  1. Yes, they are not immune to Weil's disease, cats however are. I do think the possibility of training a pack of attack cats is a little remote though.:biggrin:
  2. My saw puddles oil underneath it when left standing on its base. It has done this for some time. Is this normal or have I a leak I need to fix? Any help appreciated. TIA
  3. Dispute it within 45 days wiith Paypal or you are out of time. It would have ot be Item not as described. I dont think they have one for "Its Nicked" but eith the amount of alledgedly hookeu stuff on Ebay they should have.
  4. In the UK if the item is proven to be stolen then the buyer has the receipt to prove that he bought it in good faith he will not be prosecuted. However the saw is returned to the rightful owner which is not the person who bought it off Ebay. The buyer then looses his money and the saw. Thats how it is here in the UK. The seller never had title to the item and therefore had no right to sell it. Has happend quite a lot with cars. Police turn up and inform the proud new owner that their new pride and joy os stolen and they take it away with them and return it to its real owner.
  5. Must be one of those big pallets:laugh1: Yup neighbour is retired and in all day, needs to get out more and stop worrying about wht other folks are doing. Had liners put into the chimney since I didnt think it was secure. When we moved in(other half of a very old semi he said the sitting room fire smoked him out) I thought the chimney was porus but apparently his house is so cold it sucks the warm air down his air vents on the roof. Aarrghhh some people:mad:
  6. Probably about 1.5 cube so far since September on an 8KW stove in the sitting room. It is only on from 17:00 til midnight. Central heating is run on anthracite but looking at changing to logs throughout for cost comparison. Neighbour complains about hte smell from a wooodstove during the day. Prefers the coal. !!!
  7. I have a Kubota B7100 and it was quite expensive. Factory refurbished (didnt say which factory) but it needed going over since the refurbers didnt seem to have had a torque wrench in their toolkit. I have a topper with it and it took out brambles and mixed scrub over an acre in half a day. I used it to pull felled trees andit makes a good backweight felling trees sloping the wrong way. They are a decent little tractor but because the wheels are so close together they can churn up the ground a bit. Mine has a loader on the front and it is worth its weight in gold. I paid around £4,500 for the tractor and a further £750 for the implements. It gets used well and gives good service. I did consider a rather larger tractor but the cost of running and the weight on the land would have been too much. Rather envious of the chateau and land. Good luck ot you and be careful.
  8. Not free but horticultural auctions sometimes have cheap trees. I generally go to York from here and but stuff I need. Last spring bought 125 ash tree saplings for £12.50 which was cheap. Hawthorn makes from £0.25 to £0.75 per plant. Cheaper than the nurseries but certainly not free.
  9. Covers are available from the States and the postage is more than I paid for the hedgecutters. As yours is, I just want to play and I dont actually need it. You know, because it is there sort of thing.
  10. Problem with this is that it is marked as obsolete and there are no spares available for it. I need a fuel tank and a filter cover for mine which is sitting on the bench waiting for the long winter evenings so I can fettle it. I think I have a work round for the leaky fuel tank but the plastic is defeating me at teh moment.
  11. I have 2 and one of them is a house cat and rarely goes out. The other, also a posh thoroughbred, thinks it is a leopard and kills rabbits of all ages. He only eats the heads and the dogs then clean up the rest. Wont touch rats though and there are a lot about here at the moment. Killing 2 or 3 each day. Rabbits have all disappeared round here though and its not the cat because I have seen no corpses
  12. I use the wheel version Link I find you have to be careful you dont take too much off.
  13. Cutting logs for the winter. Stopped the chainsaw at 1 minute to 11 and stood on my own in the middle of my holding in silence. At 11:02 fired up the saw again after paying respects.
  14. I have rare breed black and white turkeys in a steel cage pen with wire over the top and dug in wire round the base. They go into the block shed at night though. They are not for Christmas but mey breeding stock. I raise th epoiults and sell them. We have foxes around but the dogs hunt them with a vengeance if they get a scent of one. Neighbouring farmer poisions them with lead at high velocity. The damage tehy can do is not good to see.
