The chipper you will need is dictated by the type of chip your boiler needs. If it needs proper G30 spec chip with no oversized material, then you will need a proper biomass type chipper. Not sure you will get anything small enough to run off your little tractor though, you might be better stacking all the cord to dry and getting a contractor with a big crane fed chipper to come in for a day and chip it all in one go. If it is properly stacked and organised a contractor will be able to chip a massive amount of wood in a day.

Fig 8 I would say. Controlled descent and less chance of burning hitch cord.

I have done a few dead ones this year. Frost maybe? All the timber goes in the firewood pile.

That's what I think. Sounds like your dealer wants to sell you a whole new powerpack.

It is an experience, iv driven a 26 tonne hooklift with gritter body and snowplough on. Suffice it to say other vehicles give you a wide berth!

I think you would be disappointed with a 150 after using a 190. (I do use both on a regular basis btw) Its not so much about size capacity, more the ability to get large amounts of brushy material through quickly without loads of snedding up. Especially on nasty spiky material. There are other small machines that cope better than the TW150 though, I would be looking for a wide letterbox feed and a wide feed hopper. (Deffo look at the Quadchip)

Felco here.

A 40 a day pie habit will do that to you.

Indeed, not only has it all been sold and delivered, its probably all been burnt too. Thanks for the interest though! Got a nice big pile of poplar in Cambridgeshire f anyone's interested.

You need to find a one legged climber to go halves on a pair.

Never thought of an open discussion being used like this.

No one is truly anonymous on t'interweb, unless you really know what you are doing and you are using proxy servers to disguise your location. To a casual observer maybe, but if someone really wants to find out who you are it isn't that hard. -
This country did some pretty appalling things during our empire building years. The USA is now doing pretty much the same empire building, but in a different way. The US governement have certainly funded a great deal of terrorist activity over the years. Much of the IRAs funding came from the US, although they have mostly stopped killing UK citizens now.
-
So anyone I meet with an Irish accent who won't say anything about being involved in terrorist activities is almost certainly an ex IRA member?

And poledancers?

Interesting. That will be far more hardwearing than the exposed eye too, whatever you dip them in they always seem to fray and pick.

I rarely dig around a stump, unless there is obvious cause for concern. I removed a conifer yesterday that had been planted in a raised bed on top of a manhole cover. Fortunately I didn't bother with a stump grinder, just ripped the whole tree out with the crane, rootball, bed and all. Anyone trying to grind that would have had a nasty surprise!

Never seen a splice like that on Beeline, is it a class one db splice? Usually done with a locking brummel and exposed core on the eye. Looks very neat though.

Different Ranger over here. No V6 sadly.

It can do yes. Dont add too much bulk with the stitching though. One way to do it is to use the two longest cover strands from the cover taper. Mark and pull them as usual, but don't cut them out. Use a large needle to stitch them back into the crossover, making sure you keep it stretched tight.
-
No 3 looks excellent. The first two look like the crossover has loosened during the final bury, and there is a lot of loose cover in the eye. Did you try stitching the crossover together? To keep the cover in the eye tight, and to keep the crossover together, you need to keep the eye and the crossover stretched out tight, and draw the loose cover up over it. Where the cover is all bunched up it's because you are trying to bury something too bulky into it. Looks like you have worked all that out anyway, judging by the third example!

044??

How could it not work, are they going to escape and go back to the wild or something?
-
That little Merc would be a handy bit of kit. Rare as hens teeth too.

Some timber wagons have on board weighing, some have a weighing link on the grapple, so you can add all the grapple loads together. As far as I know, the only legal way to sell by weight is to get a ticket from a public weighbridge, as they come under the Weights and Measures Act and can be checked by trading standards etc. I could be wrong about that though.
