    Archery

    Let me start by saying I know nothing ,nada etc about bows and arrows, however if this was an axe would you recommend they bought best Chinese or bought a quality secondhand that should keep its value if in six months it was not used and if it was used would perform excellent,just my thought!
  2. The secret to good grass seeding is preparation, good prep means a fine compact even soil with organic matter and nutrients, if you have this then seed by hand work of a ladder. If you have access to the top of the slope get blec cultipack rope it to a vehicle and starting at bottom of slope work your way along and up shortening the rope as you go if your soil is stone and builders waste just Chuck seed over and forget same as hydro seeding but much cheaper
  3. Carbide blade will do the job no problem try not to let it get blunt turn the blade every two or three tanks and if gets really blunt strike it with a hard file to fracture the cluster
  4. Square posts will be interesting a man with a knocker and round posts could do 200 m in a day augering and backfilling be lucky to do 75 m and then how are you going to treat the posts last precious little time when treated in the round.
  5. Like the advert interesting style
  6. Till he hits a nail
  7. So you are saying my defender 12 n socket can’t tow a trailer wired with a 13 pin plug via an adapter
  8. Just wire in a reverse light to trailer and use adapter on car
  9. Any loader is better than none if it’s what you can afford then buy it, look after it if it is not right after a while trade it back against another, your back will thankyou maybe not now but defiantly in time. try and get it on a demo even if only for few hours
  10. Would you trust a Chinese mewp????
  11. Put up a vid of it working interested to see how it performs
  12. Ad was 10 years ago saws probably on scrap heap now
  13. Had avant flail old style retrofitted hammers pulled all the lugs off the rotor, better converting a hedgeflail head if you want to cut timber go for bidirectional flail cutters will then cut grass etc as well
  14. I have a Omar flail half the price of avant just as good, Klou make some good flails with the motors matched to machine flow and pressures well worth talking to them
  15. Hope you didn’t crease or mark the pages!!!!
  16. Martin beano and daily sport don’t count
  17. Let’s have some examples please
  18. If you are not excavating follow doobin get a mini loader
  19. If placed at 45 degrees to the truck cab I can get three builders bags on
  20. My 130 derfender would easily take two bags bed is 2.4 metres, depending on size maybe three
  21. Do you get cupholder with the new bobcat loaders
  22. I ran turf pattern tyres for one set great for turf laying and working in the dry as soon as a bit of moisture appeared they spun. Trying to carry large roll turf up slight slope just sat and spun, couldn’t drive in a straight line on slope with bucket of soil , very soft side walls, sliced and gouged by stones, but didn’t mark lawns at all and wore out very quickly on tarmac and concrete found the industrial pattern much better and lasted a lot longer , still have turf set just in case though and bar grip ag pattern just for muddy jobs put on set on forwards and one on backwards
  23. Turf tyres are soft not always suited to loader work, depends what you do they also have no traction in the wet, I run ag and industrial pattern neither cut up badly, traction do suffer from punctures more but in mud they are the only one that work ask yourself why a part used set of tyres are up for sale
  24. Diggers are cheap and easy to hire , it’s a dive to the bottom with price, try hiring a mini loader, far more skill needed to operate so not so available
