  1. Masonry Wood Burner | Ecco Stove | Whole Home Heating WWW.ECCOSTOVE.COM Ecco Stove is a masonry wood burning stove built for Whole Home Heating solutions allowing customers to heat their whole home without relying on the grid. Saw this company at the Arb show last year, didn't have time to stop but looked up the website since. I'll be fitting a stove before next winter, thinking of something we'll have burning all day every day pretty much, and wondering if i go down the route of masonry stove? Looks like they give out a more gentle heat, but will keep kicking it out all night, and won't roast the room so much? Anyone got any feedback/thoughts/experience with this company or masonry stoves in general? Any advantages/disadvantages They do an additional hot box for hot air ducting/hot water, but got a working gas boiler so from what I've read on other threads on here, probably easier to keep that for hot water and top up heating if we need?
  2. DB 1490? Nice tractor
  3. Local chap has this trailer which I've hired, can do 260kg at 9.45m or about a ton close in. He strengthened the frame and put a fair bit of weight at the back to keep nose weight low.
  4. Who made this rule tho? Yea I get both your points here, but that's my point could be an easy add on to the job, so the tree surgeon gets it not a lanscape gardener.
  5. Fully agree on these points, and on your comment below, he's a bit of a nerd🤓. Also if tree surgeons did offer to plant a tree(s) when they removed one (for a cost), it'd be more business now, better for environment and more tree's =more business in the future? In theory not a bad idea in fairness😃
  6. It was happening a lot with red diesel a year or so ago, as they'd sneaked an increase in the amount of bio-diesel they mixed in with regular red. Obviously being plant based it gave the bug more to feed on. The fuel additives will only help prevent it happening in future if you add it to fuel, it won't sort the problem if you've already got it. As someone mentioned you'll need to pump out the fuel and filter it.
  7. Easylift R-160, Narrow Tracked Spider Lift | MC Property Maintenance WWW.MCPROPERTYMAINTENANCE.CO.UK The Easylift R-160 is a narrow tracked spider lift offering a working height of 15.8 metres for internal or outdoor... These guys argunear Lavant I believe, this one is 1.9m might be too close to risk it...?
  8. My little brother was going for the husky 120 as his first saw but this got me on the hunt for a 2nd hand saw, just picked him up a 2nd hand MS240, don't think he'll be disappointed with it.
  9. Like this idea. I reckon if you go down the scaffold tube route you'll regret it after about the 2nd hole, be a blighter drilling 50mm holes through sleepers I would think?
  10. All the best with recovery, thanks for writing this. Worth it if it saves one person from having an accident. I don't do much grinding but same applies to saws, machines, processors etc. Maybe put your bank details on here, sure plenty could chuck something in there to help you along?

    Rayburn

    Sorry this isn't really arb related but our oil fired Rayburn has suddenly decided to stop heating water... (oven part fires up as normal). Think the boiler and oven are 2 separate burners? When the heating/hot water should be on an orange light comes on at the bottom as per attched pic. Have got an engineer coming (when he feels like it) but in the meantime no heating.... Just wondering if its a simple fix? I've checked its not the pump/mororised valve. Thanks
  15. Let me know how you find it if you go for it!
  16. Following this thread with interest... I've a MS361 as my go to saw (love it) but my 15yr old brother is wanting his first saw. I've a MS181 which handles and cuts fine, just always been a bugger to start and feels a bit cheap so unsure if to recommend to him. V interested to hear the suggestions of Echo, so they'd sit up there against the stihl/husky domestic saws quality wise? (Not too fussed on vib/chain speed) He's looking at one of these; Husqvarna 120 chainsaw (38.2cc) (Version 2) (14″ bar & chain) – F.R. Jones & Son WWW.FRJONESANDSON.CO.UK Any good?? I've never tried one. Probably loads of similiar threads on here somewhere...
  17. TAKE IT SLOW!! It's not a race, normally goes wrong when you think you're a master at it, rush it and it exaggerates every little turn, you're jacknifed or put the trailer into a hedge or gate post before you know it.
  18. Maybe they spend a lot of time on holiday, you know specifically caravaning holidays...🤷‍♂️

    Thanks, yes will put it on the old steel bed, which is pants for shovelling off.

    Ok hadn't thought of that, thanks for warning. Will leave an expansion gap round the edge.

    I need new bed for the trailer, after something that stands up to weather, smooth to shovel off etc, sounds just the job will get some from mcveigh Billingshurst and give it a go. Used it years ago for chicken house floor, fantastic stuff.
  22. You mean Mitcham, near Croydon?
  23. Sounds an excellent scheme, have to say I didn't know it existed. Will start grabbing serial no's over next few days. Perhaps a link to it on this thread would make it easier for everyone?
  24. Tyre Suppliers | Trusted Tyre Specialists | Redstone WWW.REDSTONEUK.COM Redstone are tyre specialists, who supply inner tubes and tyres online, primarily to agricultural and grounds... These people are worth a call, be surprised if they can't help with the tyres and rims.
