That looks good - I've seen Stiga mentioned a few times on arbtalk before.... are they good? I know little to nothing about mowers. cheers, steve
-
Haha! Very occasionally I may be known to cause queback misery to hundreds of people in a hurry to do more than 10mph uphill. :thumbup: cheers, steve
-
So that's why it worked when I did exactly that.... therefore it must be BS. hmmmm, okay mate, woteva innit. cheers, Steve

"Generally advised". cheers, steve

Here's a photo of the Honda 1211, as you can see, it's red:

Hi all, looking at getting a narrow ride on mower for mowing in between our raised beds. Is the Honda 1211 any good?.... or crud? .... anyone got one? Cheers, steve
-
I once towed a caravan and it started snaking going downhill.... accelerated hard and it settled down. Luckily it was a clear road, otherwise what can you do apart from driving as gentle as possible & clenching your butt cheeks? cheers, steve
-
Yeah, defo to the cabbed ones. I've also heard bad reports about the small JCB's but I've not used any myself. The Kubota KX41-3's are also supposed to be very good/ on a par with the TB016's.... but there don't seem to be so many of those around. cheers, steve
-
We've done loads with a Takeuchi TB016 ....excellent fuel economy, expanding tracks, loads of digging power. Only thing I would say is that if you need to lift heavy items, like a large haylage bale then it will lift it... but only just. We also fitted a towball to the dozer blade for attatching a single axle trailer/ that's very useful.... next on the list is for a hydraulic thumb to be fitted. cheers, steve

Heyup, you could try all of the suggestions at once and end up smelling like a cross between toilet cleaner and lavender infused honey. cheers, Steve p.s.... they've bitten me loads today. bah humming bugs!
-
I've been bit by a few of those today as well - ruddy things. Normally spread a bit of Anthisan on, seems to work well for a wide range of insecty bites. Cheers, Steve

Fresh chippings tend to pull lots of nitrogen out of the soil so the plants may suffer if you were to use that on beds. A friend uses lots if this stuff, it's called strulch: https://www.strulch.co.uk We've not used it yet but I may buy a few bags to try around our strawberries. cheers, steve p.s.... best to pull the weeds before mulching on top.

I dint know horses could fly. cheers, steve

You could do a TER check.... https://www.ter-europe.org I've used this once before and the thing I was buying had £thousands in finance owed on it. cheers, steve

Looks great & strong i particularly like the doubled up roof joists & the simple way you've notched the top of the roundwood poles. What species of wood did you use for the roundwood posts & cladding? As a guess I'll say, hmmm.... oak for the roundwood poles & Larch for the cladding. Am i right?? or cheers, steve
-
Yeah, there's a fair amount of metal inside rubber tracks. If you're worried about it you could turn in bigger circles when tracking on hard surfaces. cheers, steve
-
oh no!.... I always wanted one if those RipSaws too. :thumbdown: Rob, do you know how to weld?... can't be that difficult to make a RipSaw, surely! I like using the wider lifting tongs as they don't tend to slip and due to the length (from handle to *tongy grippy bit) you don't need to bend down so far. *tongy = the pointy sharp bit of a lifting tong. cheers, Steve p.s.... I also noted the shopping basket empties itself.
-
hmmm, okay.... why aren't you selling lifting tongs, high-lift wedges and sole importer of the RipSaw? And, hmmm.... can't think of any problems I've found with the website. Would be good to know of any new devices/ inventions you start to sell, maybe have a link on the website for that, or send a dedicated email out?.... or pop a thread on Arbtalk. cheers, Steve

Just skim read that and didn't understand much of it. It's like they have their own language designed to confuse ordinary folk. Cheers, steve

SteveA replied to OREGON®'s topic in General chat
Cool, thanks for the heads up on this. Just registered. I can categorically say that Oregon chain is infinitely better than Piranha chain! cheers, Steve -
Oh that bit. The Florabest has a hole in the strimmer head for putting an Allen key in.... that stops the head from spinning so the nut can be undone. Is that what you mean? cheers, steve
-
The head came with a small metal bar to help with undoing it.... hasnt yours got that? cheers, steve
-
The Portek Power Strim Pro head arrived yesterday.... first impressions are that it's very simple and has a good weight to it. They make a plastic head version too but this 'pro' aluminium version looks like it'll stand up to more abuse. I've not used it yet though.... cheers, Steve

There is nowt to compare the strength of a well-worked groundies neck muscle. cheers, steve

Haha! I've missed your carvings on here Ian. Good to see a new one. Made me smile (as usual). That wizard reminds me of my late grans jelly mould. cheers, steve
