RJ&KD McLEAN Machinery Dealers in Dorset | The Farming Forum THEFARMINGFORUM.CO.UK They seem a good professional firm going by the website but a fair way from us and been looking at some tractors they are selling. Are they a good firm... "click" on the TFF image and it should? load the thread.

But which end of the correct hammer was used? Having spent 32 years in a Local Authority, I quickly larned that such arcane knowledge was somewhat more esoteric than I had foolishly presumed. P.S. I was pleased to see that Monsanto had thought to clearly specify that the plug was to be inserted smaller diameter end first.

Hmmm, Anyway, perhaps I misquoted myself, anyway, thinking over what I stated, I concluded that I never was aware that there was a non-return valve in grease guns, why would there be when there is a non-return valve built into the grease nipple itself?(and I must pull a scrap one apart, the first wet day, to double check) so unless this foot operated grease gun incorporates a non-return valve, how would "releasing" the pressure make any difference, or does it perhaps "suck" the grease back a tad?. But then why do they also need to provide an easy release coupler? I worry about these kind of things. Cheers marcusthehatter.

But was last year not a bumper crop?

My take on this is "horses for courses", anyway from my experience the biggest issue is getting the coupler to attatch and stay on the zerk/nipple, and while easy to access zerks/nipples may allow for complicated fancy bulky couplers, the ackward buggers generally require a small/short/neat/angled/bent coupler. That first video was "pants" and misleading to boot, as releasing the pressure at the pump, will do little to release the pressure at the nipple/zerk, depending on the length of the delivery tube, the bore diameter and the thickness of the grease! But the release mechanism at the coupler looks to be a good idea. And yes, the infalliable rule, grease gets everywhere except where it is most needed. Especially the black PBL stuff!

That is not luck money, simply a downright dishonest practise to inflate prices for the benefit of the top breeders, at the expense of everyone else, also has benefits re any inflated insurance claims.

I ud associate that behavouir with new money btw.

"Luck Penny" was the term I grew up with, and yes after the ruthless bargaining, a gesture that there was goodwill. When I bought the car trailer a few month ago, I was a little surprised to get a "luck penny" back, about £40 in 2.5k. Here in NI, not particularly connected to the travelling community, just more a rural thing. Actually recalling Sean, the plasterer gave me a luck penny back when I paid him for plastering the garden room, this after several needed interjections on my part regarding his "failure to comply" with my clearly stated requirements when the job was priced, but I paid up, in full, in cash and on completition.

Land for the Many A report to the Labour Party, June 2019

Perhaps a start would be some attempt to stem the flow of economic migrants and benefit abusers, that have to be housed somewhere. Then re-develop some of the very very low density Council Estates,(the ones with vast swathes of neglected grass everywhere, at least here in NI) into higher quality and higher density housing. Then look at brownfield sites. Last on the list should be greenfield development, unless low value moorland or desolate mountainsides. -
Borrow?, cos sounds like you dinny really want her back?

The above sums it up, particularily the weather aspect, cos imho, an somewhat limited experience, a stone burrier only works in dry soils. An dry concrete/dry tarmac, after a brief blink o the Sun, after it has pished doon for weeks, bes a bit/whole lot different to dry soil!

"Stolen from the few", so that will be all right then, just to complete their unfinished sentence. Death duties were introduced in 1894, and for the next century were effective in breaking up large estates. And Labour need to(effectively) re-confiscate these same lands again, from their new owners who bought and paid for them. But a sure Labour vote winner, robbing Peter to pay Paul -
I never quite got my head round the seemingly straightforward Horsepower to kilowatts (kW) conversion calculator WWW.RAPIDTABLES.COM Horsepower (hp) to kilowatts (kW) power conversion: calculator and how to convert. HP/Kw equivalances, where an electric motor of lower power will apparently do the same work as a higher powered diesel. Max torque at zero revolutions for the electric is part of this equation, and per the fuel burned comment, no wasted fuel "ticking over" between work cycles helps. Still perplexing to me.

Tis no my hearing I ud be worried about! Also admiring the footware! Ouch!

Couch , cough, I spied a man with what I surmise to be a wee walk-behind seeder, so guessing . . . but I suppose it could be fertilizer going on, prior to turf? Bugger iffen I ud want to keep that expanse of fresh turf watered in July mind.

Paul, based on shafting tools with riven or carefully selected lengths of round Ash saplings this 40 years, such knowledge being handed down from my father, also as an adolescent making reasonably successful longbows from Ash saplings. I believe my father also recounted Ash being used, and of preference for cart shafts, due to its resilence. Hence my puzzlement at dead Ash trees being "bruckle", which fact I also readily acknowledge. Cheers Marcus
