My mates got 2 x 15ft long stone trough's in his farmyard, never seen anything like it! about 2ft square.. don’t think he knows quite how rare they are that kind of size! Look like huge feed troughs

those are 5grand apiece

We are having our roof done at the moment. 1950s house. Look at the grain on the original roof battens which are hard as nails- Scots pine apparently Vs the modern spruce which is replacing it

Nice work

How practical is that ? Prefer it to the cut off saw ? Does it go through in one ?

Cut and fill in a field, to something like level across a 6% fall for a polytunnel 45m long x 10m wide - keeping soil within reason to put back over, 6% fall is across the 10m run.

couple of days for 6tonner ?
