I was working with the new alpine in the woods today. Winched itself up into the windblow to pull back a couple of hung up trees away from the road..

I have appeared in court as an 'expert' (open to debate) witness in a hedge dispute. I charged them good money and we won the case. These things can get very emotional and heated, my advice is don't do anything that is beyond the law. And charge plenty.
-
Talk about getting the wrong end of the stick.
-
Hang on a minute, they are stopping you from displaying the logs by a quantifiable volume and asking you to do it by the load instead? Thats crazy!
-
It will likely cost all of £3k to install a front linkage and PTO will it not? Cheaper to buy a tractor with it already on and sell yours.
-
The issue is weight rather than power, at 60hp is more than the forst will have. You need to be sure the tractor can lift an 8"pto chipper. There are loads of 6" machines out there that will work fine and with 60hp behind them they will chip a lot more than your average 6" machine which will only have 30-40hp.

Just saw this on FB...

About time! Well done Perth and Kinross! I wish all local authorities were as on the ball as these guys. I wrote a blog on this very subject the other day... Firewood? What is a load? - TD Tree & Land Services

sadly the 190 is no match for the 1928, I'd find a good second hand 1928...
-
I always run mine at 800. 180 hp is about ideal for the 8-400, you'll go through a few shear pins, but thats what they are for... I had mine on a 210hp new holland on one job, it would do about 100 ton a day.
-
No need to change the shaft, just run it in 1000 gear and match the revs, you can go to 800 ok. I think it runs better at 750 than 540..

I had an interesting chat with a car dealer yesterday, I noticed he sells vans and mentioned it. " oh yes" he said, "we never used to but when the recession hit car sales dropped so we tried a few vans out of desperation. They sold like hot cakes, it was mostly people who had been made redundant and were going self employed as gardeners..." That says it all really. I priced a job at 480 the other day, she'd had another quote at 180...

Welcome Jim!

This is my kind of hiking! Might make a decent mini-skidder..... I want one whatever... [ame] [/ame] [ame] [/ame]

As little as possible.

Or its just blown its engine and the owner would rather claim on his insurance........

Look at your pictures, it says on the plate next to the riddling lever "coal" and "wood"....
-
I have an Aarrow stove, the riddle lever has two positions, down is for burning wood and up is for solid fuel, if you look at the grate when moving the lever you will see that the coal setting has much larger gaps in the grate to allow more air through. The trick is to allow the ash to build up on the grate for a couple of days and then only riddle it occasionally. PM me if you want any more info.

Sounds remarkably like my mornings Mark, the second part that is.

for a base layer a crew fro me, then you can wear what you like on top..
-
Well done! It is a single leaved ash, I don't think its diversifolia, I can't remember what it is now. I'll come back with an answer. Its just growing in a hedgerow, its been topped with a flail several times hence the odd shape..
-
No. Manna ash has a compound leaf like regular ash does.
-
There you go....

We have a Rayburn, it stays in all night every night, and can heat our 3 bedroom cottage as well as doing hot water, we also do all our cooking on it. I'd have another.... It is on its second boiler though as the first one was weeping at a weld. Its 10 years old and burns nearly a cube a week..
