Your pruning technique is getting much better mate, six months ago that would have been half a yard lower! Spike mate, there's loads of that sort of 'work' going on my round way too, it's the client's fault as much as the cutter.
-
A very useful link in general, thanks!
-
They will alter the intake / exhaust ports & the exhaust can, & will most likely give great improvements.
-
Sounds like you had fun there, lets hope it dries a bit so we can get finished!
-
That redeems the venerable landy somewhat, how did you get it out?

Arbtalk has united a lot of tradesmen through knowledge & the ability to communicate with each other on a central hub, Steve & others who contribute here, deserve the highest accolade this industry can provide. Congratulations on being recognised for your tireless efforts & foresight.

I went into a bakers the other day and there were all these cakes for 50p each, then there was another cake for £1, when I asked why it was more expensive, she replied "thats madiera cake!!"
-
I will try & get some pics of mine, I bought it 5 or 6 years ago for about £300.

Got mine, a 4 tine one, made by Digbits, it is a very usefull bucket for rooting out smallish stuff, balling up bramble etc & just breaking up ground for levelling, the tines are welded to a hollow tube, so I can fabricate extension tines on each side & pin them on, just got to get round to doing it. Also I intend to fit a removable 'thumb' on the boom so I can use it as a as a glorified grab. Mine is on a quick hitch, & the setup is invaluable imo.

That was one sticky site today, the landy did well, but the helping hand was erm, usefull. I really like the Ranger,if I get6 round to retiring one will be gracing my driveway.
-
Fair play to you Daniel, The ford Ranger is now firmly on my wishlist, I would have been there till next summer!
-
She's even more foxy than you are mate!
-
Many a good tune played on an old fiddle!
-
I'm not an arborist either, my main living is with a toothbrush recycling firm, but I'm on here as I like to spam & flame Felixthechopper, & I must thank Mr Bulman & crew for allowing me to grace these hallowed halls with my diatribe!

The owner of the tree has responsibility for removal & costs incurred, no one can accurately say how long it will stand, but strong autumn winds could see it in trouble. I would get a professional in to evaluate & price for potential removal, they will most likely talk to the tree officer on the council if they find it an immediate threat, something not possible to do from pictures alone.

Here is a link to the fungi directory, ( in the toolbar at the top). Meripilus giganteus - Giant polypore - David Humphries’s Fungi Directory - Arbtalk.co.uk | Discussion Forum for Arborists
-
Looks like Meripilus giganteus to me, others will be along to confirm as I am not the best at this. If so it does not bode well for the tree.

Less ethanol, higher octane, should work better in high performance engines, both s & 4 stroke.

You probably had a 'lemon', they do happen due to abuse / lack of decent maintenance by previous owners. The dealer who only wanted to work on the 'green wellie' versions was after yuppy money, some are. You need to be careful what you buy, the ones that have had everything replaced are often the ones that have been abused at some time.

Mine has not broke down in 5 years, nor the ones before it, all second hand, just look after them. I can get 4.5 to 5 m of chip on mine, but I doubt that would be legal, payload of 1.25 ton roughly. The 130 single cab spreads the axle loading better than the 110. I'm getting 25 ish mpg unless I tow a heavy load. People that say they are cr*p just don't know what they are on about, listen to those who have used them over a long period of time, if they were a bad motor we wouldn't be using them.
-
Yep, its a nice looking bike Mr Noon! I would look for a sump/ frame bash plate to keep it fresh.
-
Vey nice tools those Echo trimmers.
-
I do like the look of the old dr's, used to have the 350, was a lovely bike. I checked the valves etc in my wr, all in spec, did the free mods, as you say mate, one is to retard the exhaust cam one notch on the cam chain, & hit an mx practice track last Sunday, all was well apart from geared too high ( i4 tooth front, but I have a 13 to put in there). The bike is a bit of a handful if you get heavy handed on a tight track.
-
Most likely have gummed up the carb imo. I would get it cleaned out pronto, it is unlikely to clear on its own.
