  1. Nice one. Got a lotta respect for Jo Beau Kawasaki'd be lovely, you prefer B&S over Honda tho?
  2. Exactly, I aint! 50% TRS, no difflocks, makes no odds sliding sideways. Need tracks, simples. Might have to change to 600 tyres to permit...
  3. How is this beauty going? Got no traction aids except brash at the moment!
  4. 40 acres is nowhere near enough to yield timber sustainably from which you could make a "living" assuming a living is upwards of £1k/month.
  5. LOL :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Iceland Douglas Spruce Smoked Gammon Joint 1.8Kg | Pork | Meat | Frozen | Iceland
  6. Got a Webasto hot-start in Wifes' car - lovely
  7. How I wish this was untrue; sorely tempted to try some tracks loosely...
  8. Hi Jon I was driving earlier, try again when it suits but I'm taking a long shower - the only rain I like!
  9. you're fine thanks! :lol: Got the boat to work today
  10. Horrendous, beyond a joke now. How is there any water left in the sky ?!
  11. Get in quick 620sx fans before you-know-who does!!! Fabulous saw, only bettered by light-sabre.
  12. No rack! Just pull the 7' roundwood off the stack opposite with tongs onto the floor next to the processor and load by hand. Roundwood dia from 4" to 10". Thinking about it, maintaining 3m/hr all day might be a mission on my own, do-able but knackering. Someone to present the next log on the tray would make it easy. No sawdust clear up tho! Or loading bags, that's just straight into trucks. Japa 700 is supposed to have pto input speed of 400rpm, tractor rev counter bust so I use infra-red counter on pto shaft. That's on fast split ram speed too.
  13. Do you mean a loose cube an hour? Seems slow; can do 3m3/hour on mine i.e 1m3 loose load in 20 minutes...
  14. Precisely.
  15. The rain is insane - proper monsoon now, nuts!
  16. haha beat me to it. Outboard clutch; 1 positve, 9 negatives
  17. I've got one. Old version - tilting rather than sliding log sled. Apart from logs prone to upending in the splitting chamber can't fault it... Actually that's because the little rod that pushes the saw guard back is missing so the logs catch the guard a bit and this helps them fall skewed...
  18. There's a 10cc difference so not a like for like comparison with a 560 in output terms...
  19. Hi All, I can't find the Looking for tin sheeting for sale in Somerset thread by Men Dipping Logs in Cider thanks mate???
  20. As above, Hydroshift best avoided...
  21. Reminds me of the "they're not happy in..." ditty.
  22. Went to National Trust Christmas Fair with Wifey, overflow car park in field. Honestly, who thought to put a couple of hundred cars in a saturated field?! Tractor, Landy and RTV were busy pulling them out! Weather is terrible, fed up with it now.
