get a mini pick up with a tilt........like hens teeth those are.....
or a moggy pick up with tilt...............now that is style
-
dont know if this is of any help.........
mate some years ago bought a new Berretta..........had very similar probs.....he was a bit of a wizz on the mechanical side and took it apart....inside it was cacked up with a strange grease that had gone hard and sticky....so he cleaned it all out from top to bottom, lubricated lightly......
he has used it now for 5 or 6 years...........never a problem...

thats a nice beast lori..

the pea harvest is well staggered............all our peas were done weeks ago............mind you those peas look like garden peas not petit pois.............trouble is the farmers dont leave the "haulm" on the ground very long......hope you can get stuck in.....

ive opened a can of worms in my brain now.........................i think i will just accept that you pull the trigger ,..and something goes bang...and leave it at that

i thought she didnt like it.....is she softening to it now ?
(you still need to get that bonnet level)

Nope- recoil is more to do with speed and weight. The fastest powder is used for subsonic the slowest shells. Sorry ditch you are way off base with this one. You could reload and find out for years self. Those 24g are a different breed international target shell. 1400fps that's faps
whoops i stand corrected............but surely you need a fast burning powder to push the weight of the shot to get the speed ...hence more kick ?
-
*** just looked when you started this thread and it was about a month, if that, before I bought mine.
yeah i looked as well...........and it was started a month before i was born....ive grown old watching it
-
a lot of "the perceived recoil"...is due to the speed the powder burns at....i generally use nothing else 'cept 2 1/2" carts....but i have used 2 3/4" express carts ..(forgot the brand) they were black...and were 30gm...and they were oh so smooth to shoot....so bigger/longer carts do no equate to more recoil......
i have also used Hull 24gm...and they are very sharp in my little sxs............
-
3-4 coats at least you've started 16-17 more and you'll start to get somewhere.
yup..
after a couple of weeks it will start to "bloom".................when you are rubbing in you only need 3 or 4 drops at a time...and it needs to get hot on your palm.. -
That is interesting ditchy, yes he said it seeded like a gooden and can be prolific, I wonder what nasties lurked in them herbicides? as you say i can see the reason the old rubber hand job was scrapped. Learn something new on here every day, will try and evade volunteering myself for that job if i can help it as i would prefer eating the oats than pulling it. Am always helping out with other things around the farm.

a wild oat when it germinates grows up anticlockwise.............a comercial oat when germinating grows clockwise..........
more useless knowledge from dickapedia..........or ditchapedia.........ahh whatever

Cutting wheat before dinner here today and we are about 15 to 18 miles away from ditchmans depending how the Crow flies , straight line or using a sat nav
spoke to the farmer at 4....he said he might go for it at 6.............its 7 now and we have a few spots of rain....very very overcast....hence the norfolk saying "blast boi..thatsa darrk owa wills muthers"
-
Ahh, might need a good few days worth of solar bashing then before everything comes off up here. Was talking to farmer a couple of days ago he had been out pulling wild oats from a couple of field margins by hand, says if left it seeds like anything, never heard of this before, says it is something he does every year.

a lot of that is done down here ...especially if the crop will go for seed....down here we call walking around the fields....."roving"....elswhere it is called "rougueing"
before elf & saftety they had "rovers" walking the fields pulling unwanted stuff out...then in the 1960's 70's you would where a waterproof glove with a spongy outer layer which would be fed a contact herbicide into the spongy layer and then you would just stroke the stem and it would die.........rigthtly so it was banned...too close to human contact....anyway...the pulling method is a lot better....trouble is its all left on the margins...and the stuff seeds from there as it can lay dormant for several years....
it is a truely a mind numbing job.....students hate it and only usually last a day or so...before going into meltdown..

Still waiting for wheat to come of me small bit. What moisture will they take it off at Ditchy would it be 13/14 then into the dryer?
We had a fair old dousing of h20 here in Liverpool over the past 72 hours throughout the night so has probably put thing back a little for me.

got a contract with the local grain chappy.............garanteed prices but must be 14% and under............mind you the yearly contract is not cheap..
-
still waiting to do the wheat..........tested today at 16%.....................still got to come down somewhat.....need the sun on it as it is overcast and threatnening............
-
i very rarely have the need to shoot at anything over 40 yds.......a lot of the problem now-a-days...is the inability of folk to judge ranges
just try pacing out 40 good yds....yds i mean, its no good minceing 40 yds....then put a stick in the ground and walk back to your hide....then you will see what a goodly distance that is................
-
Is someone casting nasturtiums hmmm I'll have you know I have a whole load of excuses why I haven't finished my landy/started a thread yet. Don't make me get them out!
