  1. Past hour
  2. Who is in your photo btw? Got it, Craster!
  3. ok, how 'bout this'n then.
  4. This afternoon I was sitting watching rugby when I thought I will Get some of the ash out of the stove and lay an fire with paper and kindling ready for next time we need it . Bearing in mind its been out for two days . So I did it . 20 mins later it all catches light and burns away ! I did not see any embers or anything glowing . Laugh !
  5. Something thats been on my mind… That ad for Nationwide, where the rich banker takes a call from his spoilt little bitch of a daughter in Antibes asking for money to fly home.. Then the Romesh Ranganathan lookalike tells him it’s not a scam etc. The last ad in the séries showed her gloating about her mother (his ex wife) getting reamed out by her yoga teacher, basically calling her real dad (and his employer) breadheads, you know the one. Anyway, let the ungrateful bitch hitch home, or pick grapes to earn enough for a coach back across the Channel.
  6. Just ringing up craploads of willow for family today, for a solid 5 hours of work, between moving it and all that, only 4 tanks through the 462. Must be a 25" bar working it's magic😂

    Hi Pat, Is there a number or email I can contact you on?
  8. I let my nephew take the MK1 back to the UK when he left, the junior uses the MK2, though he has recently started using a micro-pulley under a prussik, which he likes.
  9. Today
  10. Ok, you were talking about track and trace hence my response in regards to it. As mentioned by others a cashless society is more of a concern IMO. Your bank gets hacked, your card won't work and your screwed. I always use cash where possible, especially for small business like the corner shop but when doing the big shop it's easier to use a card than carry £200 about, especially since there are less and less ATMs about. I was reading something the other day about all the cyber attacks and that AI makes it far easier for the hackers. Big corps targeted atm like JLR, airports etc but it might not be long before they can and will attack everyone and anyone.
  11. Erm, think you might be reading someone else's experience, not saying I don't like flails for the job they can do or the relatively low damages from it eating things. Low hp tractors such as the op are definitely topper type, without it becoming tediously slow. I will be going back to a topper with a smaller fergy tractor, my 80+ hp with a 2m flail on ground that makes a goat clench when you're 14ft off the floor doing overgrown scrub is boring. Trying to get back to managed pastures, flying around after a bit of sheep grazing.
  12. Yeah, on the few occasions I've used one that did happen and did annoy a bit. Offset by the general luxuriousness though. I enjoy a quick taste of the high life if someone else has one.
  13. I have had the opposite experience. 20+ years ago briefly used a finger bar mower on a Forsdon Power Major, then a disc mower on same tractor, then a 6ft Major topper, well built and solid. For the last 15 years I have had a 5ft hammer flail on the back of my 40hp Kubota STV40. The flails have picked up a metal shovel, a 12ft metal gate, hit 8-10 inch diameter logs in the undergrowth. None of these events have damaged to flails. Today I was flailing a paddock and had to crown raise a sycamore at the edge of it. Maximum diameter of branch was 2.5 - 3 inches. I just put the brash and branches on the ground and pulverised it with the flail. Italian made, not Chinese.
  14. Yes, is that the right terminology? You set yourself up in postion, then try to move a bit for whatever reason and the rope has trickled through the ZZ and you are locked in place.
  15. That it does it itself?
  16. Hate the self-tending of the ZZ.
  17. Hi I can drive , 20 yrs experience, cs 38,39 and 41. All my own gear and saws what are you day rates regards pat
  18. Women and children first is the generally accepted norm with most people 🤷‍♂️ Two women die during failed Channel crossing attempt APPLE.NEWS Authorities say the pair died off the coast of northern France after about 100 people set off by makeshift boat.
  19. Ok fair enough, good to know.
  20. They are very different in construction and feel. I have both
  21. Just looked that up, never seen it before but looks really good. I really like the smooth progressive release on a hitch, but went for RRP to allow switching from DRT to SRT. Seems the Freexion is also designed to allow that. Tempting, really tempting.
