... and get it all through the 3ft side gate.

Impressive, if I'm to be honest. Looked more like a toy in the first pics.. capable little machine.
-
Sorta looks like the kind of thing you would always wish was just a little bigger when you actually arrived at the job! Tidy about town though.
-
Could cause it to penetrate more as the particles are dissolved faster In the heat but there would already have to be some corrosion present, unless it was painted by British Leyland. Then any power washer will strip it back to bare metal!

To my knowledge nilfisk alto make the internals for stihl powerwashers, a touch cheaper than the stihl branded machine like for like. I use a diesel heated one on occasion, belonging to a neighbour who runs a quarry. Serious cleaning power! Cleans hardened 804 off the shovels like its not there. But they're pricey and can give a bit of bother if you run them with clogged filters. If it's greasy stuff you're dealing with, go for heated, for household or light industrial cold with a little detergent works well enough.

Yeah, talk about derailing a thread... shame on you both!
-
Worst pain I ever felt. Like burning hot sand scraping across your eyes.. lingered for days. Wouldn't volunteer myself again! after all it is easily avoidable.
-
Can't go wrong with a karcher from what I've heard..nilfisk not bad either.
-
Bye.

It was.. I'll be off so...

Whats your multione loader doing today ?
Conor Wright replied to digaholedumper's topic in General chat
I'm starting to get an itch for something like this! Classy little machines. -
No, but I read that Mick Dempsey reckons he has a masters in bating!
-
That's beginning to happen! My head says, "ah go on, manhandle that log there, you hero you" and my back says "whoa there young man, I'm a lot older than you think, them things hurt, where's the key for that digger over there?" My head says, "emm, I left it at home this morning, that's why I'm ringing this log now.." back says "getting forgetful are we?" dammit. I am getting old!
-
Will do... fingers crossed, will post a pic or two on this thread when something happens! Given that it was grown on from a bouquet of flowers I would hazard a guess that it was from an especially vibrantly coloured lineage. Hopefully I never learn to grow up either, it looks like it's no fun!

She has been treated very unfairly in my opinion. Just saying worse could have happened. The money can possibly be recouped. Can't say the same if the dog died in "care"
-
Have to agree with rough hewn, would do more to get one of the dogs back than I would for most people. She is possibly lucky to have gotten back a healthy and alive dog..
-
It's true.. an ex of mine had a miniature jack Russell. Horrible thing. Yappy and nasty and totally out of control, even tried to bite me once. Bloody dog was almost as bad.
-
I see what you did there!
-
Didn't know that, thanks for clarifying. Had typed the message before I read other comments saying the same.
-
Well that's just wrong, is the dog not technically her property? Taking somebody's property and not telling them where it is amounts to theft, does it not? How can she be sure it has been properly cared for in this time? That would be torturous for her, and potentially the dog. Not something that should be let slide in my opinion. However if the greyhound should be muzzled, not something I fully agree with, then I guess she may be lucky to get it back at all...
-
Sorry to hear that, where was the greyhound kept for the month? Could they confirm it's usually a placid dog?(presuming it is?) It's a common problem with the owners of smaller breeds, presuming because it's small it'll do no harm. The most dangerous and aggressive dog I know personally is a puggle.. sounds like an attempt at comedy but it's not. If the handbag hound was off the lead, running loose and snapping and the greyhound on a lead.. which one is out of control? I may well have paid out to get my dog back too, but would not let it rest there. I would have some choice words for the police too, the greyhound was dealing with a threat and acting to defend itself and or owner. Dog size is not the issue, dog attitude is.
-
Yep, have taken about 50 cuttings off it today as my better half wants to propagate some for our own garden! A mix of semi hardwood heel, internodal and a couple of hardwood.. hopefully some take! To be honest I didn't find them overly prickly.. nothing like pyracantha but the odd one stuck in a little, the newer growth was almost soft, the prickly bits were more so the semi dead bits further down the stems.. wouldn't like to be wrestling a big bit of it to the chipper though. Great tree for impact amongst a mixed shrubbery.. they will mostly be kept trimmed for ornamental purposes but I may let a few off in the wood. From the couple of minutes I spent looking it up, it seems to be the original tree used by the Japanese for burnt cedar cladding, Shou sugi ban

How did you find it with the flail mower? I've got a 35 hp compact and have been toying with the idea of getting a flail mower but not sure if I've got enough grunt to drive it in the rougher stuff.. its a branson 3510. So probably more comparable to a 30hp kubota in reality, them korean horses don't seem as strong! What width was your flail?

Thank you! I've read a good few of your posts over the years, I like the balance of knowledge and humour. About time I started learning what I'm looking at, thanks again for the quick response. -

Conor Wright replied to David Humphries's topic in Fungi Pictures
Found a few bits over the last couple of days.. first two are growing from an old beech log, next three are on an old spruce stump, two from a multistem cherry, a very small lilac stem with dusty little ring around the stem and sumfink on the chip pile, I don't know if there is anything to be excited about but some positive id would be great!
