  1. No luck there (that I could find anyway) sadly - thank you for the pointer though. I’m interested in people’s interpretation of how this is meant - you cannot fell more than 5m3 in a calendar quarter. Is that quarter something pre-defined in an actual calendar, does the clock start ticking on the first day of felling, can it be treated as a rolling period with a start date of your choosing? Has the term ‘Calendar quarter’ been defined anywhere (and tested in court)? What is the day-to-day Arb/forester’s understand of the meaning?
  2. I found out last night that flap disks are really effective on skin…
  3. Hello you knowledgable lot! Can anybody point me to the definitive meaning/understanding of calendar quarter when viewed from a forestry commission felling licence perspective? Ideally written FC guidance, but I’d also be interested in hearing people’s individual understanding of the rules too if possible. Many thanks!
  4. That house looks ace, good work!
  5. Any pics of the larch/anthracite door combo?
  6. In terms of longevity it transpires ‘not very’!
  7. There was a 23 plate 9000 mile commercial (2 seater) with a big spec grenadier on Facebook for £40k plus vat which I thought looked an interesting buy at towards-sensible money. Not sensible enough for me to buy it though!
  8. I’d try them as a freebie if local and I could take them immediately from being pulled out but I definitely wouldn’t pay anything for them.
  9. Is that what they cost now? I’m even more fed up with it if so, piece of crap!
  10. It’ll go on a shelf and be used for spare parts if I do bother with another one. I’m pretty disappointed in it tbh, not sure I’m in a rush to buy another.
  11. Our MS500i has a load of play on the clutch side - the main bearing is basically goosed. Before I buy another has anyone else had this issue or have we just been unlucky? I’ll get something else if these are made of the same cheese as the MS261…
  12. The 3l Iveco engine is far and away the best out there in the 3.5 tonne vehicle market - nothing comes close to it for torque/general load lugging and towing.
  13. Are you going to recreate the new Nike St George cross?
  14. Stuck like shit to a blanket to mine - OP doesn’t have anything to lose trying.
  15. Wordle 1,006 6/6* 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟩🟩🟨 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Nearly threw my toys out of the pram…
  16. Clearview sell the paint for touching up their stoves - that works on stove pipe too. Do a few light coats, don’t try to get full coverage in one go as it will run.
  17. Exactly!!! He’d still take someone special to better him.
  18. Tyson has incredible technique, even if he hasn’t got the same outright power he had at 18 I’m sure he still has plenty! His shots come from his feet, and his speed appears to still be mega. There is absolutely no way the non-powderpuff has a chance (unless it’s a fix)…
  19. They are touching so are almost like a very wide single tyre… We’ve never had a problem with them, and no issues with MOTs (maybe that’s because of my winning smile though!). Have done 100s of thousands of miles with this setup across several vans.
  20. The husky fast chargers are total crap - I had exactly the same issue. Apparently it is an internal fuse that blows but it needs so to be soldered in so isn’t repairable (but this is only what I’ve heard). The cheaper husky non-fast chargers are seemingly more reliable!
  21. Dunno - never had a problem. They are correctly load rated so I don’t see why not.
  22. We have run them on the back of our tippers for the last 15 years - they send verge-roost miles into the air and coat anything you are towing in massive clods of turf but will regularly keep you moving when otherwise you’d be sat waiting for a tow!
  23. If you don’t care about noise get Insa Turbo Special Tracks. Not much available that are better if you are truly off road. The lugs come off them if you do extended periods at 70 mph plus though…
  24. Think you could have saved a few quid and been better set up for digging holes if you’d bought a spade mate…
