  1. Not very pc Mark, but very true
  2. Ditto.
  3. We also had a land agent who was excellent and we talked through our options over the 2 yrs, his advice once we had a sale agreed was take the sale and run.
  4. Plenty more to come for the wick area. To get any compensation from ssen we would have had to sold the house for what we could get, hold onto the land for the next 5-10 yrs and go after ssen for what we could get, too old old and damaged for all that malarkey for another 10-30k. And sell the land separately.
  5. Where abouts is that? We lost 10% in value and consider ourselves lucky to loose as little, We know of someone else that lost 18%. The 70m pylons are 140m from the house.
  6. Yep was near Huntly, but bailed out with all the shit from SSEN pylons and substations which is not needed. They wanted to put pylons on our fields, no asking, just slam dunk there you are. British and Scottish government along with SSEN are screwing up Scotland nicely, England and Wales are doing the same just a few years behind, Sorry to be bitter but we are damaged after the last few years.
  7. Wester Laggan, Dulnain bridge?, long time since I have been up at the masts.

  10. Lad I knew did that 10 yrs ago cut his thumb off, tried to sew it back on not successful though, now got half a thumb, was a proper job. Used to use felco battery ones in the late 90's just when they came out, doing a couple of thousand orchard trees each year.

    Chickens?

    5 peachicks last Friday.
  13. True, but don't go there, we are already 6 pages in.
  14. Thanks Mark, my thoughts exactly. User finds its always slipping.
  15. Should it not come out roughly between top right black rope?
  16. Is this right? The routing of red line is this correct, only passing through the the silver metal guide and not through the body as well. Metal guide is located with only 1 grub screw on one side, surely not load bearing.
  17. All the bits you have done , with relay etc are for stress control. Kubota engine are pretty basic, its probably to do with the ignition switch they are known to fail. How clean is fuel tank, could be water in fuel or crud floating around blocking the pick up pipe.

    Series 1?

    Yes, Just like our 80".
  19. Mine used to, changed exhaust cover to a twin port, which improved matters by reducing heat on the chain brake handle.
  20. Have had good results with Icade at keeping it under control
  21. What is the location of your tip site ?
  22. I do work for SGN, on one of there sites in Fife on approaching the site via a disused Energy Park, there were our travelling friend digging up the access road to nick the power cables. They had the lot hi vis, road saws diggers etc, they did a far better job of cutting trenches than the council. They did fry a lad though by cutting a live mains, so some room for improvement.
  23. I use an old pump up hozelock sprayer for gearbox/ axle oils
  24. Thanks for link, already sorted made a new pin out of stainless rod.
