  2. Other groundy, I got the video on my way back from brush dragging. Customer wants all the brush chipped into the woodland so theres about 6 big brush stacks ready for chipping about 30 meters away. He'll need to hire a tracked chipper for that. Theres quite a lot so I suggested 2 days hire, its about £450 from the local shop. The other option was drag it to the driveway and chip there, but the grass was turning to wet boggy mud and would have been destroyed by it.
  3. That makes sens though I'd never have guessed it.
  4. Well I agree with some of your analysis. Some of the above are just catalists, not causes. I would add to your list human nature (greed, envy, ego, inability to think critically and analytically and plain old selfishness) and 'The Establishment'. Especially the educational establishment, especially universities. Since when is education supposed to be political? And lastly the general unwillingness to engage in discussion and debate (which I think starts at school). By the way I have particular beef with schools as my boy was reported to the anti-terror radicalisation program (Prevent) by his school because his beliefs were not left enough. And our lovely government are going to roll out training for teachers specifically to help them spot non-left views! Of course they say they will train teachers to spot extreme right views, but if you are interested I can tell you what views my boy was reported for. In case you don't know, around 8000 referrals are made to Prevent each year, the majority of them schoolchildren. And the largest type of referral is for far right ideaology. And just to top off my winge about the education system; of those Prevent referrals 83% are deemed not to warrant any actual intervention - which of course sort of confirms that schools are seeing extreme radicalisation even when it doesn't exist. Or to put it another way, they are guilty of viewing everyone who doesn't see the world the way they do as a Nazi.
  5. Had too much fun in Wadebridge and surrounding areas in the past and got banned from a few establishments. One banned me and others twice!

  9. Sort of answered my own question there, by getting some spanners out and taking the fittings apart. Turns out one end is 3/8" BSP and the other (grab) end is 1/2" BSP. I think. And, in case it helps someone else, these fittings are all female; at one end (bottom of the picture) on mine there's a male to male adapter. Ordered some stuff. See if it fits.
  10. We could reverse our car to the shops, it’s do-able but going forward is just the better way! That’s my thoughts on this.

  17. I was really impressed by the build and specification when I first saw them some years ago. I was delighted to be offered a role with such a good product!
  18. If cover has no holes just cut a rectangle hole in it to take rocker switch which you can buy cheap. If loader has third service are you sure not a switch some were near joystick that works it.

  26. STIHL has expanded its sprayer offering with the launch of the SGA 60, designed to combine operator comfort with automatic and precise liquid distribution. Built for groundskeepers, landscapers and gardeners, the model removes the requirement for manual pumping, delivering consistent pressure throughout the spraying task. Providing a working pressure of up to 4.5 bars, the SGA 60 uses the STIHL AK System battery and features a 15-litre tank capacity. Its five nozzles enable users to tailor the spray pattern depending on the application, whether applying fertilisers or other solutions across a variety of areas. With a quick-change feature, professionals can choose between single, double, quadruple, fan-jet, and adjustable modes, ensuring effective coverage specific to the application. Ease of use is at the heart of the SGA 60’s design, with straightforward pressure controls, an intuitive ON/OFF switch and a clear battery charge indicator. Additionally, padded shoulder straps, back support, and a hip harness evenly distribute weight for minimal strain, allowing for comfortable use. The 2026 addition arrives as STIHL celebrates its 100th anniversary. Since 1926, STIHL has defined the global standard for battery and petrol-powered forestry, landscaping, and residential gardening equipment for professional and domestic users.
