    SH did have it on his radar this week as was looking at the logset 5f but reluctant due to rear bunk extension being weak. I know the 840 at rcfm been worked really hard all its life and don't want to go that big. Wouldn't mind a rottne myself but just don't exist for the age and hours I want. Yes that 840 has that look about it doesn't it!

    Machine Mart?

    The Bruunett was made to carry two bays of 2m pulp; you can get 2 x 2.2's on there but 2.3's forget it - they just fall off the back. I'm very happy carrying 3.1 chip and try to go a bit higher due to the lost space at the back and of course 12s and 16s are great - more productive. Given the sizes you mention, the 820 and 810 are indeed the right size machine for you. 830 will perhaps be my next machine since I can't find a TJ810 either! Failing that it will be an 840 or 5F. elmsdown - SH from Logset had your 830 on his radar last time he emailed me; I've been looking for a new forwarder for some time; wanted a Rottne F12 but the early bird caught the worm and I was too slow.

    Finding a TJ 810 or a V 820 on this small island seems nigh on impossible; hence why I mentioned the others; bit bigger sure. What do you needs in terms of minimum size bays; I wish I could get 2 bays of 10's but then that's whole bigger size machine that I'd never get into places where an ol 578 will squeeze into! Some very awkward sites!

    Burred, bent or twisted bar?

    There's an 840 available from RCFE, Logset 5FP from Shaun Harper and this 810 if you're willing to travel! Timberjack 810D - Forwarders, Year of manufacture: 2004 - Mascus UK

    Tanackered! Mate of mine uses them; no way as durable as Echo gear. IMO -
  8. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Yep and out of tune haha

    Kawasaki motor yes, possibly in lawnflite machine...?
  11. TimberCutterDartmoor
    The Kawasaki or an Echo - best Jap 2-strokes money can buy, end of. Honda 4-strokes can get problems with the crankcase breather; both mine did. Robin engines alright too.

    What he said. Poor you. They're paying you

    I've had similar before; log customer left loads too much cash in an envelope; he did it deliberately to test me though. Never worth yielding to the temptation.
  14. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Larch, oh and more larch!
  15. TimberCutterDartmoor
    bugger, just logged a load of that!

    Just the way I was brought up I guess; I'm not going to suddenly change, apologise and repent or change my ways. Ref toilet toll; are you kidding?! I'd never dream of asking to use someones loo, so I guess I'd expect others not to request mine. Bah humbug. Yours faithfully, Mr Nasty. PS: sparky in plymouth sued a customer for cake that made him ill. Lol.
  17. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Nope. Expectation from the contractor is ruder (imo). Where has this unwritten rule about beverage provision come from?!

    Funnily enough I have a 3-phase / single phase combi genny that gets used for welding about once every 3 years! Only 70 hours. Genmac Combiplus 7900 RE - 8 kVA; probably not powerful enough?

    Can't understand the entitlement to tea / coffee mentality. If you want a drink, take it with you; height of rudeness to expect it from your customer imo, shows disrespect too. When they do offer a cuppa, it's usually rank anyway, watery or instant coffee imo; not the majority opinion I know.
  20. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Nice. What size is that gate bud?
  21. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Well I've gone to the local hustings tonight and the ukip candidate clearly couldn't be arsed to turn up
  22. TimberCutterDartmoor
    You should be designing and testing tour de france road bikes for pinarello...
  23. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Yes the old trick is to rest the end of the dipstick on blue roll (the big blue rolls you get from industrial supplies) and watch the speed at which the drop extends out on the tissue. Slow movement shows little or no dilution and fast spread shows fuel dilution, in some cases the centre will be black oil and the fuel will go out further less coloured. Your techniques are much the same; the smell is as you say a good initial test too.

    Haven't had a drop of rain all month; I'm having to water the garden. Love it dry but poor plants. And another thing!- It's Oak before Ash here - by a long way!

    Do you think that Mr 1% should help out Jon then? As in it should be forced upon him under a legislative system?! I'm in that catagory but don't for a minute expect someone wealthier than me to help. Someone gifted me £50 when my stuff got stolen as a kindness; I certainly didn't think because they had disposable funds that they should help me out and I had to swallow my pride to accept it. This says two things to me: you need money above you to trickle down to you and it's a good thing that it happens but certainly not expected.
