Enjoy. It is a beautiful City.

i know, it has been like a city sights tour this week!

Morning Folks! On account of a soggy lung, I got a free loft insulation and new boiler from HMG. But I had to empty the loft, amazed at how much crap I 'stored' in there! Plenty of tip trips over the next few days and loads of stuff going on evilbay or market place! Have a good day yourselves! Wife, Runts.

Good morning All 😊

Good Morning Good on you Doug. Q: Shouldn't you be working rather than gadding around sightseeing? :-) Have an easy one.

Morning all . Happy Thursday . 🙂

Morning all. Bleary eyed in the Borders this morning after another long day yesterday. Visited a few more landmarks though. It's possible that today brings a long awaited delivery for us, exciting day, watch this space... Have a good one folks.

with my non tipping trailer for hedge cuttings i would put a tarp down then about a foot of cuttings then another tarp and so on then 2 of us could pull each tarp off in turn. an old waggon driver i new used a double wagon hitch to get extra pull don't know how he did it i had problems doing one even after been shown several times

I would go diesel over petrol any day of the week, they just chip better, petrol seems to lack torque. as said you can’t go wrong with the kubota v1505 in most chippers and pretty bomb proof.. only problem I’ve ever had with one and I’ve had 8 machines with them in is once had to do the crank seals on one machine.

I can see the logic behind an impact driver for something like this, you’re limiting the torque that can be transferred to you, avoiding the whole thing binding up and bogging down. But optimally I’d still go for one of the big 36v drills. The makita twin 18v has more torque and higher speeds than the Milwaukee or dewalt I believe, and is nails. Mines been thoroughly abused and hasn’t skipped a beat.

the above post was from early on, forgot to press the button... anyway , im going to look at a TW230 this week, has around 800 hours and looks ok from the photos , it was this or a Forst st6 which was a lot cheaper what to look out for, any one of two things .. I know engines

hi all thanks for the replies some useful info .. Im still on the fence which way to go, but going to have to make a decision soon .. been thinking .. if the prices of a TW150 was cheaper then id be happy with that, but seems like a lot of money for an old machine , tho I have found someone who sells them fully refurbished , Have seen a fair few Forsts now, some scruffy looking ones, but cheaper than the TW230 about the same price as TW150 .. I have been looking at some TW230 and I prob could stretch to around 10k Something id like to ask is there much init between petrol and diesel ? what would you pick and why ..? thanks ..

thanks for all the replies... and encouragement!!

I keep meaning to put a steel biner on my SRT rope end. Sometimes feel uneasy about sideloading when I'm choking. The weight might be nice for throwing it ahead too.

I am still scratching my head a bit about climbing on a steelie. Can't see that it's not strong enough, just that I've always used ally for climbing, steel for rigging, and never use rigging gear for climbing.

My favourite bit of television on race relations btw. And the whole series is good anyway. It's the same recycled plots as all the other legal drama/comedies like Rumpole, Silk etc, set in the 1990s, with excellent music and pop culture references.

Exactly that if you measure intelligence by a spreadsheet you will fail if your intelligence is knowing what roots, berries and animals will kill you. Can't say either is better than the other, just applied to different skills.

In western legal systems, rights are broadly based on an ability to own oneself and advocate for a property right to yourself. That's why animals don't have rights, don't have a legal personality etc (so you have to set up a trust with a human trustee if you want to leave everything to your cat). I asked a while ago on here, probably in this thread when someone was calling someone racist, what they define racism as. I define it as when you think a certain group of people are unworthy or incapable of self ownership. If they fall below the threshold of being human in a legal ish sense. So you can dislike blacks, Indians, whoever as much as you like but you're not a racist until you think they can be owned as property because they're not capable of being their own property. I find generally blacks are thick and Asians are clever (though unfortunately dishonest with it). I always take the time to speak to blacks I cross paths with and see if I can find a spark of European style intellect. I've never even got as far as I did with Oldfeller up the page. I don't think they're programmable.

Good question. Don't know. You'd hope he'd have addressed that in the research (and the people whose research he relied on did too) or they'd be just as guilty of peddling weak science as the people who wailed and gnashed teeth at him. I've not read the whole thing. Now it's buried in the canceling. There's no such thing as right or wrong in this instance. It's just suitability for your environment. If you compete for resources at Canary Wharf, you need to be western intelligent. If you want to find water and eat the right berries in Limpopo, you might need to be African intelligent. Anecdotally, I nearly always find blacks thick. I think like a westerner though of course.

Theres no such thing as a chipper that's too big for the job, just too big for the jobsite. engine wise Kubota V1505 are great. TW150 are solid machines but the bearings are a constant battle, and theyre not exactly going to set the world alight chipping wise
