I would think so, post a photo

Nice day for it

No, Rustoleum, folks use it to paint vans, you will get it from a local supplier https://www.zoro.co.uk/shop/lubricants-and-chemicals/paints-and-primers/combicolor-metal-paints/f/8134

IMO, a couple cans of rustoleum and a pack of foam rollers, and she will look fine, and be easy to touch up

I've got the kellfri tree jack, doesn't get used much, but still handy to have

There's a more basic version called the elephants trunk. I use it up a ladder. Never used or seen an easy lift harness so can't compare

Have you already bought the vehicle?

I hope they gave you a pie or a bit of cake for that job outside the bakers!!!

^No that's the plain roundup. The stuff safe for water is ProBio. I was getting some on an account for someone recently, local supplier was charging about £65 for 5l of Clinic Up! The formulations and names changed slightly, Clinic Ace-Clinic Up. Gallup 360-Gallup XL Think the new stuff is "safer" as there's less additives?

Do you still get gatso cameras in England? I got caught in my old van by a gatso on the A9, I was doing 60 on the dot (calibrated speedo) as I had done dozens of times before, without setting the camera off. Anyway on that night, I was towing a trailer and overtaking an artic. I think the gatsos have sensors to detect speeding HGVs, but then the photos will be manually checked by a person who would've spotted me. The A9 now has average speed cameras, which you can't trust as they will be anpr linked. Same as the mobile camera vans.

That scam crowd are doing the rounds again, does anyone else get them on the phone? ALWAYS a bloke with a Liverpool accent

I think you want to try and keep it out of sunlight too, so either a black IBC, or undercover.

Hi folks Looking for suggestions of tools/machines/techniques for reducing a large spruce stump and surface roots. This is for myself so any notion of profit etc doesn't matter! I need to take the height down a good bit so I can put a hardcore track over it. If it ends up sinking slightly at this spot in 20 years I'm not fussed. I don't own a stump grinder, I would consider buying one, but not sure the current finances would get something that was much good? (1-2k?) The obvious first step is dig, clean, and cut with chainsaw. I have a small mini digger (Kubota k008) - I vaguely remember someone on here posting a photo of a knife/bucket for shaving away at stumps? Unfortunately there is a soil pipe to the septic tank somewhere underneath so can't go crazy trying to rip the thing out Is a Terrasaur blade any good? https://www.orbitalfasteners.co.uk/en/products/300mm-x-20mm-terrasaur-carbide-blade-premier-diamond-products-dp16740 Open to any ideas!

Worth saying aswell, that if you are buying right now moisture content doesn't matter so much as you can dry it yourself - you need to build a good log shed!!

Could always get H&M Hydraulics out to have a look/test?

What about some sort of cover - like a shade sail?

Not so bad with the right kit, like a log splitter that can drive right up to the tree, and split your 3-4ft diameter rings without having to lift them , or cut into blocks with the saw

You need a mulching blade with bent ends, makes all the difference. You can even use it on piles of twigs etc. This sort of thing https://www.amazon.co.uk/295508-0-Universal-Mulching-Brushcutter-Husqvarna/dp/B00RZH1MGM

Have you got a mulching blade on the strimmer? Best thing for all that is get a good fire going and pull it on with a rake

Oh and if you plan on putting many hours on it defiantly look for a strimmer with lower vibes

They're 2 very different machines, the Honda you could almost start with your pinky, the Kawasaki needs a good tug!! The guard as standard on the Kawasaki doesn't let you run a very long line, I tinkered with it to improve it. I'm sure it also came with a rubbish auto feed head - I changed it for a manual one and run 3.3mm diamond edge line. Both strimmers aren't used quite as much since buying a hayter condor rough cut mower

My way of doing it is with 2 machines. 53cc 2 stroke Kawasaki for running a thick line, for heavy grass 35cc 4 stroke Honda for either a thinner line (for lighter grass/edges) or running metal blades(for brambles, saplings etc) I hate having to run a metal blade on a big machine, too much power

What is the type of vegetation, and are you planning on using line or a blade?

Have used Maxxis MA-W2 on the drive wheels of transits for years, nice chunky tyre, mud+snow rated. Just looked, think this is the right size for a convoy? https://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?dsco=110&cart_id=59661335.110.15297&Breite=185&Quer=&Felge=14&Speed=&Load=&kategorie=6&Marke=Maxxis&ranzahl=4&tyre_for=LLKW&x_tyre_for=&Herst=Maxxis&rsmFahrzeugart=LLKW&filter_preis_bis=&filter_preis_von=&search_tool=standard&Label=E-B-73-2&details=Ordern&typ=R-280094
