  1. What do you consider a medium sized tractor, as a flail of any size is around 15hp per foot preferably more if the ground isn't a bowling green.
  2. From memory you have to stamp the metal data plate, a sticker is removable. Maybe get a spare data plate/duplicate for when or if you sell it.
  3. And drainage/opening up the tree lines. Soft rush and mares tail is a big indicator of it being waterlogged.
  4. I wonder whatever happened to Remploy. Okay they were disabled but similar principle of taking unemployed people and giving them training, purpose and a way of earning a wage. Granted, all these hotel room visitors could earn their citizenship in some weird totalitarian style sweatshop/foreign legion style arrangement. Passport and a British sounding name after 5 years servitude.
  5. Shall we say I terminate with extreme prejudice. Whilst it's still early in the breeding year, only seen and shot half a dozen, so maybe that's why I have lots of wildlife as I've spent decades hitting them hard 100s per year and leave them for the birds of prey. That's why I would be interested in Cumbria, parts of Scotland, Anglesey and isle of white. All areas with reds squirrels and locals that keep the greys out.
  6. Funny that 🙂. How about also doing that survey in say the wilds of Scotland or cumbria where there's no grey squirrel and comparing data. As I have a working theory they're also part of the problem eating birds eggs and such.
  7. I wonder if the moaning about trump will reduce once car crash Carney unleashes more WEF bs upon the world. They can all have a little midsummers swingers party without Donald, but maybe invite Jacinta just to bolster the numbers.
  8. I'm aware of the description and that's why I used it as you always seem to believe that you are in some way morally or educationally superior. Fortunately I'm able to pick and choose which idiots I hang around.
  9. Not when you're average care weighs more every year and just gets fat. And what your oldest car you've driven, pre 2000/90/80s?. With every upgrade giving worse mpg, Corsa b 850kg, now f at 1100kg. 90s was about the time car companies really embraced computer modelling more due to falling costs of computing and EU emissions euro 1 far example forced them to stop making boxes and went curvy.
  10. No I need taking off a very old naughty step, I didn't start this particular game today. Someone else must be very bored or heat stroked grasping at headlines, as every hgv I've had deliveries from looked like a bug plague pit.
  11. @Anno if you want to be a prig be my guest. Do your survey using any HGV and those shock horror statistics will never be the same. It's called aerodynamics and a hgv is as aerodynamic as a house brick, like those cars you drove back in your back in my day golden era or current defender and it'll look like a killing field. It's also why dirty cars don't self clean whilst driving on the motorway, the angles of the design create a boundary layer. So you're still murdering bugs, just using air to crush them for the next bird meal.
  12. Did you change any filters, as it might have stirred up crud on what I'm assuming is a 20+ year old chipper. Was there a screen filter in the tank?.
  13. With any tractor it's usually the better the devil you know and you also know how well it's been looked after. As has been said, by the time you've split the tractor and replaced whatever is needed, it'll need a jet washing and paint. Once it's running you can then decide to keep or flip it, personally used equipment once repaired is best kept until it's fit for the scrap.
  14. He can buy it domestically without the tariff, you're just digging a deeper hole of TDS. He knew there's a tariff, everyone new there was a tariff. Shipping isn't going to be 2200 dollars, ergo he's the fool and your just scrabbling around in the dirt trying to make another I hate trumpety trump stomping around the supermarket like a toddler.
  15. So if you're assuming he knew the costs, that makes him the .... A hole. When he knew full well it could be bought elsewhere without the tariff no doubt cheaper, wouldn't that be your flimsy argument?.
  16. You obviously don't do any importing do you!. I do and everything requires paperwork, lots and lots of lovely paperwork which spells out everything. Including tariff/tarric codes and also the requirements to have their equivalent of an EORI number.
  17. I'm sure you can alternate it between that and the I shot jr t-shirt or go for a combo ?.
  18. Sounds like someone needs to suck it up buttercup?. I read it and either thought its a fake or the blokes a complete Muppet as it even says the cost would be more further away, well not 2,200 in transport. I import things pretty regularly and know the cost to within a few percent depending on currency.
  19. And of course sh1t poster, reposts a person called Judy Camel. I'm sure miss Toe was mercilessly bullied as a child!.
  20. The last sentence, he's a commercial dive supervisor.
  21. New battery but fit an isolator or take a terminal off, old leylands always seem to have earth leakage even with almost non existent wiring resulting in dead batteries. Looks smaller than a 262. Just jump start it off the car, in the old days I even started an old Leyland with ride on lawnmower left running for 5 minutes.
  22. Says the man no doubt hoovering it up like a Dyson on steroids.
  23. I know you're a little cranky after the long weekend of protesting, but calm down and take a long breath. It's called sarcasm, some would even call it comedic. I know it's so sterile listening to comedy today so you probably don't have a reference point anymore, I've had splinters more fun than half the "modern" comedians.
  24. I said truss over Starmer, didn't mention social media.
  25. I'd take her over two tier any day if the week.
