  1. Had that on a main A road at night and bloke driving car had the nerve to try and tell TM lad there was something wrong with his light as they were on red both ends. Nice to use old kit to prove it can still do the job.
  2. Just keep nibbling at it you will get there in the end. Bore cut it at base and in a couple of other places you will know if worth milling. Kids have lost swing, could turn it into climbing thing
  3. Is it your tree or a job, would of thought not worth milling. I felled a beech yesterday 30 inches across base and 14 ft long, bloke that buys some butt's off me said no.
  4. Battery impact wrenchs have improved in the last 5 years, not many if any fitters use air tools.
  5. Have used both 12m and 14m ones and they are faster then Hinowa, mutable levers can be used which can't on some of the Hinowa's. The problem is they are narrow and have a habit of laying on their side.
  6. You could make them slide in and out to keep winch narrow.
  7. You may also consider if it needs to be a stubby style one.
  8. I run bosch stuff and bought a impact nut run with 300nm use it on everything that needs undoing from wheel nuts to chipper blades, Just because you run Makita doesn't mean you have to only rub it, you can get battery adaptors.
  9. You talk to any good game keeper they will not try and catch squirrels this time, as still food about for them. Best off shooting them this time of year.
  10. I have found that sometimes nothing appears on planning application site, but all have gone through. Did have a problem with local tree officer years ago how would not reply to anything I sent or answer phone. So I contacted customer services at council and they put me in contact with their boss, after talking to them got result. Maybe worth a try as he will have someone to answer to.
  11. It's got to be day rate, if no one knows how many want replacing. You could walk a big plantation all day and only plant 100 trees and that's going to be peanut for a days work.
  12. Probably best, as he or she maybe sitting in the shadows on here. Had a meeting a few weeks ago now with Forestry Commission the two young people that turned up new there stuff, and were very helpful give owner of wood a direct contact number to talk to them about any work we want to do in future.
  13. Rolled muntjac haunch boned and rolled rapped in streaky bacon with a bit of stuffing
  14. Not a fan of Reticle getting big when turning mag up
  15. Have found out that Schmidt and bender 2.5-10x50, is a FFP which I am not keen on. So been looking at Ziess Conquest v6,
  16. So my Leupold scope has developed fog inside, so need to send it off for repair. Have found a bargain on a Schmidt and bender 2.5-10x50 ir has anyone on here used or use one.
  17. No sap wood or heart wood. Spruce.
  18. Cut it lower, and drill holes and fill with mixed glyphosate and do it now if you leave it till spring sap will be rising. And cover with plastic. Use glyphosate by instructions only not neat.
  19. Go steady on wire brushing, old boy in my village srart tidying up oil tank landed up putting a hole in it.
  20. It's still down to tanker drivers to fill or not to fill. So if it looks old and possible it may leak they want fill it.
  21. Remember that year, was fencing by a slow flowing river which froze over. But best fun was getting through gate with combination padlock which was frozen, blow lamp didn't do it a lot of good.
  22. Anyone use a good diesel additive to stop black sludge. There's so many on the market but need pointing in right direction.
  23. Check plug cap is all as it should be, had a saw that played up like that and turned out, bit that connected to lead had lost it's spike.
  24. Just can't tell some people what would be best to save money. Old builder I know always quote, Help them the way they are going.
