If it sweats, its not dry! If its sealed it wont breathe, on pallets or not! If, as you say its dry when it goes in, it should be OK
-
You get condensation inside the container because the moisture cannot escape Johnny, so why would you want to seal firewood or kindling in a steel box that will prevent it drying? A roof over an open sided structure would be my suggestion:thumbup:

You guys are really at the forefront of modern technology. You rock:001_rolleyes:

Dean, as a suggestion, is it worth sticking up a notice at the old chip heap when you move saying "Due to a change in circumstances, the free woodchip is no longer available from this site. However, if you do require me to deliver chip to you in the future, call This Mob No, and for a small donation to charity, i will deliver it to your door" You will probably end up with a handful of people who will take any amount any time that pleases you and it will keep beedy eyes out of the yard also. I dare say some of your customers in the past have turned up for the free woodchip and gone for a ride further down the lane and found some free firewood too!

No worries Liam, i know what the AFAG says, BUT, i cant believe how many other suggestions have been given. Is it; 1 tree length (Mozz) 2 tree lengths (CTS) 10 meters (cutter 1) 2 meters (YEDL/Armchairarborist) 9 meters for pruning (Bolt) 1 meter on LV (Tidytrees) AFAG Guide (Edenarb) Bounce stuff off (Tidytrees) 3 Meters (WPD/Slap ma girdle) Is this not all a little confusing:confused1: I know the AFAG guide is the one WE are supposed to follow, but there seems to be an awful lot of other "expert" advice given here that some of the less experienced guys may follow:sneaky2:
-
Exactly my point! There seemes to be lots of "in my opinion" but the distances are always different. My point is, at what point is it accepted you have taken reasonable precautions? Various bodies give advice, but seem to differ to each other and everyone has their own "opinion". We even have someone who does line clearance saying its ok to "bounce stuff off" wires:001_huh: Come on guys, i, like many others reading this dont know the deffinate answer but there are a lot of people viewing this thread who may take an unnecessary risk.

Sounds like a project just for a few psi Steve! At least they wont get knocked off by a rogue branch though!
-
Nice one Mick, i notice he didnt cut the last couple of logs near his hands, guess he thought his PPE wasnt upto it:scared1::scared1:

Whats wrong with a 360 and 20" bar in conny hedges?
-
Or post the 1,001st one for free!
-
Ok then, so say if you "clash the lines" who would be responsible for repair? I am serious, and its not a dig.
-
Bit difficult to see from the pics, but if they are radials they may go as low as 8psi but you should get an idea when you see them "flex". You need to bear in mind, higher pressures are better for roadwork or carrying weight. I would say neither of these apply to your use of this girl, so lower pressure will be better all round:thumbup1: Dont want to sound like i have a bee in me bonnet:blushing:

Believe me, one of my landy plates is VERY visible outside my house:thumbdown:
-
Nice one Stevie:thumbup: Every time i see a pic of that wee tractor i cringe! It looks like the tyres are as soft as ball bearings. I would say that little machine will run happily at around 12-15psi on those mog tyres......it will ride better too:thumbup1: Just out of interest, let us know whats in 'em:blushing:

The answer to how many logs 26tonnes of timber makes
18 stoner replied to Treewarrior's topic in Firewood forum
By my reconing theres about £5k of firewood there though, so nice profit margin! -
Many thanks Les, very informative.
-
Stevie, let some air out of those tyres man! If you do much pushing or pulling with it you'll soon scrub them off. Less pressure=more traction.

One of mine from a while back; http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/8157-ms192-exhaust-mod.html
-
As said before Shutz or Waxoyl. Lol!
-
If you're lucky you might find one on a station wagon defender as they were standard, but dont be tempted with the springs off one, they are softer!
-
John, i dont mean to give you a lashing, just read both posts again! P.S, Not that it makes much difference, but I have lifted thousands of acres of beet!
-
Let us know how you get on Dave, sounds like you should get sorted.
-
If the loader has double acting lift rams and hydraulic crowd on the bucket, it will need 4 outlets(2 double valves). A standard set up for any modern tractor. I agree though, if knowledge of tractors is limited, get a hyd engineer to look at it for you.
-
John, in what scenario would you ever need to use the loader when the trailer is in the tipped position? In 30 experience of using ag machinery i have never come across one! Dave, just get a tee in the main lift pipe for the loader and put the trailer connector on the new end. Then put a tap between the new tee and the loader rams to switch off the supply, plug her in and away you go! You just use the same lever to tip the trailer as you would to raise the loader, when you've tipped unplug the trailer pipe, turn on the tap and the loader back in action! If you make sure the loader is in a lowered position when tipping the trailer, and the trailer is lowered when using the loader, the oil capacity will not be a problem. It is also the safe way to use the tractor! Looks a nice little set up.

What, even the very first one...........? Nice pics Darr, but i would like to add, i believe evry one of these pics was taken when he was on someone elses payroll! Sorry fella, but me smilies wont work!
