  1. True Iseki are good tractors. 👍
  2. That would have been a good buy for someone. 👍
  3. If you want the bigger dawgs on there as well, then you need bigger clutch cover. Just in case you were wondering. 👍
  4. I used these guys last year. But postage costs have gone way up. Saying that though. I think it still works out cheaper than buying the parts individually online from UK suppliers. OEM HUSQVARNA 565 572XP FULL WRAP HANDLE WITH SPIKES AND CLUTCH COVER WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for OEM HUSQVARNA 565 572XP FULL...
  5. So a bit like a zero turn mower on steroids by the sounds of it with the Kubota. Sounds lovely to drive. I could do with both the Kubota and the Alpine. Only got the old MF 135 on the site at the moment. One day we will get the budget. 👍 although I have been looking at the McCormick as an option. My local tractor dealer used to be big on Massey and then moved over to McCormick. They look like good machines.
  6. Lovely big tree. Not looking happy on the bole. I had a large lime come over in the last storm. Was hollow at the base where the kretz was. Totally hollow, but no sign of it being hollow from outside before it fell. Rest of the tree from about 5' up was totally sound wood and solid. Picus and Resi Drill might be an idea to see how far the decay has progressed. Seems a shame with such a big walnut. But with that much Kretz at the base I would be quite concerned. That's my laymen's opinion on the matter. 👍
  7. I guess you were milling for different jobs? What's the lime for? 👍
  8. Yes a few white stags in our woods. They are very skittish though them Fallow deer so haven't been successful getting a photo yet. 👍
  9. Have you tried using a hot pressure washer? Have you tried a product like algo clear that will kill the spores/mould to stop it coming back so quickly. Otherwise I think you can pick up sealer from B&Q and any other hardware type store. But you will want to have any living organisms dead first before you seal the concrete I would say. I use a product called block blitz which you dilute with water, it keeps stuff clean and kills moss and mould really quickly and keeps the material looking cleaner longer. 👍
  10. What are you using to clean your patio and what material is it? Pressure washing with cold water will in some instances cause the stone/paving to green up quicker as the spores of the algae get pushed into the material. Hot washing kills more of the spores and keeps the patio cleaner longer. Sealing can be good depending on what material one is trying to seal. Otherwise I have used about 10 different products over the years for algae/moss/grime removal. Algo Clear is pretty good you leave it on and it gets rid of the moss/algae and keeps it cleaner longer. Block blitz works well and is easy to apply. There are quite a few moss/algae removers on the market. They take longer but keep the patio cleaner longer then pressure washing. Sealers work on concrete and other things. Natural stone sealers seem to be harder to get hold of. I don't know how long your patio would remain clean once sealed. 👍
  11. Nice! Looks like great work you do over there. I will have to come and visit some time. 👍
  12. Interesting. Just found this description online. Fern-leaved Beech Fagus sylvatica 'Asplenifolia' Origin: this is a frequently-planted tree in parks and gardens. Where branches are cut or damaged, the replacement leaves will be those of the Common Beech because the plant is a "chimaera". Consider a graft between the top of one tree and the base or rootstock of another. Occasionally a bud arising from the union point grows into a mixture of the two plants with the core of one plant being wrapped in a "skin" of the other. This skin being only a cell thick. In the Fern-leaved Beech we have core of Common Beech wrapped in a "skin" of the cut-leaved form. This chimaera is usually stable but, when branches are damaged, the new growth may revert to that of the core type. Hence we get leaves of the Common Beech form occurring amongst the Fern-leaved type.
  13. Don't think so. the Beech bit of the name doesn't really have anything to do with our native beech trees. The Nothofagus tree is from the other side of the world . 👍
  14. Not common its quite a specialist tree to grow/find. Nothofagus Obliqua from Chile/Argentina.
  15. Sounds horrific. Thank you for sharing this advice. I do hope you can get things sorted out.
  16. Very nice looking wood there. That should sell for a pretty penny!👍
  17. I spent two years trying to get stickers for my milled boards. (I tried a number of different things, such as cutting up pallets and using the boards, but that was a lot of hassle) I got help from a friend who ran me off about 100 last year, they soon went. I have a local mill to me, I asked them if they could sell me some bulk lots. They wanted £1.40 per metre for stickers. I decided in the end to make some 1inch pine boards with my chainsaw mill and then cut 1" strips with a skill saw. Bit of work. With a table saw, life would be even better. Might invest in a small one soon. But being able to make your own stickers makes everything worth while. I now just make my own and sticker away. But buying a bandsaw mill would certainly be the most efficient option. 👍
  18. Thanks Spud. for some reason I did not see your answer till now. The fuel was leaking before I changed the fuel line. I put in new fuel line which was a tight fit. Not OEM as I didn't have any on me, I wanted to see if changing the line would make any difference to it leaking but it is still leaking. That's when I checked online to find out about the vent. It seems the push in vent may not actually be in place. I only see the plastic pipe and no end on it. I need to investigate more to see if that is the case. But now that you mention the 2 parts, it may be that the end of the vent is not in there. Ok will check it out and post a pic based on your diagnosis. Cheers again. 👍
