They were all over this forum a while back. Going to by the champion team to play with. Never see them here anymore. Ive never been involved. Sent from my LG-K100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Yes mine does. It happened a few years ago and you recommended that yellow tube adhesive. It works for a while, then pops off again. Perhaps due to ageing plastic would i be better replacing the insert Spud. Or do you suggest another trick. I clean tank out of fuel and leave it to dry. Sorry for hijack. I think im on same page.

I have never come across Luigi before. But if he is offering to take what is actually your waste and an inconvenience sat in your yard. Going to harbour vermin, cause you work or work you aren't really likely to get done anytime soon. I'd get rid. A good clear out and fresh start feels good, works well. Since last August I've been relief driving a brand new walking floor artic unit, which I start again for two weeks on the 20th of this month. It was purchased to cart woodchip for a contract. I will of driven it for over 6 weeks already. I've only ever carted general landfill waste. The truck has done less than 15 loads of woodchip. Yes the biomass game banged loudly on the drums, government provided the rest of the band. But honestly it's not that good, ill conceived. Many biomass power stations so far are standing failures. All I'm saying people, skips cost hundreds, if someone is offering to empty your yard even for a modest cost. Don't be like the free firewood people on the internet, you have to come and chop it down and clear it yourself. Yes without payment perhaps, but cost effective.? If you had the fuel consumption figures of these rigs you wouldn't sleep at night. Not a rant, just hoping to open eyes to what should be a good opportunity. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk

Geographically for us nz is big. But it's like a uk county population wise. You can name drop around nz and it's not long before so and so knows so and so. The other way they think London is everything over here. "Where's that then is it near London?" Etc Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk

A few years back a well known company director round here took saw into his own hands and killed himself on a job. Never surfaced at all in the news. I saw some of the work done previously by this outfit. It was shocking. Yet it still is an operational firm today! Sent from my LG-K100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Small world. Te awamutu is where we first stayed with my dads aunt and uncle when we first arrived in 2005. It can be really humid there in summer. I remember seeing my first decent gingkos in a park there. Sent from my LG-K100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Ive done pretty much all of nz. Id say away from auckland, queenstown and christchurch. There is so many opportune places that will offer just as much and you can visit the above locations. The popular places are expensive for thr basics and can be poor of stsndard due to high demand. You need to be cracking on with visa. It can be a right hassle. If you search new zealand in the search facility on the forum you will find just about everything you need to know and helpful contacts that have done it.

This is a common event with barn owls. Young and daft. I've found them too late and the man from the owl trust who comes to ring them has mentioned he hears of it rather a lot. Well done stubby. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk

Thread about mushy could quite easily turn in to a rant about " country lovers" having worked on a nursery myself and as a fencing contractor you ge to see the blind ignorant arrogance of the type. Always in the countryside pursuing their pleasures trashing it. Doggy poo bags suspended like Christmas tree decorations. Ground and plants trashed by dogs and horses and offroad vehicles. For sport or solo pleasure. Gun cartridges. Litter. Trees debarked. I can see removing humans would greatly aleviate the problems. Hares do damage trees foxes make a mess of poultry. But nothing leaves a destructive mess like selfish human being that only care about themselves. Mr mushypants would be my mate even if did damage a tree of mine.

I dont challenge that at all. Its factory farming after all. Speed, minimise inputs. Maximise output to a consumer spec were they dont actually care about the tree just tick boxes. My aim was to reassure the OP that pruning is doable to achieve goals. To many hesistate then get bigger problems later. Sent from my LG-K100 using Arbtalk mobile app

I would add that if you reduced the higher vigourous shoots except the leader you are assisting it to grow taller. Dutch nursery practice on maples is trimming all shoots off and reduce the leader. To make the rows consistant to manage the trees better Sent from my LG-K100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Yes it's 80hp with 1.2m flail. If it gets thick going brings tractor to its knees. 150hp+ with a 1 m hedgecutter should be gaffer of it without the hassle for you. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk

Just to mention the obvious perhaps, definitely leave the collar at the union on acers to grow over the wound. They are prone to fungal attack such as corral spot. If they are proper potential tree size acers. Certainly prune lower branches off to make it in to a tree. Follow it up as it gains high every season. Also take out acute angle and parallel forked branches as they split and rot as they get older. Probably anything from vertical to leader out to about 45 degrees take off. Prune to a single leader shoot as well. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk

Yes. However you need a heavy duty version not a cheap Italian import type. I've used two types a sovema with removable comb tines at the back. It's design is to keep the material in the pulverising zone only letting it through when it's reduced. The other being a dragone, both are Italian higher spec. Bear in mind the cost of replacement hammers. Don't try to use swinging flat blades they won't last. Never run a flail with a missing blade or hammer. They shake themselves to destruction. Due to imbalance. It's an effective way to reduce for quicker decomposition of material up to 10 mm diameter. Any bigger you should use a shedder or chipper. My experience is in rows of prunings in hardy nursery stock. It saves us hours of material handling. Then it gets cultivated in the following spring. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk

Yes amplifys with tiredness,concentration, stress situations such as public speaking. You want to hear the volume i get when trying to lipread someone when im tired. You could call it psychological. Some doctors disregard it even is a real situation. Its real for me and can be a right frustrating drag sometimes. Im the sort that carries on working injured.

Yes the more you hear the less tinnitus you will get as a general rule, hearing aids often help, your brain isn't scanning for noise when it's receiving the real thing. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk

Not for me i went deaf aged four and we only had toys without batteries then. I more or less have tinnitus constantly. My hearing fluctuates between profoundly deaf and absolutely deaf. The less you hear the louder the tinnitus. Its caused only in people that have had hearing. Then the absence of expected noise makes the brain look harder and invents its own. I get allsorts of noises. Some get depressed and commit suicide. Others relentlessly occupy themselves to drown it out. Will-I-am being a notable busy person.
