I made my own muck truck towbar for the front of the skip as at the time the dealer didn't seem able to supply one. It could do with further refinement, but it works for as long as the wheels have traction. I do remember one dark winters night using it to tow a broken down transit out the way! One thing you have to watch with light tow machines is on a downhill, if you try turning the trailer wants to jack knife you

Big old pile of wood someone has (look how far away the splitter is), you'd have to watch, without a suitable shed to keep it in it would rot before you burnt your way through it. And back to working in the dark

I can't remember the species, maybe sycamore, this was a few months ago right in the middle of town, up to about 1m wide, and had some lovely old ceramic insulators buried deep in it

Do you think it's just the engine vibrations that does it? I noticed the exhaust seemed to be vibrating more than usual, bent down, and both exhaust mounting bolts had disappeared, then on feeling round the back there was only 1 stud left holding the whole thing on . I'm assuming the mounting bolts have worked there way out first, and that led to the stud snapping? Have you had any bother with the fuel tanks cracking? I've had mine brazed twice now by a friend, due to tiny cracks. Got a universal tank to fit to it at somepoint, it's still in the shed

Cheers, that was on a kubota oc95, which I think you have a few of. The screw extractors have quite a course thread, the ones I've had less success with in the past have a finer thread. Drilled a small pilot hole, then a slightly bigger hole, both with left hand drill bits just incase it caught. Put the screw extractor in, few taps in with a hammer, attach tap wrench handle (so you can apply even pressure), then cross fingers and clench buttocks!!

First non-cherry tomatoes just starting to ripen, this is Moneymaker And also a new waterbutt for the greenhouse, 1200l slimline so just fits down the side of the shed nicely, fed from a couple of outbuildings gutters. Tap is a normal 1/4 turn 22mm full bore isolation valve, straight through, and the hose is 3/4" so you get a good flow using gravity alone. Hose reaches into the greenhouse.

Is it the blade that came with the machine from new? You do sometimes get different thicknesses (how thick is it?) Stubby beat me to it!

I dunno, I would've thought exhaust fumes from engines (espicially 2strokes, and chain oil spray), would be a lot more detrimental to your health than tap water. I suppose best play it safe and only drink beer

This is an internet forum, you could have a thread on "what is your favourite colour" and still get a good argument out of it

Is it all about money? There's some landed gentry (who are surely upper class) earning less money than a kfc wage Either way, "you is what you is" we all came into the world screaming and naked, and some of us will leave in the same way too

IMO don't put all your eggs in one basket. Wood burner, gas camping stove, ghillie kettle, inverter on a vehicle, small 12v solar setup for lights/usb charging, worklights/torches, candles, batteries, tinned foods, battery radio, and a small gennie to run freezer etc once a day And a baseball bat to fend off zombies

Unless you drive long distances, it's a no go imo. Buy more batteries and chargers is the answer. They either need to go home where someone can tend to them swapping them off fast chargers, or at a yard left in a unit overnight with 1 slow charger per battery. Possibly even a dedicated fire safe container or whatever in case the worse happens
