  1. Im not sure why but since covid and brexit etc getting hold of rdm everything is like looking for rocking horse shit.
  2. lecky blanket
  3. Quince maybe
  4. 15" Pro-Lite Cut Guide Bar fits Oregon 95 Series Chainsaws, Genuine Oregon Part, OEM No. 150MPBK095 WWW.LSENGINEERS.CO.UK 15 Isn't this one the same? Oregon 150TXLBK095 SpeedCut Chainsaw Chain Guide Bar 15" 0.325" 0.050" new WWW.EBAY.CO.UK GENUINE OREGON SPEEDCUT GUIDE BAR. To be used with Oregon SpeedCut™ Chain - 95TXL (Pitch 0.325", Gauge... or this OREGON 15in ADVANCECUT ML Bar 0.325in 1.3mm K095 Mount 150MLBK095 FPANDG.COM Features & Benefits Slim symmetrical contour is light in weight, maneuverable, and reversible for long life. Small-radius nose... Unsure the differences betwwen the 3?
  5. Felling axe? Is this about climbers knives?
  6. Depends just look at the wood and use your own judgement imo as some might be fine,. I think its not the hard to see...how far gone it is etc. I felled some ash with it recently with about 50% of the canopy lost. The rot/stain was only in 1/4 of the trunks cross section of the rings on some trees, on some others less. Saving some of the wood to make tool handles. Ash might be virtually unavailable in future due to adh so nice to save some for projects.
  7. Bahco do one: BAHCO ATP-230-410 - 32 mm Top Pruner on Telescopic Pole - Red Box Tools WWW.REDBOXTOOLS.COM 32 mm Top Pruner on Telescopic Pole Think it will be decent if there loppers are anything to go by.... Im using the ARS one for alot of stuff I used to use the wolf for so much less faff like you metion but limited max diameter and less reach.
  8. ARS japanese stuff is very good quality I have a shorter version of this: ARS Telescopic Pruner - Niwaki WWW.NIWAKI.COM Telescopic secateurs for getting at those out-of-reach branches. Light weight aluminium arm easily adjusts from 6'... But for thicker stuff - loppers diameter etc- I use the wolf garten string pulley pole one ... Also a tripod ladder to use the pole pruner from if you don't already have...
  9. Never understood the sense of charging £300 or whatever for the BS booklets etc. Hardly encourges best practice?
  10. Any info on the new cordless X series DCS-3500 v the DCS-1600 you mention above
  11. ms180 is very gutless even with a 13" bar esp is crosscutting any larger logs. If hes only going to be using it for cutting up firewood logs at home with mains nearby a 2kw corded saw would be a better buy.
  12. Makita EA4300F38C 43cc Petrol Chainsaw (38cm) WWW.FASTFIX.CO.UK The Makita EA4300F38C chainsaw features a 43cc 2-stroke engine that provides 3hp and is ideal for landscapers and... £100 over but worth the extra.
  13. Thought you could just divide the cordwoods delivery load total weight by how many cages you have filled when its all processed.
  14. Any decent new biodegradable mulch mats/ tree spats yet? I see they sell jute ones but they are expensive. Farmers getting nothing atm for wool always think felt mats would be good? Mattock is good for small bare root whips.
  15. What is the weight in each cage approx?
  16. Stere

  17. Nature is dynamic always changing Thats a mistake alot consevationist practice makes imo always trying to artificially hold landscapes in stasis.
  18. Does alot mean 10 or 1000?
  19. You can set then to do that but its optional There is even a a choice of several different beepy "tunes" 🙂 Never noticed the fan being that particularly noisy but not compared then other chargers etc.
  20. Not heard anything about there batteries tech being behind/worse got any info on that? Theres is a digital display diagnostic gizmo availabe to test them not sure why it has to £250 quid expensive...... Seem easy to use from watching a youtube video Something dealers should have (or maybe they do have) for the expensive stihl & husky batteries?
  21. Agree with alot of stuff above but..... I don't think thats so much the case with makita as once you buy into there battery range you only will bin individial "bare tools" if they break and can't be repaired or the repair is too pricey to be worth it..... Makita 18v 5 amp batteries are only £65 (were £50) . . Off brand ones cheaper. Are cordless generally any harder to fix than petrol? Why should the parts be more expensive than petrol if the retail price is similar? When ther bearing went on the makita cordless trimmer there was a full parts list available from online sellers and it was a cheap fix a standard sized bearing. Granted some other of the brushless motor parts listed were alot more pricey..... Parts are always often way over priced V new for both petrol and cordless, better buy 2 or multiple of everything strip the parts or get the non runners off ebay etc for any spares. 😏 All thoose binned ones should be kept & harvested for parts like scrapped cars rather than just binned. If there is an increase the enviro issue of a throw away culture, its mainly the companies policy and dealers networks responsibility as they should have schemes to encourage the reuse of "reconditioned" parts from the old machines & all new product designed with ease of servicing in mind.... ?
  22. I put several tonnes of fresh woodchip and alot of grass mowings mixed in mulching over 6inch at the base of raspberries in a approx 10m2 plot it has all completely dissapeared into the soil after 1-2 years.
  23. UK has the 40v makita chainsaws etc in now... Toppers 1.4kw and rear handle 1.6kw
  24. What is that tarmac yard going to be looks like a carpark?
  25. BPS is supposedly being scrapped for some new enviro sub scheme ELMS. Maybe tate & lyle won't get 600 million a year in future? United Kingdom | FarmSubsidy.org FARMSUBSIDY.ORG FarmSubsidy shows who gets subsidies under the European Common Agricultural Policy
