  3. Just acquired roughly 5 acres of land of which 0.5 acres in mowed but undulating lawn. The rest is very scrubby, again undulating but no major slopes with areas prone to getting wet. I'm planning to maintain the lawn for family use but preserve as much of the wild areas as possible by mowing paths into the scrub to enable us to walk the area. I have a maximum budget of £5k to get what I need to manage it myself and I've done a lot of research online but looking for some experienced advice and reviews to guide me. Thought I'd narrowed it down to a Grillo Climber 7.15 brushcutter but then read about issues related to poor quality generally with cost of spares extortionate. Any recommendations very welcome, thanks in advance.
  4. Morning all, Forecast rain here, but no sign of it yet. Maybe do a bit in the garden, otherwise taking it easy. Happy Sunday

  6. the post you quoted was from 27th July - thread archaeology. Freedom of speech should mean exactly that. If I say something against the global Jewish propaganda machine supporting Israel I fully expect the Jews to want me silenced for antisemitism. Same as Charlie Hebdo got clobbered. If you followed the chat on both nattering threads you would have seen Stephen P was just as much to blame, all Stephen P had to do was steer clear of Johnsond, instead of constantly quoting his posts and generally arguing with him day in day out, culminating in the bit about whether Johnsond was taking his daughters to the 'rapist' Trump's visit. It takes two to tango (no pun intended)

  9. I wonder if someone can answer my query? We have bought a new house in a conservation area, our house is overlooked at the rear by another property and we would like to remedy this. Our estimate is that due to the topography, we need a tree which will reach circa 10m in height. Therefore, we are considering buying a 5m tall, fast growing maple type tree callled Autumn Blaze. The trunk diameter of which is currently approx 60mm This would not be a replacement tree. I can only find information regarding dealing with existing trees in conservation areas and nothing regarding planting a non replacement new tree. My question is - Do we need to apply for for planning permission or notify our Local Planning Authority in order to plant the tree? Thanks in advance.
  10. Years ago I took a big Eucalyptus down disced trunk in 9inch thick piece and then had to quarter them to lift them into wheel barrow. After about a year sitting in a pile, borrow a 90hp tractor and Hycrak splitter, stooled tractor no end of times. And had easy bits with a cut with saw.
  11. A rip off, but with a swivelling chute which the greenmech misses.. Would you mind sending a couple of pictures of how it attaches? Also curious of how much of a clone it is to the greenmech, as in would it mount the same
  12. The medical is no big deal, I have had to do one every year since I reached 65 to retain my HGV, only expense is the medical itself which is £60-£100, the license gets renewed FOC. Bob
  13. Hi, thanks for the enquiry we will have a look and see, but it’s doubtful we have any parts for the BP1, as it’s a rare model! But will have a look for you and get back to you. Thank you again!
  14. Never been asked for tickets to hire a chipper, just money. Agree with the above. I'd add depending on access to the hedge and what you're doing with the chip will tell you whether tracked or wheeled would suit better.
  15. I'd love to be able to tell you I don't have a tab open for pink workshop overalls but here we find ourselves.
  16. You changing that for a new model already? Or going back to running one machine across sites? looks a great deal for someone in the arb trader 👍🏻

  18. You’re maybe alright because you’re mixing it yourself. Given it was multiple issues with spark plugs I think their mix is just a bit rich. Could have been a batch or an age issue, I don’t know. I mentioned it to the guy in the husky shop (not my usual) and he just seemed bamboozled. The owner of my usual husky dealer said they thought the husky fuel was shit and that’s why they stock aspen instead 😅

  21. Had a day on my old kubota today forwarding timber out that we cut a few months back, not the driest of woodlands but still traveling well at half 5 on last load, bit rough in places so slowly slowly wins the race and it wernt a short haul either any where between 500 & 600yds ,
  22. Auto steer warning, but @Oldfeller pretty much described the political version of heading towards the end of a cliff.
  23. That might be tricky - if homeowner has an accident at the saw mill place of work, it might count as industrial accident... HSE piles in asking for risk assessments, suitable PPE, supervision, training... many places if they realise don't want that responsibility. Same as collecting wood from a yard, might struggle to convince someone to use a saw there for oversized wood
  24. No. It's just north east of the A264 and B2195 roundabout. On the 'Old Crawley Road' road.

  26. Willow for charcoal really depends on what willow species you're using. Goat Willow makes good charcoal as it has similar properties to hardwoods. Most willows will tend to create a soft charcoal (favoured by artists as a drawing medium) which is rather quick burning and doesn't get quite as hot as hardwood charcoal such as oak. Having said that, willow charcoal does have its place in the market, especially for those who prefer a less intense heat for cooking delicate food stuff such as fish.
