Basically as only held at a single point each end it's as stable as a tightrope but the width means weight always unbalanced, nigh on impossible, an old funfair con😄

All the best people are. Why would I throw away 100s of the things that I've amassed over years? Just to have to listen to ad breaks every 5 minutes.

A digger suitable for site clearing and housebuilding digger.
difflock replied to difflock's topic in Large equipment
Thank you Swinny, for that comprehensive list, and also TM, and not in the slightest offended by that hire suggestion, but there is quite a bit of rough shurbs and bushes, semi dead trees, with many big old Ash, never mind an largeish overgrown pond to resurrect, plus the old buildings to clear away, then there would be work for a digger here where we live after, plenty of sheaughs to clean and roddens to maintain. I had toyed with the idea of buying a digger myself a few times in the past, but figured I would either overspend on a buying a better fresher digger, or buy a bag o shite. So I wisely bought nothing. I am sure Marcin will know a bloke that knows his diggers and take their advice. And I would be more than happy to chip in to get a better machine. cheers -

A center punch, just like this one

Got my gra-ple saw fitted yesterday and only had some saplings to try it on before having to go set my stand up for the local Carving event.

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.

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

Looking at the picture again it does look like the die back is coming from the ash tree behind but the photo quality’s making it hard to see what actually is going on!

Thanks checked carb and all looks good. Surprised it ran with such low compression.

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.

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.

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.

Good Morning Woken up by 8 wheeler delivering hardcore to farm at 7. Milling and food and beer. Perfect day maybe. Have fun.

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

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.

To be honest, your doing well to get three chains worth of life out of a Husqvarna 135 ! Assuming the saw and bar is OK, I'd clean up the bar, get the rails flat and true and replace the chain and sprocket. The problem is these parts wear together. An worn sprocket will mess up a new chain, a messed up chain will mess up the new sprocket.

Just check the local people, they need a 10x1.0 helicoil kit and willing/able to do it.

Be nice or I'll come round and shove a ferret up your nightie!
