good point about the TV shows - see below, this SP fellow, never worked as a tree cutter, always offering pay related advice to those who do - personally I think SP needs need to be pulled apart by giant octopuses ( but I know it's wrong of me to think that) and the 42, always rushes to help SP, not quite as bad as collaborating with the Nazis

If a job like this was being advertised wouldn't it be something like £30k+ ?

I had the distels with Velcro upper and lower for about ten years. Bought the carbon click version 5 years ago and never looked back, or regretted it for a moment.

We are looking for a groundsman to help with tree works, hedge / shrub trimming and waste clearing in the Waterlooville area. Chainsaw certificate and driving license preferred but not essential. 02392591138 07849790565

Of sorts, I just like the the tone. More blues orientated than anything else. and +1 for elexirs.

Morning, fresh blue sky day here. Heading to try and loosen an Allan bolt and see where the oils leaking from on the grapple saw this morning then hopefully just tighten something up and get on and finish the job.

I had the same back in the spring . Mouse chewed a bit about a yard long in the loft .

Yes. They had low range and some had reverse

Trying too hard wee man, you are making yourself seem a bit desperate two BS posts 5 hrs ago over different threads.Liking a post that was a reaction to something I admitted was on the wrong thread, a situation that had been amicably resolved 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. You feel the need to have a little dig before bedtime ” Steven” from behind your veil of anonymity.

I had the very same thing happen to me twice, once with a sparrowhawk, that hit my french windows and was unconscious, I checked and as far as I could tell, no bones broken, I placed it it a quiet place and kept an eye on it, within 10-15 minutes it had regained consciousness and after a short time flew off strongly. an almost identical occurrence but with a kingfisher and a different window, that to survived, it was dazed but not knocked out completely, my missus took a picture of it and did a cross stitch picture of it. but the oddest one was a robin being pursued by a sparrohawk that flew inside my open combat jacket and hid until the threat passed, the sparrowhawk veering off rapidly upon seeing me, I was driving the tractor at the time. I remember feeling it's heart beating at a rapid rate. where I was working at the time you only had to pick up a spade and the local robin would follow you to where you started digging and were tame enough to take worms and grubs from your hand.

It's getting to the stage where a few of us are starting to struggle a bit with battery life on the ProComs now and while I know Stihl say they aren't replaceable, I'm sure there's someone out there clever enough to prove them wrong without too much effort. I've not found anything when I've searched online but figured there's got to be someone on here that's at least got as far as chopping a knackered set open by now, even if not having managed to make a new battery fit. It would be great if there was a way to bump up the battery capacity at the same time so as not to have to charge them every night (not that I ever forget to, nope, never....)

I explained badly, all NPTC tickets. For the rail ones, hedge and brush cutter, we had been using the tools for months so didnt get any training except the new giy got a brief half hour lesson by other staff. I left rail before doing any more. Cs30,31,38,39 were trained by an old guy who called himself an assesor. I wanted to skip the training to just have the assesments thorugh him, as I knew what I was doing, knew how to do the cuts, used chainbrake correctly etc.. He insisted in training and that he couldnt then assess me, so I'd have to wait, he dragged it out over several months...and then he doubled his training cost for cs38 39 and I had to pay it or find someone else which I'd already tried and given up on.. He got somone over from Ireland who apparently assesses other instructors. Well that would explain why the standards are a bit shite then... ..Those that can't, teach...

We are stewing our windfalls this year, and freezing them, should be OK for the rest of the year. Lost most of our apples last winter with mould and rot, so trying this this year - stewed and frozen in muffin trays - single portions - then bagged and into the freezer - kind of works so far. Still got to pick the rest of the apples.

It's a funny old world, I saw one of these today, it looked to be identical. Like buses they are. It was for sale on a stall. I went back about 30 minutes later to get a photo and it was gone. I asked the bloke and he said it had been snapped up sharpish. Reckoned he sold it for just £15, a real steal for the buyer I reckon. Shows there's a market for such things.

That’s my thoughts exactly-looks like a lot of paint! Think it may be a long dipper too but that’s just another thing. Im leaning towards the Sany, the low hours and age make it pretty appealing. Are they too good to be true? Power/flow rates seem good according to their website but have you used one @doobin?

And the winner is ........ @Rob D It flashes and everything! How'd you do that, is it a gif or something?

Looks half the tractor with small wheels.

Probably also shaped the infeed so a bottle of wine or a glass wouldn't stay put, then some clever bugger invented sippy cup with a lanyard!.
