  1. More flexible legalisation perhaps, it is weird how we have to stop at certain weights then go in to a whole new minefield. I realise it's needed but manufacturers are governed. They try and fit certain targets.Whereas take the agricultural tractor that is built for its purpose from 1/2 a ton upto whatever is required to do the job. If a hgv with two axles can carry 18 ton. Plus with C+E licence pull a trailer.Why do vehicles have to have 4 wheel drive to tow 3.5 ton. The OP iveco will be and is more capable than it's allowed.
  2. Mmmmh! That is the problem. I had vine weevil this year and slugs. You do need time to supervise your growings. Mice are another instant impact destroyer. Had rats one year climbing my sweet corn crop. Decimated it was. Maybe let's go to the supermarket and be sheeple? Nah! As Homer Simpson says "trying is the first step towards failure" Gives me something to talk about. When this book comes I'll be away in cloud cuckoo land. Until the poly tunnel spontaneously combusts with my hotbed.
  3. Bunch it up stack it in an easycut type sawhorse. Someone on here is hiring out a branch logger. Depends if they are near you.
  4. Oh that signal mast must de value it by a lot. I'd offer 5k take it from their. I've gone after several properties over the years and you seem to get messed about. Price goes up weekly. Someone else gazumps you and on and on. Go in casual not too keen. If it develops it does. Shrug it off if it's silly. Keep looking. Only one place I went after I think in hindsight was a worthwhile thing.it was a relic with a bit of land. Someone bought it. Demolished it then couldn't get planning as there was no existing building. Doh!!!!
  5. Right! It always happens to me. I never get/make enough time for the garden in growing season. As soon as it's over I get ambitious for next season. I've just ordered hot beds by jack first. I want to get off to a flying start. Eco and pocket friendly early start. Tomatoes ripening before end of May. Watermelons in august, not struggling to ripen in September. Tail end of the hurricane ruined august this year for mine. I plan to research it well and get organised in January if I get quiet days. Peppers as well. I have filled barrels with fresh woodchip nearly to the top then a layer of sand and started seeds off in pots. This works from February onwards. You need a second barrel to be warming as first cools. Then remix 1st barrel for another heat. A sheet if glass on top to keep it in. A plus to the early start is things will get over the transplant vulnerable stage before spring madness kicks in with work.
  6. Makro do it.
  7. I think Alec who lurks in the milling threads has mentioned he uses a ex lab transformer or similar to reduce speed and says its a lot better.
  8. Hey easy Tommy, need to be Mr Cool. the dating game remember. The ladies like their man chilled and carefree:biggrin:
  9. That's the spirit!
  10. I run a 80hp case tractor. It used to get through them 100AH numb tractor batteries every two. Years until 15 Years ago. I put a 55AH optima red top on it. Never failed since. Excellent cold start power. expensive initial outlay. I think I paid £139 then. But 15 yrs is 7.5 battery's of the other type. It really is a no brainer lads. Unless someone can tell me otherwise. I'm not an agent either.
  11. A day at Alton towers then . They will be shut whilst spring now.
  12. YouTube it go on! There are enough sad people to watch it. Rules are start video with chain cutting poorly. Sharpen chain. Cut same piece of timber further down where its thicker to show nice chips and cut speed. Mount camera device in a permanent position throughout. No stopping of camera. One continuous shot. If huck won't do it. I'm sure another expert could.
  13. Thanks. All thes different busybody organisations with their own more important rules. No wonder we get confused.
  14. I dare not carry my dinner in that!
  15. Does that applt to LGV drivers as well? I thought the haulier had to keep them for two years, to give the traffic commissioner more to tut tut at!
  16. I have the stallion it's wobbly straight up vertical but I've never used a 6.3 silky. Happy with it. Saves ladder work and gets to weaker growth you couldn't climb to.
  17. Other work is cross hammers which looks like an X a square box with a diagonal is period of availability to use when waiting to work. Steering wheel is driving. Fill out paper chart. Your Name at top village or town start from underneath then leave next blank to fill in at end of day. Where you finish. Then start odometer reading is the middle of the last three lines. Then end if day reading above. Subtract the start km from finish and put in bottom done Digicard insert card so your photo is facing down and that the photo end is last to enter machine. Start country U.K. Select yes. 24hr day select no Manual entry select no. Print out select no.
  18. No chance. Real world figures include Depreciation. Annual safety check/test. Batteries.Gas 8p a hour that can only be a farts worth.
  19. Poor David brown is the real loser here. Can you make her pay the gas and you sell the wood a stove in the other room would've burnt and get the fund topped up. She may as well of bought a hot water bottle!!
  20. Don't forget the fave girls thread. That went supernova for a while. But we soon get bored. Trees are great they don't answer back or cause difficulties everything is possible with a tree and a saw. Females on the other hand are a bit more intensive to deal with. Many of us are already delirously happily married.
  21. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/79870-wanted-processed-fruitwood.html
  22. Yep more chance of getting fixed up with your dream saw.
  23. I learnt from the best. Only with my hands:001_tt2:
  24. Its going to be half a wheel or at least 6inches higher. The brash is going to enter nearer face height. Might be ok right next to a tall kerb.
  25. It is all paperwork now. A friend had to find their double glazing invoice to sell the house. The bloke could probably check it over and certify it. But would rather earn a bit more than take liability. Thats my view. My parents had their stove replaced last year. Installer moaned about what an illegal bomb previous one was. Then had other work done on heating system since. The plumber that installed it said the back boiler couldn't have a drain tap on it in case a numpty turned it. The other plumber said it was stupid to not have one!!!
