I was wondering! Sounded a little spammy. They can't be selling many at that money.

Really? It looks identical. Is this a case of a european manufacturer copying the Chinese for once? 🤣 Where are they manufactured?

Trouble is then you're up against us contractors with actual tractors 😀 What does an Avant flail collector cost to rent? I've always thought it an absoloute abortion of an attachment, as well as horrendously overpriced. No visibility, shit laods of hydraulic losses and knocks the hell out of the loader when you lift it up to run it to the collection point. I guarantee I could cut any meadow you cut with it in less than half the time with my cheap compact tractor and secondhand flail collector. If you're getting plenty of that kind of work you could buy a secondhand tractor and flail collector for around £5- £4k for a 26hp Iseki or Mitsubishi and £1k for the collector. You'll quickly see just how much more efficient the tractor is for all other mowing also. Flail mowing possibly an exception as front mount is nice, but thats why you buy a reverse drive tractor! McCormick G23 reverse drive hydrostatic alpine tractors come up occasionally for around £4k.

He already pays for Eggs to plunge his arms into shit, it's gotta be extra for the kinky shit?

Not to piss on your chips (ok, I'm gonna piss on your chips) but- £5800 plus vat for that???? It's a Chinese trolley chipper with a Briggs and Shattem! I could stick a new twin cylinder Loncin engine on my Chinese chipper and still have change from £2k all in. Glad you're happy though, that's all that matters.

Yup, but kit will hold some value and cheaper to keep kit on the team than staff!

To collect regularly on such an acreage I’d look at a ride on mower with a powered vacuum collector. Mine is on a tractor but they are about second hand as just a mower and collector.

It’ll be gone and on to the muck heap once it’s wilted a bit. But yes, if you want to do no mow may and have a nice lawn, there are consequences.

Find a contractor with a decent (emphasis on decent) flail collector. I’m in Sussex and this was yesterday afternoon’s half acre

Well I don’t know what gives, but I’ve been inundated with requests for digger work these last two days.

That haulage price can’t be right. Also, a contract haul like that should be priced by the job not the meter.

Exactly. It works with any topper as it spins on a vertical axis. A flail mower wouldn’t feed correctly unless it was a reverse mount one.

Yeah just a 6’ single rotor jobby

Reverse drive and hydro transmission making light work of bracken control, max cut width each time and no wheelings left to spring back up. Some nasty side slopes coming up too. Perfect tractor for the job.

Ash and oak. Possibly beech in last pic. Doesn't look too bad, but hard to tell from photo. If in doubt, purchase your own moisture meter to test them upon delivery.

It’s gonna be savage this time around. I’ve been saying this for six months now. sell anything you don’t use to make money with and buy gold.

Ukraine war: US to support providing F1-6 fighter jets to Ukraine WWW.BBC.CO.UK President Biden backs a plan to provide advanced fighter jets to Ukraine and train Ukrainian pilots. Is this yet another ‘red line’ crossed that Putin will quietly ignore, or the start of WW3?

Looks a good setup there, can’t beat a concrete yard and a counterbalance forklift.

Would you not say that the Norwegian mindset is very different from the a British one? Basically, none of what I believe in seems like it would work here in the UK as we have such a sick society.

A photo id costs nothing. I’m conflicted about this. The libertarian in me hates with every fibre of my being the notion of an ID card and was ready to take to the streets to protest their introduction. But I also hate the idea of someone who is not eligible to vote doing so, and yes, voting to improve their position at my expense.

As stated, it’s a really easy to sell add-on service that costs you very little in extra mobilisation time. No brainer. The only other thing worth mentioning is interest rates being so low at the time. You could own a grinder on finance and the first add-on job per month paid the finance per month. Anything else is gravy. im surprised landscaper enquiries are on the up. Most just make a giant mess digging it out with the hired in mini digger.

Look very smart indeed, are these new? What does the narrowest one cost?

Interesting question. I see where you are going with this, and I would counter you by pointing out the existing rights that you currently gain when you turn 21. They all involve a very large amount of responsibility- adopting a child, supervising a learner driver and gaining your commercial pilots license. You could argue that voting is not as important as the above, and given our current shitshow of a system I’d be inclined to agree with you. What I would like, however, is a society where people take their civic responsibilities seriously, and as such I’d support PR with a voting age of 21 so that people would have some actual life experience rather than being swayed by parties (admittedly usually left wing, there’s my bias) promising freebies. I’d keep the age of enlistment at 16 with parents consent and 18 otherwise. The army is a great force for good in many otherwise troubled young lives. In recognition of their service to this country, I’d also have an exemption from the voting age for service members. You could of course then argue that public sector workers should be given earlier votes also, but I would limit to to those who sign up to risk their lives for this country.

I didn’t think prisoners could vote? fully agree re under 21. The youth are constantly targeted by the left, and it’s always the left pushing votes for 16 year olds simply to bolster their votes. Mind you, either party are happy to re-draw constituency boundaries if their think they will gain. The two party system is broken IMHO. Both parties are utter shite, neither stand for what they say they do. Two sides of the same coin. We are taxed through the roof and get ever less to show for it. 40 percent tax and can’t even see a doctor, the roads round here are 3rd world. The only reason for voting Tory vs labour is that labour are guaranteed to waste the extra tax they take- at least under the Tories there’s a chance you’ll be taxed slightly less and can purchase the services you need yourself. The two party system is a roadblock to any real change. I want a party that is conservative in values, not name. I want a party that understands that a country should be about quality of life for its citizens, not unsustainable Ponzi-type “growth”. The only one I can find that I agree with almost all of their policies are the Social Democrats. Yet without PR parties like that may as well not exist.

I assumed that price was for the forks and clamp combined. Says various brackets available, that suggests one unit. Looks great value. I’ve seen just clamps for around £700 so the price would be right there for both. The kelfri log grab is great for handling just logs or large amounts of brash- but the pallet tines with the clamp look simply ideal for a sawmill yard.
