Hi chaps, I’m an air rifle shooter. I know the forum gets snowballed by folks wanting to shoot over your land (or wave metal detectors over it). I’m looking for a field (or just a margin) near to Gloucester that I can set targets over to (minimum) 50m, preferably 100m. I’m more than willing to...

Long shot, but who knows..... Spent all of Monday at Case New Holland talking about under-hood heat management solutions (gas tractor project) and we have so much to offer for conventional tractors too. As said, long shot, but if you are a designer / system architect then hit me up. Ta.

O.K. Raggie's been a silly sod and forgot to stock up. Only run a domestic burner but I'm out of wood and no bugger will deliver before Christmas. Anyone got a trailer of hardwood they want to sell / deliver? If it's decent wood then I'm not fussed about it being chopped to stove lengths. As...

I don't know what future academics are going to call this era when they look back on it in a few years time (post-truth politics doesn't properly cover it), but we are well into a completely new paradigm. Here is a highly broad-brush summary of what I'm trying to say; In reality, only a...

Well, those in New Zealand anyway... http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-41633997

After it emerged that Boeing managed to lobby protectionalist measures against tiny (by comparison) Bombardier in an aircraft market in which it does not itself compete Theresa May called the Whitehouse personally to lend her weight. To speak up for fairness and save jobs in Northern Ireland...

I've been sent this today. I can't divulge who from, but let's just say it is from a senior guy in a household name British manufacturing company; I’m just back in the office today after attending a Trade Compliance Seminar in London which also covered BREXIT, and the implications it MAY have...

couldn't see anything about this on the forum. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/thousands-at-risk-of-pig-virus-from-supermarket-x-sausages-z2l0s5m0g?&utm_source=awin&utm_campaign=UK_ESI%20Media%20-%20The%20Independent&utm_medium=affiliates This is a big deal.

Walter old chap. I also happen to think that Brexit was, and is, a calamitous decision that will rock our world for a very long time to come, but seriously? Banging on about it with such relentless perseverance merely hardens the attitudes of those who are congratulating themselves as being...

Hi. On Saturday I turn 47. On Sunday I am free for the day. If anyone local to Gloucester needs a fellow to help out around the farm PM me. I've a good Stihl chainsaw and other woodland management tools if that would be handy, failing that I can bring a decent MIG setup and mechanical tools...

Just a question regarding hard facing (tungsten carbide coatings etc.) to farm machinery components where wear is particularly a problem. Do you apply hard facing to wear components? Or buy already hard-faced premium components? Or just buy standard steel components and replace when worn? If...

Hi, Long story but I screwed up building a treehouse for my kids, slightly too high and some weasel over the road (famed for launching complaints formally against half the street without just talking first) let me 90% finish the construction before setting Planning on me. It is too good to...
