    As long as the tranny is plated for that gross train weight or you are breaking construction & use regs.

    As title. A friend needs a supplier of seasoned, dry, ready to burn firewood in chiltern for house use. PM me contact details so I can pass them on thanks.

    Ours is stacked outside under cover with open sides & has dried to 22% for no costs. & its only taken a few months. Why waste energy? Time is free (ish).

    I have to ask. Why? Kiln dried fire wood might burn hotter & you will get more heat per kg of wood but the wood you start with will weigh less when you sell it & it will have used up energy to do so. Ok you can sell it for more but its cost you more to process. Then the buyer will store it outside & it will re absorb moisture till its the same as air dried any way. It just makes no sense to me. Air dry it for long enough. Justme

    The rules have changed recently. You now need a cirtificate of destruction from the scrap man. This ensure that they do actually scarp the vehicle & that you are no longer responsible for the fines. DETAILS HERE

    Do they want a "feature" of the tree or for it to provide a canopy of light so they can party under it?
  8. Justme
    That must be wrong? All wood of the same type at the same % moisture will have the same energy in it no matter if its in logs, chip, pellet or matches. You cant add energy by changing its form. In fact if you take into account the processing power used to make the pellets (hammer mill & pelletiser) the NET energy will be less not more. Justme

    For agri use you can have a tank of 1500L & not have a bund. Domestic its 2500L

    I think he is mad. The pellet idea is to use unusable waste wood from other processes. Like saw dust & chippings. Not to actually process wood that could be used as it is or for less inputs of time, money & machinery. Justme

    Oops yeh 165 must have got it confused with my 590 4wd one lol. The splitter has been on that one too but oddly seems to work better at slower revs on the smaller one. But then the 590 is in the shop for a new hyd pump lol.

    I have that one. Run it on my MF 160. Justme

    Easiest way for him to minimise his cash flow problem is to buy & pay for the item on the last day of the quarter. Then file your Vat return online the next day. The refund will be in the bank in 3 - 7 days (well mine always are anyway). Oh & if you want a few days extra to pay the VAT then file online & you get an extra 7 days to pay up. Justme

    Its not clear from the pics but I think you might have a design fault. If I was to stand on the bar in the middle (or a large crow bar) the two ends could pull in allowing the bar to bend. Then that bend could be brought forward allowing the door to open enough to get inside. You need to add more eyes plus either shorted the bar to the nearest eye or add more eyes to each end. That small round end will easy pull round the end unless you add more supports. Also is the round end just welded through the hole or also on the other side? Justme.

    Check your hitch height. You see far to many trailered items that are hitched far to high. This alters the wheel camber/inclination/tracking. In the worse cases you see trailers (mostly builders mixers & road rollers for some reason) doing a dance behind the (white van normally) tow vehicle. Justme

    Thats a big bag most builders bags (IE the ones with sand in) are far far less & even the 80cm x 80cm x 80cm common sized ones are only 0.52 of a cube. Oddly the batch I have are 85cm square internally so are 0.61 cubes. Even a 90cm square one is only 0.7cm2 Justme

    But then he wont be able to make a claim for benefits for 4-6 weeks. Surely someone can give him some ad hoc work to tide him over so he can ditch this geezer & give him time to find a better job? From the sounds of it one day per week working for a reasonable rate would do it. Justme

    I agree with all points raised so far. I get "full & part" time but what about casual employed labour (as opposed to self employed as needed labour)? This does sound like a casual labour type agreement (its agreed cos you still turn up to work when he asks) but normaly that attracts better rates just like temping to cover bad times & paying your own holidays. Oh that reminds me temps get paid holidays now to from the agency. Justme

    Nope, my understanding is:- His GTW will still be the same loaded or unloaded as it calculated using the "plated" weights of the vehicle & trailer not the loaded weights. Justme

    Lots of wood turning stuff. Some chainsaws but only one stand splitters & prosessors stone crushers & soil handlers second hand tools fake antiques lots of fast food stalls (far far to many) hats tractors & quad

    Went today. It rained on & off & blew a bit but still had a great day. Sadly not much kit for sale so came away empty handed. Justme

    If it had been tipped on public land they would come & do it all. But as its on private land its not their problem they say. Justme

    To add insult to injury. Today whilst moving the piles to do more picking I needed to move a small tree (3 to 4 inch round) that had self set in a ditch. Was just about to set it down when some thing snagged & it spun round & took the front screen out on the digger showering me in glass. Got a few cuts & scrapes but could have been much worse. The screen was a hardened type but still produced large shards severel of which went into my wellies. Was a right job getting them out as I could not pull my foot out without cutting it to bits. Then had to spend an age sweeping the cab out & picking glass from the ground. Still needs a hoover out but its to far from a power source at the min. Will have to get down the glass shop (its a flat square glass) & see what the damage will be to the wallet. Its a bonded in type too so will need the glue stuff too. Justme
