Looks similar to a TU16 Tirfor which uses a 11.5mm wire rope, however I not come across your brand before so can’t say if it’s the same. -
I drill a 8 or 10mm hole and put in a little glyphosate. I do this with gorse and rhoddy stumps. I put the GP in a fairly liquid bottle as it is nice and accurate getting it into the hole so to speak.

I use my big lump of a Charnwood 16B daily once the temp drops a bit (about 4 weeks ago) not sure if it is still made after the new crappy regs, good stove and made in the IOW.

I use the FS400, and it is good at clearing heavy mutant bramble, scrub and reed stuff but I think it wood struggle with 3” gorse stems, I would take my chainsaw to them. However I am not a professional at this so I will bow to the more knowledgeable members.

About an hour away, most of the time I just take a punt, gone through to view a couple of higher value items, on them however I have never won them anyway. Bought some things that have been a great buy but have also bought some items that have been knackered, and as they are sold as seen there is no come back unless the description is wrong. All part of the game. The staff through there are good, always been very helpful to me.

Yip not denying it, it was just a wee reminder as I have seen people paying more for a 2nd hand item than they can buy it new for by the time you add on the 38%. I buy quite a lot stuff from SK, it’s like Christmas for me when I go through to pick up my goodies.

Is it heavy on your neck if you are lent over sanding for a couple of hours?
-
Remember with SK auctions you need to add 38% onto your winning bid to cover vat and auction fees.

Edit sorry just saw you called them Hellerman in your post.
-
Were those sleeve stretching pliers not made by Hellerman, remember using them years ago on what we called Hellerman sleaving.

John, not trying to smart but could you not have just worn your prescription glasses under a normal welding helmet, why does a welding helmet with a prescription lens incorporated make it so much better? As I say genuine question.

Thanks for that Gareth, still struggling to head my head round the logic for a license even if it is free. Goes without saying re land owners permission.

Why is that Bob? When you don’t need it for the likes of rabbit? Just asking because I don’t know.
-
I thought they would encourage the trapping and killing of mink in a humane way of course as are they not regarded as an invasive species that decimate our native species? Perhaps I am just being naive.
-
Why did they take her traps?
-
Rhododendron, because the more I burn means that there is less growing. Plus it makes a nice fire wood, burns well and I usually don’t need to split it as the pieces I process for the wood stack are roughly in the 3 to 4 inch diameter range.

What's the best options for cutting your own logs?
roys replied to Dougie Stirling's topic in Firewood forum
Going to have to try an X21 been reading on here for years about them but never bought one to try, I keep on plugging away with my Roughneck one, probably do about 10 to 12 cube a year. My wife is always wanting to know what to get me for Christmas so guess it is the X21 this year. Back to the OP just to pick up on a couple of the points, @Rob D at chainsawbars always gives great service for new chains and bars, I split when green, just a couple of strokes with a flat file on the rakers at every sharpen. -
Up that way last week to walk up Ben Nevis, some people are just simple minded knobs leaving litter about the place, the place is beautiful why do they think it is ok to leave litter about the place including toilet paper........idiots. Apologies for the thread divert JDon

That’s repaired well Rich

Angle grinders, chainsaws and table saws must be up there with the biggest cause of hand injuries to the working man. See my avatar for my attempt at cutting my leg of with an angle grinder. My wife always gets on at me for picking up lots of minor injuries just little nicks, bumps and cuts but I ask her if she would want me sitting in the house all day watching tv, getting grumpy and getting fat, at that she tuts mumbles something that I can’t hear due to hearing damage and leaves me alone😀

For balancing I use the Oregon blade balancer costs about £6 from Amazon or eBay, it is basically a stepped cone on a small spike, simple and works well.

I think I asked you before but what transformer do you use, is it a microwave or neon sign one per chance?
-
Good offer but we are at the opposite end of the country. Think I have shown some of his work on here before, wait and I will have a look............ Yip this is a reject side table I took from him when he wasn’t looking😀 last year. Sorry for distracting on your thread.
