Could be worse, there is the dark side of the machinery world. Shudders at the thought of going Husqvarna!. Or they just go back to the 60s and bare metal power tools ?.
-
Me thinks you need to look after your gear a bit better, I've been using and abusing Stihl gear for the best part of 30 years and whilst you get chipped patches it's hardly the whole thing delaminating.
-
Could be form of powder coating, similar process to paint when your doing it on a Stihl scale of manufacturing. There was an episode on how it made/how do they do it years ago, making strimmers in the USA. It's not like they have to swap colours like in car production.
-
Aluminium needed to be acid etched to make it rough enough for the paint to bond. Magnesium and aluminium are oxidizing surface metals, but maybe the Stihl paint has it built into the formula?.
-
Have you checked to see if something is blocking the spring mechanism?. Absolutely love my TP, simple and about as complicated as a house brick.
-
If they're not going to deport them, they might as well cut out the smugglers and make 10k each. Maybe turn it into a 10k in, 5k out ?
-
Into the expensive conservatory or just the leased BMW ?. If your going to make a statement we might as well make it an example 🤔
-
Had a DNO guy the other week saying they now aim for 4m from power lines.
-
Trousers, chaps looks like a weekend warrior. Plus I'm not 100% sure but I don't think insurance likes that sort of stuff as it's easily or incorrectly worn.
-
I fitted some 36db X5P3E on an old Stihl lid, amazing sound reduction. Sometimes a little too much, when you can feel your heart beating when things are silent.
-
Glue goes between the joints not on the dusty ground. Blooming yoof of today!.

Ifor Williams Trailer Jockey Wheel bent Need advice on how to disassemble

Depending on the size as I can't tell the model of Knott hitch you have but £60 delivered. Genuine Knott Indespension 48mm Serrated Trailer Jockey Wheel With 205/50 Tyre WWW.EBAY.CO.UK [{PRODUCT_LISTING_TITLE}]. -
What has been changed to your knowledge. Providing the rpm doesn't drop, the hydraulic system is independent. So work your way through the simple things 🙂
-
Yellow should be 1 wire thermostat. Personally I'd go with fuel filters first, then more likely a weak hydraulic pump or motor as that things probably done more hours than triggers broom. Plus it's an old Kubota, they are pretty much bullet proof and will run almost till death.
-
I'm aware of the regs and do work within them even tho I don't get a penny, as I've actively bashed mine back 1ft a year to return them to actually being a sub 6ft hedge Vs a whispy litter catcher. Just highlighting the enforcement is more financially severe if your part of any environmental schemes, criminal enforcement would be actually harming a nest etc regardless.
-
Generally speaking farming wise, it's more enforced when you're in farm subsidies or other management schemes.
-
Damn it, if it was two stud I'd have it in a heartbeat.

Simple answer, big spinny cutty thing. -
Just put up a normal fence and grow a hedge, enjoy having daylight instead of blot of the landscape.
-
+1 spacers, unless you want to use solid metal instead of flimsy box section.

I did see a documentary about landfill where they had sealed them in the 80s, nothing has rotted. If it was all getting incinerated I'd say let them re open and burn the lot, salvage the metal and glass from the ash. It was a proper documentary, not Dave and his VHS camera.
-
Bit like cement, we've reduced the co2 to make it. Yeah by burning car tyres, which I'm not against for the record. Whilst at the same time you're wondering wtf weren't they doing that for decades as it's a fuel they actually get paid to take and use!.
-
Thought it was a European wide category thing?
-
I'd have to have a long look, but it's effectively down to contamination with other colour glass, as once mixed say brown and green can't be isolated or removed so gets crushed for road base. Plus i might have had the conversation with a guy from tarmac at some point about it too.
-
Think of it as a bigger scale, but national milk bottle scheme. You reduce the variety of types, they get washed and reused upto around 20x usually with deposit scheme, maybe even have the same brown colour for everything including milk ?. Most recycling, is just pointless virtue signalling segregation especially plastics, the more you realise it's window dressing and incineration seems the best solution at source than export. Maybe get Drax to take it after every recycling centre shreds it and makes it into pellets, I'd rather it was burnt here than some landfill in china or wherever.
