This thread has proper cheered me up, I’m only knee deep in shite at the moment some of you boys look like you end up 20ft under ?

He went from being a genuinely intresting chap to a shill sellout, I started watching him on day 1, mans a buffoon now

If you get it il have 10 acres off you at £755 a pop, wouldn’t mind a couple deer either !
-
Sadly knowing how the law works in this country it’s probably more along the lines of a custodial sentence for me ! ?

I couldn’t find a worthwhile policy for what my chippers worth, going down the GPS tracker route, £200 for the tracker, first years tracking free and £50 a year after that. Live tracking and alerts.

It’s not too hard to see why, no digs at anyone but see what a CSCS card and a dumper ticket can make you at the moment.. compare that to your average arb job and that’s the answer. Of all the trades and skilled jobs this seems to be the only industry that gets cheaper by the year.

Bentleys used to have Citroens hydraulic suspension back in the day

If your talking new maybe, second hand youl be able to pick up a compact for about 3k , if you buy a ride on mower for less than that your gonna be spending money on it every other week.

None is ultimately the answer, for both the size of paddock and usabiltiy long term you really do want a compact tractor, no real difference in size but a lot better build quality and much more versatile.

No chance I don’t even get to plant much and I’ve put 1000s in the ground all over the country.

Can claim food expenses a certain distance from home base ect...

Personally I’d pick some humane traps up, bait them with chocolate or peanut butter and despatch them in the cage, got two dogs so poison wasn’t a option for me, little .22 air pistols ideal for knobling them in the cage. The fuckers hate wire wool if you suspect any nooks stuff it chock full and It will dissuade them.

Twin axle versus tri axle trailers - pros and cons?
Sheepy replied to Big J's topic in Large equipment
Do you have a link for the German company? And personally anything heavy I’d go with tri-axle all day long, If you’ve got a decent tow vehicle there not going to stop you going round corners, there is scrub wich means you have to rotate every now and then as often the fronts seem to take the brunt of it but there so much more forgiving and nicer to tow. And you’ve got another axle to slow you down too. -
Air raid siren hooked upto a motion sensor is the best/cheapest/most legal set up I’m aware of. Know a couple of chaps that have it and you physically can’t stay within 100ft of it when it goes off. Actual air raid siren needed for it though.

Problem is genuinely worthwhile training gets seen in a bad light with things like this, I’ve had grief with the CSCS system before jumped through a load of hoops, went back, sat through a 1 hour safety (corporate advert) video, to then have the health and safety Nazi or “manager” as they like to be called tell me I can’t use a strimmer..
-
I believe they get enough cold weather to justify mandatory tyre changes on veichles, deep enough snow and ice to use chains ect.. would be interesting to know but I can’t personally see wood pellets being used. Salt goes when the weathers warm this would be clogging everything up for months.

It would be like having a game of chess with a pigeon, it wouldn’t know the rules, you could quite easily win, but it would still nock all the peices over shit on the board and fly off happy with itself.

Fs460, mulching blade, take the guard off, worlds your oyster.

Burgess had it spot on with Briggs fuel fit, get some non petrol station fuel and add that and you’ve got the shelf life of aspen essentially. Not as clean and nice smelling but a hell of a lot cheaper.
-
Not as problematic as you may think, the Chicken has everything it would ever want in life right up untill it’s put on a wagon and then that’s it. It would be nice if all meat was wild game but there’s just too many mouths to feed these days.

Smallest tractor that can handle 1000kg on a loader?
Sheepy replied to Woodworks's topic in Large equipment
I could lift the back of my Dmax up with mine.. bag of logs no worries, is yours 4wd ? -
If you can get a tipper in you can get a trailer in.. if you can drive ?
-
I’d assume that a Manufacturer at some point probably put that in as a disclaimer being unsure about the full range of mains powered chainsaws, it’s not all about how many m/s your chains doing, if it’s got nothing to clog up it’s got nothing to clog up, also remember that electric motors generate peak torque almost immediately, that works both ways, so unlike in a Petrol saw where as it clogs the engine speed slows and therefore the torque slows if your locked down on the trigger your kegs are gonna have a lot more work to do..

I had a Yanmar ym1610 that would piss that with a loader on, especially if you’d had left the flail on the back
