"A couple of days ago I just spent some time watching a blackbird hovering around our grapevine and helping herself to the juicy grapes. I was fascinated at how adept she was at skinning them too! I got a that shot showed a skinless grape, which I thought she would swallow, but she dropped it like a hot potato and ate the skin instead."

"Anyone who knows anything about shags, especially the big ones, knows that I risk much to bring you this unique angle.

Alienware M17x R4 Laptop

Hayden from Carterton District

Works fine but due to a hardware upgrade, the battery would drain, even with using standard 180W charger. However I have been able to possess a 240W charger which charges the battery well. Plays well.

However I have been able to possess a 240W charger which charges the battery well. Plays well. NOTE: due to prolonged use, a part of the keyboard (around the D key area) was permanently damaged and I have been unable to obtain a replacement. You can use a second keyboard to work around this. PC specs are as follows:

CPU: Intel i7-3630QM 2.4GHz (up to 3.4GHz)
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 980M (was a 660M before the upgrade)
RAM: 16GB DDR3 (off the top of my head)
HDD: Can't remember but I think it was 1 or 2TB
OS: Windows 7

I will also provide a DefenderPad free with the negotiative price, which is a radiation absorber for beneath the laptop. Both 180W and 240W chargers will be provided.

Selling due to not being used and have upgraded.

We asked, listened, and collaborated directly with farmers in the making of this gear. We tested and re-tested in on-farm environments. We re-engineered what farming workwear can be with your needs front of mind. We brought our decades of experience creating world-class performance gear. Add to that a legacy of Kiwi innovation, a challenger spirit and a practical attitude that’s been part of Line 7 since we started back in 1963.

Every detail has been reviewed and refined – without overlooking the obvious. Breathable, flexible, functional and comfortable, while still being supremely durable and waterproof. Made to fit farmers of all shapes and sizes, with a dedicated range for women. Built to last, and last a bit longer still, with an included repair kit that means you can fix it up quickly yourself.

Now take it out there, try it on and put it to the test. Wear it out and wear it again. We’re pretty damn confident you won’t be disappointed.

Hand fertiliser spreader. SOLD

A handy little tool for spreading fertiliser evenly on grass or on the garden....Lime, general fertiliser, you name it.

The fertiliser goes in the top and you turn a handle to filter it through onto the garden or lawn. It's light so not too heavy to hold.
Been in storage for a long time. … View more

This is a broom style wire brush profiled to match standard corrugated roofing iron.
Quality wooden frame with stepped steel wire bristles.

Used for cleaning a corrugated iron roof. Would make a big job easy.

There is a hole for putting a handle if needed. I can supply a broom handle for that if you want it.
The handle would just need to be glued and screwed in. I have glue and screws here.

Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.

Half the price of a new one.

Price: $10
