In general what do you make of the BCS flail for long grass, brambles etc?
-
or with your fingers if no paper is available:001_tt2:
-
coffee also slows down your lymphatic drainage, making your body less quick to deal with viruses.

Yes, you would have to clean up after it, thats where the digger mounted brash rake comes in:001_tt2: No I would never expect it to do the job of a tractor, but in some situations it could be very handy for swinging around, if you had a big conifer hedge it would leave a pretty tidy finish (with a good operator) where a flail couldn't go, of course it has the benefit of trimming inbetween a hedge and a fence.

Isn't balancing the flywheel so it hangs right the hard bit?
-
coffees for office workers anyway, no real tree man drinks coffee, tea all the way!

Auger Torque - Hedge Trimmer Don't know if my link will work, never done one before. But what do you guys reckon of this to go on a mini digger. Obviously you wouldn't expect to compete with the speed of tractor flail, but i reckon it could do a much neater job particularly large domestic/estate type hedges? The design basically looks like a large handheld trimmer, would be useful for brambles/scub too i think.

My collie gets yeasty type infections on his feet it goes all red and itchy and he doesn't stop licking we (the vet) thinks it may well be due to the wheat which packs alot of mass into most commercial mixes. So feeding raw meats/ bones etc may well become a neccesity for him. Do many of you feed your dogs vegetables (i realise a few shouldn't be fed to dogs), or is this probably as unnatural for their guts as drymix?
-
cranky things and certainly wouldn't want to rely on doing anything too risky with it, but for a tenner they have their uses.
-
I got a couple bottles of ale from matey who regularly helps me out.
-
you have a very good point there B2T. I feel extremely lazy and 'wrong' just pouring dry dog mix into his bowl every evening but without spending a fortune (and I don't go shooting) I don't see any other option. Although i'll gladly be enlightened

Sorry, what do you mean by that? What make a 'professional' hedgelayer as opposed to someone who does it for a living (a large percent of my winter work). Good thread by the way. -
yes i like the look of the wallensteins but do they do a self powered one that isn't a towbehind? can't see one on their website.
-
too true. this should see some interesting responses:001_huh:
-
Same here, our old collie lived till 17 on mole vally £10 for 15kg.
-
Thats good to hear. I will inquire see what they cost, do you do an evening a week?
-
Yes, I did think (am still thinking) about doing an evening course at college to help me on my feet with regards setting it up properly etc, it might save many hours/months/years of fiddliling around trying to work it out on my own, although i do know a couple competant welders. Unfortunatly I have always been rather put of college courses ever since doing my Arb course, maybe the evening courses have a bit more structure to them as it'l be mostly adult learners.

I think there is a stigma attached to phoning mobiles for the older generations. In all my advertising I always make it quite clear that my landline is for evenings and weekends only. But most phone my mobile leave a message and i get back to them on my breaks (i leave phone in truck else il lose it!)
-
Cheers mate, that was another option buying a lower powered mig and getting an arc to bodge the bigger stuff, but I thought one powerful mig would be a better choice. I can't see myself needing to weld thicker than 10mm.
-
and theyv cottoned onto the fact that putting the oil and fuel next to each other ala 339xpt was a crap idea
-
ooo goody, i hopes its better than the ms200t/201
-
very sorry to hear that, leaves a big hole when they go. I too dread the day when my companion (collie) is no longer.
-
Cheers Treequip, handy advice, looking at the Oxford migmaker 240, slightly over my budget, whats the difference between single phase & three phase? the Oxford 270 is being offered at the same price in either option.
-
good responses, thanks. I won't have a problem telling the difference between metals etc and anyway 99% Of the time it will be steel. Two questions. is Mig Ok for galvanised metals and also is it capable of welding hardened metals such as Hardox 400 etc?
-
Most can be done inside (unless its an emergency repair) Unfortunatly it will tend to be rather dirty metal but I have plenty of grinders and stuff so could make it clean. Im guessing a high powered MIG?
