Fog light is good, for a little more light I sometimes put my foot just on the brake, quite a bit more light still. But, It won't tell the numpty behind me I want to reverse a bit so I can get off the road...

I was thinking about this thread this morn as I want the same result. I thought of going about it slightly different though. I'm putting the tail-lights on 1 pin rather than two (it's fused to power sidelights plus three marker lights= 20W, but I've got only one marker light+led sides) and put the reversing light on there. They'll need a switch-over switch (reverse/light) on both the trailer and vehicle, so I can use the trailer normally behind another vehicle and another trailer behind mine. The main advantage I thought would be that this way I cannot occidentally leave the fog-light switched off as would be possible in the suggestion above, and having to get out of the vehicle to switch the reversing lights on would be a pain too. Can anyone see any problems I might run in to with the above solution?

I have two little lines engraved into some of my bars, just at the bottom of where the grinder sits. It means that when I'm milling or doing other repetitive work, I can put the grinder in just the same spot again, at exactly the same height which means minimal adjustment needed on the grinder.

Why? Many American homes (Most even?) are built of timber. Many American homes have damp problems, just like here. The spores of the moulds that grow on damp interior woodwork can make one quite seriously ill.Mold health issues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia So perhaps not such a ridiculous comment?

Not an hse officer, but whilst I was in Oxford for a farming conference I attended a speech by a consultant who's main theme was "future-proofing for climate change and severe weather events" who told us he was a little late as he had trouble locating the shallowest bit of the park and ride carpark. The water rose another 14" during that day....

I think it's blatant sexism, and not appropriate. I also think it's a nice picture of a good-looking girl... I have two daughters, that are growing up in this age of photoshop and insanity, vanity and completely unreasonable expectations of what girls should grow up to look like. I'm not saying that pictures of pretty people should be banned, I'd much prefer looking at a pretty person than an ugly one, but time and place appropriateness is vital for our childrens (of both sexes) to grow up into well rounded individuals with a realistic view of what people look like.

I want them to... They'll be on a rotation: Grass for 6-7 years, then pigs, then veg, then hens and pigs again (to clear up any unharvested veg) then grass again. p.s. I've asked my granny: she knows very little about sucking eggs?

Dagnammit! I'm so easily lured in by the promise of being right... I'm not a native English speaker though.... I've 12 acres of grass that I'll be planting up with a variety of trees. I'll be planting fruit trees, nut trees and a few specimen trees of other beneficial use like Robinia -nitrogen fixing, excellent for bees and can be "shredded" for fodder, Some hybrid poplars for their ability to produce such huge amounts of leaf and thus add carbon to the soil=better grass, as well as bring other trees up a little straighter etc. and probably some just for beauty, perhaps plant some cedar, wellies or some such for visual enjoyment only. We're probably aiming for about 1/4 to 1/3 tree cover so there are no areas shaded permanently but the whole field has an equally spaced splattering of trees. This should provide shade and shelter for the animals (we've cattle, sheep and hens, pigs to follow...) without impeding grass growth too much. The nutrients brought up by the trees from areas deeper than the grass roots will be shed by the trees by their leaves thus enhancing the soil and making better for grass growth, hopefully compensating for the diminished light. It also means we can create a "3D cropping" system, with the trees using much deeper soils and heights no other crop can benefit from, where other arable or pasture just uses a foot or so either side of soil level... That's the rough plan anyway.

As a pedantic git, I believe there is no such word..... Interesting thread by the way, I'm looking to plant up twelve acres on a silvo-pasture basis.

The trailer is only part loaded now, the rest of the load was a massive bunch of helium balloons with a lift of about a tonne.... Or... It was strictly on private terrain...

J's log above: Pi x r squared gives 3.141 x .25 (.50 x .50) =0.785 which is the surface area. Volume is surface (0.785) x length (3m) =2.355m2

樹木傷口是否需要塗藥？ 「樹木的防禦機制」是有近代樹木醫學之父美譽的美國學者Alex Shigo博士在1985年提出CODIT腐朽區隔(Compartmentalization Of Decay In Trees)理論。說明樹木死亡的組織並沒有被修護，而是在腐朽 部位的周圍形成防禦層，防止感染擴散。其主要的防禦機制有兩點： Is an interesting way of putting it.

Surely the warranty is something you purchase when you buy the tool. It's not an agreement with the vendor, but with the manufacturer. They then have agreements with their dealers to honour their end of the bargain and they get paid for doing so. Where or who from you bought the saw should make no difference at all.

I could be wrong (it has happened before, 1982 it was..) but the way I understand it is whether or not the movement is for hire or reward, for example moving the wood you are to cut or the planks you have cut to or from a customer. Moving a tool to use in your trade is not that and thus exempt?

I think I'll be having a go at this one:001_cool: anyone else coming?

They may (just) last the two years, but cannot be relied on for any longer than that. Charring the ends (bundle a load up, points all together, and hold them in a fire or big blowtorch until they are starting to burn, the layer of carbon will slow the decay considerably) may buy another two years. What are you fencing and why for only two years?

How about re-plating your beloved Puch to 3501 Kg mam? It would put it in the Lgv bracket which for private use will make no financial difference to you but allows you to pull a 12m trailer.

Surely a high hitch would mean that when your braking in a corner, the trailer will push you over? Or if the trailer brakes are strong, pull you over...

Has anyone ever made their own full wrap handles? Since they seem so hard to get and are not too cheap I'd think making one yourself may be an option?

Well, this is what I got: It used to belong to a rabbit farmer who used it to take his 11lbs bunnies to the slaughter, 1200 at a time... He put three 1800 kg axles under and had an uprated landcruiser to tow it with. It's been downplated back to 3500kg now and tows really nice. On the flat I can easily push it with one hand, manouvre it easily too. It has a 5m bed, 2.2m wide. The 5m bed means I can put a 9m load on without breaking any rules. A load can comfortably stick out 1 meter over the front (just dont do any very tight reversing) and 3 over the back before needing anything more than a board on the end:thumbup1:

Not too relevant with this pathetic excuse for a winter but: never eat yellow snow.

Yes, the trunk does but not the smaller branches?

Not a sycamore is my first thought, but not enough pictures to go on.

How about a 6 tonne machine? I'd have to hire them in anyway and the price difference is not huge.
