Still haven’t used it but it was delivered with a cracked rear reflector. I’m going to give them a call tomorrow and see if they’ll send a replacement. No biggie and I can’t imagine they’ll say no. 

 

It looks exactly the same as the more expensive one bar the engine and tables from what I can see. I’ll just bolt some steel brackets to the machine and rivet some plate to them to make my own table.

I used it today rich, worked well! I was alone so not the fastest but I still produced a half decent pile in around an hour. It took a bit to get it running at first, had to figure out what way was fuel on and choke etc but after it had been run it was fine. 

 

The two handed controls aren’t annoying but look really simple to convert to single handed so that shouldn’t speeds things up when I’m alone.

Yeah that’s what I meant mate. They look easy enough to convert so that should help. 

 

Ram speed wasn’t okay, I don’t have a lot else to compare it to but being 22t I don’t think it’s ever going to rapid, plenty for me though. It’ll do knotty stuff no problem. I’m splitting some more later so I’ll get a quick video for you.

Selling the odd load this winter but looking to get setup for more sales next winter. 

I've got some space on a piece of land I was hoping to build a temporary small barn to house 50/100 cube, not sure on the legal restrictions of this?

 

My plan was to make a floor of pallets and then fix some posts around the edges to allow me to add timber with gaps to allow airflow and a makeshift roof. Anybody got a better idea? How did you start storing your logs? Was hoping a pile that size with plenty of airflow won't rot?

we have just finshed making one at work out of scaffold tube and pallets 2 pallets wide 5 long works great.. try and your ground as even as possible and make sure all your pallets are the same size if possible use the blue ones as are a bit more heavy duty run your poles through the pallets and screw them all together to make them that extra bit sturdy good luck ..
