Did you use the struts that the AI spiel reccomended in the end or did you research a pair?

I'll have to go back and look see what it came up with Jim, but what I ordered, I sourced from their online selection system, which didn't have an exact match, but was close enough, dimensionally, other than the body being 30mm too short, hence my extension pieces ... the stroke, body and rod diameter were perfect, as were the mounting studs for the mounts I re-used
I'll take a look at what the AI suggested and get back to you

bit of a 'gardening' day ... nearly took my eye out a couple of times on the Dane, last time it was out ... one of our plum trees had a load of dead branches on the back of it, so they had to come off and a.n.other tree needed to lose some low hangers ...
next door's foliage has been over hanging a big area for a while so thought while I was at it, I'd give that a trim too .... can't get under it on the Dane anymore, so 'bout time .... was a lot more than I first appreciated and took me a while, but got there in the end .... 's gonna take some burning though

was gonna put the trailer behind the lil' converted Countax I set up last year for tushing trailers about, 'til I found the damned pulse fuel pump didn't want to play ... could've gotten a lot closer to the piles with that, but got it loaded in the end
and mowing along here with the Dane's gonna be a lot less hazardous now

was about 15ft out over our ground, too low to get under anymore and 90% brambles growing in the trees .... vicious stuff to get down ...... forgot a before pic, as hadn't planned to tackle it today

It’s amazing how ‘open’ areas feel when you give encroaching vegetation a good hiding - you don’t notice it growing, but smashing it back hard to where it used to be makes such a difference!

yeh - remarkable how much it had encroached TBH .... could do with the hedge trimmer on the pole going over it just to finish it off tidy (and the chainsaw for a couple of limbs still protruding on the hawthorn ... amazed how many 'battle scars' on my arms this morning and still picking out bramble thorns from the backs of my hands
