  1. Past hour
  2. She was a victim if her own effing stupidity and was convicted for breaking the law, inciting racial hatred by encouraging people to burn down hotels housing migrants, she is not the victim, although she is playing the victim card now all right, and she did 10 months in total.
  3. For chain sharpening, no problem with files except it gives me sore hands. If the chain has hit something and rolled the chrome, then blunts the file, makes it slow work. I had a cheapy Lidl one, it only managed a few chains before letting the smoke out. This should make it much faster. Milwaunkee are the only brand doing a decent quality brushless type, and its not cheap at £140 for the set, but should last forever.

  6. Thanks. I've was wrestling with that acronym, but didn't like to show my ignorance by asking!
  7. Radmore Tucker is local to you?
  8. I have a husky 525rx for stuff like that. Light and very good anti vibe and fairly cheap Battery strimmer's are ok but don't have very good run times & will cost more for decent ones but worth considering if you already have a load of compatible batteries. Bigger strimmer will do the job fine also but heavier.
  9. Afternoon fellas I am on the market for a new truck. I have several 3l 150bhp Isuzu and they are great. Has anyone had both and think the 1.9l 125bhp is still up to towing 3.5t well and no engine issues over time? Any advise would be much appreciated
  10. Makes the truck look good though. 👍
  11. I am only commenting on what I can see in your picture; you could make yours act like a regenerative ram with a diverter, I think it would need to be a "make before break" type so as the flow from the rod side is never shut off (which would cause over pressure in the hose). Also you would need an extra short length of hose. The output from the rod side goes to the diverter, the flow from the diverter feeds to the piston side of the pump. When the ram slows or stops the diverter manually operated dumps back to the existing spool. When the ram reaches the end of stroke the diverter has to be connected to the existing spool, else a one way valve will be needed around the diverter. The splitter I operated with a regenerative spool was a bit disconcerting as it "kicked" when the pressure in the system increased before the regeneration stopped and direct pressure was exerted, this cycled a few time as the ram jerked forward. For my part, and only for my own use, my ideal firewood is a 2" to 4" round piece of hardwood ( birch in profusion on the heath is ideal) 9" long. I wish there was a small machine to cut to that.
  12. Ha ha, saw that when I dropped a load of wood off and came in to check on the dog. Be up early tomorrow morning to watch.
  13. How soon after transplanting could a mature ish hawthorn be laid? Say 75mm diameter at shin height.

  16. Looking at it id go in tripple , maybe quadruple the price, the job i looked at that was a pound a whip was easy, soft ,clear no roots ground and no coming back either . I did a job once like yours in staffs, (timberhonger) going was shite ,3inch of peat then the rest was a mix of quartz and roots .. the stumps weren't cleared off site and the aim was to plant 1500 whips a day ! Wasn't doable . Have you got much else on in the was of work . To be fair the trust that asked me to do the planting showed me other quotes not named , for 2 row hedgerow with natural clumping and a zig zag pattern, random clusters of trees 350m, was 2k and 3k respectively .guarded ,staked and no stock replacement either Not worth ****************ing around with
  17. Yesterday
  18. Got a couple of days in milling scots pine with a view to getting a drying shed up, very pleased with the mill
  19. There's a facebook group called forst issues and faults with a lot of memebers if you need further advice
  20. Evening all, I'm looking at a change in occupation, though I'm currently employed the desk job is killing me and I crave the outdoors. I've been busying myself on my work holidays undertaking my CS30/31/38 - but not 39 yet (there's some logistical complications having done my initial 30/31 actually as the ICC1/2 course rather than with lantra before I found out the 2 similar course providers though practically identical aren't recognised by each other....). In my spare time I've really enjoyed and been climbing, pruning and felling for friends and neighbours (mostly farmers who are happy to get odd jobs done for free/for wood). 2026 brings another 6-8 weeks of holidays and I'll happily take them early on getting some experience helping out a local firm preferably around Cumbria. So if any one wants a free groundsman, or climber with his own kit for a few weeks here or there, in return I can get some experience of what doing tree work for a living looks like rather than for fun before I finally take the plunge and make the switch full time please get in touch.

  21. After somebody, could be a groundsman or a climber to assist with tree work in and around the Minehead area. Part time up to a couple days a week. If you interested please get in contact.
  22. Available to climb for you next Wednesday. Message me for further details.
  23. Anyone got an Evoque or other Land-rover product that has suspension position sensors? The missus' Evoque had a new wishbone fitted and the drop link to the sensor was bust. I got a new sensor but the drop link seems to be in need of adjustment (cheap kin imported shite) but the fixing the the wishbone is lost! Does it just press fit over a stud or is there a bush or just a bolt? What size thread in to the wishbone? M5, M6, M8?
  24. Hello All, Has anyone used or have any views on site doc for the arb industry? Any feedback would be appreciated.
  25. A nearby farmer purchased a teleporter and had the bag lifter for sale, they used to have a drill or spreader mounted on the lifter, I looked at it and thought it was ideal to mount my winch, it worked out really well, the lifter will extend another meter and a half and I have a set of tongs to fit on the end, or I can run the winch cable through a pulley attached to the lifter in place of the hook and use it like a skidder, it has proved itself a very versatile combination.
  26. Last week
  27. I see the children responded, so will post again on topic.
  28. 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!
