    Does maize ground need a shakerator/subsoiler first?

    Depends if you have compaction. Maize hates compaction so get in there with a spade or penetrometer and find out what's going on. We use the Trio after the plough to relieve any tough bits, level and press. I can usually combi drill after.

    Auto Tire Inflation

    I think @Gerbert has one. Sealey don't make them, search for Qube and there are lots of sellers. They make 12v and 240v versions.

    Recommendations new phone

    I seem to remember reading that battery life on the 7 was a problem when it came out. I got my 6 when the 7 was released as it was heavily discounted.

    Exothermic cutting torch ????

    No. Plasma cutter is much higher temp, no consumables and air rather than oxygen.

    Exothermic cutting torch ????

    A quick Google suggests that it is an air arc setup. So no flammable gasses, just a big welder, an oxygen bottle and some special rods. Lots of sparks but fast cutting and no acetylene to worry about. Very noisy.

    Recommendations new phone

    I dropped my Google Pixel 6 into a drain I was cleaning out the other day. 3 foot of stinking black sludge. It took another 20 minutes to get down to the bottom of the drain to get the phone. A quick rinse under the tap and it was good to go. Very impressed and relieved!

    alternatives to shakearator legs

    Metcalfe NG, but they are dear. Take the shins off the shakerator, new legs are cheap enough.

    My ding-a-ling?

    You need either weight or absorbing materials. Think concrete in the legs rather than expanding foam and stand it on rubber.

    Big six to box profile

    We're going from wriggly tin to big six. It's cheaper and shouldn't rot like the tin has. If it's very shallow pitch you need bigger overlaps and possibly sealant. The Eternit product guide has all the details.

    It all depends how many Angus they need...

    The Beef Tracker thread (no Sheep)

    As long as it has an Angus bull on the passport (and looks like it might actually have had an Angus sire) then you get the premium. Handwritten sires count... allegedly.
