    you will not dig it out as it can go down 10ft try Gallup pro but it could take 3 years to kill it off

    when global warming is mentioned nothing is said about the rockets and bombs that are used in the wars/conflicts the last figures that I have seen said the uk produce 1% of the global greenhouse gas so if we got to 0% it would not make any difference dos any one have figures of how much co2 is produced to manufacture wind turbines/solar panels from scratch to producing electric into the grid (witch will need replacing after about 20 years) also read a article today about the rise of the electric car saying because of the loss of the fuel duty etc road tolls will be introduced and will cost the average driver £700 per year

    was this for the town council, canal and river trust or the E/A.it was on the local radio last week stated the T/C got contractors in to clear the flotsam from the arches near the bank and were complaining that they did not get the flood warning till late morning where the river peeked about 4am. the water level came up to about 2ft below the top of the arches

    I do not think the private consumer will give a toss as to what logos you have on your logs as long as they burn and are a keen price

    do not use wd40 as it will rot the sheathing over time just use thin oil and do it regular

    I hate to think what this thread will be like in a few years time when there is only battery power available, maybe how far will it pull a chipper/trailer or where can I get some derv for my old truck

    try putting some light oil into the cable housing and work it in do not use wd40 as this will degrade the sheathing on the cable sorry for the underlining I cannot get rid of it

    Handsaw

    daveatdave replied to dumper's topic in General chat

    a proper cross cut saw not the 5 for a tenner, they have a larger set on the teeth maybe a straight pruning saw will do or get a saw set and use it on the saws you already have and a file to sharpen them

    what with winter coming

    do not forget the data security that you have to do with the finger print if the blokes resent it I can see it will not work like it should plasters on the fingers mud on there hands etc even the wire getting damaged the list goes on how many blokes do you have

    I used to suck leaves up with the hand held stop to empty the bag about every 60 seconds if there was a lot of leaves and if you was doing borders it sucked the soil up and sanded the impeller ends down now I just blow them into a heap and use helping hands and a plastic leaf rake to pick them up its much quicker

    I used to do about 200 for a bloke that sold them at road side you will need a strong back knee pads and plenty of gloves waterproofs and thermals they might net them in the fields then stack them on to the trailers the work goes on no matter what the weather as to supply the contracts, quite a lot of growers use tree sheers instead of saws now
