The kiwi tech micro troughs are brilliant, the cattle seem to prefer drinking from them instead of the big troughs. I’d avoid the fittings, long and short of it they don’t work, you’ll end up hating them!

as above. Linkage to fit a 155/80 or 155/65. I have the mounting, just need the arms, rams, and lower linkage assembly. Thanks Sam

I wouldn’t bother with rounds as inters if your going chestnut, use the cleft posts, higher percent of heartwood going to last longer. As to having no preservatives, chestnut contains more tanin than oak so it’s naturally rot resistant. Oaks good for strainers + gateposts only if you strip the...

Dave if you ever want some chestnut give me a shout I’m only up the road. From what the fella that cuts for me says there is hundreds of acres in the SE but up until the banning of arsenic the one man band in the wood couldn’t compete with the huge softwood moguls / there wasn’t any need for it...

Anyone had any problems with their KMR being temperamental? Ours has funny spells where it’s like the actuator isn’t engaging the firing mechanism.

Yup

any info on the dewalt? thats what ive been waiting for,!

Chestnut should be fine, we have just done a fair amount to this spec and they verified with natural england that chestnut was fine, posts just need to be 100mm+

how many you after?

depends on the ground etc, but the cost of installing the fence should be £2, people will say a little more than that i expect. Taking down the old fence will probably be charged by the hour.

that AAtimber link, ive spoken to them before, coming out of Romania, pricewise not cheap, better off going with FnF from what i can tell.

Personally Id go HT/8/80/22. Sheep wont get their heads stuck (the smaller stuff is 8/80/15) Get yourself tornado or some estate, I cant say much posistive about the other brands. Timber wise its a minefield, if you want something to last get hold of fence and forget, not too far from you and...

that would be very reasonable mates rates... contractor is going to be £2pm, £50-60 for a gate and £30+ for tractor
