  1. I’ve been using Rotatechs in my Jensen for nearly ten years (not the same blades obviously) without a problem. Haven’t worn any quicker than genuine Jensen blades
  2. ALDIs are pretty good, along with stollen of course. no to the brandy butter or cream though 🤮 - little bit of single cream or or on their own 👍
  3. There’s a time and a plaice for all that 👍
  4. Probably Exeter rather than Essex 👍
  5. Location will help, plus access for vehicles/loading? species and sizes too
  6. Looking at other comparables anything over 20k for that is overpriced.
  7. Two eighteen hole courses near us have been built on - I remember them being turned into golf courses when I was a kid about 50 odd years ago. Now a sea of concrete and brick ☹️
  8. Only have cold drinks, even in the winter so squash, juice or even just water will do. not a fan of tea, only have one strong black filter coffee first thing in the morning which gets things moving if you know what I mean - definitely don’t want that effect whilst out working! if it’s really cold I’ll accept a hot drink just to warm my hands on. A couple of my regulars will do bacon sandwiches for us and one will pop out to Greggs for sausage rolls- love working there 👍
  9. Morning all - bit of a frost here. Just off to repollard a weeping willow and cut back some mixed hedging glad it’s going to be dry 👍
  10. One of my customers paid 180 for a cube of silver birch delivered and stacked while I was cutting her hedges. Her next load came from me at 75 for a heaped big builders bag so about .8m roughly of 90% mixed oak, cherry, syc, ash etc with a few softwood mixed in to get it going. Next order already in 👍
  11. Works fine on iPhone 👍
  12. First time ever the second crop of figs have been picked - usually dropped off with the first frosts by this time of year
  13. Morning everyone 😁 dry and bright for a change here - just pricing three today and will split a few barrow loads of logs for our use, maybe give the grass its last cut of the year
  14. Tirfor - pull left to right (as photo) then no danger of saw pinching or need to climb
  15. Morning all - wet here so sacked off big conifer reduction till tomorrow. So far behind schedule that another day won’t make much difference
  16. Sudden impact
  17. Morning all - chucking it down here in Essex again ☹️ got to finish some Eco plugging later but that’s it till Monday 👍
  18. Had mine for two weeks now and so far so good. Slightly under powered so need to work the gears but I kind of expected that after my 3L daily. seems to carry the weight ok, bit wallowy but I may put beefier springs on. Steering is very light and it’s easy to spin the wheels. Doesn’t like the muddy area at my tip site so will be a bit careful there. Comfortable to drive, almost car like, good turning circle 👍
  19. I didn’t think kid’s would know what to do with conkers nowadays? health and safety means they’d all need to wear goggles, gloves, complete a full risk assessment etc!
  20. 😂😂
  21. Add yourself to the tip site. Location will also help 👍
  22. Post up some pics - I’m sure there will be someone on here not far from you or will know someone reputable 👍
  23. Damp from dew but looks like it will be dry all day. Large beech removal so calm and not raining will be perfect 👍
  24. This should probably have gone in the jokes section, but seemed topical! Drove past yours last night mate - everything ok? 😂 0ffd4fb9-2bc4-42f1-bb3d-e20587e93bee.mp4
  25. How long has it been down? What species? Where in the country are you? Can it be stacked with maximum airflow and possibly catching the last of the warm days sun?
