  1. I think @Ty Korrigan might have some experience and advice 😂
  2. If you can’t find an NPTC assessor to do an NPTC refresher, try the LANTRA website and see if there is a LANTRA instructor who is more local who can do a refresher instead.
  3. And I bet his smells of perming lotion, being an hairdresser and all. Something for the weekend Sir?
  4. Show us a photo of your Landy, or does it run Diplomatic plates and is Top Secret.
  5. The daily Starmer seems to have overlooked something over on GB News.
  6. Thinking about getting an Arb Trolley. Any recommendations, is the Stein one worth the best part of a grand?
  7. Collected little Winny from a rescue centre at the weekend, kids are over the moon and she is settling in just fine.
  8. After the recent storms here I’ve finally mopped up the last of the windblown trees. This Oak is part of a boundary row and is the second one to go in the last six months. A combination of shallow soil on stone, water erosion and high winds. I will be back tomorrow to dismantle the one closest to the house. All logs and chip staying on site.
  9. I think the problem is exasperated in marine engines due to the high moisture causing a bacterial build up, maybe chippers etc suffer more in Winter due to similar. Does added paraffin in Winter not just lower the freezing point of the fuel?
  10. Guy I know is a keen sailor and swears by ‘Fuel Set’ to keep diesel bug out of marine engines.
  11. Must be a Devon thing, maybe it’s spelt that way in Cider Country.
  12. Switch to Supertac veg oil for the Winter.
  13. Have you inspected it to confirm it is dead and rotten? Although valuable as habitat, the farm owner might prefer the value in his pocket, or rather not leave it standing and risk it failing later, damaging neighbouring trees and creating a more time consuming clear up. His woodland, his call I suppose.
  14. Looks like a capable machine for limited access and preventing long drags, not sure about those boots though, you get them from Circus brothers?
  15. Had a pretty stiff Jab too if I remember rightly. 😂
