  1. Give the lad a set of FM ear defenders (or bluetooth) and £20 cash for every full IBC. No new log splitter required.
  2. Urgent because weather forecast was it will be chilly tonight and the log shed is empty?! I use (semi chisel) rotatech chains, they're fine, but not as cheap as they used to be
  3. The local motor factors (who I'd be buying the oil from anyway), give them the reg and they look it up on their super dooper computer, and get you the right oil and filters. Think it's @aspenarb on here who says he puts 10w40 in everything, they'll all be fine
  4. Hi folks, does anyone with a WP36 know the RAL paint codes - for the red and grey that is standard. I do have a proper RAL colour chart book here somewhere, but christ knows where it actually is!
  5. I don't know are you planning to do the work yourselves or not? Another thing would be, do have a use there for any big lumps of oak timber you could mill out of this? Oak mantlepieces/posts/stuff for your house? Even if just for the novelty of finding a permanent use for bits of this tree.

    What is the chains you're using, got a link?
  7. What island was that? (which is going to lead on to, has it got many rowan?)
  8. Mashed them up, rinsed them through a sieve loads of time to try and remove as much of the pulp as possible, then mixed half and half with sharp sand, into pots covered with mesh to hopefully keep the wildlife off. They will be left outside all winter. Also filled a ziplock bag with the seed sand mixture, and put that in the bottom of the fridge to leave until the new year.
  9. Well I harvested a good amount of berries, from the local area, from lots of different trees, to hopefully mix up the genetics a bit and leave the majority on the tree for the birds. Patented fruit and berry picking device, put it round your neck - handsfree!
  10. Someone will tell me I'm wrong, but I always thought you could only burn material on the site it originated from? I once had someone send the police out to a bonfire I was having on a site, it was a great fire, red hot so very little smoke, and safe as houses too.
  11. The only safe option is to swallow the keys, 12hrs+ to shit them out, should be sober by then
  12. Honda Izy are good domestic mowers (steel deck so won't last forever) My old man bought a domestic Honda brand new about the year 2000, I had to fit a new deck in 2015, it doesn't really get any tlc. Mower is still running great to this day Just to keep taking this thread off topic, this video is pretty interesting:
  13. Out of interest, what was your method, to achieve a 100% failure rate?
  14. Quite a common thing on mobile workshop type vans - water/hydro board, plant fitters etc. So if someone buys one of these vans 2nd hand they might be selling the vice and sliding mount cheap ie Irwin Record No.3 Slide Out Vice for Van Racking / Shelving WWW.EBAY.CO.UK <p>Irwin no3 sliding vice for van with fixing blocks. Used but full working condition</p><br /> Same as all the other kit that might be coming out - racking, workbench, 12v sink, night heater, hoist, 12v microwave, water boiler, inverter, pto generator, etc
  15. I've never tried this myself, has anyone on here done this, and have any advice? Best to mash them up and separate the seeds, or leave them whole? Leave them in a pot of sand over winter?
  16. Someone cleverer has already replied, but they often have BT and a code engraved on the poles, in the photo you can just see the B. To the right of the 2 E signs
  17. Spotted these on gumtree, don't know the person, they might be sold by now anyway. £10 each Ibc cage and tank | in Beverley, East Yorkshire | Gumtree WWW.GUMTREE.COM £10 each these have resin residue in. Collection cherry burton near Beverley plenty available
  18. 50cc 4 stroke hedge trimmer or pole saw, that sounds pretty grim Also can't stand a loop handle strimmer. Not ergonomic, high vibrations etc GX50 are great engines but that seems like the worst place to use one
  19. Which one is your current jacket, and is it any good?
  20.

  21. Second hand Greenmech cs100 for your 3k, then a second hand muck truck for circa £1500 to tow it with. Both the same width, will go a lot of places, and doesn't leave a mark turning on grass unlike tracks. Only takes a second to untich the chipper and use the muck truck for carting chips/logs about! 2 machines that are built for professional use. Lets see if Pete B presses the "like" button for this post
  22. I filled a barrel with seaweed to make liquid fertiliser this year, I did rinse it first to hopefully remove some salt, don't know how necessary that was.
  23. Not used them myself, but round here you can hire one easily Highland Roadbrush Ltd | Inverness WWW.FACEBOOK.COM Highland Roadbrush Ltd, Inverness. 935 likes. Sweeping across the Highlands , short term , long term and 24/7 call out
  24. Comfrey, nettle and seaweed seems to good to go on compost, that would be good for a liquid fertiliser!
  25. Found camel toe in the polytunnel
