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.

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

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.

Echo are the same money as Stihl.

The digger is not designed for that I'm afraid.

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'

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'.

Much better than a grain based breakfast. If you're on a maintenance Paleo diet then it's probably great. However, if you are trying to shed weight via ketosis, the onion and tomatoes probably have a touch too many carbs.

With respect, no no no. Butter is a hundred times better for you than processed vegetable oils. Lard is even better as it's direct from the animal. Fat is good. Paleo/keto is running your body on fat and protein instead of carbohydrates. Feed it the best fats you can. Not highly processed veg oil. Excess of carbohydrates, particularly sugar, is the main reason people get fat. Agree re the salt, your body will tell you what you need. I know when I need more salt, then it's time for a Marmite broth!

You won't want it if you do it properly.

Are you goals weight loss or just a better life and stable blood sugar? With the steak, I started by 'getting two and not the chips' but soon found that my eyes were still set at the level my stomach was a month or so ago! One steak and some salad is plenty for me now. My pot belly is gone- BUT- I also gave up the beer, which helped immensely. Beer is full of empty calories. There's no reason not to enjoy a beer in moderation. Some people, particularly if training, do 'carb-ups' where they eat what they like a day a week, or a day a fortnight. Bodybuilding.com forums are a wealth of information on this. I used to do seven pints a night no problem. Now, there's no way I could face that so I do a whiskey in a pint of water. Bear in mind that alcohol stops any burning of body fat whilst your body processes it, so if weight loss is a primary aim then giving up the alcohol would be one of the best things you could do, along with eating Paleo. The most important thing that everyone must understand is that your body and tastes change dramatically. I couldn't imagine actually enjoying raw brocolli when I was my slightly chubby, carb laden former self. It's hard at first. But you will never want to go back.

That's because you're eating healthily as dictated by modern norms. Which are wrong. I was the same as you, eating four or five pots of cous cous or wheat and beans from the shop. It doesn't keep you full- cutting way down on the carbs, and cutting out grain carbs altogether will keep you full. I spend about £35 a week on all my food. However, I view food as fuel. I thrive on the same things every day. Typical shopping list for two weeks is 60 eggs, a whole pork belly including ribs, a pack of ground coffee, a pack of green tea, about ten items of green veg from broccoli to cabbage to kale, 2kg grated cheese, a pack of butter and twenty tins of makerel. Comes to about £70 I guess.

Simples: Get a plastic takeaway pot. (Buy in bulk from Bookers etc, about 1.5 pence each) Add a thin slice of butter and microwave till melted. Crack four eggs, add seasoning (I use black pepper and powdered garlic) and beat. Microwave till done. (about two and a half minutes) Whilst this is going on, the black coffee can be made and the tin of fish drained. Take the pot out of the microwave. Don't worry if it looks rubbery (to avoid this simply cook slower and stir frequently) because when you add the fish, a forkful of mustard and mash it up it gains the perfect consistency. Top with grated cheese, eat, throw away pot and wash fork. I can knock this up in five minutes start to finish. No mess, one implement to cook and eat. If I'm busy working all day after eating this I won't bother with lunch and genuinely don't get hungry till I get back to the yard at 4/5. There's approximately 1000 calories in it, so it will keep you going much longer than Steve's shake! If you want to hang on until you and the lads are at the cafe, no problem. Simply cancel the bread, hash browns and baked beans and replace with extra mushrooms, eggs and bacon. What's not to like? :thumbup1 @OnFoot- Before doing this, I could do black coffee but not black tea. Now I love black tea, and also green tea. No sugar, of course. Your taste buds will change dramatically, trust me. You just need to get through the first couple of months.

I also believe that you should be able to do Keto/Paleo without supplements.

So glad you, like me, have seen the light. Not come across Mark Sissons before, my initial thoughts are that he is primarily trying to flog his books and foods, somewhat like Weight Watchers. However, his synopsis here is golden. Everyone should live like this: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-primal-blueprint-21-day-challenge-infographic/#axzz2pQT50848 There are many more, free resources out there with no sales pitch whatsoever. Keto - Bodybuilding.com Forums is an excellent place for all things keto. To get started calculating your macros for Keto: Keto Calculator - Learn Your Macros on the Ketogenic Diet If you're really trying to loose some weight then you need to track what you eat, and don't lie to yourself. Keto is excellent for cutting as it keeps you feeling full, whilst at the same time switching (without the hunger pangs you experience when running on carbs) to burning body fat, so long as you're running a calorific deficit. Use something like this to ensure that you are: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/

OnFoot- simply give it a go. You will probably relapse and reach for the grains once or twice in the first few weeks anyway. After I had pretty much switched, I gave away all my cous couse, rice etc to family and friends. The main thing is to give it a go, and see if you feel the health benefits (You will!). The best thing is how fats and protein fill you up and keep you feeling full compared to grains. As I see it, that hardest bit for most on here will be eating seperately from the rest of the family. As I don't eat at home, and subsist at my yard on a diet of eggs, fish, pork, greens and cheese, it's pretty easy for me If you are someone who views food as fuel, you will do fine on this. If you are more of a foodie, then you'll probably waste too much time trying to find more recipies. I can't remember the last time I had anything other than a mustard and mackerel omelette for breakfast.

Do it It's much cheaper stateside.

Multimeter. Or take it off the machine, sticky tape it to a light bulb and switch it on (do that in the right order, and not on a metal workbench...)

Almost, but not quite. I went from 13 and a half stone to twelve and a half by going keto. Couldn't give up the mature cheddar, but there's not much lactose in that at all anyway. Eating natural is now the only way. If I eat some ice cream in the evening (usually when drunk, that's when I get a craving ) I have a sugar hangover in the morning. If I eat aspartamine (even chewing a pack of gum) I get terrible gas and the shits. The first two months were hard. Now, having stable blood sugar at all times is amazing. I genuinely crave leafy greens. I can taste sugars in brocoli. It's been life changing. The main thing with both Paleo and Keto is giving up the grains. Mankind didn't evolve to eat grains- the agricultural revolution of 10,000 years ago is only seconds on the evolutionary scale Keep it up Steve.

Have you anything you could adapt? Link box, tractor bucket? It literally just needs two bits of angle iron welded on at 45° to make a blade hooking point. Then it can go on either machine.

What's a screen with tiles?

IPA is a type of beer, not a company. Many breweries brew an IPA.

I doubt it will be anywhere near strong enough especially where it hooks over the frame. Need a metal skeleton of some sort I would say.

I'm not sure whether you'd be better with a little bit of weight to add traction? I'd also not be too keen on dragging it about with the boom- it would get annoying and would put a lot of wear on the boom as it would be hard for the whole setup to adjust to every little bump in the terrain as a hitch system would. That's about right! I was certainly expecting too much of my setup (terrain was awful, I had studs in the tracks and eveything) and I've since bought that little tracked dumper which is amazing. However, I still have the hitch arrangement and have on multiple occasions restrained myself from welding it to something else, as I know it will come in handy one day. Another idea Stephen, if it's just for buckets- I welded a couple of bits of angle iron onto an old tractor linkbox- now this can be picked up with the blade. Works really well. I also did the same to the pallet forks from my tractor. As I keep my buckets in a forklift crate this works great on site. Same cautions apply regarding overloading the track motors though- I don't know what's a safe limit.
