Does he use his whiskers to clean the crud off 1st?

Picture ruined by a lack of a husky. Come on keep the theme up:001_rolleyes:

Let us know how it goes Matt, I did water electric and sewage in one with a 6inch auger earlier in the year. It cost me a few quid for collars and water joint. Then £60 for electrician to do armoured cable repair.

:thumbup1:Tried it today, this idea should go all the way. Less effort and less vibes. I only used standard nylon type rope.

China no doubt. But seriously you need to be safe. Price is relative.

Aye and is it me(wife actually noticed) or has no one noticed the blue mercedes isnt a merc! But Im not interested in cars very much at all. Its strange how people all over the world and appear with their thoughts on these newspaper website. No wonder humankind all don't get on. Everybody thinks they know the answer to everything.

Im a follower of this brilliant Idea, read it then went away fantasing. Didn't notice the waterski type rope comments and pictures, therefore went away thinking that steel cable was going to rough up the round bar on the mill. Anyhow I have forgotten the size, but you can get that blue mains water pipe MDPE type in the right size that would slide over the top bar. Looking forwards to having a go, the winch should be here soon.

I have double joints in my ankles which make a difference, I have never sprained an ankle in my life , I go over and reflex back and its like a funny bone reaction. Might post a picture when I next have camera out.

Today on the local army base the traffic lights went to red on me , and it was a sea king rescue helicopter coming in to land. Great noise. Looked surreal coming in like a plane rather than up and down.

reflecting on your material Id be inclined to use a shredder as pushing thorny brash in will make you curse the machine. Conifer, elder ok but ivy in abundance bungs up and wraps round rollers and flywheel shaft, could cause major problems if not noticed in time such as friction bearing issues and even metal fatigue.

I have an older bearcat pto chipper and it does chomp through stuff, its a 8 or 9inch feed. Whilst its not like the monster beasts available now, it makes short work of brash as long as its not forked material like apple trees not reduced enough.

Any accident/experience I have been involved in of this kind has a common denominator, your mind goes into super fast forward, you make many options available rapidly choose one, get on with it. Then later you review/rewind the scenario and critisice it, and re analyise it over and over again. I suppose its a way you compensate for the abnormally fast decision by not being convinced. However you did well. I clearly remember loosing control of a fully loaded 6 wheeler concrete mixer due to sudden load slew, rapidly thought 1 keep going towards the deep ditch 2 aim for a bridge with railings diagonally take out the rails. 3 steer away from skid (not into as always recommended) and risk overturning into the ditch. I chose 3 and it worked out ok, and never thought more of it. If it went wrong, Im sure I would've condemned myself.

We should take fiskars to the european court of human rights claiming discrimination, they are insinuating uk residents of all being under 5ft and not needing the longer shafted X27. Probably under a vertically challenged ruling.

It would work especially as a preheater. Ive thought about it. It would be setting up the pipework and dismantling it when you turn the heap. Probably best to have as a separate coil going through an accumulator tank. Then it could have shut off valves near the tank to avoid it running as a refrigderator when it doesnt work.

If you take down a 40 ft tree you would be only a very short while at 40ft. Therefore you would need to do crown work alot or take a big tree down everyday to get that 10% i.e 1 in 10 hours above 40ft. 39 is less

I remember taking my nephew to the woods when he was 2. He wanted the toilet for a pee, I demonstrated (he wasn't convinced it could be done without a toilet) When he went back home he told everyone he learnt how to wee like a man in the woods. He is now in his teens and probably the best young lad I know and enjoys working. Just the basic things learnt young make a difference, no good learning how to use a hammer at 18.

Well done Dean, good man. It amused me the first time I went into building where they stitch tarps and curtains for trucks, we are not used to seeing men on sewing machines, but they were the tough uns like yours and not available in pink. Mayhem. If you go by that name in the tree game the old dears will be worried about you flattening their flowers when you are doing trees.

Laburnum is toxic when you burn it!!!

When we were all failing to get our x27s from amazon usa last year, I sent an email to fiskars uk asking if I could buy them wholesale( was thinking of us as a group ofg arbtalk members) Got a daft evasive reply from them, so I persisted and got, I reply to say not a uk market item yet blah, blah. But I wasn't impressed with the quality of reply in that instance and this looks like a pass the book. I think Finland will perhaps be the way you may need to go. Fiskars is a popular brand in the uk, It must be worth their while keeping us sweet.

But the leaves went a funny colour on all of them last October, they all have it now.

I have worn hearing aids for 35 years, I also have unusual hearing problems were I can hear to the degree of a normal conversation then at the other extreme Im so deaf that a fighter jet can go overhead low and I wouldn't hear it or a shotgun a few feet away. I dont have tinnitus when I hear well(for me) When deaf it ramps up the volume sometimes to the point that I cannot read and concentrate or attempt a conversation despite good lip reading ability. Now here is the interesting point, a person born deaf never will get tinnitus because the brain has never had to work out noise. So when a hearing person loses hearing, the brain goes frantic looking for noise to fill that void. People do get depressed and even commit suicide due to it. However I find that Im fine whilst working manually and driving is good for me because the other senses compensate, I even detect the emotional state of others much better when very deaf. It is manageable I find that telling people how I feel and its too much hard work to chat etc, then doing things I can do on my own is good, but if I played video games for example the sounds I remembered would play chaos in my head and Id tire quickly.

It will die! Sorry to poop the party, genuinely hope Im wrong. Good logistical exercise however.

Agree, the emissions need leaving alone for a bit now, the obssesion of setting targets has gone far enough. I realised the other day, my earlyMK5 1991 model ford escort van used to do 55mpg whereas the last version built out the same 1.8 block I struggle to get 41mgg. Admittedly the old one didn't have power sapping assisted steering, but that never bothered me. So Im burning more to save on emissions. Likewise with the adblue situation, again burn more to clean it, then who would of ever dreamt of putting the earth precious elements in a exhaust system(cat) palladium, platinum, etc. Sorry for the derail but I find it stupid that it has to affect power tools to the degree it does. As progress on research is biasedly spent.

On a nursery they would be caned and tied to keep straight, once up to 6ft they will hold themselves erect from then on, in the sapling years they are wishy washy and can double back on themselves, go horizontal and generally unwieldly. It is normal. The form you see on urban planting is usually the carpinus betulus fastigata form which is more compact and uniform. Whereas yours will be plain old carpinus betulus.

I reckon they will shut the account down before anyone bids, instead of those that do the actual fraud.
