  1. It must be the devils saw with a number like that Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk. Check ALL the simple things first.
  2. I must admit that the thought of an elevator is becomming more apealing as i get older.
  3. If it looks like this: R & J Self Tractors For style alone, i would buy it.
  4. Ummmmm tractors. (wife is looking over my sholder) " you have just bought a tractor, no no no no & no"
  5. In theory yes, as all the producers with processors don't want cord that won't go through there machines. In reality no as nobody wants to sell their product cheap. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk. Check ALL the simple things first.
  6. Try them with pole gaffs, rather than tree gaffs. Pole gaffs are shorter so your boot is in contact with the stem. This gives you more support and less wobble. The only downside is they are no good for trees with Ivy.
  7. I converted my Rayburn from oil to wood for around £200, you won't get cheaper than that.
  8. But a huge percent of your profit goes to pay off the large and expensive machinery to keep the human touch out of the equation.
  9. Read the first paragraph 'This guidance applies if you use labour supplied by a third party, supply or make arrangements to supply labour'. Does this apply to you ?
  10. Alturnating rows stacked at 90° to each other. Stacks need to be off the ground and a tarp on the top to keep the rain off. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk. Check ALL the simple things first.
  11. With logs with large knots, i always split down through the middle of the knot first. With bent logs have the middle of the bend closest to the back of the splitter so as the wedge comes down it is pulled into the center of the wood. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk. Check ALL the simple things first.
  12. The vent covering bows out from the stove, so even when it is closed there are large air gaps around the vent. I have padded the vent with a nut and a couple of washers to force it against the stove, and from a better seal. I am now ditch the vent all together, and build a propper one.
  13. I have got the Ecoburn 7, and it is pants. It is a nightmare to keep in over night, due to the naff nature of the vent. The vent design is not very good and i had to modify it in an attempt to keep the stove in. Aarrow have not been particularly helpful, and if the stove had not been plumbed in i would have probably taken it back.
  14. The mighty Nuffield is £89 per year with Lycetts
  15. These stacks of Laylandii took about 45 minutes to split and stack a cube.
  16. Billets stacked with a tarp over the top will half the moisture content in about six months. You then have the advantage of being able to cut them into what ever lenght the customer want. No double handling and minimum out lay of (expensive) machinery. Other will disagree but it works for me. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk. Check ALL the simple things first.
  17. I would mill into the thickest planks that you can move.
  18. You will probably have to work as a partnership for insurance. Just ring up your insurance and tell them what you want. They will then be able to tell you what you need to do to get insurance. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk. Check ALL the simple things first.
  19. Cheeky The dog has already got his spot sorted, and still plenty of room for chainsaws etc.
  20. Hopefully 57hp The hydraulics are definitley better than the mighty Nuffield. The ram cycle on the splitter is about half the time with the Zetor, but it is 20 years younger.
  21. AAAHHH new toy, move over mighty Nuffield, hello Zetor Bring on the abuse
