Maybe, my thinking is when he was elected he was mostly all there mentally and at that would never voluntarily quit. Behind the scenes you would have to be fairly confident then that medically you can declare him unfit and then to replace him with who you want - too much of a risk I think when it has been clear for a while that a lot of people know exactly how to play Trump. Dementia isn't a straight line thing "Have these symptoms here, in 1 year you will have these", hard to predict then when his marbles will go. Physically - remember he is the president that is in the best shape, ever, doctors have never seen anything like it - but also monitored by doctors - so am not sure they would get him on physically grounds either. So I think the plan was always keep him as a puppet this term, keep Vance in the background, present but not over bearing, with hints he is 'ready to take over' then next term Vance steps in. A bit of momentum keeping him in place... but you are right, if the time comes, he will be dropped pretty quick.

same here, a bit easier than vinyl but still an actual thing you own

Is that a five tonner it's on?

You never said it was a bog go 12 -13 tonnes easy to find larger machines last longer easier to fix you can get forks to unload move gear around wider tracks same size buckets as 8 tonne far better reach so less moves on the bog. Chap up road did his with a 40 year old Hymac and sold it on for same money

Very interesting, many thanks everyone. C

If you’re using quality timber why risk using anything form temu with it?

I had a similar case with an old apple tree that looked half-gone after a bad winter. Pruning back the dead wood and giving it a season with mulch, compost tea, and slow-release organic feed really helped bring it back. Also worth checking for root rot or girdling roots. These trees are tougher than they look once stress is managed right.

A center punch, just like this one

I did my first full-fat, name-on-the-door job today. Had a climber in. I bored the life out of him telling him to take it easy, take time, be safe, constantly check himself for tiredness/complacency etc. You know what. I'm going to keep being boring. It's only gardening. Nobody needs to die.

I've also ordered one of these 18v Fakita clones as it looks like a better version of the DUC150, if it really is a brushless motor it may have more power than the original. While its a 1/4" mini chain, I do prefer those narrower bars. Arrives Monday, will put a mini review up if its any good - if the motor is rubbish it will be going straight back.. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0DHZ2T186

Thanks checked carb and all looks good. Surprised it ran with such low compression.

I like the safety features but a bladed power tool should be respected. If your putting your hands or fingers in a blade with it running, what do you expect to happen? If you rely on the glove, one day you will finish a job, take it off then notice a cut you missed and do it without the glove, and your fingers are gone. When I've let other climbers use my secatuers and told them to respect it, turn it off between cuts or any time they are moving around, only one does. The others thought they knew best, they are accidents waiting to happen, so I wont let them use it any more.

There is no comparison - green climber all day long! Robocut are great machines for the price if you’re mostly doing grass and light bramble day to day however if you want something to do grass, scrub & small diameter saplings it’s the green climber. The green climber are a premium machine and will cost more if they go wrong but the output should far outweigh that.

Witington side and no qualifications yet just a few years experiance mate

If the fruitiing body is not on the log then how can it sporulate? Altough Kretz is both saprophytic and parasitic/pathogenic once the logs dry it will not fruit and hence spread.

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

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.

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.
