😂😂😂Ah the old won’t answer a straight question play dumb routine we know so well. What country do you think it’s from SP ??. How simple a question is that even for you.

🤷‍♂️”I think ??” You not even know what you pay for it SP, I have to say I’m shocked that an Arbtalk regular is paying that for coal, I know that odious creature Harvey ( the one handed a cushy well paying job to prop up the SNP government) from the greens fought to get log burners banned but I’d have thought a man like yourself would be using decent dried logs 🤷‍♂️!! Carbon Neutral and all that guff. Mind you I’ve never seen a single pic of you doing anything with logs or timber etc so don’t even know if you own a chainsaw.

I reckon a coal man with a bigger truck.

What do you prefer: steel carabiner or Hexarope Hands Up?

Come on SP don’t be shy where does he source it from ?? A full on eco warrior like you slagging people off for driving pick ups etc etc working on wind farms “ hypocrisy I think was the term you used” 🤷‍♂️surely you must know its source.

What background noise are talking about? you mean the voices in the music?

We used a smart rigging winch. And about the expression... There was a motorcycle driving by, and my friend heard that through the intercom. He asked me if that was a really loud fart of mine (that does happen sometimes...) I thought that would not be really clear, but I left it there anyway

What were the bits being put right out of interest?

And since we're steadfastly refusing to help the OP, let's just talk about mowers and tractors. What are alpines good for besides looking cool? When would you want one over a conventional tractor and vice versa?

Good work. What device was he winching with? This isn't a common expression in English.

Think I allready said that, the coal man.

Thank you all for your responses. It’s a learning process for me but some takeaways from it: 1. daltontrees – agreed, ‘wilful’ in modern English suggests a malicious act (which would be difficult to define) but it seems that in legal parlance it has a subtly different meaning; it appears to be the opposite of ‘unaware’, in that it refers to an action taken with knowledge that it contravenes some statute or recommended procedure, rather than an action taken in ignorance of the same. 2. Tree monkey 1682 – Local Authorities have considerable powers but in my area they fail miserably to use them; Not far from the Oak tree was a large mature Walnut tree. The owners applied for planning permission for an extension stating on the application that no trees were affected but hidden on one of the drawings was a statement that the tree was diseased and would be removed. Up went the extension and down came the tree. 3. MarkJ and waterbouy – thanks for the Arboricultural Association link, I hadn’t seen that before. When I get the Tree Surgeon’s report I will forward it to the landowner along with the AA link and a link to BS5837:2012 and copy the council Tree Officer. At least that way the landowner cannot claim acting out of ignorance.

And where does that coal come from SP ??

Would of thought electric fault, will moving throttle hold key to stop it vibrating and moving. My 150 would shut down when you dropped rev down turn out to be ignition switch, just sprayed WD40 into key hole and have never had a problem with it,

Talking to two different local plant dealers of decent size, that's where the equipments going, there paying stupid money for it as well... Near on the same price new as after 3 years hire... That's according to dealers, when I sold one of my hitachis the track bed and hydraulics were fkd, dealer still offered 10k for a 4k houred machine, plated 2007. Takeuchi tb 108, brought from a dealer for 5k ex speedy hire, ten years use, hours unknown sold for 6.5k . To be honest the used market is nuts because of exterior factors... People are paying stupid money for used machines. But that's where alot of machines are going.... Not africa and the middle East now.

It happens suddenly

Romanian market🤔, not directly comparable to UK is it? Two different economies I would of thought.

We were lucky enough to move into a house with a lovely established magnolia in the front garden. It flowered and held it's leaves well last year but this year it's struggling. About 1/4 to 1/3 of the branches have not grown leaves after winter (the others flowered) and are smaller branches are dry and crumbly to touch. Some have side branches with leaves and others without. I haven't spotted any particular pattern to it. We did some work in a flower bed nearby this spring and spread soil enricher from an Anaerobic Digestor around but otherwise have not gone near it. I am worried the tree is dying. What might be going on here, is there anything I can do to save it? It's such a lovely tree we would hate to lose it. Any help would be gratefully appreciated

When it stops is it slow or sudden,

Your groundy is making a really annoying background noise🤔

Taught to do the same? Still do it now out of habit. Anything to give a longer lasting “edge”? And it doesn’t take long.

Ok thanks for the reply I haven’t actually checked fuel tank , which do tomorrow , with the ignition switch is there a way of testing? Thanks

So finally I was able to put this to work, enjoy part 1, cause part 2 will be stuff that is not on the book

Is it even worth getting a survey on?

All the bits you have done , with relay etc are for stress control. Kubota engine are pretty basic, its probably to do with the ignition switch they are known to fail. How clean is fuel tank, could be water in fuel or crud floating around blocking the pick up pipe.
