I was 11 years old when I first started using a chainsaw, a maculloch mac10 auto, no AV, no chainbreak, and a kin big 3/8 chain, granted I was watched, and well schooled in its use, back then no ppe either, you learned from your elders and developed a respect for your tools, didnt take risks, or be stupid........mind you back then we had this thing called common sense, seems to be sorely missing these days
-
not everything needs a pto drive, but a front linkage can be a godsend on a mog, would expect that to go for around 16-18k
-
go round the dealers, try them all, see what the best deals are, and get the one that ticks the most boxes for yourself, everbody has there own ideas of whats best, but there is very little difference between any of the makes these days
-
some very nice "flameing" through that

Did you hear about the Man who picked up an Adder?
agrimog replied to bazbro's topic in General chat
dependant on size and time of year, anything of around 2ft in length deserves a wide berth, especially in the hot weather when there most active, seem to be more common in the heathland and forest type areas of the country, I used to catch them when I was a teen working on the farm, a little respect for them goes a long way, and according to new research, the "harmless" slow worm, or grass snake, is actually venomous as well -
woodmizer making a killing on the prices, list price stateside, around $3250, so back to the dollar = pound game again, would be interesting to see the finish cut quality though.

Using a chainsaw in a public place
agrimog replied to NorfolknGood's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
"If the activity is commercial it must meet the HSE's requirements for PPE HSAW etc. ", no it doesnt......there is NO LEGAL REQUIRMENT FOR A PERSON OPERATING THERE OWN PROPERTY TO COPMPLY. to many of you sheeple have been brainwashed by big brother, your own property, you can do what you like -
it sounds very much like the power pack has a basic three way valve fitted, in one position the oil ciculates through the system bypassing the outlet and return circuits, in the other it goes to the outlet, and the retun comes back from whatever is connected in the circuit, if theres nothing in the circuit, selecting this will deadhead the pump, and either stall the motor(good thing, safety wise), or damage the pump,( usually caused by too big of a motor on the pump, bad component selection). and as Wefixit says, theres no such thing as zero back pressure in a hydraulic circuit, you put pressure into something, its got to go somewhere when it comes back out

its no propa nato tea unless its made with the big teabag out of the 10man rat pack, and brewed in the big rectangular pot(an old ammo box), and served in the black plastic mug of the bottom of the water bottle...lol....nowadays a nice ASDA chai with lemon, refeshing and just "nice"
-
have a look on etsy.com, and folksy.com, I think you will be surprised what work of this quality goes for, £200 wouldnt buy a leg of the inlay table
-
15 or 18mm steel cable above the first crotch and a steady pressure from the cat, it'll cut like a sapling
-
instead of buying redex, just add some ATF fluid, its as close to redex as makes no difference
-
where did this no motorway come from?, the restriction on motorways for agri machines is only if they cannot maintain a MINIMUM speed of 25mph, which means tractors, cos there limited to 20mph under the C&U Act, unless they have suspension on ALL wheels and brakes on ALL wheels, its the suspension bit that get the conventional tractor every time
-
its the automatic "send help" beacon, new fit for all landrovers
-
read the HSE guidlines
-
this is the same as saying "we are doing you for speeding, cos you car can do more than 70, so we'll just put it down you were doing 100, that be ok", same reasoning
-
of course you can tow the empty trailer, as long as it doesnt exceed the GTW of the tow vehicle, the rules apply to ACTUAL weight, not the possible weight, VOSA have had there fingers rapped for trying to bring prosecutions based on the carrying capacity rather than the true weights
-
if you do not drive for hire or reward, Ie a private hgv, like a motorhome , or historic, or privately owned horsebox, you do not require a CPC, also testing a vehicle, or driving a fire engine, there are other exceptions, the usual with certain details, they are deliberatly vauge in an effort to confuse the user......DVLA and VOSA at there best
-
it was a slightly sarcastic dig at speed, most tractors these days are fitted with 40,50, or 60k gearboxes, the RTA actually states that the speed limit for tractors (defined in the construction and use act) shall not exceed 20mph, its been the same since 1964 ammendment! any switched on traffic bod will have the driver for speeding, then tot up the offences for tyres, trailers, and anything else under the latter, so one stop could loose your licence. (ie, a 4 wheeled farm trailer being towed at between 30-40 mph, fitted with tyres rated at 25mph, 3 points a tyre, and up to a grand each in fines, things like that)
-
barnsley bob, I think you'll find most of the RTA sections dont apply to agri trailers below 20mph, and as tractors legally cant exceed 20mph they dont apply, and you dont build new trailers, you repair old ones......even if the only original part is a wheel nut, its a repair....how do they prove otherwise. there is NO test for a non commercial trailer.
-
in these temps, why arent you using type A's, it is allowed
-
there are currently 3 different standards for wiring trailer plugs, and none of the above rules apply for agricultural trailers or towed equipment
-
49 = power, 31 = ground, 49a = signal out, c2 = warning lamp.

for mossie and cleg bites,press a hot teaspoon onto the bite, the heat kills the protein that causes the itching, not that hot it burns you mind

it becomes a fitness and stamina thing more than an age thing, If you enjoy working outdoors, and are reasonably fit, the stamina will come I've watched a lot of youngsters, fit young guys, but by lunchtime there burned out, while us older ones just keep ploding away, If you feel you want to do it, just do it, dont let anyone ever tell you your too old
