    Tractor loader with a modified muck grab is probably the easiest option without spending serious amounts of cash and easy to shift if it doesn't suit. All depends on your budget and how fancy you want it too look.

    Worse he can do is ask if they do a conversion kit. Just make sure a decent spark uprates the breakers to type D and fits a 32A blue socket as the 16A will get toasty. Extension cords should be 4mm.

    The USA use a split phase system, 240 distribution and a pole transformer to two 120 circuits. 5hp is 3.7kw, so must be 240v. 3700w is 30A on 120v, 3700w on 240 is 15.5A Just checked it's 240v single phase, (northernwoodsmen). Depending on energy price at 38p, that's around £1.41 an hour

    I did have a quick look over the manual, it does have a few electric things including safety stuff etc. Once you've sorted the knackered battery and providing it's putting enough charge back during normal use I would personally fit one of those red key battery isolators. You can't loose a charge if it's isolated.

    Is it running any electrical solenoids etc, not saying the battery isn't a Friday special but solenoids use a surprisingly large amount of current or maybe current leakage. Out of interest what's it on machine wise.
  6. GarethM
    Those on the posch are only available on the PTO model, which aren't fully electric, they're hydraulic with an electric controller.

    It's rated at 6kw, not the greatest efficiency. But I would have thought the retro fitted installation was the problem, minimal air flow will not naturally circulate to the room. To confirm my assumption, get a desktop fan and point it either under the stove or down the sides.

    Is that a Kubota OC-95, as the charging circuit only puts out 12v 48w, so 4A. I'm guessing it's just not enough to charge the battery after it's started, are there any electronics aswell?.
  9. GarethM
    If you're not moving around why not buy a cheap 3 phase generator, you can keep it away from the action and have modern comforts like heat, light etc. 6-15kva should do, 2-3 liters of red per hour at 82p and no petrol should pay for itself pretty quickly.

    Does it have a particularly weird funky wet dog smell, if you've cut it and it practically flows with water it's poplar or willow.
  11. GarethM
    Direct connection to the 12v battery, look at the leads on the winch, that's what's size is needed all the way or preferably larger. Booster packs are generally lithium and designed to give a huge punch and not slowly discharge. Trailer connections are very low power and will just burn out all the electrics, wires and probably the tractor. Rated wattage ÷ 12v = amps

    Don't think anyone has an adversion to bats, it's more the council's heaping on yet more surveys and cost before they'll even look at an application. Last bat survey cost around 1300 plus the 600 for the basic survey. Always written in such vague noncommittal terms even when they aren't living in the building. I would agree with having bat roosts built into one end gables and maybe bird nest boxes built into the brickwork at a so many per m providing it's say 3m above ground.

    Isn't "Red Rum" better, or at the very least chalk body outlines under the carpets ?.

    I thought rhododendron in anything other than a garden was usually treat with Extreme prejudice?. In part due to it being poisonous and kills or outcompetes practically anything growing under it.
  15. GarethM
    Exactly, I'm not against trees and hate these denuded urban housing estates but when you stack houses like sardines a tree isn't exactly a solution to make it greener. Even street trees were always intended to be removed periodically, which is somewhat nice visually and utter stupidity at the same time.
  16. GarethM
    So you want to incorporate trees with TPO's into residential developments or public space. Whilst at the same time needing to keep them far enough away from anything structural or permanent including fencing, patios and footpaths etc. Sounds like a cluster fk further down the line as you'll need what a exclusion zone of 15-20m and growing for something mature.
  17. GarethM
    Paperwork and taxation I would presume, and requires you have EORI numbers if it's buisness to buisness. Guessing it's southern Ireland and customs can be a bit arsey. That being said if it's going via royal mail they are pretty good.

    You could be cheeky and see if they'll honour the three year guarantee, they are known for being good at honouring it. I know it's your own fault, but I don't think they'll physically check it over providing it's clean.

    I was surprised he didn't start doing a liver king pitch and then eventually deny and finally admit to being on the steroids.

    Haha, I did try to find the YouTube link to the unedited AvE video. But it was like a needle in a haystack. Age and wisdom and all that, or just old. I'm airing towards the latter these days.

    What's the old phrase between the bull and the young stud. Let's run down the hill and have our way with a cow each, old bull no son. Let's walk down and have them all. (Edited for a young audience)

    Sadly that's probably the case, would be even more scary if it also includes dam structures all uninsured.
  23. GarethM
    They will already have some form of insurance company for the site already. Even if it's members only they would still have a policy for the 100&1 other things that could happen even if it was a walker using the footpath.

    One has to ask, are you making the CBD oil, using the smell of rotting woodchip and running chainsaws to hide the grow house ?.

    Even if we lived on a perpetually warm tropical island, they would be finding health problems to scare the masses with. Probably inhalation of coconut fibres, grass skirts, silicosis from the beach sand or some other nonsense.
