We've had loads of them in the house over the last couple of weeks as there is a nest in the roof which I hadn't bothered to do anything with as it wasn't causing me any nuisance. Apparently wasp nests produce loads of queens at this time of year, and they all leave the nest and look for somewhere to hibernate until next year, when the survivors start their own nests. I've just been up the ladders with the waspy night night dust as we have really been inundated!

Don't blame you, they're ace. Nice find!
-
I'll give you £300 for it now!

You'd have been a mug to pass up a mint 361 - they are the greatest saw ever made!

Go to Digbits - their prices are very good and their Camoplast range have an 18 month warranty (we had one snap at 12 months old and they sent a rep to inspect followed by a new track). Whilst it's apart check your idler roller bearings and the centre bearing/hub/axle on the tensioner pulley.

I think that depends on how wet doesn't it?... They can wade to a fair depth if you don't have much soil content in your water!

Cheers all, that's what I thought.

I know it has been covered before but I have tried searching for the post and unfortunately VAT is too common a term to be used in the site search engine. If I sell timber (whole, straight off jobs, unprocessed and very green) to a firewood merchant who will then process the timber and sell on as firewood to domestic end users what rate should I be charging him VAT on the timber I supply? I thought it was 20%, but his accountant says 5% (which is the rate he applies to the firewood he sells on). Any info gratefully received - cheers.

No - they used to be imported by Workware (probably still are). I think if they are over 12 months old you are out of luck, otherwise I'd say take them back to whoever you bought them off.

It'll be sawdust getting in through a hole in the tongue - it is a common problem. If you have had a year out of them you have done well - the soles on my last 4 pairs split in half before 6 months old. I won't buy any more unfortunately, as the quality is now crap. They are superb boots until they fall apart.

Depends on the hourly rate?! Very tidy and productive job there, it looks like a great site for getting the most from your kit! Surely the excuse for Valtra/roof mount/big chipper shopping is getting stronger?...

I know Greenmech made 1928 machines on turntables, but these have possibly been superseded by the new 190 and as already stated this is new and unlikely to be available on a turntable yet. It is probably worth an ask - the 1928 is an incredible machine (often overlooked IMO).
-
Ring them up, it depends on volume (due to carriage).

Is it a mammoth task to register as a rhi supplier? I assume part of the process involves chain of custody of raw material from specified source (though this is only a guess on my part). Skyhuck - can you set it up as a commercial system (does it heat office space/workshops etc)? The payments are then guaranteed for 20 years as opposed to 7 for domestic. I have been told by a couple of customers with commercial set ups that the actual fuel source isn't monitored - the payments are generated by meter readings of heat/power generated apparently.
-
Have you tried the new gm arborist 190 yet? I don't know anyone that has and would be interested to know how it compares in this sector. I was a little disappointed that the forst's throat seemed pretty narrow for the size of the machine when I looked at it at the APF ( it did look well screwed together though). I've heard mixed reviews of the 6 inch.

RyeOil on here is very cheap.

Firewood Supplier needed near Glastonbury
monkeybusiness replied to benbound's topic in Firewood forum
I'm not sure if there is anyone on this forum who can help you... -
Just put a new motor on then - they aren't mega money.
-
And check that the splines are good in the feed roller - they can wear and slip under load.
-
They routinely spray cereal crops off prior to harvest to assist crop drying.
-
I was going to say the same - the mud suggests a pretty good turnout to the stand!
-
I'm a month into a pair of profell experts and am very impressed so far.

You shouldn't need a specific chipper mechanic to diagnose the engine not reaching max revs, anyone handy with engines should be able to play around with the throttle stops to see if lifting the revs solves your problem. Alternatively the no stress control can pick up the rotor speed from a sensor reading a toothed ring mounted on the flywheel driveshaft. If the sensor gap is too great the readings can be incorrect. More likely the drive belts are slipping then the rotor doesn't reach the required speed and the no stress doesn't work. If the speed feed comes from the alternator also check that the fan belt isn't slipping, allowing an under speed at the alternator. All of this can be checked by anyone with a bit of mechanical knowledge - let us know how you get on!

Sorry, I don't know much about those without seeing it. Does the control box display chipper revs when the machine is running?
