  2. Which one your favourite?
  3. How is he a puppet? Who is pulling the strings? He seems to do as he pleases, when he pleases. You can criticise him, with good reason in many cases, but he is not a puppet of mysterious forces. Of course Vance is in line to be the next Potus! he’s the VP, and a popular one at that. Thats not some conspiracy, it’s common sense. You can only serve two terms so there’s zero chance of Trump going for three. The Democrats are nowhere, and have been discredited for the way they propped up a clearly failing Biden, lots of Yanks haven’t forgiven them for that. Short of something really dramatic JD is a shoo-in for 2028.
  4. same here, a bit easier than vinyl but still an actual thing you own

  6. You never said it was a bog go 12 -13 tonnes easy to find larger machines last longer easier to fix you can get forks to unload move gear around wider tracks same size buckets as 8 tonne far better reach so less moves on the bog. Chap up road did his with a 40 year old Hymac and sold it on for same money

  11. If you’re using quality timber why risk using anything form temu with it?
  12. Yesterday
  13. I had a similar case with an old apple tree that looked half-gone after a bad winter. Pruning back the dead wood and giving it a season with mulch, compost tea, and slow-release organic feed really helped bring it back. Also worth checking for root rot or girdling roots. These trees are tougher than they look once stress is managed right.

  15. A center punch, just like this one
  16. I did my first full-fat, name-on-the-door job today. Had a climber in. I bored the life out of him telling him to take it easy, take time, be safe, constantly check himself for tiredness/complacency etc. You know what. I'm going to keep being boring. It's only gardening. Nobody needs to die.

    Makita DUC150

    I've also ordered one of these 18v Fakita clones as it looks like a better version of the DUC150, if it really is a brushless motor it may have more power than the original. While its a 1/4" mini chain, I do prefer those narrower bars. Arrives Monday, will put a mini review up if its any good - if the motor is rubbish it will be going straight back.. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0DHZ2T186
  18. Thanks checked carb and all looks good. Surprised it ran with such low compression.
  19. I like the safety features but a bladed power tool should be respected. If your putting your hands or fingers in a blade with it running, what do you expect to happen? If you rely on the glove, one day you will finish a job, take it off then notice a cut you missed and do it without the glove, and your fingers are gone. When I've let other climbers use my secatuers and told them to respect it, turn it off between cuts or any time they are moving around, only one does. The others thought they knew best, they are accidents waiting to happen, so I wont let them use it any more.
  20. There is no comparison - green climber all day long! Robocut are great machines for the price if you’re mostly doing grass and light bramble day to day however if you want something to do grass, scrub & small diameter saplings it’s the green climber. The green climber are a premium machine and will cost more if they go wrong but the output should far outweigh that.
  21. Witington side and no qualifications yet just a few years experiance mate
  22. Huge news if you’re a cro holder Trump Media, Crypto.com Announce Strategic Partnership - Crypto.com CRYPTO.COM Cronos (CRO) Cryptocurrency and Crypto.com Digital Wallet Infrastructure to be Integrated on Trump Media Platforms off the back of this crypto.com are now offering 20% apr for staking cronos for 12 months. I’d strongly advise against taking up this offer
  23. If the fruitiing body is not on the log then how can it sporulate? Altough Kretz is both saprophytic and parasitic/pathogenic once the logs dry it will not fruit and hence spread.
  24. Last week
  25. I am doing this... kind of... along the back fence a good layer of wood chip to break down but then level the ground enough to mow the brambles, nettles etc that grow through the fence - ground level is all over the place at the moment - point is, in some cases it can work... but not on their own. Depends on the weeds you get you might consider ways to embrace them or use what grows there as a guide to what plants to plant as replacements
  26. finally got the recently acquired Danarm 1-71-ss back together today, it had a few electrical problems, I can't be certain but it looked like someone had it apart previously and trapped wires when reassembling, I replaced them all from an old parts saw, and put a kit in the carb, before firing up I pulled the exhaust, piston looked new! in fact the top was showing no evidence of being fired at all, it has massive amounts of compression, I'm thinking someone gave up on it after spending time and coin on it and traded it in for a new model, [it came from a dealers shop, as did the other two] it's now running good and starts in a couple of pulls from cold, and one once warmed up. I got a Dolmar CC [109] coming next week, I hope that as easy to sort.
