Indeed, per my own appreciation of der blurb, but contradicted by him wot is supposed to knoe, the Co Down dealer. Fingers crossed.

Kinda I did however witness Matt Hellesby Huston, a gunner in the TA, back about 1983-1985, reverse a LWB Series III Landrover "flat-out" (and in the high box!) with a poxy short wheelbase Army trailer on behind, on a NATO pintle hitch. For some considerable distance. OK On dead flat concrete(a runway) But nevertheless an astonishing performance. Before the days of camera phones unfortunately.

Took a long hard look at a Clearview Pioneer oven model today, burning very very old dry hardwood in/on a display stand caravan, very very impressed I must say. A pity the flue can only be top mounted on the oven model rather have it going out the back to allow a larger top surface. hmmm!

v tidy set-up specially as a winching unit, just looks "right"

I had looked at the Snugburner as an option, BUT , since discontinued production, prob sommat to do with ce approval costs, advertised as being due to inability of AGA engineers to service a pressure jet installation, and normal pressure jet trained guys "feart" of touching an AGA. They still offer parts and support though, seemed like a genuine bloke/firm to my mind. cheers m

OSM The image above is the exact same model as our AGA, which I took a look at last night. Quite unfeasible to convert to wood firing, so I shall merely strip her down and palletize for a future rainy day when my back starts telling me heating oil is cheap. Regards all, m PS wtf did AGA not do a Timken "wall flame" oil burner, instead of a wick, totally silent, and as I understood from Dad 45 year ago, reasonably efficient.

Indeed Billhook, a very valid point, but SM (Senior Managment) has her notions:thumbup: and while she continuies to keep my belly well filled and testicles well-empty, I shall attempt to humour her. regards M

Erm, why?, from fond memories of exploring & exploiting the performance envelope of a wee 540 Universal many year ago, He got fat tyres, chains & brains, on an bomb proof tractor, designed for this very type of use, & in some eyes abuse. Rock on Tommy! PS A gut judgement, but I instantly figgered he was NOT abusing the clutch, despite the theatricals.

No issue re flue, it will be new Dinak twin wall stainless, I saw somewhere the need to up the flue connection to 5" from 4", plus enlarge the airways (which are artifically "throttled" at some point) Anyway "suck it and see" may well be the best approach before lashing out on a Nectre Baker's oven from Australia or a Lohberger. Or sommat equally exotic. I will be better informed once I take a better look at wot we got regards all marcus

Thanks, & pm sent cheers Marcus

We got an AGA sitting unused. We were for buying a wood burning Stove/Oven Hob for the new garden Room. Only for space heating. Could it make sense to convert the AGA to burn timber, being 100% "bone-dry" Conifer. Rather than spend £1,500 to £3,000 on a dedicated wood burning stove (with a Lohberger at the £3,000.00 end) I reckon we will need about 5kW to the room, as there will be underfloor heating as a background heat. I would not particularly wish to "butcher" the AGA, but if it is only scrap value otherwise . . . And I dont believe I could stomach running it on KERO, even 6 months a year, perhaps in my later years, but not now. regards M

Saw a house Martin/Swallow about the front door on Mon 4th April at 06:15, still near dark too (dark enough I first thought Bat) , but def a Swallow or House Martin. They might just have cause to regret their early arrival with our current weekend forecast!

Ah liked the excavator building the stone wall clip, which followed on after your clip Eddie. PS Proper jealous of all your wonderful hydraulic kit I am btw. regards marcus

Nice!, what caliber though?, gussing sommat a trifle unusual?

We run a bigger Grillo, a FD1500, this 10 years or so, conceptually a good design, there were certain design flaws in earlier models though, impellor too soft steel and near impossible to extraciate to replace, design and make-up of which was then totally revised, lack of grease nipples on the hi-lift mechanism/linkage, shitty painted mild steel mesh in the collector box, needed to be stainless or galv, but otherwise a sound compact design, with a Kubota engine and reliable hydraulics. I am considering replacing with a Grillo FD 2200, or equil JD or Kubota. Not a popular brand here in NI, since the dealer has been desperately trying to flog me an demo/unsold/unsellable FD1100, this past 18 months. m
