  1. Rice is definitely out- way too many carbs. Rule of thumb- avoid grains. Cheese is open to interpretation. Particularly the mature cheeses- the nutrients are right, even if not strictly Paleo. High in fat and protein, low/no carbs.
  2. It is possible to bulk on keto (heavy cream etc) But you'd be better off asking that question on the bodybuilding.com forums.
  3. 99% that replacing the fuel filter will sort it. Park it up on concrete and check for a leak in the morning for your peace of mind.
  4. You'll not get anything in that budget from a dealer without it being rubbish. Look for private sales. Rubber tracks are fine, I have studs for mine if the going gets tough. I'm not too far from you if you want a knowledgeable eye to look over any prospective purchase, particularly if it's to the South of you. Just PM me.

  6. Don't need tickets for a lawnmower as far as I'm aware....
  7. Organic products are highly recommended. Bad breath ('metal breath') is a sign of ketosis- burning fat rather than carbs. Good sign, just buy some mouthwash and keep it in the truck. If you are hungry, EAT! Chow down a pork belly steak. Have a bowl of cabbage microvaved in butter. If you are in ketosis, your body will burn those fats and proteins for fuel, not store them. It's not a diet in which you starve yourself. Your body is programmed to store fats in times of excess- ie. when you've eaten ample carbs and then have the pack of pork scratchings on top. If you are running on fat you have to eat a hell of a lot more fat to store any. How many on here are aiming for ketosis to loose weight and how many just want to eat natural? Myself, I'm happy with weight at 6' tall and 11st 4lbs, 12% body fat. I eat keto because I enjoy it. I sometimes have a few apples or some dried fruit, knocking me out of ketosis for a bit. Now I've lost the weight it's no biggy. I know that if I started eating all the wheat and sugar products, I'd be straight back up to 13/14 stone. Screw that. Keep it up guys!
  8. But then you have the costs of transporting and disposing of the stump, plus filling the giant hole in. I've always wondered about the digger mounted normal stump grinders.
  9. You will struggle to reach stumps on banks due to the length of the auger and planer blade dangling from the dipper? I would have thought the blade would dull very quickly.
  10. That's a very wide ranging budget. Is it solely for PTO work?
  11. Mitox LS 700 if you can stretch to £450. If not then a Mitox or Alko horizontal splitters are about £250 and beat an axe hands down. Modify it so the ram doesn't return all the way, or to make it one handed, and it will be fast enough to begin with.
  12. And what's going to replace it? That's right, another second hand gamble... An old tractor is worth 2k, that's it. Far better to know that the engine in your 2k old tractor is a good one (rebuilt) than to scrap it and buy another 2k tractor. Please don't think we're having a go. But the loss will be much more than it could have been as you sold it to a scrapyard for the bottom of the bottom money.
  13. Sorry to be a pessemist, but at £100 a ton it'll be about £260. Get it back if you can. Rebuilds are cheap.
  14. You technically don't but your body tells you you do. They may well give you a boost, I 'relapsed' three or four times during the changeover. Now I know I don't need them, but it took time. 'Carbing up' once a week if you are training heavily is encouraged in certain circles. It's not so much a strict diet as a lifestyle, and the most important thing is finding out what works for you.
  15. Solid as in reliable or solid as in seized? Remember to put oil in the next one won't you?
  16. You must be nuts. That tractor will now be in the listings page of Classic Tractor as a 'project' for 4x what the scrapman gave you.... International/David Brown are the best value for money for what you want. Should be able to get a straightish one with a loader for 2k.
  17. Forget the tickets, you don't need them as it's only you. Buy a small trailer (you can also use this for garden work). Buy a smallish Stihl chainsaw and electric log splitter. Total investment under 1k. Sell 10 cubic metres of logs at £100/metre and you've paid for it all. But keep it as a sideline and expand the garden work. Employ a labourer and double your money on him. That's where the money is.
  18. Try it with a strimmer head with no cord loaded before you blame anything but the hedgecutter head.

    pricing/rates

    You will find much more help and openness regarding pricing and the 'going rate' on the landscape juice forum, rather than on here where cagey is the name of the game.... HTH.
  20. There is debate about whether or not it fits. Mature cheddar contains very little lactose (even some 'lactose intolerant' people can eat it) I personally wouldn't give it up, and as it's mainly ft and protein then all is good. I got into this way of eating by going keto- under 30g of carbs per day to force your body into ketosis and burn fat as a primary fuel. Paelo allows for more carbs than this- you don't need to be in ketosis to eat Paleo. The main thing is to drop the sugar and grains. Whoever has started their diet at the beginning of this thread should be starting to experience keto flue/carb withdrawl symptoms. Good luck! Once you've done it a few times you can drop back in without the flue symptoms if you give in to temptation. Eventually, sugar and grain products loose their temptation, and you crave juicy steaks and buttered veg
  21. Did you add mustard to the eggs? I've just had chopped broccoli in butter, with garlic, pepper and a sprinkling of grated cheese on top. Awesome.
  22. Echo are the same money as Stihl.
  23. The digger is not designed for that I'm afraid.
  24. Don't overlook the MS250. Much cheaper than the 261, lighter too. Not a 'pro' saw but a good saw and will run a Picco Micro chain (1.1mm if you want!) which means it will keep up with an MS261. 12" 1.1mm bar is vicious on it. You can also run up to 16" without changing the sprocket to .325. Just make sure you order it as 3/8P, not .325. I found the MS261 heavy and clumsy, and thought 'why not just have an MS362'
  25. It should carry your buckets fine. Huck is right though, it will have far less power lifting up. Make sure it sits down on the ground and you can drop the blade further to 'unhitch'.
