And it can carry the chip away

Briggs EFI engine by any chance? Search on the forum, it's not good news I'm afraid. An absoloute pup of an engine.
-
As above, horrible for logs but good for brash. I'd get one with a flat bottom (a bucket grab) as it's much easier to skid along the ground without digging in.
-
If you don’t have a motor spool (only double acting spools) then the easiest thing to do is to make an adaptor to thread a quick connect into the back end fill port.
-
I hope you took it back to the shop and asked for your money back! Obviously after insinuating that they must have swapped the pot and piston before selling it to you!
-
Fair play- it’s certainly as dark as satans arsehole this morning!

Grade 2 Listed Building - What if different species of tree planted
doobin replied to NightOwl's topic in Trees and the Law
Was the garden actually covered in the listing? You can check online. Often it’s just external features such as windows, type of brickwork etc. If buying a property, an indemnity policy to cover you against the costs of any future reinstatement for stuff the previous owner did without consent is surprisingly cheap. So it’s really not a problem if buying a listed place that isn’t quite as it should be. The whole system is complaint driven, so a lot goes un-noticed. -
Yup

What forecast are you using? Doesn’t look too bad to me, a few mm overnight but then we’ve had that the last few nights also.

Control of pendulous sedge ( Carex pendula )
doobin replied to Alan Smith's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
A mini digger on bog mats or wide tracks with a rotating grab is a good method for the large clumps. Whereabouts in West Sussex? -
Either grade will do. Not familiar with that engine but I’d say mineral will be fine- it’s a small enough engine not to have dpf etc.
-
Loosing this loader would be like losing a leg. You simply cannot compare to a digger and dumper. The ability to pick things or aggregate up and place it exactly where needed saves hours of time
-
I love it when people get pissy when others tell them their thing isn’t worth what they think it is. it’s like selling houses. “our house won’t sell! It’s been on the market for ages! It must be the living room carpet/colour of the walls/ the market it funny right now” No. it’s the price. It’s always the price.
-
M denotes Mtronic, so if the saw doesn’t have that then you won’t have any of the electrical issues and will be able to tune the carb manually.
-
You’ll always find other work for a tractor also. I only bought my first three years ago but I’m already up to three.
-
A flail mower is where I draw the limit at powered loader attachments. They are for lifting and grabbing, no replacement for a tractor pto.
-
Yes! Stick them on the finance, the monthly extra will soon be forgotten. Can never have enough attachments.
-
That’s what I’d do. Not sure why this post got laughs.
-
A digger will be much better than a Sherpa for woodland clearances, stacking logs, scraping up, pulling brambles, digging out stumps etc. A Sherpa is ideal for moving things about quickly with very little mess. I started with a minidigger, I love my Sherpa but I'm glad I didn't start with one otherwise I'd quickly have b ecome frustrated I think.

I bet OP wishes he hadn’t skipped woodwork class now…
-
All relies upon being there to make the sale. Much easier to match the lowest common denominator but also to offer a ‘better deal’ option. Otherwise you spend all day trying to convince people and halfwits just think you’re trying to have them on. the other option is to have a good infographic on your website or advert (which I think is what OP is after) and leave the halfwits to the employed Saturday special log ‘companies’ so a photo of the label you suggest would work for that. I’m sure a Google will find something though.

There are multiple bulk bag sizes but what the UK public know as a ‘builders bag’ is half a cube
-
A builders bag is 0.8mx0.8mx0.8m. This equals 0.5m3. 0.5m3 x1.8 ton/metre of aggregate is 900kg. Never filled all the way to the top, hence the 850kg +/- 50kg of aggregate that the builders merchants specify. It’s far easier to offer a builders bag of logs too. Charge 75% of the cube cost for that and if they’re too dumb to listen to your explanation on the phone then happy days.

Often see mower repair shops try to use a bench grinder to sharpen mower blades too…
-
A file grinder is ideal. 60 grit ceramic belt works well for me. Milwaukee do a nice cordless one. https://www.powertoolworld.co.uk/milwaukee-m12-fbfl13-0-12v-13mm-brushless-belt-sander-file-body-only
