Chapman also make good cutters, uk company with good customer service and part availability.

🤷‍♂️😂😂😂

Wessex,Fleming- depends what's around in your area look on marketplace to see ,horsey lot sell them off cheap enough, not much goes wrong on them

On the flails versus toppers debate, I disagree with the above statements about flails hitting stuff. Personally I find flails are more robust if you hit something because the axle is hidden. The worst case scenario is replacing some hammer flails or maybe a belt, whereas if you hit something really bad with a topper, axles and metal parts shear and you can set everything off-centre. If cutting brush and rides, you will hit something eventually. Flails do require more horse power for a given cutting width and speed. I believe an Antonio Carraro Tigre 3800 only has a 26HP engine so it will be even less at the PTO. This is really very small, so your probably looking at a 1.2m cutting width if a flail but around 2m if a topper. the mowers will tell you what the spec is. 1.2m is fine for woodland paths but painfully slow for doing large areas. Even with a topper, you can never really have enough HP for chest high grass growing in full sun. Its all a trade off. Whatever tool you get, make sure it is robust and constructed with thick metal. Some of the cheap Chinese ones are utter garbage.

Pushing NATO to increase spending, long overdue. Pushing the EU to stop buying Russian gas. Hasn’t the border been secured?

How is that obfuscation, just because it didn't align with you view of the world/America or Donald. I'm not listing anything, go watch some news to see he's resetting the world back to the days of the 80s. The live and let live, get on and earn a living instead of being a walked over nation handing out benefits like it's confetti at a wedding. Jebus, auntie definitely knows best in your household. Use your argument and list all the good things your Starmer and those EU types have done since trump was elected a 2nd time!.

Obfuscation. List please. Actual, measurable things. Positive outcomes. Numbers. Facts. That kind of thing. Can you highlight a few things that have improved across the world? Anything, even just for the average American. Be honest please. Alternatively, can you refute the assertion that we are now considerably more fcked than we were? By any metric you choose to measure it on. I sense that you're so enraptured by the Trumpian ideology that you've overlooked the fact that it's not actually delivering on the practical level. But, I'm happy to be corrected if you can put up a coherent argument. Shoot.

ago Ahh, GarethM, glad you are here, apologist for the pedos. When talking about Epstein raping 11, 12, and 13 years olds, just to remind the world of your opinions: "Grow up, you damn well know the difference between underage sex with a child and physical rape"; also GarethM thinking that having sex with a child is different to raping them. Apologist for the paedophiles. Talking of site Lunatics your team mates obsessive behaviour regarding US political personalities is obviously captured by the breathing space mentioned previously, or is it ok with you to bring daughters into the conversation 🤷‍♂️. Character and general conduct you say 🤔 glass houses and stones come to mind. Your recent repeated use of a term commonly used to describe Islamic terrorists is a fine example of your character. Basically shit stirring for a bite42, same as the constant reference to “ senior dating” by your rape obsessed team mate. Spare me the lecture, one thing I’ve never done on here is plain lie or just throw out baseless accusations. Unlike you and a couple of other notables.

You want a simple answer, yes he's actually doing some good and the rest of the world is following sanity. To use South park, it's the end of wok. Finally reality has arrived instead of talking about hurty feelings and other woke/employment daycare issues.

Distraction. Thinking about it objectively, how has he made the world a better place? Can you list even a few things that have improved since your man Donald took up office? Anything, even just for the average American. Be honest please. From what most of us see we are now considerably more fcked than we were. By any metric you choose to measure it on. Other than firing a shit load of blue haired people with pronouns, scientists and judges, what has he actually achieved? Making lots of money for himself and a handful of tech bros and cooperations doesn't count. I'm talking about quality of life for average, hardworking people, the world over.

There's a very big divide between concerned and a someone's almost addicted obsession with every fart and traffic ticket issued in America. Some of those here seem to equate everything with it being Donald's fault, the man could single handed solve world hungery/peace and probably all the other world's ills and they'd still be unhappy.

So this is the bit that I don't get. Well, one of the bits. I've seen this accusation leveled quite a few times over the course of this long discussion. The "why are you concerned about what happens in another country?" thing. Answer; because what happens in the US profoundly affects the rest of us in the world. Such is the way of things now, (we don't live in the 1500s or something), and the fact that the US is the world superpower. I can accept that subjectively you obviously love Trump. Each to his own. However, thinking about it objectively, how has he made the world a better place? Can you list even a few things that have improved since he took up office? Anything, even just for the average American. Be honest please. From what most of us see we are now considerably more fcked than we were. By any metric you choose to measure it on. And he's only been POTUS, for less than a year. I dread to think what state we'll be in in three years time. Other than firing a shit load of blue haired people with pronouns, scientists and judges, what has he actually achieved? Making lots of money for himself and a handful of tech bros doesn't count. I'm talking about quality of life for average, hardworking people, the world over. There's obviously a lot of other shit going down across the globe right now. I'm not saying that Trump is responsible for all of the bad stuff. Just that the US, as the superpower, and hence the POTUS, has a big influence on world events and geopolitics.

wow, did something happen while I was asleep? people are not only actually talking about a political subject without resorting to insults and ridiculous names,,,, but actually agreeing about it. lets see how long we can keep it up.

No it doesn't. Character and general conduct on this site buys one a lot of breathing space here. Political ideology doesn't have much to do with it. There's a lot of other people on here who are actually as right leaning as you are, if not more so. They get along with everyone just fine. If you set yourself up as the site lunatic you shouldn't be outraged if you get some flack and mockery for your antics.

I don’t want a coal powered one Dan!

How much? Walloping tree but nothing away.

The big choice is whether you go for a PROFESSIONAL range of saws like Stihl MS241, MS261 etc. These cost about £800 are solidly built, easier to replace parts, but heavier than a CONSUMER/PRIVATE saw. Consumer saws are lighter, less robust, but are much cheaper. For example the MS212 about £400. You could even go as small as a MS161 which costs about £150. This would only take a 13 inch bar though. I have a few of these cheap saws and if you took after them you can get 5-10 years out of them depending on usage. Any saw will die if you strain it or overheat it.

461 is a cracking saw.

Morning all, Fine day again here. Wife’s birthday (state pension starts today), walk the dog, gardening with er indoors then meal out later. Happy Friday.

I seem to remember, not that long ago, an unbelievable amount of tax payers money being wasted on a Covid track and trace system that never worked. I have serious doubts that they could even manage this idea, even if everyone wanted it. If only there was a way to coherence people into having one, just like the Covid jabs, if only the was an ‘invasion’ of some sort that could be stopped, but allowed to continue, that might help push it over the line.

So all of us who live here legally already with NI numbers and multiple forms of Verifiable ID being mandated to carry digital identification will stop those crossing the channel “illegally” 🤔🤔 Care to explain how you see this actually working.
