  1. correct me if wrong, but do farmers these days need to apply for a licence before they dig there ditches out???

     

    Yes that's correct. So much paperwork involved the job becomes low on farmers list. Some white collar officer would have to come out on a joy ride and inspect the said ditch, write a report, tell the farmer where to put the spoil which he would probably have to cart away at vast expense. Result is farmer thinks oh b.gger it, it won't flood and job never gets done..

  2. Wheres the bloody RSPCA when they are needed to help the farmers,if horses or dogs were at risk they would be chucking resources at the situation.

    RSPCA has millions in the kitty to help,next thing you know they will be trying to prosecute farmers on crazy welfare charges.

    Spot on. Hypocritical RSPCA. Take their charitable status away from them for not giving assistance to a once in a lifetime animal disaster.

  3. Ive just bought a Tanaka ECV 4501. A great professional saw and starts very easily. These Japanese engines last and the saw is much better price than a Stihl or Husky. With Stihl you pay for the name like we used to with Castrol.

    It's got all round vibration rubbers too.

  4. Got the hycrack with the larger platform. Brilliant tool but think the screw could have been designed to have been a couple of inches further up from the platform so it doesnt just split the lower end of the log. Safety . . .watch the log doesn't spin over and bash your right hand. Better not to use any grip with your right hand, just light support so you can quickly let go should the log flip over. Also don't be distracted and look away while you have a log splitting.
