Not true stocks. Every day and in every way we see the effects of upper class sponging. The main one thats driving me mad at the moment is the bailing out of the banks. Talk about rewarding stupidity and greed!
-
I like bolshy people. Funny how everybody wants to bash dole spongers, but ignore's the real parasites on our society - even when their pointed out.

That was a great buy Richard. still going well? Thats exactly the same as I have. Marko, whats your budget? I sometimes get access to great ex demo deals and suchlike. What do you need your machine to do, and whereabouts in the country are you?I can arrange a machine for you to Demo if needed.

My bodies cost me £1150 plus vat fitted, which was over £1000 cheaper than anywhere else in the country. Thats high sided with 3/4 height alloy barn doors. The guy is a bit slow on delivery, but the quality of work is A1 and the price unfrikkinbelievable!

I was with HSBC for 10 years until I went bust, and they were the best of a bad lot. Why oh why do we not have decent credit unions for business in this country?

Total Petrol head here. started with a mini 1000, soon ditched the engine for a Vizard 1400 (60+ oversize), blew that so dropped in a 1340 metro turbo engine with adjustable boost. Still have a soft spot for mini's ( had 7 or 8 of the little beasties) Had a lotus sunbeam, RS2000, Rover SD1 V8. Last quick car was a saab9000 aero with brodie racing 300+hp engine. I need another car though, something PROPERLY fast. thinking Westfield with vauxhall 16v redtop.

is there that much difference between the ms341 and 260?
Mr Ed replied to jonnywinks's topic in Climbers talk
The Makita's are just Rebadged Dolmars, and are probably one of the best power to weight combo's you can get. I want a 7900, but in sexy Dolmar orange, not sh*t Makita blue -
MY kitchen is handcrafted from 2" wych Elm slabs. No MFI rubbish for this boy. Nope on the card though, they paid cash

Mr Ed replied to jonnywinks's topic in Climbers talk
I have a 341. I have loads of 346 / 357 huskys, and am a husky man through and through - yet I would chose the 341 any day over the husky. Its not quite as powerfull or fast as the Husky 357, but I would buy another tomorow, mainly because its so durable. It has a nice torquey engine and withstands the daily abuse my guys give it. I bought a 260 at the same time, which I consider to be a piece of junk. -
SOme friends of mine paid £14k on an MFI kitchen (foolish I know...) due to be delivered on the 8th december. On the 7th MFI went into administration. DOes anybody have any information on this? I'd hazard a gues that my friends flatpack kitchen is sat in a warehouse somewhere gathering dust...

either that or a knackered motor bypassing oil.

depends on how hot your fire is. Couple of years ago we left some rhododenron in stacks in the summer sun. 6 weeks later we started burining, and a mate brought a laser thermometer to site. temps in the fire were over 1000 degrees, more than enough for complete combustion of all associated dioxins. On some jobs it makes a lot of sense to cut all the firewood out and rake / burn the brash with an excavator.

Fatties on the dole cost this country a lot less than the upper class spongers on the civils list, the vast amount of subsidies rich farmers get for doing f*ck all, the massive tax evasion perpetrated by the like s of Tesco's, the 37 Billion the banking industry has just recieved as a reward for their complete incompetence, the Royal family, PFI schemes, etc etc. I could go on, but its a long list. This whole country is designed to suck up every last scrap of wealth available for the use of the rich, while us poor sods scrabble for the crumbs.

All you need to make a hydraulic splitter quick is a 2 stage pump.
-
Its also completely illegal in this country, and with good reason. The system works on a heavy flywheel with a rack and pinion to drive the wood onto the anvil. Once you engage the splitter, there's no way of stopping it, and no safety system of any discription. so if your fingers happen to be in the way... At least with a hydraulic splitter you just let go of the handles

Why chip it? because a litre of derv will create over 4000kwh of usable biomass energy. Thats a pretty good conversion rate. A 360 will not create much compaction, as its overall ground presure is quite low. Shears will do a really neat cut if the knives are kept nice and sharp.

Siemens M65 is the best tough phone available - beats the jcb and sonim into a cocked hat. Rubberised case with steel surround...

Very sad. I used to lovewatching Take Hart - The Gallery, Morph, Chas and all the little artists tricks tony would teach. RIP Tony.

The Taijfun processors are the dogs bollox, used a few lately and have been very impressed. http://www.tajfun.com/en/program.asp?program=rdeci&id_strani_var=12

And I get sick of hearing that the screened chippers are the only thing capable of producing the 'right' kind of chip. Your average tree surgeons timberwolf / Jensen / Schliesing / Greenmech etc will produce way better quality of chip than the big screened machines - they just wont do it in the high volumes necessary for commercial biomass production. But there are hundreds of small chippers working away in every county. To true. I can remember for years the FC have been telling people that the Hiezohack is the ONLY suitable machine for chipping biomass. The other very important thing is speccing the right boiler. Wet chip source? it needs a drying room or a boiler with a ceramic refractory lined combustion chamber. Unscreened chip with oversized chunks? it needs a heavier auger or a ram feed system. The Truth Is Out There...
-
I dont get your point. We're all tree services' here on the forum with tonnes of chip - And ANYWHERE is capable of buying chips in - you just pick up the phone. Personally, I'd say your biggest mistake was going on a seminar run by a local authority and the FC, both of whom would struggle to find their own arses with a map. Its funny how most of continental europe can make this work but we cant...

I have an s20 Multione, I've developed quite a few attachements for CSF and been to the factory. I know the dealers / importers in the UK, so can put you in touch to get an excellent deal. Look here for full specs- http://www.multione.it Any of them have more than enough oil to whizz your splitter up and down, and the CSF machines can be fitted with 3 point lincage and PTO output shaft.
-
Have you looked at something like this? - I've had really good succes with them. http://www.multione.com/html/gt_series.html

Its like drugs, people know their bad but its an addiction... In a lot of ways, for hard use there's not much else that compares. I would like to get a nissan patrol double cab tipper, but it does'nt exist, whereas its easy enough to get a landrover in virtually any spec.
