  1. Peregrine’s favoured nesting site is at the top of a nicely pruned German pine, every twitcher knows that…
  2. They were called shifters on the Australian trawler I worked on 30 years ago.
  3. Is your battery charged and your flywheel free to turn? If you can’t turn it by hand then you need to clear whatever is blocking it (sometimes only a small piece of chip).
  4. Can’t they be buried in a bund at the end of the driving range?
  5. Can you get hold of the rack with needle nosed pliers and pull it gently?
  6. There are a few sheltered generations fortunate enough to have grown up with absolutely no exposure to fear, threat or sacrifice nowadays (including my own) - I don’t think it hurts one bit to keep this front and centre to hopefully instil some sort of recognition of what came before and what might be. I don’t see any sort of one-upmanship where I live for what it’s worth, and really don’t think it has become more of an ‘event’ than it ever used to be (I was actually thinking it had become quite the opposite which I find rather sad).
  7. THIS ADVERT HAS EXPIRED!

    Bobcat E27 mini excavator. 2019 with only 954 hours. Please note! - This is not an E27z (which are very common hire-fleet spec machines) it is the much rarer higher-spec E27 (non-zero, but still only minimal rear overhang) with bigger engine and more powerful hydraulics. These are great arb-diggers due to their power, stability and ability to still legally tow them! This digger has two sets of joystick-operated proportional-controlled dual-acting hydraulics, so is plumbed up ready-to-go on a 4-hose tilt-rotator or selector/timber grab. Additionally, it has the heavier factory rear counterweight (it is very stable for its size), a direct-to-tank case-drain line, hydraulic quickhitch plumbing/electrics, keypad start, radio, suspension seat, blade float, lights, auto-idle, and tracking pedals (which fold away). And it can still be towed legally on a plant trailer… I have owned this machine from new and it has been regularly greased and serviced (including final drive oil changes). Some of the paint is failing and a couple of bonnet panels would benefit from a respray - I’d rather sell it as-is so any potential buyers can see exactly what they are looking at (instead of hiding anything under a 5 gallon refurb…). The paint on the boom and dipper is good though. It is being sold for £23000 plus vat bare-stick (ie WITHOUT the quickhitch or any buckets/attachments) - the quickhitch plumbing and controls will remain fitted though. For £24500 plus vat I would include the Engcon S40 hydraulic quickhitch and 2 lightly used Engcon S40 buckets (600mm toothed digging bucket and 300mm toothless cable bucket). For £25500 plus vat I would also include the Intermercato Tigergrip TG-16 PRO SR5 timber grab with S40 pickup - this grab would bolt straight to a rotator to make an already useful attachment even better (we ran it under a Rototilt but that isn’t available for sale). Machine is located near Nantwich, Cheshire. Viewing/driving welcome by appointment. Machine to be sold with full VAT invoice. Machine can be held for upto a week with a £1000 deposit - it will otherwise remain for sale until I am in possession of funds I’m afraid. Please feel free to ask any questions! All the best, Dan

  8. ****************whittery of the highest order, what a pair of weapons.
  9. That puts everything into perspective, with all of the crocodile and lion attacks that take place every year in the UK… How do they compare to chav-dog attacks out of interest?
  10. I remember reading about this at the time - what a lovely thing!
  11. Burn as many tyres/caravans/chemical containers/thieves as possible that have accumulated over the last 12 months….

    Cabstar

    Watch for rust pretty much everywhere in the cab (under the seats, in the footwells and up the rear panel are typical spots). Later engines with DPFs don’t do well if idled for any periods of time or used for short journeys - they need regular long runs.
  14. Why would you put anything with nails through it, surely you’ll just damage the blades?
