  1. The chipper type on eBay would be a good first chipper. But it's over priced. I've a entec ch25 and it's been great. 2001 model. No plans to change it, as it does exactly what I want it to do. I wouldn't pay more that £2500 for that chipper.
  2. I've seen the odd thing like that. But to be honest, I see the knacker Lorry nearly every day up our area, and I think the vast majority are now disposed of legally around here.
  3. 1980's as mentioned in my previous post that you commented on.
  4. Cheers, Gdh. Sort of answer I was looking for.
  5. I was looking for an answer mull. Hence, the question mark at the end of the sentences. I was not advocating what was written. However, I'm not too daft on agricultural issues. My father and grandfather were brought up on upland sheep farms. I live about a mile from one of the largest ship auction marts in England, and have done so for the past 47 years. so I do have a clue, Mr Mull.
  6. Perhaps, as soon as Brexit is up and running, we should go down the same road as New Zealand, and abolish farm subsidies all together?. NZ did it in the 1980's and have never looked back. Can anyone explain how they can run a profitable business rearing and exporting lamb over here with no subsidies?
  7. If you can confirm, where you lost it, you can have it back.
  8. Done quite a bit of detecting in the past, Paul. Still have the detector, (laser power max 2) but haven't used it in a while. The thrill of finding a hammered coin is something never to be forgotten. Found loads of junk too, my most unusual find was a unused condom, wrapped in foil, with a manufacture date of 1973.
  9. Thanks kev. Think I may have it sorted
  10. Ok, I'm a limited company. I'm the only director. I've two people who are on the books and only work part time for me. Both earn under £10,000. Neither want a workplace pension. Neither do I. So, my accountant has me signed up to Now Pensions, even though none of the employees or myself want anything to do with workplace pensions. This is costing me around £15 per month. Do I as an employer, legally need this?
  11. Has it been frosted. Never used the stuff. But, this sort of thing happened to me with kerb-flo
  12. To be honest. I'm looking at a change of career. I've been working with trees for 31 years now. Work is getting harder and I've lost a bit of enthusiasm. Hopefully have a new challenge in the pipeline next year.
  13. Well done. Just goes to show what you can do with a bit of determination. I too, went to houghall over 20 years ago. Perhaps, if things were different, I might also have gone on to do a degree course.
  14. Perhaps there should be an NPTC unit to assess your fitness. They seems to be one for everything else?
  15. There's your answer. Job justification from the planners
  16. They come up quite often on eBay. If you can wait a while, you might find a good one on there for around £2500. The rear end of the ch25 is the same as the older 150. So parts should be available.
  17. I've had mine just over 10 years. In that time the things replaced has been, new axle, new exhaust, new rotor fins and new no-stress. The main bearing is fine and has never been replaced. I'm sure it's the original 15 year old rotor bearing. Don't think that's too bad for 10 years work.
  18. I've a entec ch25 at the moment. It's a cracking chipper, and I'd buy another. Mines one of the last made, may 2001. I'm not too sure about parts availability. They are quite heavy on petrol. I tend to disagree about needing 30hp or above. mine will chip all day with no problems. Everything over 3 or 4 inches is a log, so it don't get abused. I also spend a lot of time traveling over the dales. It's light and easily manovered Saying that, mine is 15 years old. I'd buy another, if they were still making them. But your own market and financial position determines what to go for.
  19. I'm sure you'll find it ok. let us know what you think of it.
  20. 16l 2000 model Had them both for about 3 or 4 years. No problems
  21. Actually, o think they may be 16l
  22. I have 2, both 15l yellow ones. Can find out the model tomorrow if you wish. Been spraying bracken with them today, and for the last fortnight. No problems at all. The extendable lance comes as standard with them. I think it's an extra with other sprayers.
  23. Still using the same berthoud. Still no problems. recommend to anyone.
  24. Check out Elmer Bernstein, a great film music composer. The great escape, magnificent seven, commencheros.
