Excellent graphic design.

Hey, not looking to break the bank. What petrol powered log splitters would you recommend? Looking for one that is capable of splitting rings with knots and branch unions! Not just straight grained demo logs!🤣

How long is a piece of string? There is not a simple/single answer to your question as there are way too many variables. My only piece of advice, after dealing with an enormous number of woodland owners who went ahead and bought a piece of woodland or planting land shelling out from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands pounds only to have a very rude awakening when reality hit them in the face (and more importantly in their wallet): Do spend a grand or two on a proper, independent woodland appraisal conducted by a professional who hasn't got a skin in the game and wants to sell you something (besides some of their time)! Do this before you part with any other monies or sign anything - don't get too excited before you read and understood it. The non-forestry estate agents have not got a clue what they are selling, none of the conveyancers will have the faintest either. Go to the forestry agents and ask them for a recommendation instead. The likes of woodlands.co.uk have some interesting moral codes, my latest is a lotted conifer block somewhere in the SW sold as Douglas fir (seen all their paperwork!) which was in fact larch, not 15 miles from an active SPHN; strangely not a word on this anywhere... If you are willing to invest a lot of money and time in a piece of land you better make sure you fully understand what are you getting into first, especially if you are new to it; spending a little money upfront will truly pay dividends.

Rob to the rescue again! The man’s knowledge of bar/chain/sprocket combos is unmatched. He has come a long way from the fresh-faced youth I met at an arb show a couple of decades ago! Hope you’re well mate!

Hazel binders for hedge laying
Bob The Dog replied to Bob The Dog's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I think it’s as soon as possible from what he said. I know nothing of this subject, but he’s told me it’s 63m and needs 4 binders on each run? If you could let me know an idea on price I can pass that on. The location is Lugwardine near Hereford. Thanks. -

Predicting the questions, but what are the ground conditions?

Put the battery on charge,see what the voltage is. Remove the fuel filter and inspect. Check all your connections on the fuel line,you might find it weaping somewhere. If that all checks out,join a clear bit of hose from the supply side of your filter to the fuel line itself.Providing you have refilled the fuel filter housing the chipper should fire and pull diesel up past the clear bit of hose.It might need to be bled at an injector or it might not. Now you know you have diesel from the tank to the filter and from the filter to the pump.leave it and see if air appears in the clear hose up at the filter housing. Providing the housing is at the highest part of the fuel line.Thats all if you just dont want to replace the fuel line which you might end up doing.There is a slight,slight chance there is something floating around in the tank that blocks the end of the fuel intake but thats an outside chance imho. Kubotor engines did have pretty weak lift pumps,I have replaced a couple with electric lift pumps but the symptoms were the engine farted and hunted rather than were hard to start.

Had the Echo Pole Pruner something like a PT2400 a few years ago with the extra 1.5m (?) extension - huge reach but a bit unwieldy. Machine is long gone but I still have the extension in our unit somewhere if anyone would be interested at £75.00 ?

Ganoderma Lucidum, a pretty rare find and the first time that I have encountered it in 30 years on the job. Growing around 3m up on the stub of an old wound, host was Oak, Haute-Vienne region.

Primer bulb pulling air but not the usual suspects.
bmp01 replied to jarrick's topic in Maintenance help
Yes that should happen. Now open each screw, one at a time and tell us which one is allowing the air through…. I think that’s ok too. You are blowing into the metering chamber only, so long as you have the little valve and it’s gubbins plus the diaphragm in place. That’s the chamber where fuel is supplied to the jets….. So here you are creating a little bit of pressure on the fuel side of the jets, you are blowing through the main jet and low speed jets in the direction they are supposed to work. The one way valve in the main jet should be open in this direction. With the low speed circuit there is sometimes a little one way valve at the entry to the low speed circuit, which would also be open in this direction. What is not ok is the purge bulb (or you) being able to suck through the main jet one way valve. And it’s not ok, being able to suck through the low speed circuit one way valve if there is one, less of a big deal, but still not good. Worth mentioning, both one way valves are often a little leaky with air, less so with fuel in them. Secondly, if the purge button pops back really slow and fills with air, its likely the fuel filter inside the carb is probably blocked …. bulb can’t suck fuel so it does what it can and sucks air, through the jets. And finally, leaky fuel line (between carb and bulb) or the bulb itself will allow air into bulb, I think this is pretty obvious. But less obvious maybe is that a leak in this area can easily allow air to be sucked into the carb metering chamber when engine is running…. Food for thought. -
Also is the cable routing slack enough to handle going round corners? but not too slack that it catches on things?

I don't believe that it's about assimilation. On the push side it's just the age old pursuit of wealth and power, but happening at an unprecedented speed. On the pull side it's the human love of convenience and novelty. Digital per se isn't the problem. It'd be fine if it was used wisely and altruistically.
