Ive not seen that sort of setup on the back of the Zetor, but it looks really well thought out for all sorts of situations.

Jebesus, people having a meltdow about Tesco's and Christmas. Me.

I have the venom 22 and I can highly recommend it, it has handled many gnarly lumps with ease.and the ability to split in both the horizontal and vertical positions has come in very handy, especially on larger lumps.

Rock Machinery Venom C-Series 15 tonne. £1375 all in. I got mine last week and have been very impressed. The 22 and 30 versions would be even better, but I was tight on storage space.

Excellent graphic design.

Hey, not looking to break the bank. What petrol powered log splitters would you recommend? Looking for one that is capable of splitting rings with knots and branch unions! Not just straight grained demo logs!🤣

The young blonde was tired of being thought stupid because of her hair colour , so decided to dye it brunette. Almost immediately she noticed a difference, people treated her better. Full of new-found confidence, she went for a drive in the country one afternoon. Passing by a farmer's field, she saw a huge flock of sheep grazing. Entranced, she stopped to watch for a bit. The old farmer walked over to her car, pleased to think his flock had the attention of such an attractive young lady. Bubbling with enthusiasm, she commented on how many sheep he had, " There are so many, but I bet I know how many you have", she said. "If I'm right, can I have one?" Figuring she wouldn't be able to accurately count so many animals all moving around grazing, the farmer said, "Sure... what's your best guess?" Looking at the flock appraisingly, the young lady ticked off numbers on her fingers for a moment, then exclaimed "312, not counting the ram, which would be 313 in total .." The old farmer, after picking his jaw up off the ground , said sadly "I have no idea how you got that number, but you're right.. a deal's a deal, go get the one you want". Smiling smugly to herself, off she went to get her sheep. Tucking one under her arm, she crossed the fence and was struggling to load it in her car when the farmer walked up behind her. Smiling himself in spite of the circumstances, he asked her "How about giving me a chance to win her back?" Feeling supremely confident, she looked him in the eye and said, "Sure !" 😎 Stroking his beard, and looking at her closely, the farmer said" Ok..how about this.. if I can guess your real hair colour, can I have my dog back?"

How long is a piece of string? There is not a simple/single answer to your question as there are way too many variables. My only piece of advice, after dealing with an enormous number of woodland owners who went ahead and bought a piece of woodland or planting land shelling out from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands pounds only to have a very rude awakening when reality hit them in the face (and more importantly in their wallet): Do spend a grand or two on a proper, independent woodland appraisal conducted by a professional who hasn't got a skin in the game and wants to sell you something (besides some of their time)! Do this before you part with any other monies or sign anything - don't get too excited before you read and understood it. The non-forestry estate agents have not got a clue what they are selling, none of the conveyancers will have the faintest either. Go to the forestry agents and ask them for a recommendation instead. The likes of woodlands.co.uk have some interesting moral codes, my latest is a lotted conifer block somewhere in the SW sold as Douglas fir (seen all their paperwork!) which was in fact larch, not 15 miles from an active SPHN; strangely not a word on this anywhere... If you are willing to invest a lot of money and time in a piece of land you better make sure you fully understand what are you getting into first, especially if you are new to it; spending a little money upfront will truly pay dividends.

Giving away a horse A retiring farmer in preparation for selling his land, needed to rid his farm of animals. So he went to every house in his town. To the houses where the man is the boss, he gave a horse. To the houses where the woman is the boss, a chicken was given. He got toward the end of the street and saw a couple outside gardening. "Who's the boss around here?" he asked. "I am." said the man. "I have a black horse and a brown horse," the farmer said, "which one would you like?" The man thought for a minute and said, "The black one." "No, no, no, get the brown one." the man's wife said. "Here's your chicken." said the farmer.

I see the children responded, so will post again on topic.

And neither should it be.

Rob to the rescue again! The man’s knowledge of bar/chain/sprocket combos is unmatched. He has come a long way from the fresh-faced youth I met at an arb show a couple of decades ago! Hope you’re well mate!

halfway through treating her to new brakes,master and slave cylinders,etc, one side done, probably be doing the other side in a foot of snow if weather reports are anything to go by.

Which I can confidently say isn't illegal btw.

I think it’s as soon as possible from what he said. I know nothing of this subject, but he’s told me it’s 63m and needs 4 binders on each run? If you could let me know an idea on price I can pass that on. The location is Lugwardine near Hereford. Thanks.

At about 2pm more than life itself.

Predicting the questions, but what are the ground conditions?

Hello all, wondering if someone could help me. We’ve been approached to quote for a tree planting project large than what we would usually do (couple of thousand hedge whips at a time of which i just stick a price on) I’m being asked for 1600 whips per hectare planted with 1.2 meter guard plus 1.35 meter stake zip tied on. What would be the labour per plant on this? I’m reading somewhere that it’s only £1.00. I may be wrong but wouldn’t it be really good going if a bloke even managed to do 200 in a day of this type of planting? Any advice would be great as I don’t see how I can pay men well and still make money myself! thank you in advance

Mate iv just installed it, total game changer thank you

Put the battery on charge,see what the voltage is. Remove the fuel filter and inspect. Check all your connections on the fuel line,you might find it weaping somewhere. If that all checks out,join a clear bit of hose from the supply side of your filter to the fuel line itself.Providing you have refilled the fuel filter housing the chipper should fire and pull diesel up past the clear bit of hose.It might need to be bled at an injector or it might not. Now you know you have diesel from the tank to the filter and from the filter to the pump.leave it and see if air appears in the clear hose up at the filter housing. Providing the housing is at the highest part of the fuel line.Thats all if you just dont want to replace the fuel line which you might end up doing.There is a slight,slight chance there is something floating around in the tank that blocks the end of the fuel intake but thats an outside chance imho. Kubotor engines did have pretty weak lift pumps,I have replaced a couple with electric lift pumps but the symptoms were the engine farted and hunted rather than were hard to start.

That was uncalled for. The guy was only cycling around in his birthday suit.

Had the Echo Pole Pruner something like a PT2400 a few years ago with the extra 1.5m (?) extension - huge reach but a bit unwieldy. Machine is long gone but I still have the extension in our unit somewhere if anyone would be interested at £75.00 ?

Boneless shoulder (on offer in Asda), dauphinoise potatoes and beans from mothers garden! Nice....

Really difficult to compare battery/petrol. I have both versions in chainsaw/Kombi, and I'd say that deep down, petrol has more low down guts. For use with a strimmer head, I'll pick up the battery every single time. Saw blade, unless we're cutting big stuff, battery wins for ease of use. Pole saw, well it's probably even closer, but petrol shades it for sheer grunt. However, being able to demand power at the press of a button, in near silence................................... Sorry, I have no knowledge of proper pole saws, I'm down here with amateur status. My son has a battery pole saw at his place of work, which I want to wave about, as well as the cow horn strimmer.
