  2. Another child’s life destroyed by these illegal immigrants and more shame on the police trying to hide the fact! | James Harvey WWW.LINKEDIN.COM Another child’s life destroyed by these illegal immigrants and more shame on the police trying to hide... If true the police and in particular the officer who made the decision to request the nationality of the perpetrators be withheld should absolutely be held accountable. Kidnapped and raped at 12years old, that’s a burden that child will never stop carrying.

  5. You won't earn bugger all in Arb with your current tickets or indeed the tickets you plan to get. You just won't be fast enough. Consider doing a trade such as plumber/ sparky. By the time you are trained in those fields you could go start your own gig earning propper money. That might take 4 years,however if you started your arb career tomorrow, four years down the line you might be a competent climber but competing with 22 year olds who have the same experience as you. Best of luck.

  7. From a personal point of view and 33 years of looking after similar terrain as you indicated, my opinion is any choice of a "one machine for all jobs" can result in a poor compromise of all rather than excelling at any or every task. I found it much better to have a small light but powerful enough machine and have the ability to choose the implement to attach as the job/terrain/conditions dictate. there isn't going to be much about for that budget but with a bit of searching it should be possible to find a flail, a mower and a small garden tractor, kubota, iseki, etc. other uses can be found for a small tractor too, pulling a trailer, a sprayer can be attached, many implements can be ran from the pto, or from hydraulics.

    Chickens?

    I'd rather starve than eat KFC, it's just deep fried sh1te eaten mostly by overweight idiots.
  9. No mate, people tend to use more than is needed which creates more problems as it builds up in the gate mechanism and binds with water/sap. DMM recommend duck oil.
  10. Auger bit, obviously. A helical bit will just use up all your battery warming the wood around the hole. Experience of drilling railway sleepers says be careful against hitting tough wood like buried branch stubs, I nearly broke my wrist when the drill kept rotating but the bit stopped dead. Ideally you need the hole to be not much bigger than the bolt, so keeping the hole straight is crucial. Quite a big ask over 2 feet. Can be awkward up a tree with sometimes no way of pushing on the drill. Use a bit with a small threaded pilot tip they really drag the bit into the wood.

  12. I wouldn't say a 62 year old building was a "new build", privacy has been as it currently is for that time, either it hasn't been a problem for previous owners or they have been prevented by doing as you are inquiring ie; planting a tree to improve your privacy. personally I would make inroads with neighbors as to any problems they may have experienced with the local council or indeed each other, try not to give information as to your tree planting intentions. explore your councils website too, they can differ dependent on areas in regulations and how they implement them. good luck.

  17. A rip off, but with a swivelling chute which the greenmech misses.. Would you mind sending a couple of pictures of how it attaches? Also curious of how much of a clone it is to the greenmech, as in would it mount the same
  18. The medical is no big deal, I have had to do one every year since I reached 65 to retain my HGV, only expense is the medical itself which is £60-£100, the license gets renewed FOC. Bob

  20. Hi, thanks for the enquiry we will have a look and see, but it’s doubtful we have any parts for the BP1, as it’s a rare model! But will have a look for you and get back to you. Thank you again!
  21. Never been asked for tickets to hire a chipper, just money. Agree with the above. I'd add depending on access to the hedge and what you're doing with the chip will tell you whether tracked or wheeled would suit better.
  22. I'd love to be able to tell you I don't have a tab open for pink workshop overalls but here we find ourselves.
  23. You changing that for a new model already? Or going back to running one machine across sites? looks a great deal for someone in the arb trader 👍🏻

  25. You’re maybe alright because you’re mixing it yourself. Given it was multiple issues with spark plugs I think their mix is just a bit rich. Could have been a batch or an age issue, I don’t know. I mentioned it to the guy in the husky shop (not my usual) and he just seemed bamboozled. The owner of my usual husky dealer said they thought the husky fuel was shit and that’s why they stock aspen instead 😅

  27. Had a day on my old kubota today forwarding timber out that we cut a few months back, not the driest of woodlands but still traveling well at half 5 on last load, bit rough in places so slowly slowly wins the race and it wernt a short haul either any where between 500 & 600yds ,
  28. That might be tricky - if homeowner has an accident at the saw mill place of work, it might count as industrial accident... HSE piles in asking for risk assessments, suitable PPE, supervision, training... many places if they realise don't want that responsibility. Same as collecting wood from a yard, might struggle to convince someone to use a saw there for oversized wood
