How many cyclists with dynamos on a stationary bike to get 7.5kw?
-
There's another thread somewhere asking about replacing the motor in a 200. Could the 220 motor fit into the 200 chassis I wonder? Mine is fine for now, something to think about in the future though. Edit: regarding heated batteries needing to cool down to charge... I suppose that's why God invented tea breaks!
-
I just ask for sn extension cable to be available if I know I'll be burning through both my batteries. By the time ggst happens though, I've generally switched to the bigger saw. If anyone knows off the top of their head what the difference in spec between the 200 and 220 is, I'd love to hear it. Are we absolutely certain it isn't just a bigger sprocket and bar?
-
I mean, if there's enough interest I could probably come up with an actual factual prize? Up until now it was just a healthy dollop of the respect and admiration of your peers. -
Not played with a 300, and don't know exactly what you mean by "heavy-duty arb work", but you'd likely be disappointed with both options if you mean genuinely heavy duty. That said, I love my 200, it does exactly what I ask of it, and I recommend them to anyone who asks. But yeah...clarification needed as to what you define as heavy duty!
-
Send me a stamped addressed envelope and I'll post it all to you, that's 300-800 quid easy made for you! What's your guess?
-
Interesting, thanks. I'll write your entry down in the book. You're the defacto winner so far.
-
This is just something we are all going to have to try and move on from. My door is open if anyone needs to talk about it. Thoughts and prayers, everyone. 🙏

What's popping dudes, anyone want to guess what volume of chip from these sycamores? Not whole tree, separating out the firewood but not being silly fussy about it. About 4 or 5m³, I'd have thought? Not even that? Prize for whoever gets the closest. Also, anyone know where I can sell 4 or 5 cubes of jigsaw puzzle cord wood?
-
That's all well and good, but what if the tree is further away than my extension cable will reach?
-
My folks are into their third decade of rescue hens, you see some sorry looking birds coming out of those sheds. I appreciate the reasoning behind it, and it's great that the birds involved get a second chance of life, but I can't do it. I feel as though it legitimises the industry to an extent... give us 12 months of hard labour, and then you can go free!

Egg yolks are the perfect source of energy and nutrients for chickens... it's literally what they are designed to do, it's just that the usual intended recipient is still inside the shell with the yolk. Add a bit of crushed shell for calcium and some oats for calories and roughage, and you've got a poultry superfood. A mother hen sitting on a clutch of eggs for 3 weeks, then however long it takes before she can safely go and forage with her babies, will happily eat any eggs or chicks she considers non-viable if she gets hungry enough. For the greater good!
-
Good boiling bird, regardless off the age. Best chicken soup is from an old hen.
-
Scrambled egg, added crushed shell optional, added oatmeal optional, is what I feed chickens that need TLC. Expectant mothers, generally, not sick chickens. My sick chickens generally get told to buck up or bok off.
-
I enjoyed mine today, certainly. Hire machine, but brand new teeth in it... worked like a dream today. Three days knocking down an overgrown hedgerow, holly and hazel and hawthorn, separating the timber and making sure the rest is all stacked neatly... then chewing through the pile from one end to the other, the machine didn't stop all day.
-
Yeah, a hammer or a round plate, that'd be ideal. They recommend their own specific 11mm line for it, but it looks like you could squeeze another few mm into it, it looks pretty spacious. 600g.
-
Well that looks pretty effective. I like the bight feeding solution, but I feel the tooth at the top could be a bit more pronounced...
-
I do tend to cast a suspicious eye towards anyone wandering around in the woods without at least one dog. I can loan you one for a while until you find the right candidate? I've been asked to look after a foxhound of my late friend's, his recently orphaned children (15, 16, 23 with a toddler) are finding it difficult to give him the attention he needs. Nothing residential, just picking him up for walks whenever I can. My collie didn't give him a second of peace yesterday, he went back home exhausted. Edit What, where am I, this isn't the dog thread. Good morning everyone.

I've always felt warmer with my own gristly arbwaste than any mesh bag of 3D printed identilogs from a petrol station. Knots, bark, crotches, whorls. Lovely stuff.
-
I've always preferred the messy stuff, it's more fun to watch.
-
That would indeed be clever, but an inverted bin would have a slight taper going the wrong way, and a pair of handles to stop the chain shrugging onto the stem. I'm sure with slight modification these obstacles could be overcome.
-
You mean one of these yokes?
-
Pretty funny! Did he improve by the end of the day? Some lump of wood, that...
-
I stand corrected, but you're still pretty odd fellows.
-
Yeah the smaller gear will absolutely kink your ropes more, those fig8s are terrible for it; it's why no-one ever uses them any more except cavers and canyoners, and they're all a pretty weird bunch. A kinky rope is easy to fix though, you just run through a grassy meadow at dawn with it trailing out behind you.
