18 stoner

Sure squisher, i get what you are saying but mine is just tooooo tight! Any way its back at the dealers now, till friday. The stihl whizz in the workshop is going to have a look at it and also check the pump, so i`ll wait and see.

Morris Croma 30. I get it from the same dealer that the saws come from. Think i know what you might be getting at Bob- are you thinking i should use something thinner on the bigger bars?

Sure jonesie, all my saws are open full! Always seems to be a bit dry and sometimes heats up. Would just like a bit more really, something else to quiz the dealer about.......

Sounds just the same adam, think ill ask the stealer. Trouble is mines over six months old now. I even put a shorter bar on mine to see if it was to do with length of bar/chain but with 20" its still the same, so must be the screw mechanism.

Mine is just very difficult to turn to get the chain tight enough. It doesnt run out of thread though, so, as steve says, it could be worth checking your chain length.

guess i can go shoppin- never been in a golf shop!

Looks usable but not cheap! Why do you never see short sleeved versions? I have been looking for ages now to find something that is waterproof with short sleeves to climb in, but cant find anything at all. Surely, all that matters is keeping water off your back and a bit of heat in, but i find sleeves a pain. Guess i am after a waterproof t-shirt, anyone any ideas?

Mmmm, bit strange that, i got one a few months back and it doesnt seem to put enough oil out on a 3foot bar, and, the tensioner screw is very tight:thumbsdown: Maybe i oght to have words.............

In comparison to what he saved by using red, i recon he will still be quids in!

well ben, think i was robbed! wont happen again though- i have about 5 tons of it heaped in the yard now............

Not if you class it as fuel and burn it in a "heater"

Yeh lee, the reason i found out was my yard is at my fathers nursery, it used to be an agric smallholding so is still classed as agric. Last May, when the "latest set" of rules came in about waste disposal, management, storage etc, we attended the seminar/help night to fill in the new exemption certificates. Yes it was one of those nights:bongsmi: Our local EA guy was, for a change very helpful with info, and i showed, shall we say a special interest in burning issues. Im sure it could be found on the EA website but in short, you cannot transfer green waste to another site to burn, even from one garden to another, but you can burn upto 10 tons on site in every 24hrs- thats a good heap of brash! One other little tip he gave was, all your unchippables can be carried back to the yard without a waste carriers license if it is to be used as fuel. So, he said, build an incinerator in your yard/workshop and use it to keep staff warm on say lunchtimes, wet days, BBQ`s etc. :wave: From that i would say, bend the rules however you can back at the yard:heeeelllllooooo:

Actually Lee, i think you'll find it still is legal so long as its not a nuisence to anyone else. You can actually burn upto 10 tons of green in any 24 hrs. Im not picking fault lee, actually agreeing with you- there is so much cr*p out there about what you can and cant do, it just leaves you:drunk:

Yeh, the bit i think they are particularly concerned about is larger volumes when there is significant run off or effluent, ie risk of contamination.

Ok, another thought if you are thinking of taking "produce" to another site for production of woodchip, you will need a composting license if you heap up Your chips! Believe me, i live within half a mile of the EA offices, and they have eyes all over!

This could be a bit off thread, but does any one know of any border collie pups? Would like long haired, working strain, must be a bitch. Cheers, Pete.

Good to tell you havent improved with age Kev:proud:

In my experience, your logs will dry out better split on the heap. If you can get over the security issue, you will end up with a dryer product after the same period.

Spot on, all of it! Its amazing how much such as chippers cost to run. Your pricing and customer relations are exactly how i try to make mine

Ah, now that can be very different, they sometimes get massive discounts!

I am not on this one but i am on the NHS Directory of Qualified Tradesmen. This is a great one, its free, only thing is you have to offer a discount to NHS staff. I opted for a 10% discount- its great when the customer rings they cant help telling you they can get a discount...................obviously they get it taken off the pre-hiped price:008:

Ok ben, the reason i asked is, i just sold one about 24" diameter 10 feet long and got £80 for it. Wasnt the best log but, afterwards wondered if it was worth the hastle.........

Ok Ben, can i be really rude and ask how much? And was it a big black heart?
