Yea but no but coz I never dun nufink coz I wasn't even there

I used to use Aspen but my dealer stopped getting it and sold me Husqvarna X power alkylate fuel . I don't know if its just my imagination but I would have said my saws run better on it . Certainly not worse . I buy the blue ( 4 stroke ) can and mix it at 50:1 with Red line racing 2T oil .

The best option is spray the stuff. I've found that depitox works well on it.

Thanks both - appreciate the guidance

clearly someone with severe Down's or cerebral palsy isn't going to do much assembly work. But there are some with e.g Down's who could at least wipe the tables in the factory canteen. A chap I knew years back on the sick with mental health after art school, just kept taking the tablets, and often in the local Wetherspoon's - I used to think if he's well enough to go to the pub with his girlfriend, why can't he collect the empty glasses off the tables instead of scrounging? UK full of people scrounging. We are far too generous with benefits.

Longbow: A Social and Military History by Robert Hardy CBE Published 16 November 1992

Picked up some 8-9"dia rounds of dry rotting ash yesterday (firewood that's too many years old); will drill many holes in them and put them around the place. They won't last long but perhaps a couple of years with a roof of offcut WRC board.

Morning, cooler here too. Off to level off a garden after some building works then go see the lads on a job.

Whereabouts in the UK is it?

Usually just to the side of the boom, it’s just a wee valve lever. The Yanmar are under the dead man lever on the floor under a plastic blank though just to be awkward. Dan I pinky promise I never got out the cab for slab stacking and the broken 1 was already broken.

I just called him off a deer when he was already twenty yards committed. Buy a lottery ticket!

Tasty. I'd sure like to try that one as well, sounds like a Proper Job.

Thanks all for the replies. My thoughts on a couple of points that have been well made; - theft or damage. Is this a significantly higher risk in the arb industry? outside of the arb industry I know it is a problem, but I suppose it must be manageable. The fact that there are profitable hire companies shows that. I know arb work is hard work for both people and machines, so I would expect and accept a certain amount of wear and tear and cosmetic damage, but there must be insurance and security measures available to mitigate the risks well enough - maintenance and repairs. As above with theft damage; it must be manageable? I am reasonably mechanically minded and can learn fairly quickly. My first job out of school was a tractor mechanic / fitter, and I have been a been a farmhand, bicycle mechanic, I do a lot of my own car maintenance and my current day job is an engineer in the automotive industry, so I have a reasonably good understanding of mechanical and hydraulic systems, so I'd be reasonably confident to do basic repairs and maintenance stuff myself, and I guess I would rely on either the supplying dealer or approved repairers for difficult stuff. Any machine I bought would be a known and well supported make, I would avoid any of the chinese stuff that is admittedly temptingly cheap. - breaking into a saturated market, competing with existing companies. Alongside a lack of demand, this is my biggest worry. Thank you NJA for identifying a couple of companies nearby who do similar. I had a look at their websites and it looks like they have a variety of excavators and various arb attachments, but neither offered a tracked mini skid steer. So while it's a bit niche, it might be something that would be in demand? Certainly when I was working as a groundsman our mini skid was much more versatile and useful for most things than the mini excavators that we also had on a couple of jobs. I am hoping that building a good relationship is where I would be able to do OK. I would be a sole trader operation with quite a narrow focus, so I would hope that my overheads would be lower and that I could be cheaper and offer decent flexibility than the bigger players. I am also very fortunate in that I have a wife who earns enough, as well as having my office job to fall back on if it all goes pete tong, so I could afford to start small and build slowly. I wouldn't need it to immediately pay off; to begin with I would set merely being cost neutral as a target, then if/when I achieve that I could aim for profitability (or if it's a total failure I could pack it in and know that at least I tried). As I touched on in my opening post my current job is making me pretty unhappy in general and despite being an engineer, I very very rarely get to do anything other than sit and stare at a monitor. I like working outdoors and doing something real, so if I could make some money by trundling around the countryside with a machine in tow, or occasionally doing basic work on the tools again, that would be great.

I heard she can be a bit prickly in bed!

Need to clear out stock that we won't be re stocking - we now have unguarded .325 .043[1.1mm] chains and no longer want to have the guarded version (which Oregon and Husky do). So buy 1 chain and get 2 free - while stocks last. ONLINE ONLY - if you can't get it to work whatsapp on 07752145001. You need to have at least x3 chains in the basket. Yes you can mix and match sizes. No we are not doing this deal on any other chains right now. Use code 325 in the basket - if you have x3 chains of this type in the basket it will remove 66% of the price (thus giving by 2 get 1 free). 10"[25cm] Panther .325 .043[1.1mm] 46 drive links WWW.CHAINSAWBARS.CO.UK P-325-043-G-46 Panther Nano .325 .043[1.1mm] which tends to go on the newer smaller Husqvarna chainsaws as standard... 12"[30cm] Panther .325 .043[1.1mm] 51 drive links WWW.CHAINSAWBARS.CO.UK P-325-043-G-51 Panther .325 .043[1.1mm] which tends to go on the newer smaller Husqvarna chainsaws as standard type set... 14"[35cm] Panther .325 .043[1.1mm] 59 drive links WWW.CHAINSAWBARS.CO.UK P-325-043-G-59 Panther .325 .043[1.1mm] which tends to go on the newer smaller Husqvarna chainsaws as standard type set... 16"[40cm] Panther .325 .043[1.1mm] 64 drive links WWW.CHAINSAWBARS.CO.UK P-325-043-G-64 Panther .325 .043[1.1mm] which tends to go on the newer smaller Husqvarna chainsaws as standard type set...
