  1. Will be interested how it works as was thinking of make one.
  2. Is it the same with load on.
  3. Filled can this morning with E10 for the first time, filled blower this afternoon as tank was empty ran for about a minute and slowed and then stopped first thought was seized so chuck it on truck, nearly stopped on the way home and bought new one but didn't. Turned out screw had come loose and court on ignition fly wheel
  4. Well yesterday, got asked what this would be worth, runs very true hand or foot treadle. With makers plate. Anyone got an idea.
  5. Have had more problems with petrol driven machinary with carbs block in the last year then ever before so they may of been changing things before saying anything. Was told last month red diesel has 8% bio in now, but could of had old stuff with only 5% in.
  6. And in a recyclable can, how things have changed.
  7. As in college I would not leave it standing if they have had one fail earlier. Did fell beech about 3 years ago which had meripilus for over 8 years and no signs of die back. When stump was ground out very little rot to see. Word any advice you give puts the decision in colleges hands.
  8. I ve message a lot of people to get clarification on this and still waiting on an answer. Maybe the arb association can ask the government if we can still use it in chippers.
  9. They sat outside a yard that deals in sand, gravel and topsoil a couple of months ago in Colchester stopped every lorry coming out was told 3 lorries from 1 haulage got seized.
  10. That would be vosa or how ever it is now, but they can't do anything about towed plant or trailered plant.
  11. Very nice. 👍.
  12. From what i have been told from supplier is, Red diesel will be available as it has always they will supply it and its up to you what you use it for. So the law has not changed they have just added more classes/industries to the list how can't use it. Just a bigger mine field for everyone to work around, even some machinery manufactures have told me wrong things about it
  13. That would be tight, put 2 in my 130 tippet the other day and only had a foot gap at front and it's got a 8 ft bed.
  14. Have put loads of unpointed posts in and they definitely twist less then pointed. You can twist then straight by hand but need to be loosened a bit first by wiggling them about with thumper.
  15. So it's a temporary fence in woodland, using cheap wire got timber to mill so go for it. How is going to see it, if it looks well put up should not matter.
  16. Have heard and seen more accidents and near deaths with poly and nylon rope with shackle on the end then any steel cable. Joined 2 ropes years ago with shackle and gave it a pull with small loader first rope broke sending shackle attached to rope along the ground at speed it hit a men at work sign we had put out punching a hole right through it.
  17. Take corners off square post and you have a Octopost
  18. About 3 mins in should explain it, if not watch the whole thing
  19. Best of luck getting hold of materials at a sensible price.
  20. Go high or very low and nowhere in between.
  21. My mate hired a kubota mini dumper when he dug out a patio area, ran it up on to an ifor and tipped dirt at front of trailer. Then hired it again to get concrete in, one hell of a machine it went through a narrow arch way and had to do a 90deg turn no way avant loader or similar would have done it. I can see how useful one would be on the way you chipper is small, but hire and try or even get one on demo and see how it goes and demo's cost nothing.
  22. Bet that wobbles a bit, and how do you get hands around it.
  23. Went into a Tesco petrol station yesterday and only E10 at pump all E5 covered over.
  24. I wish it would slow up a bit. Do a good job and word soon gets about and work comes in.
  25. Just thought it could be a fibre cable,
