its down to the humidity.

I thought the felling cut on the sycamore looked good was it on rate my hinge?

Stating the obvious the inlet needle is leaking, so either the metering lever is too high, or the metering diaphragm is too stiff, the rubber tipped needle is worn, orn the seat itself is worn, which is pretty normal on an old power cutter due the abrasive dust passing through the carb, when you changed the carb, was it a Chinese copy carb? at best they are not very good.

A bit of both - always have toast and marmalade/jam for breakfast but give lots away to neighbours, friends and some of my favourite customers. Seems to be well received and get swaps with some veg, fruit etc Fig chutney goes down well at my local pub on cheese night. The Bramley apples are numerous this year if not as big as usual due to the lack of rain. Apple pies and crumble will be going in the freezer soon as well.

I fycking hate the thing anyway. Heavy, loud bastard. Fcxk off. I want a 40 foot birch I can do with a zingy little 2511 and a packet of sweets.

The Microbull grab with the hydraulic capstan on it still sounds like the bollocks to me. A shame they didn't catch on more. The controls are gash and the showroom is far less easy to get to than Chesterfield. Both surmountable problems. Someone must want a small machine on tracks.

Basically it can't comply to the European Normative Standard that splices are tested in accordance with. It might be a different story in other parts of the world. I'm not saying it's unsafe to climb on, it's just difficult to prove that it IS safe. Reach out to the supplier and ask if their splicer has been trained by Courant.

Nobody has been brave enough to ask!

If you're local to me please don't being it in for repair. I've had a few machines in that have had used engine oil for chain oil. They either get picked up without me looking at them or get binned. The next down the line is veg oil machines!

Give them a ring and they have some good relationships with people and they can quite often arrange for you to go and see one nearish you.

I’ve used Ecoplugs on side growths and suckers, and they work well if applied correctly. Drilling at the right angle into the stem and ensuring the plug sits flush is key for effective herbicide delivery. They’re cleaner and more targeted than spray treatments, especially in sensitive areas where drift or overspray could be a problem.

APF 2022, Pete Bags drinking red wine through a straw. Good times.

I used to plant lots of trees in Denmark but they never used to start things until early April which seems late by UK standards it's maybe because in the past they were used to long winters. Sometimes there would be stuff to do in November/ December but not as much

Good Morning All.

I was going to say I wonder how it will go with Putin tomorrow, but after reading the last few pages I think I will leave the pedo, sex trafficker sympathises to their own devices. Bye.

Vat of Chilli to freeze up for the old folk! Teaching then how to read a packet mix! Sweet!
