  1. I have alot of the 18v makita stuff topper chainsaw drills strimmer hegde trimmer etc but haven't got a blower yet (I use a husky petrol blower )as the battery blower runtimes & blowing power was low V the petrol handheld ones. Seem blowing is something that eats batteries faster than some other types of battery tools. This was the model id get if i do go makita though: Makita DUB362Z Review: Makita 18V X2 Battery-Powered Blower Review XBU02 - Pro Tool Reviews WWW.PROTOOLREVIEWS.COM The Makita XBU02 18V X2 Cordless Blower is the brand's flagship model among its battery-powered offerings. Check...
  2. Pretty sure its adb. As for what to do you could prune remove the dead bits back to live wood. It probably won't help the tree recover or even survive long run but u never know.... Trees nearby hopefully might be more resistant. I wouldn't worry about them getting infected by the little tree, as the spores are everywhere and they will still get it anyway, if they are gonna get it etc regardless...
  3. Backfil with 3/4 to dust /hardcore /stones rather than any concrete around the post holes French drains with plastic field drains in round the outside and over hang the roof.
  4. Active still made in italy design is very old now though but suppose to be solid saws:
  5. If theres mains lecky a 2000w corded saw would be faster than either the above.
  6. 1 shot bottles are very bad vfm....
  7. Atm using TORNADO CONTOUR AVENGER BREATHABLE PRECISION WORK GLOVES from ebay. Abrasion restant lvl 4 means they don't wear as instantly as some others
  8. Pink Lady® can only be grown under liecence so probably a diff variety. You could also get a dehydrator if you want to preserve them
  9. Chris forestry has a good range: Timber Movement WWW.CHRISFORESTRY.CO.UK Timber movement, from tractor tongs to hand tongs. Wood picks, sappies and cant hooks
  10. I just run them over with the mower. Any decent fallers can be saved for eating /cider etc but won't store well. For picking don't picK all at once just the ripe ones... To reach higher apples a jap tripod ladder. For storage I use old bread trays in a rat proof shed but you can get special apple racks. Temp has to be right for best storing need a cooler damper pantry ideally as modern houses are to warm and dry to store fruit.
  11. If you cut whole area down the just constantly mowed low the whole area like a lawn would that not work? Its a method that works well on other things that sucker. Not sure about bamboo though as its giant grass monocots V the others being dicots?
  12. Little fact sheet a uni made on "nutteries" some good info on grafting and polination squirrels etc etc http://www.calu.bangor.ac.uk/Technical leaflets/050402Cobnutsandwalnuts.pdf
  13. Maybe the tree was pushed over with jcb etc and was upright when gob was cut?
  14. Seen several similar rate my hinge " nul points" oddities by farmers some large adb hedgerow ones. Maybe the gob lower down isn't a felling gob but was an attempt to see/get at the wire that blunted the chain?
  15. Turkey produces loads of hazel nuts for export so think they might be decent? Maybe there are different cultivars etc? Hazelnut production in Turkey - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG
  16. Stere

    Echo CS-4310SX

    Makita ea4300 was cheaper but being discontinued
  17. Mirco tree? i'd change the wording on that bit incase they think you only prune bonsai trees?
  18. Being using this mannol scooter oil from ebay as was cheap and high spec ratings : API TC+ and JASO FD etc 7805 Scooter 2-Takt Premium API TC+ SCT.AUTODEVEL.COM No in stock anywhere atm but still have alot left.
  19. How about one of thoose BCS 2 wheel tractor if its just a few acres?
  20. What surprises me is when on some ocassions iv'e mentioned it and some people haven't noticed half the large ash trees are dead/dying down there road etc. Some people aren't very observant or don't pay much attention to the enviroment arounds them I guess....
  21. Yeah have jays atm going "om nom" on an large orchard in a garden setting thats right outside the front of a house but the owner doesn't go into the garden often to disturb them. Jays are very shy birds & always & fly away sqawking when you approach. Have had a plague of blackbirds on the currants & raspberries & home this year alot more than previous yrs.... So im unsure about the crital mass theory as they are totally stripping the lot bare (dozen large red currant bushes plus blackcurrants gooseberries and raspberries) - unless they are netted. Maybe the extra food source is just increasing the blackbird numbers unsure about how there populations & territories work etc? Originally they only used to eat the red currants and leave the other fruit. I think that they have maybe taught the next generations to start eating the other berry types they did not eat previously? Seems to be aprox 15- 20 blackbirds at once. Unlike jays they are brazenly "cheeky" and will carry on eating right in front of you.
  22. Anyone on here have a go with the prototype 4 stroke (or 4-mix?) dolmar 500v? http://www.chainsawcollectors.se/phpbb3/download/file.php?style=34&id=11713&t=1&sid=69c3dc43452058a8cf4d9588bbb514f7 Must be very rare?
  23. If advertised as free firewood on facebook. Bet someone with a B&Q special and a wheelbarrow would turn up and loop a few branches of it, with price of gas etc atm. 😏
  24. Selling eggs. EDIT would make more sense if front of house.....
