    The Lapwings were always the last to stay behind the Plough when it became Dusk . Also the little Pied wagtales would be under the frame of the plough picking away too and never seem to get run over . Ste

    Reason I mention Landfill sites is from my experience tipping on there and watching tv documentary's on them they seem to be easy picking for the seagulls and there ARE thousands. In Widnes they have just built a whopping high roof waste building for Warrington /Widnes bin wagons to quick tip and already its swamped by Gulls . Seagulls getting lazy ? Ste

    Where have they gone ? Over the last 5 years or more I gave noticed the decline in following the plough ,has a kid growing up on a farm I loved seeing and being part of this has soon has plough turn over its first furrow there would of been hundreds possibly thousands of Gulls in no time But now you can count on one hand in the northwest but I would love to hear what its like elsewhere. This may sound a strange post unless like myself you have experienced this a phenomenon then you will know what I am talking about . I have a few the theories in my mind .. The increase of landfill sites/re-cycling yards. The increase in Direct drilling onto stubble. Poor soil management ie no Muck getting put back in. Increase use of spraying . Landfill sites seems to be the culprit for me . What are your thoughts ? Ste

    Very true ,but that's my opinion based on mainly Hobart and has you say Tasmania probably is a beautiful country . Has I said no offence . Ste
  7. IVECOKID
    Tasmania is a strange place and no offence too them,I have relatives in Hobart and going by pictures they look like they are stuck in a Time warp and they all seem to smoke weed . Ste

The second saw a Dolmar 118si and it looked mint and it was mint when it arrived But warm it up and no power .£180 2strokes machines are better to go and pickup and try first . Ste

    It's amazing what joe public will buy and yet they moan over the size of logs they get in a bulk bag etc and yet they pay silly money for basically A LOG . GOD HELP my misses if she comes home with one ,grounds for divorce . ,Still a good seller though . Ste

    There is also the growing numbers of wood hunters these days too ,i have a friend who has a skip hire and he cannot keep up with filling bulk bags of wood from skips that he saws up and leaves them outside his yard for joe blogs to help themselves . Has he is not allowed to have any fires on his yard it makes sense and cheaper to get shut this way . This of course will have a effect on log sales and my local dealer has seen a big increase in Home owner saws ie MS170 for those who going hunting for wood. There is nowt wrong with the above to me/anyone has it makes sense with the prices that some log suppliers are charging . Ste

Has far oil prices dropping i hope the arse falls out of it for has WE WILL ALL BENEFIT . Ste

    Right ,while i have time on my hands over hols i have been looking into Fungi and the effects they have so while on my walk abouts with Fambo in the local park i spot this Fungi and fare way up the tree below fork on left and centre . My question is will this lead to the failure of the limbs or just superficial or take YEARS to fail . I have no idea when it comes to this subject. [ATTACH]173008[/ATTACH] ]

    That old sayin for me ...dont mess if it's not broken ,I have the balance of work just right at moment with grass cutting,trees and digger jobs. Happy has a pig in .... So carry on has normal . Ste

    From tip to toe its 51ft long so I Try and stick to main road if possible and its a regular visits to North Wales mainly ,have to plan route carefully being 8ft wide . Being a long wheelbase pickup it is very reassuring when towing . Ste
  22. IVECOKID
    If you want a pickup that is sure footed when towing 3.5 ton then the Yank route is a option but sacrifice MPG though . My Pickup does cater well for work and pleasure and only weighs 2.4 tons with a 8ft long bed/crew cab that can fit a micro digger on the back no problems and not feel the caravan behind which is 27ft long and 8ft wide. Tows my 2T digger around like its a toy . And yes i get strange looks too with this outfit [ATTACH]172912[/ATTACH] Ste
