    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.

    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

    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.

    Jokes???

    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.
  9. GarethM
    Noo, it's down and hill over a cliff whilst burning. But it has to to done on video whilst extolling the virtues of Greenmech and Jase might give you a discount!.

    Sounds like it's getting fuel, maybe not enough but I'd also ask if your letting the glow plugs heat up and turn off first. Even on the 3 pot Kubota they like a little heat to help them start especially when cold.

    Does it turn and feel like it's ratcheting, probably a failed bearing either at the drive side or the end of the drive motor.

    I've never thought of PG Tips being the taste of capitalism 🙄.

    Don't know about that, I guess that's more for anything fitted with a tacho ?. It's why I was asking if the weight was necessary, as you could even include ford connect style things as they're more like cars than thirsty wallowing pickup's. @Rob D didn't really say why other than wanting commercial for tax purposes.
  15. GarethM
    Aren't land rovers minus the rear seats. Obviously the pickup is available as a 5 seat, but is the Corsavan still available as commercial?. Yes I know it's well under 2ton, but probably better unless you want to tow?.

    Do you mean a MS211. Chrome is just a coating and doubtful anyone does that to a chain as you sharpen it making it pointless in the first place. IE, chrome plate it and as it wears the chrome off and turns into swarf and a whole world of pain. Or was it the Duro Carbide version ?. 16" 63PMC3-55 Vs 63PDC3-55

    Regardless of the sale price, the builders & banks want a profit. For the sake of argument a 200k house is probably 50k for the builder. The bank at 6% isn't realistically earning much for the risk of 200k and any legal aspects if you default. Hopefully the hike will cut down on the empty flats in city centres and force them to turn these chic apartments into small flats.

    Duh, only when you run them backwards!. Plus I thought you knew they run them at night to rewind the earths clock mechanism, sushi that's some secret squirrel stuff!

    I would assume that's pretty accurate, I'd have to deep dive but when it shifts we get hot and dry instead of mostly moist. There is some correlation between that and the Atlantic conveyor, simply that's why eels go from our east coast to the Sargasso sea to feed.
  20. GarethM
    Bit simplistic but it's the Jetstream moving around. Partly why we have this current weather, everything is cyclical tho so it's not necessarily less wind just elsewhere.
  21. GarethM
    Blame those pesky wind turbines!.

    Unless you're in the depths of nowhere is it really worth buying a set when it's about £60 for a sweep ?. Plus they can check for damage with a camera.
  23. GarethM
    Go to an actual shop, don't buy online if you can avoid it. Everyone will have a bias but the shop, installer and sweep will have volume and experience on their side. Plus they're the ones you'll be moaning to if/when it needs maintenance.
  24. GarethM
    That's a breach of planning, not home insurance

    But can he sing the full score from HMS Pinafore?
