  1. Still a bit damp by the looks of it? May be best just to run over it with the mower set on high?
  2. The gob and backcut does look to be in that direction🤔
  3. I’ve got poor eye site - I thought they were flares? Pleased to hear there was an initial plan🤔
  4. Don’t really see the point of this procedure? Just creating a problem. If the trees going that direction why not just remove pergola first. Far less effort and safer?
  5. He did convert to Christianity? They gave him £25 every time he turned up for bible lessons🤔, who wouldn’t if it helped hoodwink the Immigration morons and of course the Christian’s who thought they had converted him!
  6. Agreed. However there are some pleachers of a reasonable size with some length. Cut the bigger stuff off at ground level. Lay the live pleachers and import some filling material to thicken the hedge up and fill the gaps. Then there would be new growth from the pleachers and the stumps? The best option would of been to cut the lot off at ground level, plant the gaps up with some quick, stock proof fence both sides. Keep on top of the rabbit population and come back in 10- 15 years to lay properly. The problem is high cost?
  7. Special Arborist Services or even Shit and Sawdust ltd
  8. He says the play is on the clutch side so presume it’s the crank bearing behind the clutch. With a new 500i at £1300 plus it’s got to be worth fixing.
  9. This could be start of a quiz🤔
  10. Those Peltor ones are approx twice the price of Pfanner protos units and look the size of half a brick😳
  11. Ran transit tippers 20 years ago and they served me well. Then went Land Rover and trailers as client base changed. They’re definitely not as reliable as transits though😳. 10s of thousands of builders can’t be wrong and why do you think ikies run them - they want something that’s 100% reliable as a stealth truck and a get away vehicle 🤔.
  12. I admire your ballsy way of working. By 3 phase I presume you mean 11 or 33kv lines? Your local network must know you really well to give you the go ahead to clear trees that are “growing up through the power lines”. Expect them to come back to you to take on a lot more because you’ll save them a fortune from having to do shutdowns?
  13. What year is it? If it’s a later one shouldn’t the end of the Spline Drive Bottom Roller you’ve pictured there finish flush with the outside of the roller box? This then allows the motor splined shaft go all the way into the drive roller? With a small section green plastic spline bush sat between the roller box and spline drive? Has it been rebuilt recently? Are the top and bottom roller mixed up on reassembly at some time because it doesn’t look right which I’m sure you’ve realised.
  14. At least being where you are- you can jump in the truck with a trailer on and collect a platform from all these countries without getting stung for tax on top and high delivery costs like the UK😳
