  1. i sell big rings (18inch ish dia) ready for splitting for £40 for a lr 130 load (approx 6ftx8ftx2ft) of green ash (sat for 6 month still green inside) pay as little as you can!
  2. i do like them, i think anything with tracks is ace! but for day to day work for us at the moment, we might only need a tracked machine 3 or 4 days a year, id definatly be open to giving it a 2nd chance . . perhaps on a weeks demo though
  3. it was a demo machine with not many hours on either-if i thought it was far superior to the 150, we'd have got it, but i thought the performance compared to a 150, and the downsides of a tracked machine wernt worth getting it
  4. same i guess found that the rollers kept getting jammed, was over a year ago now, but remember not being overly impressed with it comparing it to the 150, i thought i should have been more impressive than i was
  5. ah ok, agree infeed hopper is a pain. although i wasnt overly impressed with the 190 (tracked) in chipping capability in comparison
  6. having only used a 190 for a day, but a 150 every day, what are the problems its rectified?
  7. cheers rob! i know youre way works so i'll use it
  8. give that van a wash! thanks 18 stoner, best make a start on my box this week, any tips from you??!!
  9. rob, what was that drill bit you had for drilling out blanks to hide the screw heads called? gonna have to build a lean too now to store the wood, making too many planks, and storing in sheds there isnt enough wind flow to prevent mould!
  10. we had some concrete ones to attatch to trees on the edge of a construction site, they were supplied with a bit of thick curved wire to loop round the trunk. tbh i think a tree tie round the trunk, and some wire to attatch box to tie would be better
  11. as peter says, timberwolf support is good round this area. 30 hours? go for it, the one i use was brought new a year or so ago, now 350 hours, only one small eletrical problem
  12. did you order the sheets pre cut to size? how are you fixing the sheets to the frame? riviting?
  13. some yew, to be made into a table and some other stuf for xmas presents i can now see why people stare at paintings for hours on end, this wood looks beautifull in the flesh! and sorry Rob D for not sorting any wood out, but this milling lark is addictive!
  14. mog or 130+youre existing trailer if following a tractor
  15. isnt the husky lid, and possibly the above lid, not suitable as tree climbing helmets now need to be tested for side impact protection?
  16. 200 460 660 880, the two id like to see performance upgrades in most would be the 200, but also the 880, id guess the 66/88 would be the easiest because of their size
  17. i hate re-topping connys, fair play to you boys!
  18. ms660 is an awesome saw, my preference is the 660. . after the 395 seized
