  1. Just looked up the spec of the maks on the NZ site as that has the info;
  2. Echo does have extension poles for there combi petrol tool same a stihl and husky etc do Im not sure if they would fit the hegder units MTA-3EXT WWW.ECHO-TOOLS.CO.UK Add the optional 91cm MTA-3EXT extension pole to the PAS-2620ES Multi-tool for extra reach. Use with the optional...
  3. The management get very well payed (thet claim its needed to keep up with the private sector to attract the right talent) - they have alot of managers etc. Seems a case prehaps of - too many chiefs not enough indians. Alot of support staff are on near minimum wages.... Like all sectors the pay difference between the top and bottom has increased drastically
  4. Im happy with the 18v makita topper Ok its slow on any thing over 3" but still its very useful. The new 40v makita probably a big step up i bet but means a whole new battery platform.... Makita UC002GZ 40v Max XGT Top Handle Chainsaw Naked - PowerToolMate WWW.POWERTOOLMATE.CO.UK
  5. Pay "rises" thats are virtually non existent if you account for pay V Retail Price Index (RPI) inflation over the last few yrs? Exploring the earnings of NHS doctors in England WWW.NUFFIELDTRUST.ORG.UK In this explainer, we look at how doctors’ pay in England has changed over time, how it compares to other salaries in the...
  6. So either a 560xp or 562xp Dependent on the wood you are cutting, it would be a nice upgrade if you are cutting larger diameter stuff. Abit overlooked but the 555 is going cheap atm: £499. Husqvarna 555 18" Chainsaw | Chainsaws UK WWW.WGMLTD.CO.UK Superb Value - Check out Husqvarna 555 18" Chainsaw - Experience Excellent Service from Winchester Garden... Its the same as a 550xp just without rev boost i think... EDIT; meant the same as a 560xp not the 550XP....as the 555 is 60cc
  7. Its the end part of this Spartree - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG
  8. Is the site legit seems abit to cheap to be real? Chainsaw is £36! & a strimmer for £24
  9. Sometimes new posts are still very unseasoned so soft. If left in a shed for 6 months etc they season & harden up alot and are less prone to getting mashed up. A crate step up also helps you hit them direct from above so there less chance of damage
  10. The mexicans / latinos were there before the yanks in many states. In the top issues that people cared for inflation and food prices were often mentioned along side migrants. How would removing millions of migrants and trade tarifs effect both? Im not sure if either will actually happen though as Trump has promised?
  11. I think you'd like this throw line bag 🙂
  12. They just seem to work more effectively not sure why maybe its having larger volume of lighter metal also they dont seem to wreck the post tops as bad Over the yrs Ive used/tried all types the steels ones, alu ones, the giant rubber ones, the tubular post drivers with the handles. The alu maul is the best of the bunch imo. I prefer the lighter head weight they come in two weighs 6kg and 7kg Also a milk/beet crate to stand on makes it alot less effort unless you are 7ft tall for standard stock fence posts. As others have already said another key is doing the pilot holes right with a crowbar esp on hard ground as you can check for get past stones etc or make a an adjacent hole if there is a big rock or tree root.
  13. The best mauls are the alu ones Aluminium 6KG Fencing Maul | Kwazar WWW.KWAZAR.CO.UK 6kg aluminium head wooden handled fencing maul available at Kwazar.
  14. His hoovers are still rubbish though?
  15. Makita trimmer only cost £5 for new bearings as they were some generic sized Spherical roller bearings
  16. Terra preta soil in the amazon was basically the idea for it Seems that the science is very complex and the jury is still out on how effective biochar is for the UK to create dark earth from what ive read? Not saying it might not be useful but seems over hyped. Anyway i want a tigercat 6650 just coz it looks scifi https://www.tigercat.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/6050-Carbonator-1.0-1119-web.pdf Tracked mobile bonfire!
  17. IHT is one reason why owned family farms exist as it was factor in the break up the big estates after WW1 I think maybe in past all the clever loop holes for the very wealthly weren't tolerated as they are now though.....
  18. Are thoose wooden boxes for new trees? Even with extra care they don't live forever so least you can do you bit for the future by replacing them etc. Small group copse planting say a dozen trees with a circular fence that can be thinned later also works well as they normally establish alot faster than single trees and less fencing needed
  19. Both 3 and 2 tooth with turned down edges are good I use the oregon 2 tooth one. One thing to note is a bigger blade suits a more powerful machine and they come in different sizes. The smaller diamter thinner ones are less strain on a on a smaller strimmer, but your job sounds a job fo a decent 40c plus machine
  20. I got the pizza(gate) thing but whats the big deal with icecream I thought that was just a meme joke? 🙂
  21. Vehicle miles traveled tax - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Seem its being introduced already for trucks in various countries etc and in NZ for cars.
  22. Yes sounds like it i haven't got one but it got several long winded postive reviews online. [Review] Wurkkos FC11C – now with 519A and buck driver! BUDGETLIGHTFORUM.COM Wurkkos FC11 – one of the most recommended flashlights in the past four years. And now it got upgraded with a constant...
  23. Think the cheapo aliexpress ones are decent now Wurkkos FC11c £15
  24. There must be some issue with it as if its pressed to much and you either have to clean the plug or pull alot of times & the fuel will comes out through the exhaust and eventually clears Seems to work best if the purge is about 2/3 full. Somtimes it works ok other times it doesn't but is always is being hard to pull over. Anything simple to check?
