    Need it in some sort of vice Pete - those 1/4 pitch chains need a touch more precision than most of us are used to these days. Make sure chain is tight up for the operation of course, dont want any rocking and rolling. You can do it!

    One of the team is looking at a new lifeline - anyone out there who has a view on 'Marlow Wasp Rope' would be much appreciated. Saw it at the AA Trade Fair and it looks a good deal for the price. Having used Marlow for rigging for years with no issues, worth a try perhaps.

    Save your money and throw a decent bucket of dry fine soil on the area, leave it 1/2 hour then brush it about with a stiff broom then clean up. The contaminant rarely penetrates as far as you would expect. The rain will do the rest.

    We all know what is financially the best to burn, but like many resources on the planet we need to re-evaluate how we use them. I for one are keen to educate the public that we all need to do our bit and at least accept burning 50/50 Hard /Soft. I am still interested to uncover the hard facts on differing growth rates of soft versus hardwoods - must be some FC company on the forum who have this type of data?

    Dead right - hard on everything and everyone !

    In an age of increasing scarcity of Hardwoods , would anyone care to comment on the average growth rates of Hardwood trees compared to Softwood ? For example ' The average growth rate of a range of Softwoods is 75% higher than that of a range of Hardwood species.' 'Therefore if a given number of Hardwood trees weighs 100 tonnes after 15 years, the same number of Softwood trees would weigh 175 tonnes' I think we need to be fighting the corner for the declining Hardwood population and doing all we can to promote Softwoods. The end user who burns Logs needs to be convinced to accept at the very least a 50/50 mix of Softwood/ Hardwood.

    Just for Arb. waste, so lots of 4ft rings 1/4rd up into segments out on site, then 1/2 the 1/4s again and tidy up. Basically about 12" diameter rough shapes. Tractor 35hp but buying new PTO pump, so I can specify what flow rate I want pump to be. Can go for a 2 stage pump is beneficial. Thanks for replying.

    I posted this earlier, but time of posting is critical as not everone is at home on the admin. *** Currently drafting a design for a Tractor PTO pump Splitter and am keen to know what size ram others are using for a 4/6 way knife fitted to a tractor splitter. Basing knives on a Processor configuration. Any additional feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    This little fellow would be a member of the Volucella zonaria species - a hoverfly

    I think we are all comfortable that the numbers stack up. I think the issue may be 'are they currently in a position to supply you'. Don't beat around the bush - give them a call and please let us know the outcome!

    Make sure you empty regularly as sawdust invariably heats up/goes mouldy! Axminster Trade Series UB-803 Extractor - Chip Extractors - Dust Extraction & Wood Waste - Wood Working | Axminster Tools & Machinery Keep it dry 240 volt. I rate this highly for the money, As usual you get what you pay for. Good luck

    Many on the forum have all had experience of breaking down large trunks in excess of 5 ft dbh on steep slopes in inaccessible places, just so that the timber can be manhandled to a vehicle. Some seem to start at the top, some at the bottom and I have seen some going at it from the middle. Many take full rings off then cut up the rings, others seem to 1/4 or 1/8th up the trunk then cut rings off. Even a combination of the two at the same time. I would be interested to see / hear what others do and see some photos posted of the monster trunks that have bit the dust in your time!
