  1. Sorry but that's absolute bs. You can use the same oh it's not working for practically every piece of equipment I and every other business owner has. We have it because it does a job, be that once a year or every day. If I need something I buy it outright without finance.
  2. Oh so instead of one vehicle you want 2/3 yeah soooooooo great for the planet. The more you try to argue why, the less I actually respect your very poor foundations of an argument. Next you'll be telling me I should rent a tractor by the hour because I'm not spending 8 hours a day 365 in it. Have nothing and be happy, as Klas would say. It's just a F'in communism ideology
  3. I've got this amazing idea, why not lift the bonnet and put that generator in there. Efficient, streamline and improve the look, surely the green types would prefer the aesthetic and you can put eco stickers all over it ?
  4. Just needs to be next to a weight watchers meeting room 😉
  5. Maybe get yourself one of those garage waste oil heaters if you can get it for next to nothing.
  6. So with you're constant sh1t posting, did your offer get lost in the post ?
  7. Or just buy summer/thinner chain oil, probably cheaper and better all round.
  8. When do they ?, asking for a friend.
  9. No, it just proves he needs a refund on that privately gifted private education and years bent over in the library scouring law books.
  10. Didn't Starmer say 0.1% of men ?
  11. Do you buy Stihl spark plugs cos they're betterer?. I will admit the two stoke oil is better tho, swings and roundabouts and all that. Help, help I'm being repressed!.
  12. Shall we put is nicely, Stihl buy a more expensive oil add a load of additives to make it stable and more sticky. Oil manufacturers start with the same basic oil they supply to Stihl but probably less refined so cheaper and add the same additives which aren't a guarded secret. YMMV as they say, I make a 261 last about ten years doing 10-15 hours a week on the log pile so it can't all bad oil. Bring out the siege rabbit!.
  13. Yes, Stihl have spent lots on their oil to make it all green and pleasant, as a big company they do the whole corporate responsibility thing, a oil manufacturer is just that. Never had a oil problem with any brand but I do buy 20/25 litres If you want to admit to smelling of elderberries that's upto you.
  14. About 8 years using exclusively gator, cheap from eBay and average around 100 litres a year on the log pile.
  15. Erm most petroleum oils are from the same base oil, even your semi or fully synthetic stuff. They just add additives to make it do what they want or make it a more homogeneous oil hence the cst/w rates via filtering etc. Only real difference is hydraulic as that's full of nasty non microbial stuff and nasty. You're overthinking a disposable thing, a disposable thing for a specific reason. Next you'll be saying 5w oils make your engine run longer because it's engineered etc etc.
  16. Engineered to do what ?, you're still using the same amount not less. Engine oil I could understand if it lasts longer for example, chain oil is just a lubricant that flings. It's still mineral oil based, like tractor oils so whilst your not dumping gallons it will break down quickly and be a fertilizer.
  17. Either way whoever agreed the climb will be working in Asda afterwards.
  18. The fear porn is strong today!
  19. I'd keep that quiet around here, certain members would be advocating the death penalty for jay walking or not joining in with the have a nice day 😉
  20. So like every normal person, treat every country like your in Dubai and shock horror all is good. Amazing revelation Peds, next article wash your hands after the loo or look left and right before crossing the road?.
  21. Think they just enjoy having two figurehead socks to over spunk into. If it's not one/other or both on an almost daily or hourly regularity, everything is bad and everything is those two's fault. God forbid they actually sort things in the world out, they would still be wheeled out as some mock bogeymen.
  22. Well left wank sock is musk and the right is Donald
  23. Didn't say that, just saying the comfortable types are usually the loudest about being all warm and fuzzy to the world.
  24. It's not as irrelevant as you believe. I'll call it the po face Gary theory and it's not the layer cake more a alternative. Those comfortable types are always critical of harsh economic reality, usually in the 60k+ range and didn't get their hands dirty working 2/3 jobs in their yoof.
