Got to be easier to just chuck the current winch on Marketplace and fit a decent electric one? You're only using it sporadically.

That's just what I'm about to do with mine. Milemarker have withdrawn from Europe making spares difficult, just to add to the mix.

Aluminum roofing seal tape on a roll? Problem will be cleaning moss etc off and getting it dry enough.

If post is scrap and you just want the fittings, cut timber either side of pin to make 1ft lengths then split it out with chisel or log splitter.

I actually googled "swan timber".... 🤣

Has anyone had any experience of running a small 6T hydraulic logsplitter direct from the AGT835 own pump?

I already have pipes installed to operate a rear grapple but wisdom suggests the pump is not suitable for continuous use.

I guess it would be better to fit a pump running off the pto but no idea what size I need etc.

Have always run BFG 235/85/16 MTs on my Landy, just a had quote for £263 fitted by ATS, gulp.

Just one front tyre has worn on inside edge, every other block, makes a distinctive sound on road. Not sure whether this is down to tracking or not. Had similar on previous Landy.

I've often wondered whether it would be good for soaking up oil spills.

Supposed to be good for removing oil stains on drives but haven't tried it yet.

If the 50 trees were in a Conservation area somewhat amazed permission was given in the first place.

Did manage to get parts from Riko in the end...

Some parts came from Slovenia and all took about a month in the end.

Just for the record, I finally got a Stainless Steel replacement boiler for my stove, made by Goddard Fabrication, Brecon, Powys.

Just sent them the old one and they copied it.

How do you know when a Politician is lying?

When she/he opens their mouth.

Riko aren't  AGT dealers anymore AFAIK.

I can't imagine AGT made their own Brake shoes they must be used on other tractors as well.

Where are you AGT guys getting parts from? There doesn't appear to be any dealers post Brexit.

I can normally find alternatives on web but stumped looking for a set of new shoes for a 835, may just have to get them relined.

Never heard of HVO so just looked it up. Good points are 10 years shelf life and no bug, ideal if you don't use a big amount regularily.

Says "HVO can often be used without modification in diesel engines". What does that mean?

Tried but full moon and neighbours music show drove me in. Did see one though.

Just plant some shrubs to cover it...

Thanks Andrew, email sent.

My vintage ULEFOSS 865 Woodburner boiler has just sprung a leak. I would like to keep it going due to the hassle of finding another boiler stove.

Anybody know where I could get a new one or someone who could make a stainless steel one ??

If I had my time again I would stretch before and after every climb. 

Spot on, never climbed but stretch before and after working will save you hamstring trouble in the long run.

I've used a wire brush before with success. It also fades with time so bits that don't come off will eventually disappear.

Reckon you should find out relevant dept and put something in writing, send it recorded delivery.

Very nice old elder

Wait for the Ineos Grenadier to launch in the summer.  Looks like serious competiton.

You can get a grant for a bird? Hows that work?

Have a word with Jack Daw...

Fitted a China impulse pipe of ebay lasted a year. The OEM one I fitted later wasn't that much more.
