  1. I keep in touch with Rodney just in case he is letting one go cheap or sommat. First came across Essener years ago when sourcing good ladders.
  2. Quicksand type "morass", I assumed peat before viewing. I liked the way the operator on the wee digger used the "steel wrist" rotating gizmo. Expensive looking bucket too.
  3. Borrowed one to shift a few pallets, pootling about at tickover revs. Decided to "buldoze" some full Lodgepole tree lengths to tidy up/play a bit:lol:. Dont think I had her more than 1/2 revs/3/4 revs. Bloody hell, the power and the capabilities.(leastwise compared to my clapped out DB 1490) I want one, I want one, I want one. Dont particularly want to pay for one:blushing: is the only problem.

    Plenty in Co Antrim too. Noticed when blackberrying. No frost yet so not rushing to pick.
  5. wot e^ said. in spades. greed greed greed prevails
  6. Car or super single tyres, filled with subsoil or dirty gravel, staggered joints and raked back at an angle, if needed, but prob not, (vertically darned with heavy section re-bar, if paranoid). Easy to place by hand, rounded and soft in appearance, everlasting, and vegitation can either be planted in the chinks, or will naturally grow over. marcus
  7. A farming neighbour, who is 6 foot 7 and built to match. When building the replacment farmhouse, provided himself with a Belfast sink, between the back door and his adjacent office. Specially to give himself a rinse down in, after work. It is about 5 feet off the floor. His wifes nose would just about touch the rim. I thought that a work of pragmatic genius.
  8. Erm, Actually a high powered remote control helicopter with specially sharpened blades. Chop chop chop Or yon NZ hedgecutter flicked on its side
  9. You do realize with 2 squadrons worth of Spitfire pilots co-habiting. You are going to be very firmly at the rear of the Emily Blunt queue. just a thought m
  10. Americans do appear to be better at designing machinery fixable with an (i) angle grinder, (ii) a hammer, (iii) a stick welder and perhaps a basic socket set.
  11. Doobin, Huuussssh! there The Master Plan is to get the poor chap so lumbered with the debt incurred buying a humuengeously unneeded machine. He will very soon go bust:001_tt2:
  12. Should not need that much height. Lift loader (to max if necc), tip forks to rotate IBC forward, even if the forks are touching the bed of the trailer, the IBC should be "teetering" on the point of balance. Manually tip IBC, onto front side, then simply "crowd" the forks back up to lift the IBC base upwards. AH! I forgot the check chain/rope needed to prevent the IBC tipping too far/ allow the toes to lift it back up when crowded back. gibber, mutter an twitch May need furthur development:confused1: or a proper loader:lol:
  13. so 1.200 by 1.830 = 2.196 by 0.914 = 2.00m3 by 0.965 = 2.12m3 by 1.070= 2.35m3 weight of contents may vary:lol:
  14. see, i hope? Should work, I imagine. Gravity being generally reliable. Why did I label the IBC an IBU? ibc tipper.pdf
  15. There is a better way! Await scribble an scan. m
  16. Hi Sur tis better than some o ourn (English) Nivver mine der German. (I could always communicate sufficient to order beer when in Germany though) Once, after a particularly tiring day on recce, breaking into pidgin:blushing: German in the NAFFI. My how they laughed, funny thing was it took me ages to figger out why or what they were laughing at:confused1:. Ps Do Bindenberger not produce something like what you are looking for? Blue paint and hot dip galvanised machines. cheers marcus
  17. I have had cylinder mowers end up like that, cept they merely went in to have a leaky pipe fixed.
  18. thanks for that openspaceman, worth consideration, got a while yet anyways
  19. Oddly, despite our dogs regularly frolicking up the moss, through endless heather and other vegitation. Only very very occasional ticks. This could be because the Jack Russell is a proper fiend for grooming all the others, teeth chattering like a sewing machine. marcus
  20. If I said my wife says I can wait.................................................................?

    Bee keeping would be my next goal. (an pigs) Fattened thousands of the blighters this year, an they carted all the Honey up to a guy in the Village. An did he even offer me a pot. Hardly! bah humbug! PS Senior Managment says Radio 4 says Apple Jelly "is the new Sex", apparently. Me? I still prefer the old kind.

    Yes Huck, thats my Honey in the red jumper:thumbup: However The stuff in the jars is; (i) Apple jelly with fresh home made Lemon pectin added. (ii) Pure Lemon made from scratch Marmalade, 24 lemons worth. No added water or pectin in any of Senior Managment's jam. They are however new bought jars, and usually sold to Bee Keepers for Honey. cheers marcus
