You can't beat dogs as companions

Got myself a contract doing internal drainage pumps tidy up once a month. Aebi Cc66 is perfect for the job ,topped it up with a FS461 to celebrate. Dogs are workers and my best mates too.

It's all soft stuff and it will have a month's growth or thereabouts. Do you use the four way head?
-
You're using 20" lengths? That must be quick
-
I have just got some of their diamond line ordered but willing to try others
-
I will give it a good try
-
I have the Autocut and have just ordered the oregon head and Stubbys diamond line . I will give them a decent test
-
Stubby. You haven't got the plastic cone on. Is this legal 'cause you might die?

Cheers older chap .

Glyphosate/mcpa mix murders nettles and you don't have to use a strong dose .

Some of the best stuff against thorns is Ventile.

What would be the best head for this machine and grass? I have 17 small water pump sites that are cut once a month. What is the most effective and efficient head for this job ? Regards
-
Has anyone tried mcpa mix with roundup ? It mullers most stuff and is much more effective than straight glyphosate on broad leaved stuff.

You're not stupid ,just forgetfull

Thank you for the offer . Loppers are a bit brutal in this application,the anvil crushes one side of the stem and bruises it so a saw is the best solution

It's an Italian clone I think "Schniko Red " I think it's called. They can get too red for the supermarkets,! It's still a risk though ,supermarkets may change their minds

What time is lunch? We're on docky,09.45 ,dinner,12.30 ,tea after 4 pm. I will be cutting all day and grafting once they are all prepped.😁

Battery life is only 40 minutes max. and charge time is fairly lengthy. Even with two batteries I am not sure that I will get many done in a day. What do you think? Thought about filming it as I have a action camera ,just need to sort the app out for it. Those trees are Gala and the owner is changing them to a very red gala . We did 10,000 two years ago and only a few thousand last year due to administration problems.

I work on a tree nursery. This is extra curricular activity for me. But I will try to do something. I was at the orchard this morning cutting graft wood under moonlight at 5.20

Cheers for that.

I have around 6,000 apple trees to graft every year for five or so years. I have also been given the task of preparing them which involves lopping the top off flat . They are only as thick as your arm . I would like recommendations for a light buy fiesty saw that would make the job quick and more enjoyable.

A few years ago I made my own kiln in a refrigerated lorry body. It was fibreglass and I stuck a 28 kw workshop stove in there. Burned sawdust or wood. It wasn't the best installation but it did work. I cut the roof lights out so it could vent and small house fans blowing under the bulk bins . I bought a diesel space heater later on with a thermostat so it cut in at 50 °c. This worked well but I will change it around next time , mainly for logistics. Feeding the stove was a pain so was loading , had no forklift but the idea worked. Ideally two stoves outside in their own insulated room blowing hot air into the kiln.

Pretty much. I know the work related injuries/pains that I have and I know that you have worse! And you're an old fart
