and another here, 200 percent tariffs because the Chinese arn't selling him magnets (that was an unhinged clip as well)

Hmm?

Apparently it’s a great app, but I already know what they are. 👍

Hello, Bought a battery (18v) no name hedge trimmer about 5 years ago (3/4 inch tooth spacing. Used it on bramble, some really thick ones for many hours. And lots of managing thin wild overgrowth around fences ... (cuttingvthin branches). Used it in a process of clearing the land, where it could manage the branch thickness. I am fully aware that it is the border line of what it was designed for. But it stood its ground. Today it broke. Upon dissasemby found pieces of needle bearing in gear housing. No idea where that bearing was originally. Took it to pieces and binned it, since this is one off equipment, with no spare parts available. Blades were surprisingly well made, kept an edge really well. Gears to my surprise were in good shape too. Probably got twice the money worth what i paid for from this trimmer useful life. Not complaining there. Same model is not available any more. I also have cordless secuteurs (stihl asa20) and loppers to aid trimming/reduction hedge work. What is life expectancy of hedge trimmer ? (Years, working hours etc.) Do you have any suggestions to buy a new one (have makita and einhell 18v batteries) ? Stihl cordless hedge trimmer kind of ticks all the boxes, but i am not eager to jump into another battery platform.

I'm sure that the class would enjoy it anyway.

Bastard. I had a great meme picked out for this.

Back with the flock. This is why farmers can’t go on holiday. There were five chicks from mother two for a few days. Now there’s only one. Rats probably.

Good Morning All.

Calling @eggsarascal, 48 hours have elapsed since the people you know saw said buses containing around 100 asylum seekers, reading broadly it seems that the rumours started being refuted about 6 or so days ago, so there is a irregularity there and we still have no evidence apart from "my mate said..." Care to comment?

Hopefully makes the difference.. I got about 8miles from home and had to ring for a fire extinguisher as I thought it was going to burst in to flames !! Local Valtra mechanic said straight off it’s the brake servo.

Morning, rain through the night and temperature has dropped. Think we have a wet week ahead now. Tidying up the last of the storm work and a road side cut back to stop the school bus getting smacked with branches.

Windy here again, maybe sand blasted on the beach! Blew, Wails.

Morning all, Just rained here but should be dry later🤞Horse chestnut dismantle in a sloping field. Rule 1: Don’t block the gate with a stuck 2WD van before the other kit can get in.

Good morning Short week, hooray. Have fun

Good morning Stubby and all 😊
