  2. The other one is a different tree/species?? Take the lights off it. It might be ok. Don't put anything on it. See how it is in spring/summer.
  3. I first thought Robinia. Could it be walnut, or not dark enough and too rough?
  4. Poss Ash, although some of bark not sure of..
  5. Google Image Result for https://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00aSYQJvVqAokK/Made-in-China-HQ150-with-USA-Engine-Steel-Grab-Machine.jpg IMAGES.APP.GOO.GL
  6. Or something like this, but a real one..https://images.app.goo.gl/QPyLUN2PYterZ9qTA
  7. What about a grab type thing, like those machines where you put a Euro in and get nothing in return..🤔
  8. I always thought it was a poor feature - same as with shackles. Why have such a potential 'weak link' on what is basically the most crucial part of a harness. Movement of bridges over time possibly loosening the bolts/threaded components. Loctite or not- it's lazy design. Compare with Skylotec harnesses- eliminated these weak spots. A pity that good old Willans have not kept up to date with modern designs- can't find a sturdier made harness- just not very functional by today's comparisons.
  9. I wouldn't use any gear with a shackle, Loctite or not...

  11. Industrial applications of poplar wood - Propopulus PROPOPULUS.EU ProPopulus Team In recent years, the growing demand of wood and wood-based products has stimulated an increasing interest in poplar cultivation due, among other reasons, to its fast-growing... Surprised that Poplar is not been exploited in England - packaging for food, disposable forks/spoons, etc. You see it in chip shops and on posh food packaging, but whether this is grown and manufactured i mainland Europe. I think the market will take off in the next decade. The best answer to replacing plastic packaging, etc. Lightweight, non-toxic... It's a traditional use. We're a bit slow in the UK...
  12. /images/uploads/headers/_standard/blog.jpg Major growth plans for Carters! | Richard Carter RICHARDCARTERLTD.CO.UK Richard Carter Ltd, has invested a quarter of a million pounds in to new state-of-the-art machinery and is... I believe these are forged in Yorkshire - unless they just put the handles on. Good quality.
  13. Only one way to find out...

  15. I was once questioned in the back of a police car- they had blocked the road- unbeknown to me, a local elderly lady had been found dead in her house. I seem to remember I'd seen the ambulance near her house. Anyway, on first stopping my van, one of the coppers took great interest in my step ladders. I'm a gardener I told him. This didn't seem a viable explanation to him. I think he'd played too much Cluedo as a child...On finding out it was an incident to do with the lady, I made the mistake of asking if she was ok and that she was a customer of mine. Sherlock Holmes then thought he was in line for promotion to Detective Inspector, whereby I was taken to the car. He then asked me some stupid questions - fortunately it came through on the radio that it was a non suspicious death. It's good that some are keen to catch criminals, but that unfortunately some are t!t heads and have a clever a$$ attitude.

  17. it all depends on your budget and how much you think it's worth from a business point of view. No way would I fork out for the high speed stuff but possibly a couple of 4ah standard batteries and hedge cutter with backpack for batteries. Use in conjunction with my Makita gear which likes malfunctioning quite often - 3 Yr warranty is only thing that makes them reasonable option. However looks like the Kress is 3 year as well.
  18. Its £200 for 60 volt 4 ah battery and £110 for a 5 amp charger. Probably cheaper than competitors for that voltage/ah. It's the high speed chargers and batteries that cost a fortune- probably local authorities and big companies would only pay that money.
  19. I think that price is for the fancy batteries and high speed charger- 8 minute charge time. Not sure if there is a bog standard 60 volt they offer. The 40 volts are cheaper obviously.

  22. Just spotted today on FB, apparently very old German company...
  23. Home - KRESS Robotic mower and professional garden tools WWW.KRESS.COM Today traditional brands, urged by the growing environmental awareness, are adding cordless... I was wondering if anyone had used these tools. Long established German company. New to me...
  24. They seem to suffer from this- whether it's fungal attack?? Anyway, like others stated, they are tough. Cut it back here and it should be ok.
