an old thread where David Humphries investigates gano on Holm Oak - he suspected applanatum, but wanted to rule out the potentially more damaging adspersum (10 y old thread and at the time microscopy was needed to differentiate the two species)

I admit I used to run them a bit longer than that as I only had spur sprockets on less used , bigger saws. Even Stubby's floating rims will show the telltale mark the drive link makes as they wear, unlike spur drum the rims tend to explode if you run them too long.

Has anyone had any issues with the mark 3? Mine sh!t it self last week blowing the plug out its housing stripping the threads

What i will be cutting on regular basis are 6-12mm hedge branches, some 15mm. Larger ones i individualy cut with battery secateurs or loppers. Now i can get light and small hedge trimmer to do hedge trimming on smaller stuff and do the rest one by one. The other way is to buy serious hedge trimmer and have less work to do indivisually. The more serious hedge teimmer is, the more wweght is to carry around. And than i have to decide on budget too. I can not see, if throwing more money at equipment now will bring marginal or big enough benefit. This is where i don't have enough experience to foresee. But when the hedge is done it will really looks nice ).

Having used both the Pro Comms. I only bought the Pfanners as 2 other lads already had them. Range is bloody garbage..

When there is a big bunch of them hacking around Goodwood circuit its deafening ! 😃 ( I live close to it ) Its coming up to that time again . September the something .

Thanks. The patio is just slabs laid on sand on top of soil so plenty of water should get through. It might have just outgrown the position as it’s been there for many years longer than we owned the house. We have been watering the flower beds adjacent as well.

You fix it on site. The thing with these hydrostatic drive machines you cannot release the failsafe brakes if the engine is not running, unlike the old stuff when (after much effort) you could pull a quill out so it would freewheel. Tracks don't often break unless the rubber covering the internal reinforcing wires has exposed them to rust. They do often derail, then it's a case of jacking ub that side, slackening the track adjustment (often by forcing grease out of a tensioning ram) and levering the track back on. Easier said than done. When a 3 tonne tracked chipper shed one on a muddy hillside our fitter had me winch the thing up, mangled rubber track and all, to a flat area where it could be fixed.

If its anything like the backpack brushcutter its slow, massively underpowered for a fourstroke so generally shite

I reckon that is the plan but he is too stubborn to stand aside, so will be played like a puppet from behind the scenes

Morning all, Light duties for a day or two. Pulled my right shoulder starting the MS880!

Hes not going to wait till next year! Get on with it.

There’s a member on here utterly obsessed with “ rape” maybe he will feel some sympathy for the child on this occasion. Another rape by another bogus asylum seeker. The attack sent shockwaves across Scotland and prompted the country’s first angry protests against asylum hotels. Extraordinary images suggest Nikzad’s trip through Italy, Germany and France before arriving on British soil was more of a luxury tourist adventure rather than a fight to flee persecution or danger. The social media images show the migrant posing gleefully outside some of the world’s most famous landmarks, including Rome’s Colosseum, Cologne Cathedral, as he made his way to the UK to claim ‘refuge’. One picture shows him sporting a North Face puffa jacket, worth more than £300, and smiling in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris as the sun sets. TRENDING

Just in case anyone might be interested, I've got a spotless used makita duc150 for sale. It's 18 months old with It's box, manual etc and has a 4Ah battery and charger with it. I'm in Ches/Mancs -and open to reasonable offers.

... though they reckoned last week that the fledglings can do with some help. I am the same, will start proper feeding after Autumn. I've never read up on the myths surrounding the 10ft thing and rats - so guess what I've just been doing ! I reckon the 10ft thing is in specific cases, centre of the take away areas in town, farm animal food stores, docks, but generally your house or mine, they are far far away (more than 10ft anyway). Chicken runs - I reckon they pass by at night but arn't sitting waiting about 10ft away during the day. Made me think though, brought one of the trail cams in last night for a look and a charge, got birds, insects, deers, a couple of squirrels but no rats passing by - never seen rats on them either.. so all in, I am more clever today than I was yesterday, but 10ft from a rat is a bit of a myth

This ugly little fecker about 40ft up. Wondered why an adult pigeon bugged out at a million mph about a minute before.

Not really I see them at the usual (funerals etc) as we are the length of the country away. If my attitude to other nations is negative why would I talk to middle Eastern people, eat Indian/Italian/Chinese etc food, go on foreign holidays, I've been to over 24 different countries from Sri Lanka in the east to the Americas in the west and from the Falklands to the Kola inlet in Russia, but you think I'm negative about other nations. Not interesting, just stupidity or not understanding.

First time the 2.6’s have been together.
