Dunno; differing opinions. Some say biomass has goosed the industry, others say grants and over-stretching. I say getting cub scouts to do timber contracting. As per my other thread. -
More bad news: Old news by now perhaps but I've just heard one of the most experienced, respected etc contractors down here has packed up. That's four harvester / forwarder outfits jacked in 2016 and I can think of another 2 close behind; in devon and cornwall alone. It is terrible.

Where? I'll buy a good load of it... You're looking at a few tonne there!

They told you nonsense. Detonation is a result of the compression ratio in this case, not the flash point of the fuel. The CR is fixed. SI CR and spark unlikely to ignite slow burning derv.

Hell no. Burning oil 28 sec is even lower Cet. than Gasoil so putting gasoline in your domestic boiler is only ok if you have a house to demolish.

Rather than replacing the heater core...

R.ange of moisture content of air dried logs you sell

I only dry in the round. Which is why I don't like ash or stuff over 6-8" diameter i.e. processor size anyway. I've got DF, JL and SS that's max 18%, just from hanging around. Ash, the so-called best firewood - pah! Whereas give me beech any day - small diameter will dry in the round very fast. In the right position of course, well below 25% mc. Absolutely refuse to double handle. Harvester - Forwarder - Lorry - Processor - Customer. -
Do you actually bother to read independant tests? Our gripe is that you peddle false facts as truth. Nothing worse. You should go into politics; you're wasted on saws.
-
I'm all for a meaty hinge in those circumstances. Stump too high for my liking tho.

Aint that the truth. Whereas I would have snapped yer hand off to live then. No, it isn't rose tinted. Over 1/3 of the population on anti-deppresants will testify to that. Materially well off maybe but utterly miserable.

I think a dodgy water pump will do that too; either where the impeller has come loose on the shaft or where the seal has gone and pulls air in on the vac side of the casing, or the shaft bearing / seal goes and does the same.

In a oner.

The last 3 words... Brings a tear to my eye that post. We were so much happier.

Yes that sealey kit should come with standard and sensitive for diesels fluid. The latter since diesel doesn't contain the uhc that the test fluid changes colour with. The pink stuff from Dr Headgasket Ive used... Sykes cheaper but only one fluid. Using the standard juice for a CI maY produce false negatives.
-
Do a combustion leak block test with the correct 4x sensitive pink fluid for diesels. This will rule out or confirm head gasket; cylinder to water jacket breach. White smoke may be steam. Does the coolant system pressurise a lot?
-
Yeah, LNG and propane powered forklifts been around for yonks, CNG never really took off. Be interested to see this ere chipper you mention.
-
Prius chipper? Electric even. Big motor, big batteries, overnight charge, that sort of malarkey... Be quiet eh. Doesn't really reduce overall emission of course, just local instead of power station. Oh but that'll be a nuke sorry.
-
Exactly
-
Yes the trailers were very well regarded. Strong as anything, as you say pto drive. Been a couple on ebay recently, one near here, I've met the bloke with one in Derek Lane hydraulics one day.
-
That Timberliner looks very like the Gremo 904. That's what got me thinking Ford engine.... See page 20 sorry

Oy!!!

How I feel about cars right now. A diesel man through and through but can see our next family car being a poxy petrol as they're now more reliable than a diesel due to the latter being plasteted with nonsense.
