Yes... interesting a very small amount of private miliage is allowed didn't realise that. But commuting to an office for example is private miliage, not business? Presume going to site from home is business miles however, not private?
-
Need a really cheap local small runaround 4x4. Won't be doing many miles at all, or pulling heavy trailers etc. Bodywork condition not important but ideally needs MOT. They come up on Ebay/gumtree from time to time under £2k so hoping I can get something for that. Have been offered a 15yr old Toyota rav4 2l diesel for £1k, anyone had any experience of these? I think the jimny would be ideal but tend to have rust issues...

Go over it with a garden roller first to flatten them?
-
Yes give it a go. If a business leased a ranger then paid for fuel, maintenance, insurance etc itd be that. Maybe over 10 miles, or as someone suggested when you leave the estate or something it jumps up or you charge per mile.

Pretty sure Groudserv in Sutton have one they hire out which is 1.3m wide Not far from you

Maybe keep an eye out for a second hand petrol? Yes they are better than electric broadly speaking. Rock do some OK electric ones(probably be more than £700 though) but electric wil always be slower as they tend to be heading towards the max they can pull off a domestic socket/lead.

I had this with a 181, mice had chewed through the oil pipe. The cap leaks as well so check its not running from the cap and just dripping out the bottom.

What cage traps are good/suppliers? Or I could visit local store if I know what to look out for/avoid. And what bait works, Gareth suggested peanut butter? Finally, how do you bump off the trapped ones, other than shooting?

Hi, I'm no gardener but I bought this pear tree last year, I was hoping this year we may get some fruit from it. The leaves are not looking too good and it has not flowered for any fruit. Can anyone help, tell me if or what I am doing wrong. Many thanks

I don't know much about fruit trees but our apple trees in direct sun produce way more fruit than those in shade... does it get decent amount of direct sunlight? -
Haha gotcha thanks😆😆 I haven't been covering it. Will do with cardboard and plastic, got a load of dpm sheet left over which should be good

What's 4" pipe for? Keeping it moist? My pile is going ok but not much heat, and dries out. Do I give it a good soaking then cover with black plastic?
-
Maybe just me, I'm a Stihl fan for bigger professional chainsaws, but I've found their lower end domestic stuff which I just use around my own property quite unreliable. Would go battery in future if not using much. I'd personally look at milwaukee battery as think they have got the best batteries, but haven't tried husqvarna battery stuff so can't comment.

I used to get a pile of rings and a tractor with vertical splitter, with the promise of £8 for every bulk bag of split firewood I produced. Remember the owner being a bit surprised that the 15yo did 10 bags on his first day. Boy did I used to sleep well😄 Nothing like piece work at that age, harder you worked bigger the pay packet.

HTS Plant Sales in Hereford have one for hire, its pretty new.

Hadn't thought that through had I, I've got stihl kombi attachments... I like how you're thinking! Clould be an expensive experiment tho.

Nice box but is that a MF135 behind? Nice tractors
-
Good feedback doobin, they're a great brand and I agree, top of their game. They've put a lot into developing a decent battery which I think always lets cordless stuff down before the motor. I see a lot of milwaukee stuff in plant workshops it seems the most common chosen by plant fitters. It'll take a bit for me to change over on bigger stuff, but for small pruning jobs etc I'd go down this route when I'm next buying. Only have the drills, impact drivers etc at the moment which are bang on. Do they do a kombi setup? strimmer(i mean trimmer), hedgecutter etc?

If its pumping grease but just not connecting get a new hose and coupler, the couplers are a wearing part and dirt cheap. The reiner guns are good and work by vacuum so suck the grease from the tube not push it out, a lot less messy. £30 should just about get you a non branded one (reiner/fuchs genuine at least twice that). Other than that do a bit of googling and bit of trial and error

Ah that looks good, will have a browse or post on there. Many thanks

Hello all I've got a Hayter Harrier 48pro (2021 model i believe), its developed a really annoying rattle which I think is only really when blades are engaged (has bbc clutch so deadmans handle disengages blades without cutting engine). Seems to cut and drive fine. Before I start stripping it apart can anyone tell me what to look out for? Is there any common problems with these? May save some time if I can go straight to the issue! Many thanks

Whatever. But surely this is why you pay a solicitor to do searches and manage legal side of purchase? Presume they pulled up that house had subsidence issues in past, my experience of buying various properties is they'll advise where you stand and next steps (surprising amount is included in initial fee) Expensive? Yea but not as expensive as doing a £3 search to try and (failing) to find solutions to problems that could potentially cost £1000's. Up to the op but that'd be first thing I'd do, solicitor experienced in conveyancing should be able to resolve this. If they want to save a few quid and have the satisfaction of knowing after hours of research they'd sorted it, then crack on.
