  1. Can't remember the make, black one from Hydroscand, will update....
  2. Indeed. The better the oil the wider the margin of safety with insufficient UCL in the mix; I would hazard that castor and RL would survive the worst lean-off / over-rev / over-heat / scenario. Ditto. Ultimate Fuel. That's right on the whole BUT there are FC oils that out-perform FD oils in lubricity terms such as RL; simple reason the basestock is clean enough not to require the anti-oxidation and other additives / detergents required for FD. FTR, RL is widely regarded as the best money can buy; there are some Motul / AMS / Silkolene products hot on their heels, but none are 100% POE basestock. Echo Power Blend is higher performing than Stihl Ultra and Husky. Not lower smoke tho, despite being FD. Black art lol.
  3. Bath is tops too...
  4. Red voids warranty on strato saws. No one reads owners manuals any more. De Ja Vu!
  5. Obviously the 750 was 750 kg version: I think from memory there was little in it, spare wheel absent on the 750, unbraked so a weight saving there? Slightly shorter hopper. I used to know the differences but a distant memory sorry.
  6. Ivy = anti measuring fluff. Just convert and measure. For all the grief I'd offer £15/tonne for that.
  7. About right. Used to get a £1 for a log, 50p for a bar or rail on piece rate; this was in 1995-1997. Chain was £1/inch then and still is now! Pics attached are what chainsaw courses teach now: note to landowners - you don't save a penny using them to bugger up your woods!
  8. I've never seen moss cutting like that before - thanks as that made for interesting watching and I searched for a few more like it. Does it dry out sitting on top the field for the coming season? Seems they do sausage harvesting too! [ame] [/ame]
  9. 20 metre crane?!
  10. Not read the article; but where's the planting?! Insane lack of it...
  11. From a metallurgy POV the LR 2.7/3.0 TD6 is a good unit. 60 degree V made from compacted vermicular graphite cast iron - much better than an alloy block. Tis the Ford PSA unit fitted to Jaguar S class, Pug 2.7 HDi etc.
  12. Had one. Merc engine isn't as great as it ought to be. Leccy probs and very expensive parts.

  14. Hmmm, I thought the LC looked 1/3 beefier in important areas... Puma engine? 2.2? 2.2 is pints of milk, not what should be in a truck. More like it.

  16. If Carlsberg sold fertiliser...
  17. This has been to death on here before. Last 8 wheeler I had in was with 12 months stacked roundwood. 19 tonnes, 24 metres. Mixed hardwood and softwood. All depends on the m/c. Sky's the limit with dry timber. Only accept m3 if the stuff is as straight as softwood and you agree with the stack measure on the lorry. 0.7-0.75 for bars, 0.55 used to be hardwood. Poker straight h/wood at 0.55 you'd be laughing.
  18. It's the same with everything: boats, diggers, plant in general, automobiles. All raising bmep in the hope of poke without smoke. Mazda being one exception... good on em... Most 8 tonne excavators have gone from ~4 litre engines to 3 and lower. CASE gone down to 2.2, Volvo 2.6...
  19. Eat my soot! Long Live Diesel Power! [ame] [/ame]
