I'm not a solicitor, but without a doubt the hatched area in the pic is a garden.

Recommendations for a Solar kit for a workshop
scbk replied to The avantgardener's topic in General chat
Electric forklifts can be another source of 2nd hand batteries. They might not have much life left in them, but would do as a start, especially if you can get them for scrap money -
The old saying is "you break it, you buy it", think the going rate for a 357xpg is £200-£300 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Husqvarna-357XPG-57cc-15-inch-chainsaw-stihl-oil-heated-handle-heats-sometimes/202117367550?hash=item2f0f2246fe:g:e~sAAOSwXrdaDzv And he gets to keep the squashed saw

Thanks, didn't know that. It's not like there isn't hundreds of other mature trees (or fenceposts) to rub against Have strung up a length of barrier netting to try and keep them away from the willows for now
-
(for scale, the willows are approx. knee high)
-
Gutted, just in the last week or so, something has been in stripping bark off a few of the willow slips that were planted over winter. Is this work of the deer, or something else? There's the odd roe deer in the area, didn't think they were frequent. Can live with the odd leaf being nibbled but not this vandalism!

Just tell them you stole the digger and were too drunk to put a card in the tacho
-
Make a mini incinerator out of an old drum, once you get it going good you can feed it fairly fast, you just have to cut the stuff to 4ft or whatever lengths

2 miles is nothing, tell him to get a bike.

Felling of 15 trees with awkward access in Devon
scbk replied to sidekickdmr's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
If it was an easy fell, round here you'd have a queue of people after your trees -
Even if you're doing over double the limit, you're still not getting locked up https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/highlands/548824/undefined-headline-622/ (he also didn't have a UK licence or insurance)

I don't think you'd want to buy plain old emulsion online, it's always going to cost more.

Don't know what size that bar is, but there must be atleast 300w there I would have thought? I really like the tractor though, I would love to have that round here, it would annoy all the fergie enthusiasts

Engineering solution for wall, being pushed over by tree.
scbk replied to benedmonds's topic in General chat
Cheat, remove a couple metres of wall, and put something like this up instead https://www.rubberduckbathrooms.co.uk/vox-motivo-mattone-rosso-brick-wall-effect-upvc-panels-250-x-2650mm-4-pack?source=googlebase&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqrz5tMue4gIV65ztCh27owWbEAQYASABEgI10vD_BwE No one will ever know -
There's a Kubota mower too, made by Kaaz. IIRC it is very similar, but slightly different specs (different weight when I looked). So if you had a local Kubota dealer you might be able to see one in the flesh.

Christ what ever you do, don't visit their website (in sig)

To be legit, I think it should be a men at works sign (of the appropriate size for the speed limit), and take your pick from: Grass cutting; Tree cutting; Hedge cutting; Ditching; Weed spraying; Sign erection; Sign maintenance; Lighting maintenance; Overhead works; On slip road; Surveying; Mobile road works; Road sweeping; Gully emptying; Gritting; Salting; Snow ploughing; Blasting; On hard shoulder; At level crossing https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/203669/traffic-signs-manual-chapter-08-part-01.pdf

I'm sure grabs/grapples, and hydraulic thumbs are great, and much better. No brainer if you're handling lots of timber. But a mechanical thumb is such a simple versatile bit of kit. I've got the Digbits one, which is wider than some, I'd already seen them at work on my friends machines https://www.digbits.co.uk/grip-talon.html Advantage with it aswell is you can fold it back out the way and continue digging with the bucket.

How cheap do you want? If you bought a used Honda off ebay for the right price, and assuming it's not stolen or knackered, you could use it for a couple years and sell it on for similar to what you paid for it.
-
I don't need one, but interested to know more.....?
-
Cautrac do a basic one (and atleast it will come with their backup), can't rememeber the price but about 1500-2000 + vat. https://www.cautrac.com/product/350/ Quite a few used machines of various makes on ebay (Honda are obviously a safe bet) But if you want to go a across lawns, a wheeled machine is safer than tracks

I hope you made it further north than Gretna services

This is a funky homemeade machine, uses gravity to hold the logs in place as they are cut Just need to plan your route avoiding low bridges

(Jockey wheel is deliberately removed so it works as an adjustable stand, and doesn't roll about. You wind the handle to level the chipper/ adjust infeed height to suit ground conditions)

Yes the chute could be improved 50mm tow bar:
