Trump coming out swinging with a flurry of executive orders from the get go! Some of my favourites: “ Unvaccinated federal workers As part of a directive reversing Biden-era policies, Trump revoked a mandate that federal workers must be vaccinated with the Covid vaccine. He has promised to reinstate the 8,000 military service members who were discharged due to the Pentagon's Covid vaccine mandate - with full backpay. Diversity and gender Transgender people Trump issued an executive order declaring that the US will only recognise "two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality." The order will affect transgender policy regarding government communications, civil rights protections and federal funding, as well as prisons. It will affect official documents like passports and visas. DEI In the same executive order, Trump ended all government programmes, policies, statements and communications that promote or support "gender ideology". In a separate executive order, he halted all "diversity, equity and inclusion" (DEI) programmes within the federal government. The order is called "ending radical and wasteful government DEI programs and preferencing". The order covers all federal agencies and includes those that get federal grants, or have federal contracts.” Up to date list here: What executive orders did Trump sign on day one?

I prefer this type. Can dispense as well as extract and come with nozzles for filling car gearboxes etc. 6L Pneumatic Transmission Fluid Pump Oil Refilling Transfer Pump Oil Extractor WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Function --- This multi-purpose automatic transmission fluid (ATF) extractor and dispenser uses vacuum... I would pull your filter and double check the number on it. Only takes a minute. They could well have changed the filter housing between your model and my fairly recent model.

No. Just sell it roadside.

I use an airline powered vacuum extractor. You can get 12v ones cheaply that should work well on warm engine oil. Pretty sure the filter is every 500 hours, I certainly wouldn’t be doing it every six months. Hours matter, ages doesn’t really. It’s only going to degrade/block up whilst oil is being pushed through it. I did mine the other day, I’ll check my eBay history and post a link. It’s a Donaldson P171502

It’s officially an Arb digger!

The main drawback is the legality of it. Legally if they work directly under your instruction then they should be part time paye. that said, everyone seems to do it and get away with it.

Whilst I agree with your sentiment especially re security, this isn’t America with tons of public land anyone can take a rifle or bow on to hunt. let’s be realistic, any form of legal ‘feeding yourself from hunting’ in this country requires more than a small degree of privilege- either paying for shooting rights or being chummy enough with large landowners.

Agree re avant, but we are talking about pedestrian mini skid steers. Where the operator is the counterweight. Remove the operator and they are front heavy.

I bet everyone on here tracks a tracked chipper up a ramp standing behind it without thinking about it? The thing is, mini loaders are a lot more twitchy than a tracked chipper. The 13hp models can also run out of steam loading in reverse up a ramp with a heavy operator on them. That's then super dangerous because if you stall it you have no engine braking and it will run away back down the ramp. Ideally you would use long ramps on a low trailer. For the more adventurous who wish to load into a transit- standing behind it is the most controlled method in my experience.

Going up forwards is easy so long as you don’t stand on the machine. reversing up feels worse.

As per title- does anyone have something I could adapt? Mainly small scale forestry felling and forwarding with the log bullet.

Yeah that’s fine. I use 10w40 in all my basic diesel and petrol engines. no reduction case on these it’s a direct drive to the pump.

At least £100 a ton delivered in these days, and probably more.

I'd never go back to an open cab alpine tractor, thats for sure.
