It took me about half an hour on that site josh a there was hard standing, in a filed a bit longer, as you have to set it up twice, then put a log on, and set it up again when the log has settlet the legs into the ground, and you have to keep checking it if on soft ground with big logs. There is no weight limit as such, but 35" diameter is about the max, and i can milll up to 17' long, but can buy 7' bolt on bed extensions. I was told today that I was more accurate than a 'mizer too, which was nice. Cant rate the machine highly enough. Robert, that was a contract job, so on site. I very very rarely mill beech that i get in the yard or take down myself, as it is VERY hard to deal with- EVERYTHING likes eating it as it dries, and most people see it as a very 'boring timber', so is hard to get rid of, and it has a healthy blunting effect on tools compared to most woods.

I thought flames too. Unfortubately the colour on the pics seems a bit faded:confused1:. The boards are 34" wide!! David there was the remains of a small bracket very low amongst the buttress roots, about 6" above the ground, and signs of where the other bracket had been at a similar height, although the bracket was now detached and rolling about on the floor. The top of the bracket was a bit like this one...

A few from a beech that i milled over the last few days. Not sure what the fungi was, Rowan the bruce felled the tree. There was a large bracket in poor state kicking around that reminded me of a rigidoporous bracket? It was in a pretty poor state mind you...

And some CODIT pics- who says beech is boring timber:001_rolleyes:
-

IO looked into HPI a few years ago, but with so much knackered with my body already (elbows, wrsits, missing discs, spinobifida.......)it wasnt worth the money. Extend the overdraft and drive on Jon. Hope it sorts itself out soon. Mind over matter and all that. -

I have been loading the landy to the gills for a while:blushing: as normal. and on the way home from a job on Friday, the wheel bearings colapsed in the passenger rear Hub. These 4 vids are a wobble rebuild of the hub. Sorry about the poor quality at times, its quite hard to hold a phone and do the work at the same time. Enjoy, criticize, laugh as you will guys:biggrin: It ay even help- you never know!!

pessimistic old goat???? But that is exactly the point of the forum. You ask a question, you get a plethora of (often conflicting) views drawn from a wealth of knowledge and experience, and that allows you to make up your own mind. That is what you WANT when asking a question on here. From this thread Ady is able to establish that the overwhelming view is that the Kombi system is a good bit of kit, with the minority of users dissatisfied. A job well done IMO.

Thanks David. The place is amazing for trees. They have a most unusual collection from all rpound the world, the owner being an advisor to Kew amongst other places, and also a collector of plants/ seeds etc from the world over. I will try to get back soon and get some more pics. The drive to the house is a mature burry lime avenue.....beautiful.
