Hopefully this is an April fools joke and not just bear baiting?.

Most tractor flails all say 50m, but as the roboflail is effectively the power unit. I would expect it to be on the attachment as they're available with a wide range of attachments.

Just buy a moisture meter, no maths required. -
I read the article a few weeks back, I'm sure it said the developer went bankrupt. If the estate was from 1973 and nothing new was built since, I thinks we can safely say there is probably a whole bucket full of applications the headteacher and friends have objected to.

I will say there has been a big push recently by these social media marketing types to make it into the next sliced bread again. I reminded a company boss I work closely with that you're not going to get to the end user with the advertising or multiple posts a day.

It's mostly for people looking for new jobs, or for corporate types showing off what the company does. Everything in between is more drum banging or useful for research.

It's almost the same with Christmas adverts, they seem to get even more dire every year. But hats off to Iceland, for saying we're not doing it and passing on the savings. Granted it's all smoke and mirrors but anyone that's sent me a black Friday email is high up my avoid where possible list.

So what's the collective term for lesbian loggers ?.

RCD keeps tripping once radiators cut in Wilo pump
GarethM replied to shelley's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Use the new connector on a short flex before deep diving elsewhere. If the pump runs and doesn't trip the ring main you need to check the original connection and controls etc. -
Log burner back boiler only heating radiators
GarethM replied to scoobysrt's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
As a fellow eco Angus owner you are correct. The third function uses the loading valve which below 65c remains closed. It's a thermal valve like a car radiator thermostat, so if it's hot and during a power cut it just works via gravity depending on the temperature and the 28mm or larger pipework. The second safety features the cooling loop only takes mains water through a separate isolated coil and dumps it's direct to drain, it's not taking any water from the heating system itself. -

Sadly no system like that relying on a pump is safe. Proper log boilers are built with heat storage and a mains cooling loop for that reason, in the even of the thing boiling it safely vents and cools down before it burns down without any electrical inputs. I should say I've had a baxi with a backboiler and learnt from experience that it's not the greatest idea. -
I'll take you're word for it, they seem to breeze over my normal stock fencing with ease and several feet clearance. I don't even fit barbwire anymore and just use plain wire, partly so I don't get barbwire in places and hopefully less damage in the long term.
-
What about chain link fencing, might look a bit HMP but possibly cheaper and less faffing about ?. Welded mesh prices have gone a bit daft over the last few years, especially as your going to need 7/8ft to keep the deer from getting over.
-
Possibly some variety of wood wasp. Logged up a few trees that were riddled with similar looking holes, i was never sure if it was a form of nesting where the parents burrow a hole for each pupae or some form of safety in numbers idea for the winter as I thought most wasps were somewhat solitary?.
-
I import quite regularly with my own EORI and know the score, but it's certainly something to keep in mind for anyone as VAT has to be paid somewhere and atleast the import duty is payed to the UK.
-
Wasps I think, maybe play back the video!.
-
And where is the Woodland mills machine coming from, Sweden ?. If it's an export from Sweden, you'll have to pay import duty at 20% plus paperwork say £50 and maybe even need a EORI.

GarethM replied to scoobysrt's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Without going into detail, it will never heat your whole house, upstairs only. That's the reality of a backboiler, I'd advise finding an old school plumber before you do anything but would suggest a hot water tank. Running a backboiler can cause corrosion due to temperature in the fireplace being too low or turning the whole system into a bomb. -
And people are actually prepared to pay that much?.
-
Without going into a whole discussion about hydraulic Vs gravity etc. Whilst I appreciate your dilemma with a small tractor, personally I see only a few solutions Vs buying a cheap bag of spanners that's made in china to a very low quality/price. 1. Bigger tractor and a used TP or similar that will probably last your lifetime and cost peanuts to repair. 2. Same tractor with a gravity TP, Timberwolf or Greenmech. 3. Used diesel road tow wood chipper. Option 3 is probably not a bad idea for you and easy to shift on if necessary.
-
Second that, TP are built like a train and very simple to fix

For all the new forum members looking for free firewood......
GarethM replied to scbk's topic in Firewood forum
Maybe as it becomes taller it becomes more fibrous and filled with water to allow it to sway undamaged in the wind ?. One would guess at a certain diameter it becomes more solid like a tree trunk and the ring structure contracts under the weight of the outer layers. Weight probably not the best word, tension as it grows like a balloon from the inside. -
I've not seen more than one, is it last night's beer goggles?
-
Personally tug it with a rope on the tractor or just make an undercut where the rope is. You want it dropping like a L shape onto the green, whilst using the standing trees as protection from it falling your way.
