Why would you want a transit when they hold bugger all weight? I had the tipper on my cabstar. Ingimex fiddled with the pressures when I complained it wouldnt tip properly, after that it would tip anything. great trucks imo.
-
Great. I will try both. Thanks

Almost off topic, but I need to get a new crusher jaw made up, prob two to be honest, as a mate needs one for his machine. the manufacturer will only supply if we buy three, as they get them made to order. they have supplied me cad drawings, so I can supply these, and its made from hardox. can anyone recommend a company they are familiar with for this purpose?

Surely its a cs100 strapped to a tracked barrow? Two engines?.....

Rough cost of replacing fly wheel bearings

Also consider plastic slotted posts and plastic 300mm gravel boards. Its amazingly strong, I have it at home. you can put upa wooden fence and stitch weldmesh to it to stop them kicking it in, it worked for a customer of mine

Its not the fire brigades job to enforce nor prosecute, thats the job of the environment agency! Clowns

Spend a bit more and get a kubota. You woud save what you had to spend extra on the fuel bill alone in a year

I nothing major. Remove thuja hedge and stumps, construct bespoke fence in its place and extend drive
-
Thats useful info. I have an older 525+, but am looking t upgrade to the 750, so that tool will be fine if i buy one now
-
Thats the best video i have seen of this attachment. I had not considered it lifting the cut trunk over a fence like that. what model avant are you running ? could you then feed the chipper with it?

Storage of logs in a shipping container. Good plan or not?
dig-dug-dan replied to TeaMonsta's topic in Firewood forum
I thought the best place to store logs was a polytunnel. It heats up in the summer to dry the logs, and are relatively cheap to buy -
I have one, they are superb, much better build quality than ifor all round
-
All well and good, but I was told you cannot take waste back to your yard and store it for disposal as its then a waste transfer station
-
Ha. Yes. Can I then give it away as kindling.? btw regarding my relatives, they burn it in a straw burner to heat hot water.Which then is used to heat their swimming pool? Does that count?
-
It seems that waste is getting harder and harder to dispose of now. I took 6 old fence panels to the local waste site, and they wanted £140 to get rid of it! I was told I cant stack it in the yard and wait till i have a load, as thats classed as a waste transfer station. I thought of shredding it, but then what do I do with the shreddings? I have relatives on a farm whk can burn it, but its a 110mile round trip, so not viable the only hope is a roll on roll off on permananet hire.
-
Oh thats bad. Wonder if it was one of the big tree firms, bartletts or gristwood maybe. hope they get ot the bottom of it

You can buy simple shed alarms that use a magnet as a switch, so when the door opens an almighty racket goes off, similar to a rape alarm.
-
Think I will buy from elsewhere then!

My local dealer will not sell the battery top handled stihle without the correct tree climbing certificate. has anyine else suffered this?
-
Thats the single rear wheel model, its gross is 3.4 tonnes. advantages, it can be mot'd at a car garage, disadvantages, not as much payload, poorer traction in wet and no limited slip diff. mate had one and he was very pleased, I have always gone for the 35.15, twin wheels. I take it it will be a tipper? If so, that model uses tipmaster for the body, rather than the vfs version for the next one up. Beware tne paint finish on them keaves a lot to be desired, and will rust in no time, which for a tipper body, is not great.
-
Good idea, but log sales for me is just a sideline, and I sell what I have left once I have kept all the conifer for my fire. I generally sell around 10 truck loads, then thats it. No space to store much more
-
I delivered a load of logs to a pub, having carefully seasoned them, stored then dry and monitered their moisture content, only for the landlord to announce he woule leave them out in the rain before he burnt them as they would last longer on his fire!
-
All this compliance of stove manufacturers is all well and good, but the biggest problem is people buying cheap logs, often unseasoned, or wet, mas they see a bargain, and then continue to burn it. year after year, the same woman rings me up to buy logs, tellz me I am too expensive, and buys a load of crap cheap. the nieghbours told me she said it was wet and didnt burn very well, yet she still buys it because its cheap. there were rumours of some kind of legislation to stop it in the form of licencing, but who will enforce it, and what stops the consumer buying from an unlicenced source?

I think we are at cross purposes. Do you have a tcp hit500?
