  1. No because then I'll be up to 9 points under the totting-up system. Same as driving offences Whether or not they're on your record for 4 years but only live for 3 I don't know! The raffle / donation system is code for the fine, but how this meshes with the member improvement scheme which for £100 cancels the points and ensuing insurance premium increase I dunno either. Remeber the scene in demolition man?! [ame] [/ame]
  2. Nope. I've been fined and 3 points on my licence for no.3 above. Not even if you're quoting someone else.
  3. A more controlled burn would generally be longer than shorter; rather like higher octane gives greater knock resistance. Perfect stoichiometric ratio is rarely acheived in a chainsaw 2-stroke and so the sweet spot in terms of maintaining the flame propogation in the cylinder with the right fuel is nigh on impossible to produce the balance between constant pressure and constant volume. The SI engine is inherantly the latter so a shorter burn is not desirable.
  4. I think it does dry in the round. Small diameter anyway. Harvester cut beech under 10" diameter at 11% in the middle in less than 18 months.
  5. 50cc 15 or 16" (dolmar 115) 76cc 20" (stihl 461).
  6. PowerFuel Pre-mixed 2-cycle Fuel Premixed Gas and Oil | ECHO USA | ECHO USA Not here tho
  7. Photos from an article in latest Forestry Contracting Association News Magazine received today
  8. :thumbup: Warms the cockles of your heart...
  9. :w00t: £90 would be pricey for high grade hardwood here; would be lucky to get £65/cube for hard soft mix south of exeter. Then you've got RPA selling 2m3 hardwood for £50 just up the road, hence why we've quit apart from old regulars.
  10. To the OP - not heard back from x re y and z...
  11. I don't have much space, just don't sell much firewood either!
  12. Same day as delivery. Only process seasoned roundwood - no double handling.
  13. You couldn't pay me to go to a festival. £700 million I might pop my head in for an hour.
  14. Thing is Niko, we've got these things called muscles so we don't have to worry about taking the labels off our hairdryers in the woods.
  15. For clarification and this is GOSPEL: the mak and the dol are NOT the same; this goes beyond the colour! Different carb, coil, filter, etc etc.
  16. Lots of disposable income on display: what austerity?!!!
  17. This is the one; made by O'Tom; also the best according to BADA. Tick Removal: Tick-removal tool | BADA UK The "tick twister" we got is exactly the same (made by O'Tom). O'Tom Tick Remover | eBay
  18. Looks good in the vid but a drum chipper is inherantly better for these wee chippers.
  19. I now consider this thread almost an "act of supreme divine intervention". I'd never given ticks much thought until I read this thread starting yesterday. From there I read the BADA-UK page and recall a young woman I once met with Lymes disease who was truly in a terrible state - life changing illness. Gave me the shivers. Went to visit a friend this afternoon and to cut her hedges in the garden. My Wife had one of her cats on her lap and found a lump on its head... Friend thought it was an absess from a fight... I took a loot at it and it suddenly dawned on me that this grey sack was a tick; the giveaway was the pattern on the body - the grooves as such. Jumped on phone to get google images of tick - confirmed. They went promptly to the pet shop just in time before it closed and got a set of the specific tick-removal-tools (pictured). Held the poor moggy real tight and followed the destructions - out it popped; wasn't sure I'd left the mouthparts in the moggy or not until we put the vile bug into a jam jar and had a better look (pictured). Took a video of it crawling around the jar and then decided it should learn to swim in some nice nail polish remover aka 100% acetone; result. You can see the wound site in the last pic - looks ok for now. Had I not read this thread; had it not been posted......................
  20. Not for tweezers but does for the recommended tool: Tick Removal: Tick-removal tool | BADA UK You will never believe what I'm about to post on this thread; it is uncanny... hang on...
