  1. Anyone changed the belts on a 935i? It looks like you have to strip off a load of stuff to get them out from the two pullies on the end of the engine??? Surely its easier than this? HELP!!!
  2. Are you guys referring to the shorter hookeroons? I wonder whether the longer versions would be heavy enough to use with sawlogs?
  3. Well you got there in the end! I liked em mate.
  4. Just got this in an email......the OAP version....:lol: YouTube - Are You Lonesome Tonight (Senior Moments Version)
  5. My missus would kill me if i got the camera out at those special moments... Excellent shots Mark:thumbup1:
  6. Absolutely brilliant mate. I can remember doing that very bit of music when I learnt. His tuning is really good!
  7. That was a good point Andrew.
  8. For the last 38 minutes i have been listening to some great reggae sounds on the telly...Junior Murvin, police and thieves at the time of posting.....beautiful Black Ark sounds. BBC4.
  9. Im not sure Stu, I was listening to him chatting to people from natural England when he was describing that. The primary use is not for removal of infected material, more for the likes of moorland reclamation or (for e.g) miscanthus harvesting etc etc. TBH I idnt get a huge amount of time to chat to him in detail much more than i have mentioned in the thread so far, but he did mention clearance with more machinery, and lads with saws and fires clearing the final remains after ramorum clearance, the obvious benefits being the speed of the clearance, and a;so the useability of the cut material.
  10. The owner of the machine organised the demo. He is a very sorted guy.......but then given his family background he should be.
  11. Yeah its truly the way forward for scrub clearance and land reclamation. Really big business in poland (of course!!)
  12. Aah the S&DJR.....one of the most famous and loved of the pre Beeching lines. During 1918, the camp changed from being the depot for the Royal Naval Division to being an 'Intake Camp' for the Royal Flying Corps which was at that time being reformed as the Royal Air Force, and a branch railway line was built to bring materials and personnel to the camp. The railway was linked with the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway line immediately south of Blandford Forum railway station and there was a daily passenger service to bring civilian staff to the camp from Bournemouth and the villages in between. At the end of 1919, however, the camp was closed and both the wooden huts built for the RN Division and the camp's railway line were removed.
  13. Nice one Matt!! I love the pic of the base of that tree.
  14. Npo it think its prtty much ' thats the speed'. Actually it is incredibly clean after he has passed with that machine, and the bales are as they want them, in order to dry iun the required time. The bales dont heat up at all, like chip does, and in 3 months are at 30% moisture iun the middle. The system is excellent where ramorum infected plants are present. The bales can be made, the kit is disinfected, and the bales transported (covered) to the storage site, where they are covered for 3 months in breathable membrane, then chiped into covered artic lorries, then sent to biomass plants, meaning that infected sites can be properly cleaned up and the infected material completely remioved. The advantage here aswell is that almost no re-seeding takes place as nearly all material is removed. Here is His video:[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J1l9oEjkLM]YouTube - ‪Moor Heat Biobaler‬‏[/ame] and here a website:http://www.moor-heat.co.uk/biomass/
  15. Its just a big bar made from 4x4 box section to protect the tractor as it bends the stuff down.
  16. I went to a demonstration of an awesome machine today. A good friend of mine runs a company on Bodmin Moor, called Moor Heat, and has just invested in this bit of kit. It basically mulches anything you throw at it.....gorse, blackthorn etc etc etc. The 1/3 ton bales have the equivalent energy to a third of a barrel of crude. They take about 3 months to dry, and will go in a biobale burner to create heat that will then dry logs, materials for wood briquettes etc etc. There are 2 in the UK i believe, and 16 in the world. He goes all over the country with the kit if anyone is interested BTW. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PNL5bBXZos]YouTube - ‪Ru's biobaler‬‏[/ame]
  17. The seller is a plumber!?!
  18. Theres a huge recycling yard opposite Vermeers yard in Northampton which is ful of ship etc etc. They may take it.
  19. Is it a fine brown sludge that is in the filter? If so, then you arent suffering friom crap in the tank, but bugs in the diesel.DIESEL FUEL BUG You can buy additives such as Fuel Set Fuel Set Concentrated Fuel Conditioner - Only £18.50 - Force 4 Chandlery which you add. As more bio is put in diesel this is becoming more of a problem. It has been a problem for years in marine diesel due to the condensation from tanks around water, and the cheap grade of red and loads of other things. The bug lives between the water and the diesel, and the sludge is basically dead bugs or their crap I think. Draining and steam cleaning will help, but without additives the problem will eventually return. If you are getting grittier fine particles then you probably have dirt in your tank.
  20. Haha- I love the triple posting mate!! At 200 you should have NO problem getting rid of that:sneaky2:
