Pretty much tax avoidance then 🤷‍♂️which you yourself have said on several occasions is something you and your accountant partake of and is totally legal and acceptable Mark.

Depends how you class a defender 90 , thats not used for business

Jesus. Is it one of those American fridges?

For locking while you're on the road, you should look for a coupler latch lock. It’s basically a small padlock with a long pin that goes through the handle on the hitch. This keeps the latch from popping open while you're driving and makes it harder for someone to unhitch the chipper if you stop at a shop. You can also get a locking hitch pin to make sure no one takes the whole ball mount off your vehicle.

Started running like dogshite yesterday. So much fuel is pouring in, two vids one of the fuel leaking out of exhaust manifold, next is of spark plug removed (spark plug working by the way) crazy amount of fuel coming out. Any ideas muchly appreciated. IMG_4596.mov IMG_2480.mov

Wow, some really outstanding (and fairly disabling!?) northern brewing contributions, there from Peter1955 Thanks for sharing ! I'm just thinking maybe a little brewery tour is needed ( using bikes and van perhaps ), to check these specialties out ? -Maybe when the weather is a bit less wintery tho!

Good luck. Hopefully, someone in your area reads your cv and can take you on

Windy and wet here, meant to be clearing up Yew I reduced in a church yard yesterday. That's going to have to wait till tomorrow, as just getting over cough virus that's going about.

I've come out of forum retirement to post my thoughts on the Reflex. I have only recently acquired it but have had some climbs on it already. My background: approx 15 years climbing. The last 10 has been mostly on a hitch climber and rope wrench; with a bit of doubled rope but mostly SRS. In the past I have tried: BDB, ZZ, all iterations of the RR and the akimbo 1 (none of them permanently, just borrowed). I wasn't in a hurry to get a mechanical, but my interest grew recently seeing devices that were designed for use of both techniques. The price also attracted me to the reflex. The throttle drew me in but ultimately just seemed too expensive to justify. My initial thoughts: - Quite big and heavy, and feels a bit odd when you pick it up because a lot of the weight is in the stainless steel links, which flop around until installed. - Took a minute to get it installed right but not too bad once you've done it before. Probably similar to RR in that regard but not as streamlined as the akimbo. - Doesnt seem to run up the rope/self feed as well as other devices, possibly due to the weight.. But I didn't notice the weight as such once it's on the rope. It will likely self feed with enough rope weight but it's not like the zigzag in that regard. - Seems to descend great both MRS and SRS. Tried SRS 3 to 1 and that worked well (I think it's approved for that config). I think if you plan on doing any real amount of MRS a friction saver will be a must. - Did some climbing in the wet and it was quite jerky to get going, I'm assuming this is similar problem for other devices too. I think the addition of a wrench in this situation would be the only real reason to use one. However if you hold your tail at your hip like belaying, that seemed to be a work around. - Oddly the packaging was very basic, I could feel the device through the postage bag it arrived in at. Felt very basic. The real issue which I've only just been made aware of, is that the device is only rated to 12kn. I don't know how it can be life support with a 12kn rating, a friend was not allowed to use his at a recent climbing comp. He also told me in the manual it states that it's a class C device. I'm not sure what that means in real terms, it's designed to be used in conjunction with another climbing system? Two rope systems are not a mandatory requirement where I am in NZ. I just feel it's a bit strange that no one has mentioned that in any of the videos I've watched.

I think as a tool for mostly domestic stumps using the Avant I can’t see it working well. I have gone a bit cold on the idea if I’m honest.

Nice.

They did fiberglass varients also

Or a slow growing tree. Japanese maple or an oak would likely progress slower than the rot and could become quite an interesting one over 20 years or so.

My TP 215 has been faultless so far, and the auto idle is a brilliant function. Kilworth machinery offered a good price and good back up.

Hi, I think both, I think you can inject it into the holes... I've only done this once to a chair which was easy but I guess with something much bigger I guess you could spray it. Being no expert, I think if I had serious woodworm in my house for example I would be tempted to buy a pukka woodworm treatment or if it was bad enough call in a professional. Cheers.
