  1. If I'm remembering correctly, there is a filter on the bottom of the tank, in the screw in fitting, need to drain the take it out, chances are that's blocked. It's only a little inline filter, it gets overlooked. Oh and its got 1 cylinder too many!
  2. I don't know off the top of my head. A telehandler will run rings round a tractor in the yard, but its all going to depend on budget, the hours you are doing and the plans for the future. Oh and how tall your sheds are!
  3. If you've got a big amount of loader work to do, spend some extra money and buy something with a clutch less shuttle. Not having to use the clutch everytime you want to change direction really saves the knee!
  4. Keeping well, how are you doing? Might be worth asking in Bearts, they often have dogs advertised on their notice board. Any you after dog or bitch? colour important?
  5. Are you on facebook Mani? There is a chessie page which is worth a look at. Might be some litters of fowling labs in the club, I'll ask around.
  6. He Had a Bedford rascal cut down into a pickup. Paying good money for them as well
  7. If you're on facebook J, theres a chap in Emneth who was buying up engines, I sold him a lister d on the weekend.
  8. Trouble with goat meat I find, is people automatically think its only good for curry or tastes naff. Then you've got the cost of production being higher, so the price needs to be higher but then people don't want to pay it. I've got about probably 25-30 to sell as carcasses this year.
  9. If you have a spare phone, you can use an app called Alfred camera. Just connects via 4g. I've got it set up in the goat shed as we live 11 miles away.
  10. Been there done that with old side by sides, can't get on with them. Have been using a Beretta Silver Pigeon 3 1/2". Modern synthetic autos are the way to go for the muddy stuff I end up in.
  11. Given the varying restrictions, I had a pretty good season. The only bad part was making a mess off my new gun, but when you spend every weekend on the shore, it's to be expected.
  12. 6.5 mile as the sea Eagle flys from the proposed release site.
  13. I think you missed a trick, you could have brought the rest of the cabinet with you, and had one gun for each skein 😂

    Cabella's

    I'd settle for them starting to ship stuff to the UK again!
  15. Splash of seasame oil in the dough works nicely!
  16. You just need the 16, 28 and .410 to complete the goose set 😂 I might need to rob some of those wads back, once this lockdown is over I can get my "new" 20 ( well hers really!)
  17. Was that EoE? Been thinking of going for a round
  18. Hello all, Does anyone own an Armsan A620? Looking for opinions on them. I was going to buy the misses a 28 bore, but the 20 bore looks like a better option as I have reloading gear and cartridges already. The Armsan fits the bill, the model with the junior and adult stocks. Any opinions? thanks Mat
  19. We use one of 5 different vets depending on animal and issue. 3 are collecting animal from your car. 1 will allow you in, wearing mask etc. Other one is livestock vets and they're operating as normal, just wearing masks and distancing etc. None have cancelled any routine stuff, inlaws are taking one of their dogs to get jabbed today.
  20. I've been upgraded from "Bird watcher" to " Conservationist" now 😂
  21. I'll go one better, two wigeon decoys full of shot holes, and half a pack of worthers that have been in the truck for months
  22. You'll be alright, there are no big cats on our foreshore 😂😂😂
  23. He's done plenty of guided flights, and quite frankly I'm disgusted by the attitude some members are having towards him not having a dog. As you say, we loose a lot of new members, we're a dying breed and should be more welcoming. Whilst I don't like shooting without a dog, it can be done. In fact, I shot my first pink, in the fog on the same foreshore as Manish was on, and retrieved it myself as my dog was at home, and motty's dog was busy fetching his pinks!
  24. If you're planning on dying out there, leave a marker so we can find your gear to share it out! 😂
