Yes it's fine with a mulching blade, needs to be the 3mm thick blade. Personally I prefer 4 stroke or battery for running a blade than 2 stroke

I often use the Husky battery brush cutter with a mulching blade on stuff a lot heavier than bramble, you can even use it as a clearing saw and fell small trees

You can get a glass Barr's bottle in the holder by your knee, which is the main thing.

Local feed supplier always has tins of Hoggs dubbin on the counter, so that's what I use. If the boots aren't clean/dry, I would sometimes spray wd40 on them on the way out the door in the winter, I think it helped a bit with waterproofing.

Op, what cargo bike you got, any pics?

So how much of a discount if I turn up with a £100 note with a picture of the Kessock Bridge?

Found on youtube.......

The best smoke screen I've seen is chain oil in the wrong hole (not today, as we didn't have a storm)

Scots pine allergy apparently https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/12/07/norwich-scots-pine-tree-allergic-south-norfolk-council/ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1mrrzdz7kko

As I understand: If it's for employees, 20% VAT If the person buying it is going to wear it, 0% VAT https://www.gov.uk/guidance/protective-equipment-and-vat-notice-70123 2.1 Protective boots and helmets that qualify for zero-rating they must not be supplied to persons for use by their employees 2.6 Zero-rated industrial helmet accessories If you fit accessories such as visors or ear protectors as an integral part of a qualifying industrial helmet, you can zero-rate the supply of the complete helmet. But accessories supplied on their own are standard-rated.

If they were sold with a hard hat as being a set then the entire thing should be VAT free. Might be hard getting the supplier to understand this That's as an individual. As a business you're supposed to pay the vat then claim it back - same for boots etc.

You can tell you're in the south of England, most Transits of that era up here would've rusted away before covid!

I like the radio wedged in place with rizla packet, I had that on an old van once

Yep the TCF engineering ones have the option of a 50mm ball hitch drawbar, I've towed it with the muck truck before. You can also mount the handle in numerous positions, to give you a cart that is short and nimble or able to carry long lengths. I moved a stack of 16ft sawn timber (larch) with it

I bought it a few years ago, it's probably excluding for both. Yes the wheels have bearings The wide wheels are much better on grass
