  1. Lift would only be around 3 ft at max, even on a big tractor possibly 4.
  2. Can I put a bet down it'll be diesel that wins this discussion?, especially with the EFI discussions.
  3. Things like forks have to be rated, usual reasons of safety that's why they are a default for around 2.5ton. What's the loader currently fitted on the tractor used for ?. That's not a you need a bigger tractor reply, but a 2m bucket is about 200kg empty, so the 3 point option is actually a good idea.
  4. How's the 5G reception, they could put up one of those hidden tree phone masts 😉

    HS2 Over

    Could we reroute it to make it further away ?. But in all seriousness, I think with the amount that's been spent there might be a spike in offshore bank accounts.
  6. Think you know it needs a new or reconditioned control module. Sounds like something has goosed either a relay or something within the electronics with the surge, strange how it's not defaulting to a safe state of everything being off tho. Did you replace the direction valve, just wondering if you did and didn't wire it correctly then getting feedback ?.

    Does the Henrietta come with more attachments, other than the fetching pink colour and eyelashes?
  8. Nah, the journey there was bjork it's oh so quiet.

    Sure you don't want to go really old school and just buy a petrol Billy goat ?

    Henry are awful, reliable but just awful suction. Shop vac wise the Aldi specials are pretty decent but not really something I would use in the house, that's reserved for a 15 year old Dyson, the mains version not battery.
  11. Arb waste = chainsaw You might be able to use an auto splitter but consistency of size isn't really possible.
  12. I've always wondered who the hell bought coconuts at a supermarket!.
  13. Some expensive cutting boards soon to be in the gift shop
  14. Chainsaw must have weighed half his body weight, that and actually taking it and the gear!.
  15. Fuel tank might weigh more than a 750kg class chipper tho.
  16. I'll get my sarcasm sign in future. Gear oil won't be the same as it's got additives for a reason, EP90 at £9 a litre.
  17. Or £5.84 a litre from tool station, we'll be discussing replacing the bar with a sugihara bar next.
  18. I certainly wouldn't use gear oil, it's probably safer using used engine oil than gear oils, additive laden with anti foaming agents etc.
  19. Greenmech or mother gaia ?
  20. Whilst I get closed loop kinda stuff, dash cams, home CCTV etc. You're not going to do anything with it unless the law gets broken or you have an accident or break-in. Just seems like a daft distinction, rule for thee but not for me.
  21. Whilst at the same time cyclists can film car drivers legally and then the police take action!.
  22. That's exactly my point, I had this argument with the council and councillors many times as fly tippers used the council carparks as a dumping ground yet we couldn't just put a solar powered camera in the sign.
  23. And did anyone actually get done, not planning stuff as that's a whole different legal quagmire.
  24. Local councils are supposed to oversee it, the same councils that fail to even fine anyone for dog mess, littering and even fly tipping! Unless they're planning to farm it out with financial incentives, might be one way to get actual results. Granted I think half the article is a recycled wood burners are bad bs.
  25. It's also been known about within the boating community for decades. From memory, it's also illegal to sell non smokeless fuels such as coal in a smoke control area. Plus it's not called itinerant, it's continuous cruising.
