  1. pretty common yes, although I have to say I think its most common on Beech in my experience.
  2. Kubota (UK) Ltd is pleased to announce that Lister Wilder is to further widen its geographical area, reaching into parts of South West of England. This progressive extension of its sales area and customer base, will see the dealership expand into Somerset to support agricultural and ground care customers across the South West of England from its newest Kubota centre, located at Keynsham, Bristol. “Lister Wilder’s expansion further strengthens Kubota’s commitment to its customers and the markets in which our business operates,” says Henry Bredin, general manager of Kubota (UK)’s Tractor Business Unit. “This move sees Lister Wilder continue to strengthen its partnership with Kubota, as it actively supports a wider customer base in both agricultural and ground care sectors.” It may be recalled that Lister Wilder became the first full-line Kubota dealer in Europe, and its business expansion plans have already seen the first of its new Kubota centres established at Meadowlands, Bibury in Gloucestershire, and also at Keynsham, Bristol. Both these new Kubota centres have led to the creation of new jobs within sales, after-sales and service, plus parts and warranty departments, stimulating the local economies in which Lister Wilder operates. Lister Wilder’s Bristol-based Kubota centre is scheduled to open on 3rd May 2022 on Burnett Business Park. Its location enables the dealership to support customers in north Somerset and the Mendip Hills, reaching south to Bridgwater and the Quantocks. “We’re pleased to be a part of this exciting journey with Kubota, but just as importantly, we’re looking forward to welcoming new and existing agricultural and ground care customers through the doors at Keynsham,” says Phill Hughes, sales director for Lister Wilder.
  3. He won't be back this time.
  4. People have been saying this for 16 years, usually when they can’t get their own way over something, yet we are still here. You are obviously passionate about this subject but have approached it as if it’s already a scientifically proven fact, whilst at the same time rubbishing the opinions of the professional arborists on this forum, some of who have been working with trees and ivy for 30+ years. Using big words and well laid out sentences to belittle other members opinions is no better than some of what you have received in return as far as I’m concerned. goodbye, and I wish you luck in finding a platform more suitable for discussing this with people who won’t disagree with you.
  5. Theres a couple in the tip site directory
  6. Considered tamarisk? Pretty resiliant and doesnt need much soil
  7. Petzl sequoia. No brainer for me, and what I just bought my son for his first harness. Hes small too, probably 28" if that.
  8. Good points made by mick, however in my experience the more you ask of people the less likely they are to enter
  9. We’ve been controlling it for years
  10. A second thread in basically the same topic shouldn’t confuse matters at least
  11. Eva Mayr-Stihl, a businesswoman, philanthropist and dedicated entrepreneur passed away on the 9th April 2022. Mayr-Stihl was instrumental in the success of STIHL and spent 33 years guiding the family-owned business as a member of its senior management team. Throughout her many years of service on the Advisory Board and the Supervisory Board, she kept close watch over the strategic direction of the company. Mayr-Stihl joined her father’s company in 1960, and with her educational background in business administration and linguistics, she took on responsibility for advertising and market research at the family-owned enterprise. Her expertise and drive to assume a leading role at the company quickly bore fruit when she and her three siblings were made limited partners in 1961. Two years later, her father gave her the power to represent the firm and enter into transactions on its behalf. After her father’s death in 1973, Mayr-Stihl became Deputy Chairwoman of the Board of Management, placing her in charge of finance and controlling starting in 1975. With a keen sense of responsibility toward society and a sustainable world, the second mainstay in Mayr-Stihl’s life was her work as a philanthropist. In 1986, she and her husband Robert Mayr established the Andreas Stihl Foundation, a nonprofit organisation that would be renamed the Eva Mayr-Stihl Foundation in 2004. The foundation was set up to finance projects in the fields of animal welfare, education, science, research, the arts, and culture. Today, the institution supports a variety of programs, including an endowed professorship for forest genetics at the University of Freiburg and a research group on recyclable material cycles. On 11th November 2009, Mayr-Stihl received the Konrad Adenauer Foundation’s Social Market Economy Award at St. Paul’s church in Frankfurt am Main. In 2011, she received the 1st Class Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany and became the first woman to receive the key to the city of Waiblingen. In 2019, Mayr-Stihl was named an Honorary Senator of the University of Freiburg. The people of STIHL and their families are deeply saddened by the death of Mayr-Stihl.
  12. STIHL has extended its range of cordless brushcutters with the launch of the RGA 140, the first tool in the STIHL AP System dedicated for use with the STIHL RG cutting head, enabling maintenance workers, landscapers and groundskeepers to cut weeds and grass with ease in sensitive areas. Taking inspiration from the popular FSA 135 brushcutter and RG gearbox, the new RGA 140 features oscillating disc blades with low rotational energy, enabling low-spin mowing on hard surfaces and around fragile obstacles such as cars or greenhouses. Not only does this reduce the risk of flicking stones but, due to its low spin mowing and tailored RPM, the new brushcutter also reduces the safety distances to 3m from objects and 5m from people, making the tool ideal for use in built-up areas. The RGA 140 also boasts a 230mm cutting diameter and ergonomic controls. Featuring a quiet EC motor with three-speed settings and a clear LED display, users can continuously regulate the speed in order to work as efficiently as possible. In addition, the new brushcutter utilises a bike handle for well-balanced operation, offering comfortable use for professionals, particularly over long periods of time. Part of the AP System, the RGA 140 is compatible with STIHL's Smart Connector 2 A and features a mounting point on the tool housing, facilitating effective and timely maintenance, as well as increased productivity and reduced downtime. This model provides professionals with a long service life thanks to its sturdy motor housing, mesh air filter, and robust gearbox. Working time with the recommended AP 300 S battery is up to 100 minutes. For more information on STIHL’s extensive range of brushcutters, please visit www.stihl.co.uk.
  13. I thought you were holding hands at first glance. Bit of an unfortunate optical illusion going on there 😂
  14. I reckon one of our delivery drivers could be a Lynette! We have been trying to work out for the best part of a year if shes male or female. No offence to anyone called Lynette
  15. Horse Chestnut. Not the greatest of burners so you'll want to make sure you mix it in with something. Free wood is free wood though
  16. Yep this id question how much if any decent paying work the OP’s mate is really getting. People do tend to exaggerate themselves
  17. If you can’t join a group with your business profile it’s because that’s what they’ve set they’re group settings to
  18. Are you considering the mg John? We looked at one but it probably had one of the lowest ranges. That was nearly 3 years ago now though
  19. Rumour has it he already did
