  1. Past hour
  2. Having used both the Pro Comms. I only bought the Pfanners as 2 other lads already had them. Range is bloody garbage..
  3. It is very much like powdered chocolate yes.
  4. When there is a big bunch of them hacking around Goodwood circuit its deafening ! 😃 ( I live close to it ) Its coming up to that time again . September the something .
  5. Yes . A floating rim as we call it .
  6. Today
  7. The UH006 is good, nice to use. The specs and the batteries are better than the Stihl 140r. The 18v tools are significantly down on power and capacity compared to Makita xgt 40v ones, even with the twin 18v is significantly down on the XGT so its worth upgrading to the newer system. Currently theres a free battery promotion with the outdoor tools, ends end of Sept. I'll have gained 5 of these promotion batteries, and possibly going to buy more tools before it ends. I have the blower, top handle, hedger and pruning chainsaw, split shaft - with hedger/trimmer/polesaw. I never seen any Stihl battery kit in the wild and their early battery kit was rubbish, so no one wants to risk the newer stuff. It does work well for very thick tops on large hedges whilst up a ladder, beech etc where your cutting 3 or 5 meter tops.
  8. Long time no post here everyone! I am looking for Martin Angeli (photo) who pledged on our Kickstarter for a Ropepod - but we have no details for him. Looks like he is in Cape Coral, Florida USA. If anyone has any ideas please let us know!! Thanks in advance - The Sawpod Team!!
  9. Thanks. The patio is just slabs laid on sand on top of soil so plenty of water should get through. It might have just outgrown the position as it’s been there for many years longer than we owned the house. We have been watering the flower beds adjacent as well.

  11. 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.
  12. If its anything like the backpack brushcutter its slow, massively underpowered for a fourstroke so generally shite
  13. Three today Wordle 1,531 3/6* ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ 🟨🟨⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  14. 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
  15. Morning all, Light duties for a day or two. Pulled my right shoulder starting the MS880!
  16. Hes not going to wait till next year! Get on with it.
  17. 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
  18. Yesterday
  19. 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.
  20. ... 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
  21. This ugly little fecker about 40ft up. Wondered why an adult pigeon bugged out at a million mph about a minute before.
  22. 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.

  26. 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:
  27. 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
