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?

Think they like the damp, there's one here about the size of a large van!!

I started out with a small compressor which was ok but the best thing I did was buy the biggest compressor you can run off a 13amp plug, think the tank is 100 or 150l, and belt driven

Did it really reduce the size though? Seems easier to lob it straight on a compost pile! Also bit of a risk with stones etc The last hedge I cut I blew the trimmings straight back under

The main advantage of a wee chipper is leaving the chip in situ Bare in mind hedge cuttings, prunings etc aren't something you can really feed through a chipper

Looks like wild haggis, which is completely different to the raw haggis you get in the supermarkets, especially when raw.

Yes, it's just the ticket. She got a day out to the Isle of Skye today

Thanks Openspaceman and Stock, got round to fitting the rapid extend valve today, as the flowfit one needed replaced. Seems to be pretty sturdy Tried to get a video of it showing high speed and normal speed

That's some amount of logs! Looks like Estonia

Not being funny but is that a joke?

A lot of the old fenceposts were larch, and are still standing 30/40 years on, and that's 3" square posts. Maybe try a proper sawmill rather than a fencing yard, or maybe look up Octoposts https://www.daviesimplementsltd.co.uk/product/creosote-posts/
-
Can you not get hold of some nice larch or creosote posts locally? Would last as long as plastic!

Not for the faint hearted

Can't offer much advice, but I (with help from a friend) had to strip and rebuild my oc95. Got the cylinder relined and new piston etc. If you google, you can find the Kubota workshop manual for free download.

Have a look at Muck Truck, or the modified version, the "micro arb truck" You can even get turf tyres for them
