    After having many DMM's in the past with similar faults to this, I will not buy any more, and have ditched my old ones. I found them to be the highest maintenance, most prone to sticking and having the weakest springs of any ive had.

    Has it been trapped or hit around the hinge area? Worth checking for damage first.

    I think if the show was more "central" i.e. half way up the country, and had free entry you would get more northern attendees willing to travel. As it is there is too much choice if I wanted to travel 4 hours to a show, and the most expensive day out is not going to be my first choice im afraid

    There is one possible site near a village outside St Albans that i know of, but surely you are not another who believes anything above the M25 on the map is North?

    That sounds really low usage for 24hr running, but if you were buying it in, it could be costing upto £50 per week:ohmy:

    Strange you say that, so am I!!!!! This was our motly crew last year now pictured on the information page; Motorcycle Action Group I am one of the ones in the middle of the row, can you guess which one? Apparently, we are also on the FYP flyer too but not seen that.

    Mmmm, not sure i can help much, but i would give them good info on burning different types of firewood to suit their needs, like softwood being hot and probably best to reach maximum output of the stove but will need more cu meters per week to run. Or hardwood if they are lazy at filling the stove and want it to stay in overnight. Different prices, availability of each and reassurances of well seasoned stuff from you. Then leave them to make up their own minds:thumbup:

    Suppose its calorific value tables you are after then Stevie? Mr Ed is the one who knows most on the subject that i know of, but dont think he ventures on here much now. As Justme says many variables to consider. Is there a chance you might get some trade off them as a result of the information?

    Nice one Bob, the first one to actually have info. Do you have a link? Is there any requirement to upper body saw protection?

    Nice one! I'll let you know when and where i need it delivered:lol:

    You shouldnt need the engine running for the oil pump to work Rob as its driven by the drum,
  14. 18 stoner
    The only way the engine would be turned over is if the cluth was engaged. As the clutch is activated centrifugally(sp) when driven by the crank, when the saw is stopped it will not engage. The drum will spin freely provided the brake is off. If the chain is pulled along by the other powerhead it will not activate the clutch so shouldnt be a problem, but it will be a big dead lump on the other end of the mill!

    Nice one Liam, one of the reasons i started thinking about ppe with the mill was as a result of the hot weather, sweltering in saw pants when your legs are never in close proximty to the chain got me thinking, is it a chainsaw or a mill? Hence, do chainsaw ppe rules apply? I would say if saw trousers apply, surely a saw jacket must apply too, but is there anyone who can quote specific regs for this? I would say eye protection is a must, as is ear defenders. I do like the idea of having plugs inside muffs, I'll be trying that one! Longer usage should warrant a dust mask and AV gloves also IMO.

    Do you not think that the customer opinion is based upon what they see is an aceptable amout to pay based on what everyone else charges? What i mean is, you should charge a rate that you want to charge (based on your overheads and profit margin, not so you are in competition with others. That is the first step in a downturn of the whole market in your area. Supply a superior product to the competition and charge a premium price. Your turnover will be less, but your profit will be more. My Ten

    Forgot to mention, £100 is delivered around here. Last year mine was £80 for mixed hardwood but should be worth more next year. Regardless of recession, fuel and production costs have gone up, so in my opinion, £100 per cube delivered top quality, £90 mixed hardwood and £75 softwood.

    Really? I thought there was a massive difference, one is covered by PPE therefore needs checking every six months. The other is rigging equipment and needs checking 12 monthly. Are you a LOLER inspector?

    That valve sounds like the other type to the one i was thinking of Dean. Not sure what the real names are for them but one will return to center when released, the other will stay in position until moved back to center(that i believe is on yours). Not ordered the valve yet, so no worries yet. I'll get whatever is the best one for the job.

    Heres the story; I have an old, self made splitter, tractor mounted horizontal that i feel i can bring back to life with a little modification. It currently runs direct from the tractor spool valve, therefore needing someone on the tractor. What i intend doing is buy a self centering spool block(that i can get new £70 + vat) and fitting it to the side of the splitter, therefore making it single person operation. Nothing too complicated there. But, where i am asking for advice is, i would like it to self return, so if anyone knows of diagrams or just has ideas to put forward as a design i would be really grateful. Many thanks, Pete.

    £100 is spot on for top end stuff around here. Not sure how you can make money at your price TCD. Do you process tree surgey waste or cord?
