If it is leaking fuel when not running then it is probably drawing air when it is running. change the fuel line.

I'm off tomorrow, free tickets though.

Nice work Dave, does that wee wall continue under the tree?

Thats wierd, both the links work for me.....

buds are alternate... no other pics I am afraid

It wouldn't be much of a test if I gave you all that info:001_tt2:

this one was well over 20cm and its not ironwood:001_smile:

A poplar we felled today, it was well rotten despite having plenty of leaf, there was virtually no gob as I wanted to keep two rolls of reaction wood as the hinge. the weight and the wind wanted to take it towards the hedge and the pink building but it held on long enough. I had an asymmetric hinge for that purpose. We had a bet on the length after we felled it, I lost:blushing: it was 81 foot:001_smile: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Zgbw22tF4U]YouTube - ‪VIDEO0034‬‏[/ame]

I got some bailout off gustharts once..

I know a guy who had a firewood business he worked alone. One day he was felling a dead elm, it spun as he felled it and although he tried to run it caught him and pinned him to the ground crushing his pelvis. His saw was still running and almost in reach, he cut the tips of his fingers to bits trying to drag it to him by the bar, (obviously it was idling too fast). When he eventually got hold of the saw he cut the limb that was holding him and managed to crawl a few yards to a fence but he couldn't get over it and passed out. Luckily he was found and spent ages in hospital. He was no expert and should probably not have been felling in the first place, however, doing this job on your own is a mugs game. The other day while winching I "parked" the tractor on my foot, nothing broken but I was stuck. Had I been alone I would have been there 6 hours before I was missed. Get a subby in as and when.

It wouldn't bother me if it was Chinese, the mechanicals are UK stuff, anyone can weld a chassis. TD Tree & Land Services Ltd.

So does grcs doesn't it??

I've seen that before on sycamore, I 'm not sure what the cause is but I'd guess some sort of bleeding canker which is killing off sections of cambium. I suppose You have tried looking it up in a book?

There are a few myths to bust here, first, why have a combi boiler if you are having a HWC? combi's take mains water and heat it on demand what you need is a conventional gas boiler. A dunsley neutraliser or similar will mix water from your boilers, it is vented so it can blow off if necessary. I have a gloworm boiler, a rayburn and an aarrow stove all linked to a dunsley. The system works as follows, if rayburn and stove arent lit then gas boiler will come on and heat hot water, if central heating pump comes on it will heat that too (it all comes through the dunsley anyway) The thermostat on the gas boiler is set lower so that once either wood burner is lit the gas boiler will shut down. If rayburn or stove are lit (or both) then the heat rises to the dunsley (by gravity) and from there to the HWC again by gravity, once HWC temp hits 70deg a valve closes to stop the HW hetting too hot and so the heat builds up in the dunsley. When the dunsley temp reaches 80deg the central heating comes on automatically to get rid of the excess heat. In the event of a power cut we still get HW and if there is too much heat the dunsley would blow off. This system works well for us.

If its just a streight smash band dismantle I reckon Id have had that cedar in under 2 hours, possibly under one if you were really trying for a quick finish. I think the race would be an interesting one. I would also say that the only mewp work that I have done (appart from hedges) was chunking down a big beech stem with a 3120 with 48"bar, Holding that out of the bucket was a nightmare. I'd prefer to be on spikes tbh, at least you can rest the saw on your strop before going for the clean and jerk and rev.

I think the atlas is easily as good as an ifor, I have an atlaqs tipper and an ifor beavertail, as well as a bateson tipper. There is no diference in build quality between the ifor and atlas or bateson. There are some well thought out features on the atlas like three storage boxes and having the hydraulic tank up and out of the way unlike the bateson.

Hope he comes through ok Nick. We'll be thinking of you over the next few weeks.

Out of interest Mat, how long would you have taken to do the cedar in the op? Not to clear up just down to ground level. TD Tree & Land Services Ltd.
