Same timescales I had when I partially severed my thumb tendon. Tendons take longer to heal than bone and very important to heal correctly
-
Yes The one next to its coming out next year

Really starting to enjoy grinding now with the extra power of the bandit. Jobs that i would have expected to take a long day with the vermeer are now being done before lunch

Todays Jobs, fair drive to an Elm to fell and cut up, onto a cherry to top, then thuja to finish off (customer had made a start) finished with cutting a few planks for outside tables for the local nursery.

Yeah, day rate, customer picks you up on their boat, meet at the jetty at 08:00, back at the jetty 15:00, do what you can in the time on the island. cutting wedges out of a 5ft dia log with a 50cc saw will be painful and very time consuming. Remember you’ll also need to get correct PPE which will be harder to sell on after. Find someone with a 90cc saw, couple new chains, files and fuel to cut it to 30cm rings ready to split. the amount you’ll loose in kit depreciation for this one off job and excess fuel running a little saw so much will pay a hefty way towards a pro for a day, then cost in your time too and the pro works out cheaper!

Importance of warming up a hydaulic drive?
josharb87 replied to Woodworks's topic in Large equipment
I thought the turbo thing was because the turbo can still be spinning at maybe 200,000RPM, turning the engine straight off results in the turbo still spinning but dry. Letting it idle first is to let the turbo loose RPM before turning the engine off and subsequently oil supply which lubes and cools the bearings. Be interesting if someone more knowledgeable can give the right answer! Try starting your machine at -10 Woodworks and try driving fast, it won't, oils too thick, all components work harder trying to force the treacle about, be kind and let the oil circulate on idle a minute or two -
That’s a very old can!

Whats the price and legal load capacity of that RUFT3500 please @Spinner @Paul Mullany

Personally I’d avoid rotatech and go on chainsawbars.co.uk

Similar things here in Sweden. Its a a race to the bottom though, cheapest price wins, “limited” to 10 company’s able to buy the details.

No, but have you any pictures? Never heard of one before!

This popped into my mind reading the screenshots!

Quick question, hydraulic filter change, do I remove the whole unit in the picture to gain access or try and unscrew the very top part?

edit, wrong thread!

Such a thing as a hydraulically powered chipper?
josharb87 replied to Big J's topic in Large equipment
A while ago i saw an Alstor for sale, with a small Farmi chipper powered off the astor's hydraulics. can't remember the model. I think, it was mounted on a very simple hook loader frame which used the crane rather than a hydraulic hook to drag the frame with chipper up, rather than lifting the entire weight of the chipper. I guess with the abundance of 2nd hand road tow chippers in the uk it'd be cheaper and easier to get an old one, mount it on a frame with wind down legs so you could drive under to load it rather than lift. -
Seems there’s a lot of fattys in denial on here

Sometimes I think the manufactures just make things for the sake of making something!

Local dealer is supplying this special build

Happy birthday Darrin!

That’s what I mean though, with a post 2013 BE AND CE license you still wouldn’t be able to drive a BE registered fith wheel with a trailer over 3,5t as your E part for B vehicles is still only 3,5t....is there any way you could drive a BE fifth wheel with the “unlimited” trailer weight on a post 2013 license?

I once worked with a guy who always had a sprinkle in his roll ups, he was envious that i didn't have any addictions, so one day set himself the challenge of going cold turkey all day. All was going well until we pulled off site at lunch time, him driving the lorry, i thought he was messing about driving on the wrong side of the road, until a car came towards us, i told him "Er, this side of the road mate" "you sure" "yes, look theres a care coming!!!" Told him to have a splif and return to normal As for tattoos, Stockholm is now believed to be home to the world's most inked population outside of tribal societies so its not a big deal here. But tattoos are generally well executed here rather than blurry cheap looking ones. Although i do think people with facial tattoos are a bit of a dick, thats just a personal opinion though
