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.

This arose because the manx norton engine was used by formula racing cars so the only way to get one was to buy the bike and sell the rest on.

So right that I'll only add that rowan are susceptible to fire blight (which has only been in England as long as I have) and stressed ones more likely to succumb.

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

Alternatively, you can do it the easy way, with this blade on a Kombi tool. Faster than any saw on branches less than 75mm diameter, and doesn't have a chain flying off on fluffy bits.

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.

Thanks @Steve Bullman looked under my activities but can't see the hidden site!!? Should I be able to see int in the screenshot you entered in the chat above under "Here you go". If so, I get the following:

Oh dear you'll 😃, if it really have to ...for me id rather have a quick cutter over grunt , also depends if u want a forestry saw or more geared for tree work and dismantling. One size doesn't fit all,also recently tried other saws including an echo 4310 (i think) wasn't impressed with that . I feel husqvarna have lost their way now were on the 5 series and seems to be teething faults with certain models. I'm not tied to any one brand with saws and one might be good another might be crap . But the saws I'm currently running arent available anymore , All my stihl are gone ,all of the husqvarna are gone . I'm now running older none electrics echo , but compared to today's saws there ok. And efco /oleo mac ...old school series before everything got farmed out. Efco 156 is my equivilent to the 261, and efco 4100sp /4400 for the 241 ...gave fecking horrid back ache from that . But the efco and oleo mac last series were like the husqi 2/3 series ...I'm hoping ive enough till i retire

I'd be keen to hear your feed back should you ever demo/buy one

Plenty sites here https://arbtalk.co.uk/recycling/?nearby=20&lat=51.312059&lon=0.032802&category=0&country=0&state=0&specialization=

I can't see it being an issue. Only if, by some unlikely coincidence, you decided to stack the recently felled limbs on the ground, next to one of your trees, in poor health, for several months. So hardly likely?

Because I'm only in it for the money , .I also turned down the chance to fly around the world with trant civil engineers doing airport surfaces ,but I didnt have enough info to make that a viable option either..hate to do it then get stung with a huge tax bill. If it doesn't pay enough I'm not interested to be honest . To be also straight -I'm not keen on Oz,new zealand, usa or Canada.
