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

You're an old man, must have met thousands of people in your time. Did you ever meet a 'furry', ever talk to one? Have you ever been scared by a person wearing a onesie? To be honest, I am a lot younger than you, the thousands of people I have met are perhaps more my era, and I have never met one either. Scared of what is statistically improbable in society? Enough to make an issue of it? Perhaps time to leave the pages of the printed press, the Telegraph, Mail and Express and come back to reality to check it out every now and then. 'Alphabet people'.. again, so a man might like to touch another man - what is there about that that makes them different to you or me? Again a fear propagated by the press you read I suspect, come to the real world, it really isn't that scary. ... I say scary.... you appear in you messaging more aggressive than a lot on here.. and yet there you are, scared shitless by what people do in their bedrooms.

Yes I understand that. I’ve set a few chainsaws up. Normally there is a separate hi and low. And a separate LA for the idle. Unsure how the high and low can be controlled by one screw.

Well yeah, loads of people drive around without a seatbelt and dont have an accident or fly out of the windscreen until they do. There is a fairly good reason why these safety devices are in use. And its not because Big Seatbelt, Big Chain brake or Big White Finger are cashing in.

Hi everyone ,so we are going to make a resin table thats a bit different ,I will post photos when done ,so have any of you ordered and used any resin from Temu or Ali express and is it any good . Thanks. Mark

I think its really great that people are putting up flags around my local village and nearby towns. Ive very recently started a side hustle selling 2nd hand flags (virtually new) on ebay, its great they are selling like hot cakes, Im struggling to take them down fast enough.............

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.

Would help if u said what side of Worcester and if u have any qualifications yet ?

The only reason I looked at case/NH was the extra pump. The spec says 50ltr constant flow so I can track and flail. Flailing wise would be brambles and small self sown trees on brown sites so there is normally a lot of contamination in terms of rubbish. I currently have a green climber lv500 and it’s brilliant, but my business seems to be moving more towards trees than scrub. im thinking 50% flail work 25% grab work 25% actually digging and grading. Thanks

Lol...

I tried one of these at a fair once. Thinking "how hard can it be, I've a pretty keen sense of balance", I was confident. Turned out it was nigh on impossible, I didn't even manage one rung.

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!

well done. I'm sure you won't be disappointed

Thank you Doug 👍

Nope the guard is 100% coming off before its first job. Note the Fakita, which apart from having a bulky motor sticking out the side, is actually pretty good. Its only a basic DC motor but it feels to have decent power and chain speed. Cant remember when I last used it.

Morning all, Shoulder easing off a bit so can plan work for next week now. Looking forward to grapple saw news Stephen.

Yes but fixing on site could mean you have to wait for someone to come out to wherever you are. It's not I could call the AA to get me home. I don't know why they don't offer a system like you say. Something where you can put the machine in neutral so that you can push it out or even tow it out of gear.

on holiday at the moment so cant investigate further, but ive unhidden it for you in the meantime.

This one has me stumped. Tree crown is around 10-15 metres in height and spread. Not a lot of photos as I was slightly distracted by the Naturists in the garden and didn’t want to give them the wrong idea. No matter what time of day it is, why are they always playing lawn tennis?

Just buy the Oregon or stihl can, with the Stihl spouts. Throw the husky one in the bin.
