is it a Scheduled Ancient Monument, if so I think you need permission from someone but I cant remember who, possibly Natural England -
And we wonder why the NHS is at breaking point!

at least the stainless is non magnetic, so no probs with the MRI

road registering a telehandler for road use
farmer rod replied to Johny Walker's topic in Large equipment
I think that depends on whether you wish to register it as agricultural or as a commercial vehicle. The registration is the easy part, working out what you are and are not allowed to do with it after that, depending on the colour of the fuel is the mind blowing bit. -
I had to attend an HSE day, which I have to agree was very informative and well presented, one of the pictures they had was of a large modern tractor and tanker which had rolled backwards down a steep hill and come to extreme grief. The cause was that the driver had stalled it, loosing power to the brakes and probably rendering the steering almost unusable. I own a 4000 but she doesnt go on the road

I agree with you Jon I think its brilliant -
Go on... try it out, you might find you get more posts than the Mendi Plogs weather, ...then maybe not anyone for Relational Database Management?

Well that's one way to get the job done quick...
farmer rod replied to Shipwrecked Bones's topic in Picture Forum
my thoughts as well -
The traction control is standard in the dmax I think, my main gripe is that there is no bleeper if you drive along in 4wd, whereas it bleeps if you put the key in the ignition or havent put your seatbelt on

Im hoping to avoid it, but I think it will only be good fortune, might get some holly in the house as well. Todays foray into the prickles results in more confusion. I picked one specimen which I thought might have the remains of flower buds on it, only to find that the next one I found was actually flowering.

hi Jon, with a good man operating it aswell, Ive only got an axe all the best, Rod

thanks again for all the replies, Im off to find one with no berries, Ive had a look at where the berries hang on, and Im hoping to be able to distinguish that out in the hedgerows so I can identify a male tree. Probably wont know till the spring if I was right, unless of course the ring worm clears up !
-
Thanks for all the replies, our cattle this year have a dose of ringworm going through, (it is a fungal infection resulting in scabby circles which apart from being an irritation, are not economically treatable, or not treatable once established) It doesnt look good, and it can be passed to humans. Someone told me that hanging holly in the shed would clear it up. I googled it and guess what, every second result from google recommends the holly, but not just holly, male holly. Normally I would want to know why something works or doesnt work, but on this occasion i am prepared to just give it a go, so it looks all Christmassy in the cattle shed, but I was aware whilst hanging up my bunches,I couldnt tell the male from the female. Would they be on the same tree, or are there male and female trees?
-
Can anyone guide me as to how to tell male holly apart from female holly. Ive looked at a fair bit, those bits with berries on are obviously female, but I suspect some of those without berries have just had the berries nicked by the pigeons. All help gratefully received.

why dont you want conny?

ah just seen your update, so nearer £60

I make that £126 PER TONNE for electric, is that right?

There was talk that one of the herbicides used on rape in the 70's did the worms in. That was a fair while back, and I cant either remember the name or whether this was actually true. Stubble burning and direct drilling could have also been a factor, but I would imagine these effects would ave worn off. Another potential culprit is the New Zeland flat worm which is said to munch through our conventional earthworms and has infected some areas, (again not much info, just idle chat)

Originally I was just thinking of a low cost option for Skyhuck, but we still have about 40MWh of under used tier 1 capacity, which is niggleing away at the back of my mind, and we cut 100t of processor sized ash/alder this year...
