    FS70 look to be imo some shit overpriced home owner quality & the bad vibration & the stupidly tiny fuel tank would piss me off so puts it off any shortlist. Best 30c class machine looks to be maybe the Echo SRM-3021TES.

    Tempted with this little strimmer anyone know anything about them ? Pardon our interruption... WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Vibes not to crazy and its light & the husky 545rxt im using atm is is OTT for certain tasks... I have a battery makita strimmer as well but it only does 15mins max on 2 5ah 18v batteries.
  3. Im abit annoyed atm with new-ish husky 545rxt as its being a pig to start versus the stihls ive used. Thought i had its starting quirks dialed with a few pulls then the next time the bugger wont go without alot of pulls on occasion. Seems the line between either not enough priming and flooding is razor fine maybe i got a dodgy one.....
  4. Locally seen some advertised for £195 a cube ash £120 for softwood kiln dried
  5. I have the 18v makita short its better than the cheaper 36v stihl offerering I reckon but i haven't tried the top stihl models. Motor is 520w probably why its better? DUH601 - Hedge Trimmer LXT® WWW.MAKITAUK.COM Product Which long makita do you have there are 2 versions fixed blade with a loop handle or folding without...? Fixed appeals to me more i think but unsure about ergonmics with having a loop handle as hate them on strimmers
  6. Have to disagree as rent is higher as % of most people incomes than its ever being - in recent history in the say last 100yrs most likely? Might be ok in other countries to rent as they have very cheap housing esp in France or Italy etc so not really comparable at all.. Denmark has goverment rent control also? Couldn't find a rent graph with a few mins googling, but house prices mirror rents Doing withot sky TV isn't gonna help much, its just hardluck versus the situation before 2000 as others have said already
  7. Didn't big J have one of theese? 2009 Valtra N92 for sale in Co. Down for £23,500 on DoneDeal WWW.DONEDEAL.CO.UK 2009 Valtra N92 with sprung cab, quicke self levelling loader, electric joystick loader controls overall good condition phone...
  8. Dawgs pissing/shit etc makes any ground really fertile
  9. I like the look of the basic flat bed ones they seems more versatile Used to use a honda one yrs ago for dry stone walling but they are near £5000 now There are various cheaper italian made ones but since brexit they stopped shipping stuff. Tracked and Wheeled Power Barrows - Offers AgriEuro 2024 WWW.AGRIEURO.CO.UK Prompt Delivery & Best Price on Tracked and Wheeled Power Barrows. Power barrows with 100 to 600 Kg loading capacity...

  14. Local place is £195 a month for a 20ft container. Latest local craze is dog exercise paddocks.
  15. Korean fir not pine Hard to say from one pic what the issue may be. Might be some fungal disease id trim off affected growth https://cdn.forestresearch.gov.uk/2022/02/fr_pathnote17_sirococcus.pdf
  16. A property I work at sometimes has a stink pipe in the front garden. Stink pipes - Designing Buildings WWW.DESIGNINGBUILDINGS.CO.UK Stink pipes - Designing Buildings - Share your construction industry knowledge. Stink pipes such as this one at... Some days it can really stink..... normally its not so bad - more like if you stood in some dog shite lvl of smell...
  17. After all the ash is gone there won't be many big trees of any kind left in the hedgerows. As im guessing about 80% of the large roadside/ field hedgrows trees are ash. Before DED the most common boundary tree was probably elm....& ash second.
  18. Thats alot of canker on such young trees esp bramley as normally thay are fairly hardy against it. All the canker needs prunning off but now is not the best time to be creating so many new wounds over winter....should of being done in summer. If that doesn't work maybe a new apple tree or consider a tree of of another species Also soil drainage is important apple trees really dislike winter waterlogging of soil. .If the soil isn't right, there is alot higher chance the canker will to reoccur even if you got a new apple trees esp if planting in the same location https://www.rhs.org.uk/disease/bacterial-canker
  19. I find certain less sensible dogs loose on the work site stressful. Machinary driving about and trees felling and some guys dawg running about nearby etc... no always a good combination I know many are actually very sensible and ok & have more sense than some humans. But some owners who think there dog are fine as they have being doing that for yrs when im thinking that dogs gonna cop it any minute..... Local farmer ran over & killed his own sheep dog on a quad.....im sure its pretty common......
  20. The last train was good
  21. I like my makita 18v - though 2cm is abit much 15mm is more realistic DUH601Z They also have a new 40v range now.

  23. Mature trees less affected as lammas growth that gets it and they have less % of it versus seedlings. Its seedlings and coppice that get it worse i think. Alot of in depth info here: European oak powdery mildew: impact on trees, effects of environmental factors, and potential effects of climate change | Annals of Forest Science | Full Text ANNFORSCI.BIOMEDCENTRAL.COM • Context Powdery mildew is one of the most common diseases of oaks in Europe. After alarming reports in the beginning of... Don't think theres any easy fixes esp with climate change probably making it worse. I wouldn't blame the nursery as its being knocking about for over 100yrs. Though theese things evolve new more virulent strains that nuseries general and international trade etc may help spread about faster than previously.....if trees were all sourced local...
  24. Alot of pots/compost etc are full of gravel will wreck blades fast?
  25. Im guessing about 2.5- 3 days but I normally get it wrong on estimating how long something takes.
