I don't think you would have known much about it if a torpedo had set your whole cargo off!
-
Amen to all that. I have both X27 (and X17 for smaller stuff) and Oxdale splitter though not tractor mounted. Both (all three) are excellent

Not like you to say it straight Steve when crippling sarcasm will do 🤣
-
Some drainage issues there. Any ditches nearby that are supposed to take the water away or is the problem more localised, e.g. compaction? Perhaps a tractor with a leg behind it in the late summer would help 😲

Likewise. Bear in mind that the grease does tend to migrate to one end of the gearbox so plenty grease overall doesn't = good lubrication everywhere

Meet my wood gobbler 😏 The lignin licker From chopped to chipped

I've had a pair of Cofra chainsaw boots; they were pretty mediocre

Don't use anything rigid for the safety flap. If you're chipping blackthorn, apple or anything with jaggy shaped branches (you know what I mean) they can start chipping fine and then get turned sideways by the change in shape as the first bits get chipped and just sit there - wedged behind the safety flap You need flexible flaps 🤪 to be able to extract said branches and try again

Oh my gawd; beefy flaps on my poor little pencil sharpener. What would the neighbors think?

I've had a couple of pairs of composite capped shoes from here and loved them; logsplitting, hedgecutting, basic saw use in my own garden - everything in fact except most chainsaw use. But the full range looks like it should contain something I'd be willing to use for that too Shop All WWW.AMBLERSSAFETY.COM Safety boots for all industries, make sure you have The Right Boot For The Right Job. Tough Working Comfort. Ironically it was only lunchtime today I was bemoaning the ridiculous size and weight of chainsaw boots to an ex Jonesie employee who has also had his own similar business: 'I know' he said - 'they're all shit'! He was particularly scathing about Meindls other than the Waldlaufers

You need to up your game and get the next branch tip in before anything can fly out! Personally I'm not bothered by the odd bit flying out; the machine can have a second go at it Two of the five rubber flaps have broken off my machine so I've got a bit anal about keeping my visor down all the time, something I must admit I don't always do as my best ear defenders are on a headband I was disappointed at how poorly one of the rubber flaps chipped! No feed roller on the JB

I've found with my Jo Beau that you get better mincing of the greenery and less blockage from it if you post narrow brush like that into the machine the wrong way round. You get a better mix of green and brown material being chipped together: with the branch the 'right' way round you chip all the brown, then all the green

They're sitting on nests

A couple of recent shots taken by Her Maj literally from the comfort of her armchair

Oh dear 🤭

Plucked from the ether! Good one. A 6 for me today thanks to what some call a letter chase
-
Heck yeah. NME, Melody Maker listing bands' tours always had 'Leicester de Montfort Hall' on the itinerary; as fixed a part of a tour as the Hammy Odeon
-
Yes and putting tax on fuel is like pay per mile! More miles = more fuel used = more tax paid!
-
Also Les Dawson... I wouldn't say the mother-in-law was ugly but if Moses had seen her there would have been eleven commandments
-
Is this thinking too simplistic? Scrap all road tax except for ev's (which can be taxed low) and put a penny more tax on fuel. The more you use the roads the more you pay towards their so called upkeep. Won't happen as road tax has become a mini industry employing God knows how many. I must be missing something!

Spent many hours as a four or five year old seeing how many stairs I could jump from and land on the Victorian tiled hall floor at the bottom. I could do seven - just - but never eight. I must have worn a patch in the carpet on that eighth stair trying but the smashed face, knees, legs, elbows never told me 'you can't do eight'. Stupid? I'm told it can't be fixed

Advice for hard cutting of very overgrown hedge
nepia replied to Ren's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I'd do exactly what Dan suggests. The fact that the hedge is atop a bank like it is suggests an old hedgerow which makes it well worthwhile maintaining/rejuvenating for Nature's sake. What's in your pic will be teeming with mini beasts and for the full 100m. Try not to damage the bank and its covering too much and Nature will repay -
