Long loop on a dead eye which is cow hitched pushes the splice back behind the first knot and so lowers the loading both shock and otherwise, maybe that's what people mean?

Yep that easy 😁 what you don’t realise is by the time you collect the timber cut it to size ,kindle it and deliver . One person can make 5 bags an hour 🤣

I'm in Haix Trekkers at the moment, been ok. Some of their more expensive models are listed as vibram sole, which is maybe where I'll go next.

Thanks mate is this the standard stihl one?

Check if you are getting 12v to the forward coil plug on the DCV when the rollers start working. That'll determine whether your problem is electrical or hydraulic.

Morning all, Bryan Ferry weather here today. Hard rain’s gonna fall. A day in the sheds spannering and splitting logs I think.

Morning, think it’s dry outside. Haven’t looked yet. This weeks been mild and dry so hopefully more of the same. Have a good 1

Sounds damp out there, going back to the other end of the farm to have a nibble at this hedgelaying, bit tricky last time as I am having to dismantle the far side of the hedge as it is over a road, not to mention the field is 10ft higher than said road, certainly done easier tree dismantles. Probably take the 150, Stihl not timberwolf, not sure the timberwolf would be quite so useful in that situation, up to make things easier.

Morning Team! Did think on going to Exec Hire in Cov but too far removed from that market tbh. Off cold calling the great and the good! Be good y'all! Gill, Dense, Turn.

Hi . ive a 2016 TW 230 back up chipper, hasn’t been used for a year. Had it serviced, new belts and a bit of a tidy but when I went to try it out this evening, the feed rollers spin forward when engine revved up , ( without pressing forward paddle) Reverse paddle has no effect. red light on plug on top bidirectional solenoid valve is on once revved up. when I took off plug, reverse working. Im guessing something wrong in the control box, or do the forward paddle limit switches ever stick on ? I checked and cleaned the plug ofthe cable to the stop bar and paddles , it was clean and dry. Any ideas? Thanks

I've had many pairs of Meindl boots over the years and although I've always found them super comfy you do have to take this problem into consideration particularly if buying second hand boots online. The problem is age related breakdown and decay of the PU sub-sole as in your pics, and it's not only Meindl but other brands... in fact any boot with a PU sub-sole. My guess is that although you bought them new, to get to that stage in only months that in fact they were really quite old when you bought them...maybe even when Gustharts bought them. IME the Achilles heel of boots like these is the PU sub-sole that over time crumbles into dust. You could complain to Meindl, but maybe it would be better if Gustharts did this, if they sell a lot of these boots they must be aware of the problem. I have had a brand new S/H pair resoled but they were done at the Meindl repair shop in Germany, about £120 but I don't expect that that would be very acceptable if you paid £300 for them 7 months ago and they're falling apart. I know for a fact that you just bought old stock. cheers.

I was there in November, strain guages everywhere and screw adjustable jacks/supports, so presumably they "tweak" the individual props to balance the loading, but I imagine I remember it was all fabricated steel, with wood blocks only where the steel met the hull? cheers,

Our Polish son in law asked me did I know any likely suppliers, here in N. Ireland, because another Polish joiner friend of his has built himself a traditional Oak framed and pegged house for himself, down about Dublin somewhere, which has resulted in a few people asking him to build them a similar dwelling. But he needs to source the Oak? I can only suspect with the RoI being in the EC, and the Polish connections, that it would make sense to import the timber direct from Poland? Or what could a U.K. supplier or sawmill offer? Since any prices I have found when searcing online appear to be exhorbinate. I will be phoning the few contacts I know of here in N.I. tomorrow. I would obviously need to get more detail re likely lengths and quantities. But any other input would be more than welcome. Thank you, in anticipation, Marcus

Looks like it’s not pissing down Stevie. AI?
