A bank that hasn't been closed down would be a nice thing. Not many left, and their hours are getting shorter ps have never tried a £100 note in a self service till.....

The husky 435 is a decent enough wee saw, but it does feel very plasticy. The 15" bar they come with is a bit too much, better with a 13".

Good to hear! Did you buy any extra buckets, I see they do a 2ft bucket, wonder if that would be a bit much for the machine? Have you got any photos/vids of her in use? I'm tempted to get a wee digger to use at home. Mainly just odd jobs here and there, even just levelling areas and loading barrows with aggregate. I find after spending a day hand shovelling a few ton of stone my neck and shoulders feel it! Is the Jansen and Kellfri the same? Look very similar in the pics?

Almost a year on, did you buy the towable digger in the end?

Never mind that, did you see the remote control machine?! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Micro-Forklift-Dumper-Hi-Tip-Remote-Control-Tracked/232582285750?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D49130%26meid%3Df365b0e41837468588930d4a60a5fa46%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D162788230534&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 Fit a camera to it and you wouldn't even need to leave the van

I would say get a muck truck and see if that's much help to you. Fairly cheap and cheerful, and don't really mark grass. Can also be used for moving about trailers etc

There's been a few good threads on here before, full of pictures to nick ideas from, here's one If it's an exposed site don't forget you will need plenty bracing for the wind, stick some diagonals in the corners. I think it could only be classed as temporary if it was able to be dragged or lifted and moved. I'm sure there's been a lot of sheds built without the right permissions. Personally, if it's out the way of others, I don't see the harm.

Will be Chinese, the other lumag stuff I've looked at is the same as the rest from china, but with a different paintjob. Another brand is Kellfri, "Swedish" but made in china. (doesn't mean it's bad, but you usually get what you pay for)

Short days, long nights

There's no such thing as free firewood, it all costs something, be that money, or time, equipment and fuel

Have you tried different gloves, or a liner? If it's cold and wet I wear disposable vinyl gloves under normal work gloves, makes a big difference. I don't really get the purpose of hand warmers, unless you spend most of the day with your hands in your pockets? ps buy a saw with heated handles
-
The Kaaz mowers (kubota is one) are good strong machines. Bit of a faff to swap in and out of mulching though
-
Some rare bits of kits for sale http://implements.frasersauctionroom.co.uk/sales/173 The old county crawler has been parked in that spot out the front of the building for as long as I can remember, atleast 10-15 years.

At that kinda height, I wonder if they were potato bags?
-
Cheers, yes it's just the ticket! The vid is from last winter, the machine has had a few small tweaks since then She was out today in tandem with the circular saw
-
As far as I know it is the exact same one as your link. I'm trying to clear out the shed, so pay for the postage, and a few beers token for me, and it'd be yours!
-
Don't buy the flowfit valve it's cheap rubbish I will sell you a broken flowfit one if you like though It works fine, just the cover on the end is broken, and it's had about a dozen different homemade handles as they don't last long It would be very cheap though!!
-
Surely so long as it's been in a kiln at somepoint it will always be "kiln dried" - even if it's floating about in a pond
-
I don't mind human waste too much, I have rodded plenty of drains and poked round in many septic tanks. Dog poo is much worse. And hitting wildlife with a strimmer is never nice I always wear a helmet with full face plastic visor when strimming.

My first "proper" job was a season at the council. There was an old boy there who would crack open the Tennents Super at 10am and be on it for the rest of the day!

You need to go on the page and click something like "why am I seeing this" then disable viglink

Don't know if it's any good - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ochsenkopf-OX-172-0500-Hand-Pickaroon/dp/B004IZ4Q4O

Yes that's the one. Tell them to buy their own pickaroon! Maybe they will look after it then
-
I've got a german one, says "Bison" on the side, came from ebay or amazon - it seems fine?!
-
Sounds good Was that Hy-pro?
