I have the 22ton road tow splitter with table. Never found anything it could not split. Use it horizontally in the yard, occasionally in vertical mode on site for rings that need making smaller to allow moving by hand if we can’t get bigger machinery in. It sips petrol slowly. I rate it highly.

Seriously? I really want that to be true, but I've a feeling you're pulling my plonker. -
Cracking program. Quietly, competently funny. Underrated I thought. Maybe because it was so understated.

Interested how it compares with motor in the head. That nob sticking out is going to catch on things, I think.

I need to upgrade my tired old hydraulic log splitter, and my budget would just about stretch to the 15 tonne petrol C-Series. I’ve never seen one in action, and the videos seem a bit hit and miss. When splitting horizontally the controls seem a bit of a ballache, twin handles nowhere near the log? Some videos show the ram speed as painfully slow as well. Are they more user-friendly in real life? Can they be converted to one handle easily enough? I’m used to my vertical splitter. My mate has the Oxdale SE400 which is fantastic but too big and too expensive for my needs. Any input/alternatives appreciated. Must be petrol. Thanks.

It's interesting. Part of my training on 30/31 was to lock your elbow in to your body/thigh to provide stability. I don't see what Stubby was doing as being any different.

? Quick question J who was that you are referencing other than Andy. Just to avoid confusion.

the actual videotape has been or will be destroyed accidentally on purpose No worse than the Hunter Biden laptop from hell Homan was recorded on hidden cameras accepting $50,000 in cash at a meeting spot in Texas on 20 September 2024, according to an internal summary of the case reviewed by MSNBC and sources who spoke to the outlet.

Feeling bold !!! Nothing has changed in how I post so no idea what if anything is being alluded too. You guys genuinely seem to just see what you want to see , often as not it bears zero resemblance to the facts in front of you. I guess if it makes you happy etc etc

Had them both with me and remembered to do a video. I've been using both for hedging. Feels similar in capabilty. This was cutting lime. However from the video, the Makita appears twice as quick, likely due to the .325 vs 1/4" chain. Cheapy feels like it has quicker chain speed. VID-20250923-WA0002.mp4 First cuts, Makita 3 vs cheapy 6 seconds. The second Makita cut was a smaller peice than cheapy, but 8 vs 17 seconds, its a lot quicker. The Makita has needed some chain tightening (loosen, unloosen the nut) while the cheapy has needed nothing so far. I'd want to do more testing before I'd recommend either. Today didnt climb with them, just for snedding on the ground.

carbon geckos are awesome. Just given my old ones to my son to try out actually. Unlike most of the comments I prefer to velcro bottom straps to the leather ones. I found they could be wore quite loose compared to leather straps. Never had any bother with them at all.

Oh, and still waiting on any form of evidence other than News reports. Surely you're not this easily manipulated these days J?

And don't leave any offcuts lying around on damp ground. They're likely to turn into their own little trees that'll then need coppicing as well. -
You know you've lost the argument J when you bring Nazi Germany into the equation. I know you've studiously avoided mentioning Naziism and instead use a date to mean the same thing but not seem like you've actually referring to Naziisim but the intention is clearly there. We are at polar opposites, as per usual but I respect your polite replies. Everything you claim I suffer from I see you suffering from but from a left leaning perspective. You and your foot lackies seem utterly blind to the failings of the Dems in the US and Labour in the UK. We've not discussed Sweden for a good while but the left leaning policies have all but destroyed the country. Im coming to that conclusion from sitting on a Norwegian Oil Rig working with Swedish lads and Norwegians living in Sweden looking to move back. And please, dont tell me what I believe. Perhaps suggest in your opinion this is what I believe. It shifts the perspective somewhat. Your opinion on what I believe are way off the mark as I believe your opinions of the US electorate to be just as poorly judged.

Oi oi Jihadi. There you are. Feeling bold now that your knight in shining armour has come galloping back to your rescue? I'll await the inevitable edits to fill this up with a load of random screenshots of reactions to posts in other threads. Maybe it'll make more sense then. Probably not. Until then. Where do you stand on Autism; caused by paracetamol or something else? Or not even a thing?

I’m a bit surprised the moderators haven’t stepped in really. It’s a waste of bandwidth!

😂😂😂😂👍 Well when it comes to not ever being able to provide evidence to back up the multiple accusations over the years yeah no one runs around like SP. Mind you he’s not the only one I seem to recall some rather outlandish unfounded statements from a long running thread concerning the flu a while back 🤔

You can really go wrong... cut it down leave 150mm stumps and it will regrow.. you could cut higher or lower if you wanted. Chances are it will regrow fine regardless -
It is very difficult to debate this with you both as our views are so diametrically opposed. You see in Trump and his cronies a strongman who is fighting woke, defending American rights and standing up to the world. I see a deeply corrupt and appalling shit stain of a man, who has surrounded himself with similarly compromised and cruel people, in order to obtain wealth and power at the expense of just about everyone else. He is using the office of President simply to serve his own ends and his election is a depressing reflection of just how stupid and gullible significant chunks of the American electorate are. Not to mention racist, selfish, xenophobic and uneducated. These two positions are so far apart, there is little point in us ever really debating this. Week after week, Trump will be in the news for various horrendous transgressions, all of which you'll dismiss off-hand because they don't emanate from your selected news sources. As time passes, this abject degradation of the office of President, the debasement of American Democracy and the descent into fascism will be normalised and accepted, even by those that oppose the ideology. And these are the kind of anticedent events that give rise to such horrors as WW2. 2025 America = 1933 Germany.
