  1. Pretty good , no on reflection ...excellent
  2. Yea splash lube is no good if you are at angles . Got to be a pressure fed system . Honda or otherwise .
  3. Surely even if you are successful with the plough you will still need to disk it or subsoil it or chain it to level it ?
  4. Dont know about like but they certainly respond to it ,. Bit like Holm Oak do .
  5. Very infectious days , Monday and Friday .
  6. Yes . You can only pass backwards . You can kick forward but you must be behind the kicker as he kicks it to be " on side " .

    Silly but is the throttle cable connected properly ?
  8. I havnt blamed other members of arbtalk and when things were going a bit bonkers I did not egg him on . I hung back a bit to see if it would die a natural death . As I said Jon made the derision himself . We are still in contact as are many other members .
  9. Charles ( South African ? ) Knows his stuff .
  10. I was felling dead elms around an arable field headland . Houses opposite . Woman comes out and says " what do you think you are doing " I say I know what I'm doing . She says why are you felling those trees ( she said chopping down actually ) I say they are dead . She says " they look perfectly healthy to me " I had to explain what ivy was .
  11. I think the most important thing is not how big a lump it can chip but how well it pulls all types of brash in . Just me perhaps .....
  12. His name is Dick Turpin by the way .
  13. Well done . I take the spark screen out of my saws from new and loose it somewhere
  14. You would honestly quote £200 for that ? Well to be fair if someone will pay it you deserve it !
  15. You better put it to Steve then if you feel that strongly about it . I will miss them though ............
  16. Shall we ask Steve to do away with the " lounge " and " off topic " facility then ?
  17. Quick and easy test ( that you could leave as permanent ) ....Blank it off .
  18. Yea I was basing that on it being family . Having said that it is still a £50 job on the way home type of thing . I would be embarrassed quoting £200 ....
  19. The three school boys being asked by the interviewer if they could identify a larch tree . Not got a link but its on you tube . ( Monty Python )
  20. Gob , back cut , put the whole thing through the chipper or keep the trunk for fire wood . Anyone could do that in , what 8 mins ? Add on a scratch up and a blow you could be gone in 15 min .
  21. Never heard him swear . Who do you class as his " so called mates " I for one did not want him to leave . We discussed it privately and it was his choice . He is a very friendly chap and I like him a lot .
  22. I understand were you are coming from BigJ . My Burley is rated at a nominal 5kw but punts out nearer 8kw once up to temp . If you slide the air control wide open is probably more than 8kw but no need to over drive it as it heats my small house fine .
