Well Elon Musk didn't pull any punches in his litle slot did he 😂

Would you use the BDB if it was CE marked?

Again, another rambling…… On from the skid steer idea, after chatting to a few people my way who run both I’ve decided a digger makes more sense for the workload/type, plus they are similar money and more versatile! I’ve got my heart set on a 1.8/2t machine, that will go on my 2700 plant trailer (weighs 600kg) and has vari tracks for access. I know 2.7t machines will move more but the lower weight/versatility is more important to me currently (plus they are cheaper) Does anyone out there run the smaller bobcat e19 or e20 as an arb digger, or a machine if a similar size-if so how do you find them? I did try trawling the arb digger thread but ran out of concentrate……..

Been doing a fence in Sittingbourne this week for my father in law . The council have just taken down 2 fire damaged trees next to his garden and I found a bit of expensive looking climbing kit at the base of 1 of the trees . Let me know if you think it might be yours.

No express terms for grease and oil so you’re falling back on terms implied by industrial notoriety. Burning engine oil is definitely their problem. Fuel would almost certainly be yours (receive it full, return it full or pay £x/litre). Grease I’m undecided. I’ve never been asked to grease a digger when hiring. You expect them to do that before it comes out to you. Probably their problem unless it’s some kind of machine you’re meant to grease throughout the day. Switch is on you and bear in mind it might be a £10 part but a man had to find the right one, order it, find the card details to pay for it etc etc etc. £90/hour workshop rate sounds reasonable. Plus you could have gashed up the next day’s hire for it by breaking it. Special delivery for the part maybe. Were CPA terms incorporated? Hiring’s miserable isn’t it. I nearly always look for a man and machine now.

I mention them at every opportunity . Only two controls . The door and the air slide . Simples !

Yes but his pile of scabs is going to be like a pack of crisps to an elephant.

Thanks Dan much appreciated

No i didnt notice that , but Hazel is one of the most easiest things to proper gate ,try not to mow around it then! What about a cutting ?

Morning all, Fine day here so far. Happy weekend.

I'm not on commission from L&S but maybe should be. They are listing some Shindaiwa models, which probably means they have parts listing and can order in parts. I'd gather up what model and serial numbers you can see and give them a ring, presuming you want genuine parts.

I would mate. Nip it in the bud before it gets outta hand.

Giant Tree Squid eats rocky bank. Excuse the dodgy quality. I found it last night, sorting out photos on Photobox. It was about 20 years ago, when people still used cameras.

I have a tractor with a FEL but it's not a big potato area here so doubt 2nd hand crates are particularly common. I'm currently just storing them in hessian sacks but letting the sticks season before processing (and I know this is harder on the blades)

British Mycological Society has recently been discussing various Phaeolus finds on Sorbus. Incidentally, Sorbus intermedia has recently been reclassified as Scandosorbus intermedia.

@eggsarascal 3 weeks since the caravan park story and I see you've been on recently and I think it's time to speak up.
