If you can oxy weld then tig isn't a massive jump. You ruin the electrode if you get too close. Then you have to grind it back nicely. There is a lot of fafing about with more setting. I do intend to teach myself at some point. Again it's one of these things where you need to spend about 700 quid to get a good tig. Tig does think stuff well - but as with all welding the prep is more important that the actual welding.

MIG Welder | 240v Portable Inverter MIG Welding Equipment I-MIG180 150amp ish from a 13amp socket. If you have a 16amp socket then even better you'll get the most from it. Unless you want to do serious big welding and lots of it then it's not worth the hassle of running a 32amp socket from the board to where you want to weld which would let you run 180amp plus. The inverter first changes the current from AC to DC and then transforms it to desired welding current. Technically the transforming bit is inverting and the AC/DC bit is rectification. If a supermig 200 is a 200amp machine for around about 300 quid i doubt the duty cycle is very long and a i expect it's not very good.

I use a SIP 181DP which will kick out 180 amps on 16amp. I run it 13amp so it maxes out around the 130-140 amp range. The duty cycle isn't very good. But being dual polarity it does give you a range of options. My favourite one in the workshop is the BOC transmig 180 but that is from the 1970s i expect. When it dies it will be a sad day because spares are very rare. The 250amp quasiarc company welder died recently:thumbdown: For a new one I'd get an Rtech one decent price duty cycle and quality. 180amp range will do 10mm but you will have to V prep it and do multiple passes.

Had this for the first time. With Firefox.

Basically it's just a big gear. Say the drum has 20cm of cable thickness on the drum the outside is 20cm further away from the drive so the bend radius is bigger so the gearing is higher so you get a faster line speed. At the bottom of the drum you get more power but less line speed.
-
I've always wanted to do that. I've been up in Classic Wings Dragon Rapide but always wanted a flight in the Tiger Moth. If you've not flow in a biplane before i can be a little bump for the first couple hundred of feet.
-
I expect you already know but if you have say a 6.5t winch that is 6.5t on an a near empty drum. If you have say 60m of cable on there it could be closer to 2t just off the drum.

Unless its worn off....like mine has.

Harrow it 90 degrees to the ploughing and it will make it amazing.

Nothing a power harrow wont sort out.

High quality two stroke oil? I'm sure old saws only used 25:1 because of the quality of the oil. I've got a disc cutter that says 25:1 runs fine with 50:1 HPsuper in it.

At least at the end he is screaming in pain. Could of been much much worse.

Little posts to stop people parking on verges. Or to hold little ropes round retained parkland trees.

Chain not sitting properly in the sprocket? i.e. it's not in the floating rim or half on the floating rim. Starter dogs not sitting right on the flywheel side?

Disco 3/4 or a Land cruiser. Although for the money you're get a better vehicle in the used pick up market.

I must admit on most trees i leave the toes on then dress the butt then dress out out the stem. Another one is forester's paint - wiping mud on a stump to hide it back into the landscape.
-
Dressing out - Snedding/delimbing a tree Scratch up - raking up/tidying up Dress the butt - making sure the buttresses are taken off and the butt end nice presented. Nice lead - Timber all presented in the same direction; nicely. Racking out - process of putting racks into a block of tress typically every 5th row. Landing - Areas where timber is stacked or proccessed into stacks. Deck - the ground can also be a log deck a series of skidded logs all next to eack other. Some Americanisms Faller -What we would call a cutter or a feller but Americans use the term faller and its sort of caught on here. Bull Bucker - An experienced man normally running the landing or saw operations.

This. Not really an expert on the subject of the use of a saw in the tree as a creature of the ground but i on occasion i do it. Only time i have any issues is when i'm too lazy or not confident enough to get to where i really need to be. It must of been late 90s or early 2000s when we had play nice with the 020 or we'll take them away. Seems we're heading back there in that direction.

Mortising Chestnut posts- carving bar?
Brushcutter replied to Matthew Storrs's topic in Woodcraft Forum
WADKIN MF CHAIN AND HOLLOW CHISEL MORTICER SIDE BY SIDE MORTISER MACHINE | eBay This would do the job. Assuming you have a workshop 3 phase and want to do all your posts before you get to site. Never had much luck doing it with a regular saw bar. The smaller tip husky bars work better than STIHL ones but the hole always come out a little large. Don't have a carving one to try with. Best done the right way before hand. -
Problem with chippers smaller than 6" is that they require a lot of prep time preparing the material to chip. I've had a range of chippers from 5" to 12". Bigger is better without a doubt BUT with that comes cost,expense and handling issues. From the otherside any good chipper is better than no chipper. The Greenmech CS100 goes for reasonable money even second hand.

I've never written one off. Had a lot of punctures in them over the years worst one was an inch wide bit of larch in they tread. Patched it up and it was fine. Like i said i've done road work estate forestry and farming on them. Actually chose them on my current valtra.
-
Also give Brocks a call. Other the end of the country to you but they are fantastic. https://www.bwt.uk.com/ Carry used tyres in a range of sizes for reasonable money and they're new stuff is quite affordable. I think i was looking at around a £600 quid discount on a set.

Do you needforestry crossply? Nasty things on the road. I've been using Mitchlin Agribib tyres for years on forestry - not roof mount though. Michelin Agricultural Tires I'm currently looking at getting some Trelleborg TM600 for a little massey. Work out a bit cheaper than the agribib but are quite hard wearing.
