  1. Shame it wasn’t also the prick who left a lad from midhurst with a bleed on the brain after lying in wait for him outside the pub in midhurst two months ago. Think he’s near you also.
  2. To be fair then, especially as mainly food prep, a rubberised paint isn’t a bad shout, easier for the walls and easy to touch up if needed.
  3. If it was well floated by someone who knew what they are doing, then you should be fine with a high build two pack epoxy. Usually when someone says shed floor, I imagine some rough as a badgers arse tamped finish. You'll want all the gear for doing it right- spiked roller, spiked shoes, a good mixer- and you really can't hang about! Enlist help. Rubberised paints were OK in their day, but whilst they'd be first port of call for a dairy parlour there are much better options for an industrial floor.
  4. For a pukka job, you’re going to want to grind the floor down (not easy on green concrete, and I’m assuming you didn’t power float it) and get a decent two part resin paint down. No point putting a decent coat of paint down on a tamped finish! Not a quick or easy job- which is why I’ve never got around to it! 🤣
  5. Prepare to be undercut by every man and his dog 🤦‍♂️ Customers don’t give a damn about Woodsure. I know a bloke locally processing a fair few tons a year- own tractor, trailer and processor and does around ten loads a day during the season. He said to me, ‘**************** em, I’m not registering’. I do maybe twenty loads a year to locals in the village- I won’t be either.
  6. Nothing about oversize timber is easy unfortunately, that's why processor grade commands a premium.
  7. I'd say the cone splitter on the digger then through your own machine will be the cheapest and least work overall.
  8. That’s still a complete bodge of a solution. Have they sold even one? If you want to load and unload pallets, you need to hire a mini loader or rough terrain forklift. Look at the faff needed to turn it all around! You’ll leave half your tracks behind trying to unload a lorry on a driveway.
  9. If they implement this, then crypto will be useless as they will just stop you from changing it into Fiat. yeah you could buy coke off the dark web with it…but not food to eat.
  10. Garden grabbing is old news mate. What about the thousands of shit new builds the other side of chi? Not to mention building on the village football field. Prices there will start at 700k, it’s a bloody joke.
  11. You could leave tailgate down and have a bag half on it, but it’s a pain and would need a strap.
  12. What do you think the Scandinavians burn? Beggars can’t be choosers….
  13. Running piles from the cut and collect to dump site. Faster than tractor, stacks up high, tractor driver can concentrate on task (no turning round) and no lone working. Two and a half tractor days becomes one day two men two machines. Win win win. @Ty Korrigan- you jinxed me. Having to start tractor by jumping starter motor terminals. What was your one’s problem in the end? edit- great for pushing out the odd rotten stump too!
  14. I spent 30k on a MultiOne and I still didn't get a cupholder!
  15. Live pto is when you can dip the clutch to change gear without interrupting the pto. Not the case on the solis. why the heck did you change from a jd to this?? 3 speed box with f all overlap! Never fast or slow enough for the task in hand.
  16. Limbed up a couple of ash at the yard. Stacked up with the digger then ran this lot to the fire in three bites!
  17. Well that’s a bit shit isn’t it!
  18. And where is every youngster from down south going to find jobs up North? There's a big problem with housing in this country that the generation before didn't have to worry about. That's the issue here.
  19. Any idea how many times the local wage a terraced house in the back streets of town goes for round here mate? 🙄
  20. Can’t be much to the wiring I’d have thought? Is yours the same shitty gearbox with no live pto or synchros? Spoils an otherwise ok machine.
  21. You got the same tractor as me mate, right down to the tyres and loader!
  22. Looks like it belongs on the scrap heap or in a museum to be frank.
  23. I’m getting turf tyres for mine. I’ll have two sets of rims though. loader specific turf tyres will be rated to the right weight, don’t worry about that.
  24. There’s a set on eBay at the moment! No idea if the price is good or not. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Avant-528-loader-tyres-/144096562291?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
