New ebay selling rules relating to knives & blades articles in March 2025
Con replied to pleasant's topic in General chat
I tried advertising some geo magnets before Xmas. (Bit like magnetic lego sort of thing) Immediately removed. Apparently some young children had been seriously harmed eating them! -
They want to see you are safe and competent. They are not going to get a spirit level on the stump. If its not perfect, they might make comment, but not fail you. Remember all the safe working practices, chainbrake etc.

Another vote for water in the fuel. This ties in with the fact it does it when moving, sloshing in tank.

Watership down!

The rabbit went the wrong way round the tree
-
That's good. Never seen one of them before. I've been cutting pegs and using them for yrs!
-
😂 thanks Mark . I shouldn't be allowed on social media!
-
Sorry for any offence Corey. It's just my abrupt way. I've never had the opportunity to go to Canada. But in my imagination, its got to be better than UK. If you've been away for 12 years, not much has improved.
-
My advice would be, sharp u turn back to Canada. Things not working out there? Or are you coming back out of necessity?
-
Yes. Don't like the reference to the groundless, but àgree with the rest ⁹

I'm with Mick. I can't see any advantage gained by devices and gadgets

I tend to natural crotch rig when I can, or use pulley block and portable wrap when I have to. I'm not a big for constantly buying equipment, not bought any rigging gear for ages, over 10?years, so there's lots of new stuff out there. Looking at the notch safebloc. Looks good and nice and simple to use, but why so expensive?

If you know how long the job is going to take you, its not that hard. If you're not sure, it's a bit tricky. Only other thing I would say, don't just consider the tree, access, obstacles, terrain etc. Same tree in a front garden, on top of the chipper , could be half the price

Better than alright. Very nice 👌

Please don't let him get away with it. The more people that do, the more common this sort of thing is becoming. And anyone on here asked to go and look at it, put the dickhead straight.

It involves duct tape and cable ties
-
Decided I'm going for it. O licence application in. I do 90% of the driving anyway. So that won't be an issue. Probably get out of a bit of heavy work, if anything.

I've got my digital tacho. But only used it working for someone. Is the procedure for submitting straight forward? All electronic?

Van packed in a few weeks ago. Got box and tool pod off it and put them on an older transit to get me through Xmas. Long term, debating another 3.5 or 5/6. Advantages, carry more, less trips, not the worry of overload. Disadvantages, more expensive to run, access etc. Is insurance more? Is there anything else I should consider? Thanks
-
Just on the 45p per mile for hmrc. How many years has that been set? At least 25 years, to my knowledge. Surely that's due an increase.
-
Good advice Thanks. I've always used super unleaded since they increased the ethanol. Bit of a tangent. Fueled up the transit the other day (diesel). Not at my usual petrol station. It was low on fuel. Immediately after we left the petrol station engine started pinking/knocking. Maybe coincidence. It idles, runs, a bit of loss of power. Googled it. Plenty of suggestions that it could be fuel pump solenoid. I'm not convinced. Changed fuel filter, didn't do anything. Before I go for solenoid, any other suggestions? Thanks
-
No purpose, except to make people think they need to buy theirs?
-
Thanks. Plastic tank. The funny shaped one like a doughnut. Yes it's got a 3/8 dowty washer. That would be nice if it's got a non fuel type and that's all it needs. Do most motor factors sell them? Also a bit frustrating that I mightve bought a new tank 4 years ago and all I needed was a washer!
