	That's what the Luddites and Saboteurs said. Think about all those clerks who sat in rows and columns of desks with mechanical calculators summing up bank accounts, electricity bills etc. All jobs automated by data processing. Look at the service industries that grew with the labour which came available. Loss of jobs was never the issue because the problem comes from the wealth of the people that own the capital that grew the systems taking humanity on a train to the cliff at ever increasing speed.

	Talking of types lad what’s with the stand by Andrew ie not guilty comment ??. I’m very surprised that the nonce finder brigade on here haven’t come down on you for that one, although a leftard type mentality does buy you a bit of leeway for sure.

	FSI Stump Cutters proudly introduces the FSI B23, the successor to the popular FSI B22. Combining familiar design elements from both the FSI B21 and FSI B22, the B23 is engineered for everyday professional work by arborists, landscapers, contractors, and hire companies. With the FSI B23, you get to choose between a 14hp Kohler engine or an 11hp Honda engine, while enjoying the benefits of hydraulic wheel drive. The B23 combines power and user-friendliness with well-known and well-loved design features to make stump grinding easy and efficient. New features of FSI B23: Auto-Sweep Release: Automatically releases the sweep lock when the wheel brakes are applied, allowing you to reposition the machine quickly and safely at the stump. Closed Bearing on Cutterwheel Housing: Pre-greased and sealed from the factory for over 1,000 hours of operation, eliminating daily greasing and reducing maintenance concerns. Safety Bar: Stops the machine when released for increased operator safety. Other new features also include a larger sweep for increased cutting range, recoil start of the engine, and a document tube and hour meter now included as standard. “With FSI B23, we’ve refined what already worked well,” says Launy Luckmann, Development Engineer at FSI. “It’s a compact, reliable machine designed for professionals who want straightforward performance — with the comfort and simplicity that FSI is known for.” The FSI B23 reflects Danish engineering at its best — simple, robust, and made to perform day after day with minimal maintenance.

	Tried one, can’t turn into my massive gate due to the narrow street, not enough swing, especially with the chipper on, it was like driving a silver cross pram.

MS 036 -- how easy will it be to get parts for this model?

@Mark_Skyland @PaulTem Thanks both of you for your replies! - 
	😂😂😂😂😂Utter bollocks lad and you know it, why not throw the reverend Jim Jones or David Koresh into the mix, let’s face it some daft bugger brought up Jack the Ripper and Fred West the other day trying to make a point so obviously anything goes however tenuous.
 - 
	You're right they aren't the same, they do look similar though and I suppose you could make them fit as there is basically no OEM parts available anymore for the 020 AV. Ive only had two in the workshop and that was a good few years ago. I was making one decent saw from the two of them.

	Hi there, I'm looking for some advice on how to get into tree surgery - and if there is any companies looking for new starts in Glasgow and the surrounding areas. I have recently left the Navy, currently working as a grounds maintenance operative. What should be my first step to start working my way towards a qualified tree surgeon. Thank you for your time! Regards Tony

Bought this mill secondhand around 2013, having done very little work, housed in a barn. Put to work between 2013 and 2017 sawing larch for timber frames. A change of direction with business meant the mill was mothballed 2017-2020, and then brought back into action for a year or so for two more frames. I've held onto the mill - despite now drystone walling full-time - in the hope I could find time to build a frame for myself as a home. Unfortunately, I have had to give up the workshop and yard due to an unsustainable increase in rental, and the mill needs a new owner. Everything is in order, and there's a healthy box of spares and a couple of spare blades. I am being pressed by the landowner to clear the yard, so I could do with a quick, uncomplicated sale!£3,400
