  1. You run out of drink in your house or something? Most. Boring. Saturday. Night. Thread. Ever!
  2. Ok thanks, looks like a labour saver, not certain it would work in a smaller garden, but in that situation looks like a winner.
  3. So the mulcher attachement flattens the chip piles to avoid carting away the excess?
  4. It's nearly 5 meters long, anyway I don't really want to get into bashing them, I've never had one and prolly never will. There's already a bit too much brand bashing on this thread from peeps who've never had the machines Good luck to them.
  5. Yanks make top big stuff, the stuff where they have to work within weight and size constraints is less appealing. I would not look past any of the bigger European boys TW, Forst, GM, Jensen et al for thé "smaller" gear Just my opinion.
  6. Morbark Beever? M8D Brush Chipper – Easy to Transport and Operate | Morbark, LLC Has the good old 1505 kubota engine, choice of turbo or not. Bit more like it!
  7. Boxer X7 Brush Chipper | Boxer® Equipment 25hp petrol engine. A rival to an st6 it ain't!
  8. Fwiw, (very little of course) I don't blame her for not participating in a televised debate. I think they've become a sideshow, distracting from the real issues. The participants just trying to score points or catch the others out. It's all part of the media age where the politicians are encouraged to act like contestants on Masterchef or The Voice, so we can find "a winner" Plus, as she says, she debates with Jeremy Corbyn every week at PMQs. The Tories are miles ahead in the polls so she's everything to lose and nothing to gain.
  9. I admire your thoroughness but I believe you're overthinking it. Do you really want to work for yourself? If the answer is yes then away you go...
  10. I think (and I'm on holiday ATM) that the ignition barrel is faulty, (as advised by TomD) Redwood have been very helpful and have sent me one to replace. We shorted the starter and it seemed to be cured, when I get back I'll fit the new one and know for sure.
  11. Ha! It's a puzzle fo' sho'. Surprised it hasn't lured more peeps in.
  12. Some of the other posters on this thread know their onions, I'd be surprised if they're not already on the case.
  13. I dunno, tbh, I'm expecting a learned Arbtalker to solve this mystery soon. Can you graft a cornus onto a sorbus?
  14. Could you post a pic of the growth joining with the tree at chest height and the one at the base of the tree? (I think that's what he means)
  15. I know many variegated maples will revert to all green in patches. This may be a similar thing but if I'm honest I don't know, someone on here will I'm sure.
  16. Are you CERTAIN it comes from the same tree? Not just a seedling snuck in near the base? If it is. Possibly a rarer spécimen sorbus grafted on to root stock, does the rogue piece come from near the base under a graft scar?
  17. Hi James, your bane is the spelling and grammar. It should be companies not company's and their climbers, not there climbers. There's loads more, but you get the idea. Not being picky but nearly all the websites I look at on this thread have really basic errors. Doesn't anyone proof read them? Sorry to be an arse, but you did ask.
  18. The 131, heard a few people naysaying but I love it.
  19. I've just bought the 4mix stihl, very impressed, powerful, good starter, ticks over nicely, which the older 2 stroke never did.
