haha saw that in the forestry journel

yeah i wouldnt mind knowing a bit more to, i know that we were hauling bulker trailers of cider apples to bulmers last yeah, thats a lot of apples haha this topic has really got me wanting to bolt some bits on to one of our splitters
-
all the wood that we have fell this winter, it not covered at the moment, we will leave it drying without cover, untill the end of summer when it will all be tarped over so the worst of the rain stays off and it continues to dry, thats how we have always done it, works really well.
-
we have been using old tarp for years, its been able to dry and breathe well. We get it off farmers that have been covering silage, so its old n torn it keeps the worst of it off, but still alowing the wood to breathe
-
after reading this i went and looked at our log splitter, it wouldnt be that hard to do at all just bolt some sides along where the ram runs, take off the splitter (comes off anyway) and just use a flat steel plate, use some guttering underneath the deck for the cider to run through. Dont really see that there would be a large gain from this, but would be somthing fun to try ha.
-
yeah i no what you mean, but to be honest that tractor wouldnt travel far anyway, so we just use it in the yard
-
its not actually a 3 point linkage crane, its a Hiab Crane taken off a lorry and welded to the back of the fordson, then a pump on the pto. I will get some pics of the whol set up if you want. You can generally pick hiabs off from farm sales and stuff like that, you could quite easily addapt it to fit the 3 point linkage, our is just welded straight onto the tractor though.

coppicing is a gooood idea equipment wise, to be honest i would not bother splashing out thousands of pounds for one, we sell a lot of firewood and we manage fine with "vintage" machinery, look at this topic for some pics - http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=5415 Cheapest piece of tractor driven equipement is probably a second hand saw bench which you could easily pick up for a couple of hundred pounds, e.g. http://www.farmingmachines.co.uk/machinery/M03700 or somthing more basic and cheaper like ours i'll upload a few pics or a sprial type loggsplitter [ame]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_9tsgLexvSQ[/ame] I have recenlty got hold of an older one of these, hasnt changed much, works well: http://www.japa.fi/en/index.php/klapikoneet/sirkkelikoneet/japa-100.html

i see, thats a bit more than i would like to pay at the moment, plus your location in realastion to mine, but thanks for giving me some more info
-
o right cool, i have a leyland 270, would it be a bit heavy for this? how much can it lift? thanks for the info
-
ah right, well we have a hiab mounted on a fordson major at the moment, but that is really restricted to use in the yard, as you will see from these videos - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_9tsgLexvSQ http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=svZ5e0KyKgk i am starting to think about getting somthing that would be more moblie to load up our trailers on site easier than a loader. Just wondering about prices n stuff. So would this mount to a tractor realtivly easy? Would it run well?
-
hey, just saw your ad in the classsifieds about the fmv crane, just wondering how much these things are normally going for?
-
o cool, they in good condition? might have a few mates from college who will defo be interested Giving my saw a good run in now
-
havent got that make, but have 2 of the sprial log splitters, we found that the orginal size "log table" it gives you is too small for what we wanted, so we got one custom made by a mate, heres a video [ame]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_9tsgLexvSQ[/ame]
-

meh said i would keep posting some pics and info, so heres some more, we have a lot of "vintage" equipment still in use. New Leyland - by new i mean its new to us replacing one of our masseys to run the saw bench, its ugly, someones painted this with household out of a can piant haha, but it goes so that all we care about. Old JCB - not used much anymore, shame really, tidy machine, but its nice to have when we do have some work for it.
