  2. I have the Stihl 3M XClimb Helmet and am struggling with the (Standard) 3M mesh carrier as it has a wide black bar across the top of the mesh into the carrier and creates a heavy black barrier at eye level. My question is: 1) Are there any other carriers that fit the standard Stihl / 3m ear defenders to alleviate the issue? 2) Does the Sordin visor carrier and mesh fit the standard ear defenders using the bar connection instead of the two button method that 3M uses on their carrier? I also would like to adjust the head cage inside the helmet so that it sits further up and back on my head. Is it possible to do this? The manuals are rubbish!

  10. Check out : Bed and Breakfast Northumberland | Pub Lowick | Accommodation in Northumberland | The White Swan Inn good food good stay good crack.family run pub with rooms close by to Holy island, St cuthberts way, etc at the end of the village is Kyloe woods, this is 100o acre woodland that is like a mini "canada" due to the size and vast quantities of monumental trees. Monumental trees in Kyloe Wood in Belford Redwood World: Belford - Kyloe Wood (Northumberland) This is where the you can see some of the original Leylandii trees. History | Leylandii There is a tarmac road right through the wood but there is no vehicular access allowed. There are scattered old sawmill buildings within the wood to explore and a few shooting bothys dotted throughout. A fantastic place to escape for an afternoon. I used to work in the woods carrying out silviculture works. a magic place not know by many. regards, Baz

  13. One of the most questions that I get asked , in sales of ride on mowers, is "does it cut in the wet". There are several things that you should be watching for when cutting grass and with a 33" machine with a 13hp engine is limited to small gardens with not a lot of height to cut. In horsepower terms , petrol rideons range from approx 7hp to 26hp with the better power being 16hp and above. The blade should cut grass at the front of the deck so the deck should be set slightly lower at the front. Cut grass averages around 1 1/2 inches height after its been cut and most rideon decks go up to 4 inches height of cut. So the deck should only be cutting 2 1/2 inches of grass. When the deck is cutting it should be moving up and down slightly so as to "gulp" air to aid the airflow under the deck and to stop the blade from blocking. The decks must be kept absolutely clean in order to stop the old grass blocking on the underside and restricting the flow.Some decks have deck wash facilities fitted to help this. If you have a friend who has another mower for you to try or a local JD dealer, ask them for a demo of an X series machine to see how they do the above.

  19. Scott, These shows are great to get feedback from existing users and the amount of good comments about the new TW230DHB i got from you guys was great to hear. There was also a lot of positive comments on the Black colour as opposed to the usual Orange.
  20. Who is that handsome chap in those cool shades?

  22. Hi, I have an 8ft x 4ft metal motorcycle work bench that I have in my garage on a concrete floor. I dont have a lot of room and need to move the bench to the side when not in use to allow access. It has six legs and I am looking for castors that I can fit to the legs that will retract so that the bench can be moved into position easily and then lowered down into a stable position to work on. Can you help with suggestions of what I need and where I can buy ? regards, Barry

  24. Ive still got my pen poised Ian!
