  1. Is that how you get trade show discounts?
  2. Heavy duty flail would reduce it to mulch. If it's heavy gorse, probably best look looking for a front mounted to minimise any chance of punctures.
  3. What's the point of adding to the low cost of manufacturing by having a button. It's a feature that's been included in the electronics for atleast the last 10-15 years and costs then nothing really and can update the tunes if they wished.
  4. You'll need to know the exact markings there are two types on eBay by the same seller, might be worth a call. GENUINE TIMBERWOLF Chipper Spare - Old style Switch as per picture. EL2648 WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for GENUINE TIMBERWOLF Chipper Spare - Old... Failing that, take a picture of the current setup and be back of the switch. Usually marked 1-2 or 3-4, some may have both as a safety setup.
  5. Probably best just speaking with entec. If it's the one in the picture it's eao switch 44.211 Things like switches get discontinued quite regularly, so usually they would have stocked up before they got hard to source. Failing that you'll have to replace the whole mechanism and switch
  6. Victorious retreat, I'm sure Stalin had a different policy when it was Stalingrad. I'm sure they had a policy of shall we say on a politically correct fashion, go forward or immediately stop breathing!.
  7. Did you try it with the bar and no chain, just to make sure it's actually lining up with the oil hole on the bar ?
  8. True, bit like all forms of media. I just treat everything with a pinch/spade/26 ton dump truck of salt.
  9. I wouldn't believe anything on twitter, I hardly think anyone actually at the pointy end so to speak is tweeting!.
  10. That does say modified since wave instead of pure sine wave. Being RS you should be able to send it back if it doesn't work tho. The cheapest pure sine wave version is £100 https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/power-inverters/1793325
  11. I got the sarcasm 🙂
  12. I'll admit to being a lanky weakling if that helps boost my chainsaw swinging cred?
  13. I do a lot of firewood processing, couple of hours at a time ringing logs on the pile. Anything down the fields usually means the 251, not because it's light but just fits in the cab of the tractor whilst still being able to use the pedals.
  14. They do get harder to turn I guess
  15. 251 isn't bad on an 18", but I tend to use mine with the tractor chipper and just fits in the cab. Light enough for long amounts of snedding and felling before the chipper, gutless for anything too intensive. 261 fine on an 18" on the woodpile, but would hate to lug it further than the pile as it's bloody heavy. What about the 271 ?.
  16. Then they'll be shouting about how he drives around in 100k+ worth of equipment. That's the reality of needing such equipment, you have hours to harvest and bigger gets it done quickly, as with big acres can't be sat waiting for a contractor to do all the other jobs on the list first. It's not huge profits, but large sums of money moving like a tide for a modest profit.
  17. Don't you know thats how all roundabouts start life before they round off the corners!
  18. All the details are on the husqvarna website. Qc80f charger for cigarette lighter or the VI600F inverter for your mains one
  19. Innovation and vertical horticulture are you actually serious!.
  20. Nope as the saying goes. "Farmers buy retail and sell wholesale". We both know the argument about producing food abroad, it's the BS co2 argument. All because you don't produce it they feel all warm and fuzzy, whilst we still have grass that needs to be eaten.
  21. They do smaller tho and atleast you can buy direct.
  22. Well they won't stop growing food, they will however be forced to do one of two things. 1. Increase prices to pay for the fertiliser. 2. Increase prices but sacrifice yields, which would mean using more land to get the same amount of crop. It's almost as nonsensical as regenerative farming, it not regenerative it low input farming. Put simply you're just farming livestock on a larger amount of land.
  23. They'll be suggesting an honesty box for donations and every farmer standing at the gates asking for customer feedback like those charity chuggers
  24. What about the Bateson PT76 20x7ft tilting trailer.
  25. Same here regarding subsidies, including stewardship etc. Paperwork would be more hassle than it's worth when you also factor in the restrictions it forces you to abide by. I would factor the subsidies argument, if it was paid directly for maintenance of say the public footpaths, gates, hedgerows etc. Dyson is another if recipient, I'm sure he owns most of Lincolnshire.
