The "40v" will be a 36v system A 36v battery fully charged is normally 42v, and around 32v discharged
-
The husqy you've linked is more the homeowner grade, they do professional tools and batteries too. I much prefer battery to petrol.
-
Get a decent battery hedge cutter (normal and long reach) and backpack or belt battery. Low vibes, low noise, zero fumes in your face, cheaper to run, refuel at home, lightweight with the separate battery.

I'm not sure if they're effective, they're basically just padded gloves. Hand arm vibration - Gloves and warm clothing WWW.HSE.GOV.UK

Found this on google streetview, near Doncaster and the A1M https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.6010432,-1.2724783,3a,75y,22.2h,89.49t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sBCwwUzonZT-eyqbZrJadow!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DBCwwUzonZT-eyqbZrJadow%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D22.203860748543747%26pitch%3D0.5136389920751441%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?hl=en-GB&coh=205410&entry=ttu

The next step is to add urine to the compost (if you're not already using it in the garden) Further steps include building a compost toilet, to recycle jobbies and sawdust.

From this I deduce you need to get some hens! Fresher eggs than you'll get in the shops, happier hens than commercial free range, and they get rid of your food waste!

I bought a 365 x-torq just before they stopped selling them in this country so I'm not needing to buy one anyway! But if I was I would go for the grey import 372. I've never seen one of the chinese copies in real life. I wonder which would be better suited and longer lived for someone living up in the hills cutting their own firewood, an autotune or chinese copy? If they were able to buy a brand new genuine 365/372 it would last decades, without ever going near a dealership.
-
The flip side of that is Husqvarna designed a great saw in the 372xp, but have decided to no longer sell in in UK/Europe/US (although you can get it via a grey import) I don't want an autotune chainsaw - but I don't really want a cheap imitation either!

Oil syphoning pump to drain hydraulic oil...
scbk replied to Matthew Storrs's topic in Maintenance help
Not used it much yet but got a 12v oil pump for about a tenner in lidl a while back. Maybe more suited to small tanks as I think it was quite slow I once used an old 240v pond pump for diesel. No idea where that went, maybe it's buried in a shed somewhere, or maybe somebody borrowed it -
Strimmer line is ok on new bracken growth but at this point in the year you'd want a metal blade. Me being sceptical if someone tells you a job will "only take you" x amount of time then double it lol

Don't know what the link is. I think the cars are fine, the tools are shite. JCB put their name to a range of cheap tools etc too

That was their postbox for the "big hoose"

Get enough of them and you have a gang!

Nice trip away up the north west to cut a load of hardwood for a couple of days

In the greenhouse, the tomato/strawberry barrels - the tomato plants have smothered the strawberries more than I imagined, but they're not great tasting strawberries anyway. Loads of green tomatoes. Millions of flowers, I think a lot haven't been pollinated. With the poor weather there seems to be a real shortage of flying insects
-
Ripe blackcurrants aswell! I don't know what the variety is, these bushes came out of my parents garden when I had to redo their soakaway in 2020. At the time I dug open, but had to wait for the quarry to reopen after the first covid lockdown. The bushes must be 30yrs+ old, they were there when I was a kid

What a summer it's been. Not had any decent weather since about May, the plants have just sat there not doing anything, but finally it's turned, the clouds have receded. First courgette harvested of the year

You're too cheap....

If it's lights you can fix them to the tipping body too, just be sensible about the wiring

Don't bother locking the trailer, just leave a few of them lying around the yard in the dark

Recommend me a BCS two-wheel tractor chipper/shredder
scbk replied to Delcho Valkov's topic in Large equipment
Can you not tow the existing chipper with the BCS?
