  1. Speak to the installer, you've paid your money so make use of their experience.
  2. Think 120 might be a bit small, my 90 bogs down on a tp150 at times and that's all handball feeding not via a crane. I'm not saying all my horses are still under the hood at close to 10k hours but most of them must be still in the corral. The heizo use a gearbox arrangement tho, the farmi will be direct drive like the TP.
  3. Is it for biomass, as you'll need one with a screen, what used to be G30 or 50. But I think they might have reset the sizes. The heizo ones are well known as well.
  4. I'd probably guess around 130-150 an hour as you'll have to factor in repairs and maintenance of tractor and chipper. Do you have the tractor already tho as a chipper is going to be around 50k probably even for a used and abused one. Not sure what fuelwood has in at the moment.
  5. Are you running red or white, as I'm guessing you're needing 35-50 litres per hour?
  6. And the police wonder why we have zero confidence in their ability to find or identify stolen stuff. It's not exactly CID levels of common sense for a local officer to ring a local Stihl dealer and ask if there is a register.
  7. I'll let you Google "Stephen Barry MASON". As a retail "47782 - Retail sale by opticians", the short sighted headlines almost write themselves.
  8. Maybe we can make a TV advert, bringing a sht show to a town near youuuuu. I'd love to tin foil hat, but I've ran out and resorting to waxed paper. But I think they can hear my thoughts, or I'm not using my inside voice as it's not written on my end of the world is neigh sandwich board.
  9. Bow saw is the greenest option I would presume.
  10. Without casting a shadow on the more lesser known brands, think of it like a tier system with the metal castings being the most expensive part of the process. As they improve they sell off the older designs to the competitors. Granted a lot of the cheap chinesium are just a different badge on the eBay specials.
  11. Well you were asking a year ago about the same brand and mysteriously again, so yes it's relevant. For £180, why not be the guinea pig.
  12. Begs the question, what have you been using for the last 12 months!.
  13. It was a long while ago I'll admit, six years atleast, it's an ancient 1960s model. But an oil fired aga is just like throwing your money out of a window as it does mean rebuilding the internals. If it's costing too much, get an oil boiler and keep the beasty as a feature.
  14. Try wood wasp if you're in the UK.
  15. HT 135 Petrol Pole Pruner - Powerful, professional telescopic pole pruner with lightweight magnesium gearbox WWW.STIHL.CO.UK HT 135 petrol pole pruner with telescopic shaft ✓ Sawing branches at a height of 5 m ✓ STIHL 4-MIX® engine... Details are in the cutting attachment section.
  16. Do you mean an Oil conversion?. It's probably cheaper just to keep burning anthracite coal, whilst it should preferably be coke. From memory our old Aga in the farmhouse used about a sack a week for all the cooking and hot water around £8-12 a week Vs from what I've read around 50 litres of oil a week.
  17. Thought the term was watermelons, green on the outside and red on the inside. I would be interested in knowing the global impact of not sorting out the Aral sea. Sod UK agriculture being the problem when a litteral inland ocean is gone.
  18. Look at the numbers - 70% of UK land in intensive agriculture, 56% species denudation. You don't have to be Sir John Curtice to run the numbers. Erm, wtf is that actually supposed to mean?. If it means that field of beans has zero other plants to steal it's nutrients, erm yes.
  19. If Kevin wants to argue a specific point that's fine, but we'll be here until the end of days if you're wanting to dissect every bs statement from Monbiot.
  20. Only really applies to open fireplaces
  21. I'd believe the farming forum over that load of farm manure.
  22. Are you supposed to slice that or mash it ?.
  23. Well half the stuff I hear he's written is mostly recycled provocative trash, maybe it's actually a fake picture with articles written by AI.
  24. Why is it always Monbiot always being the virtue signalling arse. He's like the older aged version of Owen Jones, hark the next tragedy whilst at the same time being completely two faced. Another prime example of why not to read the Guardian, leave the publication alone until they're homeless begging on Oxford Circus.
  25. It's tempting to say poacher turned gamekeeper, but no.
