Been on the lock jack for a long time drt. Would like some thing that goes both ways, wife isn't interested.

Be interested to here your findings.

By Eck that sounds pretty serious. Got some cider in demijohns. Only two but its my first attempt.

Well I think people can vote with their pocket. Imo the Jensen was a better machine and had always been well regarded. The forst although similar was cheaper but came with the added bonus of more breakdowns, could I say a Citroen Vs a Mercedes, would that be a good comparison? Mind you I haven't used any recent Jensens.

Think I need to purchase a next generation of chipper.

Still running an 066 here. Thing comes out a few times a year, does the job, hard to justify the money on a new replacement. One thing that would be better is the filter, the 066 and the 461 air filter get clogged up with dust double quick. My 550xp never needs attention in that department.

Customer I know worked for local power network for donkeys years. Before he left he acquired a tray of 2stroke sachets, 1 shot type jobs. Anyhow one day, he gets the strimmer out, starts then dies. Same with the chainsaw and then the blower. Transpires it was hand sanitizer not 2 stroke 🙈

Depending how frequently it is being used i all ways recommend to my customers to purchase battery. Put it away, no carb problems. Press the button and off it goes. Not the sort of thing you are going to be logging 20inch and over stems with. Agreed with a comment about het the best you can afford. On the contrary I have a friend who buys the Hyundai saws, "so cheap, any problems bin it and purchase another!"

Ouch

I have bloody loads of the refugees on my farm. Could easily get a few with the air rifle if it took my fancy.

Well in the interest of my wife and children I won't be getting any another cockerel intentionally. My wife and her mum purchased 10 light Sussex unsexed, 8 cockerels. 'bluey' was the first to turn, followed by the rest. Took them all to a poultry place and got them back ready for the freezer. Had another beautiful one that was supposed to have been a hen purchased with another group. He was fine then snapped and turned. I was bent down collecting eggs and he nailed me, bit of a gash on me forehead. Then then the latest who is again in the freezer.

Usually parts of my car bumper i am picking out of a pheasant carcass

Don't you worry, one of them would go for me so I would give him a good boot, then collect the eggs, theses buggers would come back at you. The only solution I found was the crock pot.

We have around 40 hens in house on wheels, move it every couple of days. We have had several cockerels over the last few years, they allways start off really nice then end up turning aggressive towards my wife and children. Can not work out what is going on as others seem to keep civilised cocks

Think I'll stick to my big shot, if that can't reach the tree doesn't need climbing, just felling.
